About Me

Music has been a common thread in my life since I was a child.

It all started playfully, with Music Jam on the PlayStation 2. What was then a hobby quickly grew into a deep passion. From the age of 16, I fully immersed myself in the world of music production and started making beats in Ableton. Year after year, I built up experience by experimenting, failing, learning, and, above all, creating a lot.

That curiosity and drive eventually led me to professional training. I enrolled in the Music Producer program at the Audiovisuals Academy, where I further refined my technical knowledge, workflow, and creative skills.

Now, at 33, I not only have many years of practical experience under my belt, but also a broad understanding of everything that music production entails: from sound design to mixing, and from arranging to finishing complete tracks.

Today I want to share that knowledge. Why?
Because I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to start, and how valuable it is when someone shows you the right direction. I've always believed that creativity grows when you receive guidance from someone who has traveled the path themselves. That's why I teach: to help others progress faster, make better music, and discover their own style.

My goal is simple: to guide you into a fully-fledged, confident music producer with a strong workflow, knowledge of Ableton, and a distinctive sound. I teach in a personalized, clear, and practical way—no dry theory, but real production skills you can immediately apply to your own tracks.

If you want to learn how to produce, mix, think creatively, or finally finish your first full track, I'd be happy to help.

I am a student of music production at the Royal Conservatory, with extensive knowledge of music theory covering everything from harmony to rhythm. As an experienced tutor, my goal is to teach this subject as it serves as a powerful tool for playing, interpreting, and composing music.

I offer private singing lessons in Ghent with piano or guitar accompaniment. Knowledge of music theory isn't necessary; a desire to sing and work is all it takes! We'll focus on warming up, technique, and intention, but the joy of singing is always paramount. I can also teach you how to accompany yourself on guitar or piano while singing. Besides singing, we can also focus on songwriting, and I can guide you through the writing process and offer creative writing exercises.

For me, singing and writing music are the most rewarding things there is, and I'd love to help you discover your own voice. I have 13 years of experience as a professional singer (Sophia plays Leonard Cohen, Ansatz der Maschine, Little Dots) and 8 years of experience as a voice teacher. I also have extensive experience in music education with young children and organized music camps for children aged 4-9 for a while.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or would like to work together!

As a piano teacher, I possess a strong musical ear, extensive piano skills, and a broad knowledge of music and music theory. Thanks to my experience as a music teacher, I can guide students in their musical development in a clear, structured, and inspiring way. I am fluent in sight-reading and can quickly analyze and explain music, which helps me support students efficiently and purposefully during their learning process.

In my lessons, I combine technical development with musical understanding and expression. Patience, clear communication, and a positive learning environment are essential to me. Every student is different, which is why I use a personal approach that pays attention to the pace, level, and goals of each student. My strong motivational skills help students gain confidence in their playing and continue to enjoy learning music.

An important part of my work as a piano teacher is recognizing my students' strengths and weaknesses. By observing and listening carefully, I can provide targeted advice and adapt exercises so that students develop step by step. I help them improve their technique, deepen their musicality, and strengthen their confidence on the instrument.

The primary task in my piano lessons is to motivate students and make them enthusiastic about playing the piano. I want students not only to learn to play, but also to develop a true love for music. Therefore, I pay attention to technical skills as well as musical interpretation and listening skills.

During the lessons, I work systematically on the development of hand and finger technique. This is done through targeted exercises such as scales, arpeggios, chord structures, and other technical exercises that help build flexibility, strength, and control in the fingers. Additionally, I guide students in reading sheet music correctly, understanding rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and musical expression.

I also develop and use adapted teaching materials and exercises that match the student's level and progress. By regularly reviewing and adjusting the exercises and techniques, I ensure that students build a solid technical and musical foundation.

In addition to learning to play existing pieces, I also focus on understanding music. Therefore, students in my lessons are also introduced to elements of music theory, so that they better understand how music is structured. This helps them practice more independently, learn new music faster, and develop a deeper insight into music.

My goal as a piano teacher is to create an inspiring learning environment in which students can develop musically, discover their creativity, and grow step by step as musicians. Playing the piano is not only a technical skill but also an art form through which people can express emotions, ideas, and stories. Therefore, in my lessons, I always try to connect technique, knowledge, and musical experience.

I'd love to help you on your way to take your singing techniques to a higher level. We'll get started with your favorite songs. By default, the focus is on breathing, sound placement and expanding vocal range. But we can deviate from this path to suit your specific desires.

I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

Do you want to learn to write, record or produce your own music? Or are you interested in sound design? Then I can help you further!
Music production and recording technology may seem complicated at first glance, but in our 1-on-1 private lessons we can discuss the creative and technical tools you need to unleash your own creativity.

