Music fundamentals & orientation (theory, solfège, history, analysis)

98.34 $ /h

Have you ever listened to a piece of music and wanted to understand more about it?

I’m offering personalized music lessons, where YOU decide what to explore! Whether you're curious about harmony, rhythm, musical styles from around the world, or any other concept, I will tailor each lesson to your interests. And if there’s a topic I’m not familiar with yet, I’ll take the time to learn and prepare the lesson just for you.

Or, if you prefer, embark on a guided introduction to music, exploring essential concepts through carefully selected listening examples from across the globe.

Saxophone lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians

57.57 $ /h

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

Public speaking is one of the scariest things for human beings. For some, it can be extremely debilitating and hinder their careers.
But this apprehension concerns a very large percentage of the population and crosses all categories of age, gender or socio-professional background. If you are in this case, you can therefore start by reassuring yourself: you are not alone!
The second good news is that it can be worked on! It is by practicing that you will learn to lower your stress level, to be more aware of what you have to do and to prepare yourself well.
To practice, I offer private lessons: a caring and demanding framework that will allow me to adapt to your specific needs. Once you have understood your fears and learned to overcome them, speaking (in public, in meetings) may become a great source of pleasure!

Hi, I’m Maram! I teach Arabic to students of all ages and levels in Brussels. With 9 years of experience, I’ve worked with children, adults, and university students from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in both Classic Arabic and Levantine Arabic. Whether you already speak Classic Arabic or don’t speak Arabic at all, you can start learning Levantine Arabic with me! I’ve learned tricks that help you learn faster, and I love sharing them with my students. I speak more than five languages, so I know what it takes to master a new one!

My approach is very interactive and based on what works best for you. I use games, songs, and discussions to make learning feel natural, and I’ll always focus on your personal goals—whether it’s speaking fluently, passing an exam, or mastering the language for a special job.

So, if you’re ready to start, we’ll talk about how you learn best, and we’ll create a plan together that works for you.
And remember, learning Arabic isn’t just about words—it’s about culture, history, and politics. With me, you’ll get the full package!

Hello! My name is Francesco and I've been living in Belgium for seven years. I'm from Liguria (Italy) and I'm currently completing my PhD in philosophy at KU Leuven.

For the past few years, I've given private Italian lessons to people who wanted to learn the language for fun or professional reasons. I've also taught two courses at a CVO (Center for Vocational Education) in Aalst: one classical course on grammar and vocabulary, and a conversation course for more advanced students. Depending on your level, we can get to know each other better during the lessons, talk about our lives, hobbies, experiences—anything you like! We can also watch and discuss short videos together to improve your listening comprehension and vocabulary. And when needed, we can focus more specifically on grammar and sentence structure.

My Dutch isn't perfect, but I can easily use English or French if you don't (yet) speak Italian. We can discuss what works best for you. Feel free to leave a message if you're interested! See you soon! 🙂

Ciao folks!

If you want to learn Italian while making a new friend, you are in the right place! We can start from any level you would like and build from there - no matter the level, the aim should always be to reach a point where you feel natural expressing yourself even with basic knowledge and vocabulary.

We’ll work on real-life communication (conversation, pronunciation, and everyday expressions) while also covering grammar in a simple, practical way - as much as we can, Italian grammar can be a tough one, but bear with me.

You can learn at your own pace, and I’ll adapt the lessons to your interests - from travel and culture to professional Italian or exam preparation.

Classes are available online or in person, always in a friendly and encouraging environment :)

Is it easier to learn Italian or French? Italian or Portuguese? Italian or Swedish? Who knows! After starting to study my fifth language, I would love to have an answer... perhaps we will discover it together, by discussing in Italian, whether you are a beginner or at a more advanced level.

I would be delighted to organize learning sessions tailored to your objectives, if you have any, and your favorite subjects. I am passionate about urban planning, adventure books, theater, and olive oil, but I am also very curious and ready to prepare on your favorite topics.

I love beautiful grammar, but when learning a new language, my mantra is: "Language is a means of communication."

...and like true Italians, we will also learn to talk with our hands!
