Music Composition - Modern Classical composition for ensembles, orchestra, ballet, opera

I specalize in composing music for ensembles, soloists, and orchestra - with a Masters of Music Composition from the Koninklijke Conservatorum Antwerpen. My goal is to pass along knowledge and coach young musicians who wish to create their own music, either as a composer, or simply to stimulate their own performance practice.

I have a background of classical, folk, and various popular music styles including heavy metal, rock, pop, etc.

We can work through the development of your works, touching on relevant aspects of music history, and implementing them into your compositional practice.

About Me

What is most rewarding in teaching is to be able to pass on knowledge to someone keen to learn. I’m quite open and my lessons although focused on bagpipes encompass all aspects of musicality - having a Masters in music I am quite versed in this and know how to break down all the little bits in a way that’s digestible for the beginner, or interesting for a more advanced player.

I like a student who is genuinely interested and is willing to put in some time throughout the week, and shows up at the lesson having made some progress. My job is to help you along your journey, not necessarily to push you up the hill myself.

I have taught as a TA at Acadia University in Canada, lecturing the music composition class, and correcting exams/assignments for the theory class - this was extremely rewarding for me, I was confronted by a variety of skillsets and learning approaches which I had to adapt more or less to each student.

I’m a nomad in a way, having lived in three different countries in the last four years - whatever background you’re from I’m certain we will get along!

If you’re looking to test out the pipes, give me a shout!

Best,

A.

Great class, very informative and pedagogical. A very approachable, friendly and professional person. It was great
I offer lessons on the chanter, as well as on the full pipes themselves! Home in Canada I've worked with kids, to young adults, to the elderly - if you're looking for an introduction to the pipes, or to hone your skills then I look forward to hearing from you!
If you want to learn how to play some chords, or you want to learn a song to impress your loved one, or you want to play that metal song from Stranger Things, then you've come to the right place! I am a classically trained guitarist with a background in heavy metal and rock! I've been playing for over 18 years and hold a bachelor of music.

In this Classical Composition or Songwriting class, that's exactly what we'll be focusing on! You can choose to focus on composing classical music, using scores, or creating your own songs, either for you or other people to sing. You will learn music theory, learn how to use music software like reaper, ableton, sibelius or musescore, and you'll work alongside me to discover your own voice in music making. My name is Bernardo and I am a composer from Portugal who specializes and studies contemporary classical music. I also create my own songs in a singer-songwriter style and I have made music for film and videogame. I am currently doing a master's in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp where I study with Wim Henderickx. I have studied in the past with composers such as Luís Tinoco, Carlos Caires and Eurico Carrapatoso. My works have been played in several European concert halls and I have in my portfolio works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, orchestra and choir. I am also currently doing a bachelor's in singing at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, so if you are a singer-songwriter, we can also work on your own voice.

Cello lessons. Improve your calm, boost your imagination, build concentration
Hello! I am Laura and I have a master's diploma in cello. One of my personal breakthroughs has been to build concentration through music, and I wonder if I can help you achieve the same through cello playing. Throughout my teaching experience, I have had both kids and adult beginners, cello as a second instrument, and already started teenagers who wanted to improve further their skills. In terms of my studies, this is my story: On the excitement of exploring music and cello, I've traveled and studied in various countries like the UK (one year and a half of my Bachelor's), the Netherlands (master in music), and France, where I currently receive lessons.

Alexander
Professional piano education for everybody.
Hello! I'm Alexander. I'm a pianist and I'm 20. I have a distinctive relationship with the piano. In my opinion, it cannot be mastered by force, endurance, and even more so by impartiality. I will help you discover the art of the piano as something alive, where sound is not an illusion, but a physical wave. Where the scene is not fear, but a monologue way to convey your thoughts and experiences to the listener. Where the body is not a burden, but relaxation and liberation. Everything is professional and rational. Every minute with me is development. Music is waiting for you.

Robrecht
Classes Musical Dictation, ear training / Class Musical Eartraining
In these lessons I would like to teach the student how to tackle a music dictation and how you can study for it. The dictation is very easy after a few lessons; after looking at the harmonization, possible modulations and interval exercises to more easily recognize intervals and memorize melody lines, it will be much easier when you hear a dictation to be able to fill it without error. You will then also have a better relative absolute hearing.