Whether it's songwriting, recording techniques or beat making, we can do it all together. All genres are welcome.
During the lessons we can learn to work with different programs, such as Logic, Pro Tools or Ableton.
The lessons are for students of all ages and levels. Knowledge of solfège is not required.

I studied guitar and music production at the Conservatory in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 12 years of experience as a private teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.

Does this seem like something for you?

Hope to see you soon!

I am Jess, a musician and producer from Ghent, graduated as a bachelor in music at PXL Hasselt. In the meantime I have been teaching guitar for 10 years at music studios and in the form of private lessons at home. Besides teaching I have my own project called Monagi and I write/produce for bands like Tout Va Bien and Patches. I also play guitar at TheShadow Machine. All my lessons take place in a relaxed atmosphere in my music studio in Ghent at your own pace.

For beginners: During our guitar lesson you can bring your own songs that you want to work on or together we will see what the best songs are for you and what you can learn the most from. This ranges from the basic chords that make up most pop / rock songs to playing along with the melody or accompanying yourself while singing. So you can play what you always dreamed of in no time!

For advanced users: Together we look at what you want to work on in terms of rhythm, soloing or improvisation. Which styles you are familiar with or which you would like to learn to play. These lessons are ideal for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of the guitar or if it feels like you've reached a plateau you can't get past.

Modular synthesis is the place to be when it comes to new electronic music technologies. The cool thing about working with eurorack (modular synthesis) is that you can build your own electronic music system as you go. In this series of lessons you will learn the ins and outs of a number of essential Eurorack modules, VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, etc., and you will get started with them. You don't have to pay anything at all, because VCV rack, a software program, is free.

Whether you are starting to create your own beats or struggling to write a song, I will help you reach the next level you personally need. With a solid base of music education, I can help you express yourself through your music.

I can get very technical if you need to, but I will also help you navigate the creative process and arrive to a place that works for you.

Would you like to learn more about the songwriting process? How do I start a song? What are some common pitfalls? I'm your guy! :) As a producer, I've worked with quite a few genres, so I'm very flexible in that respect.

Have you ever listened to a song or a piece of music you like and thought: "How does this work? Can I do this myself? How do I even start?"
If so, I'd be glad to help you get started on your own music.
I'll show you around the world of composition and music theory, and help you master concepts like chord progressions, the circle of fifths, melody and scales, tension and release, instrumentation, and much more. With the help of a few useful guidelines, we'll discover what kind of music you want to make, and set out on making it.
I'm on my second year bachelors in music composition (specialized in contemporary classical and music for film and videogames), the conductor of a local choir and enjoyer of a wide variety of genres and styles, and I look forward to help you hone your creative spirit!

My name is Andre. I'm a professional musician with more than 10 years in the field. Despite Jazz being the main focus of my study and practice I've learned to love all genres and absorb each unique values and strengths. Having them integrated in the musical projects I've created or participated on. Projects which revolve around Jazz, Pop, Rock, Psychedelic, Electronic and Reggae.
Throughout my professional career I've worked with music schools and private students (+200). During this years I've encountered a plethora of different kinds of students, all levels ranging from kids to seniors and even a good quantity of autistic or down syndrome students, which always made me more and more interested in the art of teaching and helping people grow, by balancing challenge and empathy.

My lessons are characterized by a practical approach combined with a theoretical component, that always caters to the student's interests, stimulating their musical taste and creativity. For this, I like to go across the board with disciplines such as:
Musical Theory
Technique
Ear training
Performance
Composition
Improvisation
Band/project guidance
Study methodoly
Reportoire

My main objectives as a mentor are:

- To captivate students with music and their learning process

- To stimulate healthy learning methods based on their own goals

- To develop the spirit and discipline of self-learning.

Frequency, duration, and format depend on each student's goals.

Sarshar

Sarshar (b. 1999) (Master's in classical music piano - composition) is a concert pianist and composer born in Tehran and educated at the conservatories of Budapest, Vienna, and Ghent. Known for his original compositions and distinctive interpretations of composers such as Chopin, Debussy, Beethoven, Liszt, and Bartók, he combines a strong classical foundation with a deeply personal musical voice.

He has studied classical piano with internationally renowned pianists and has performed across Europe, including concerts in Paris, Copenhagen, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Belgium. His performances include appearances at the Polish Institute in Paris — where Chopin himself performed in the 19th century — and at the Antonin Palace in Poland, the UNESCO World Heritage site where Chopin gave concerts during his lifetime. He has also performed for the Belgian Royal Family, Queen Mathilde and King Philippe and collaborated with internationally acclaimed artists such as Alexander Vantournhout.

Sarshar is the laureate of multiple international piano competitions across Europe, China, and North America. Alongside his concert career, he composes music for film, theater, and dance productions, creating works that combine structural clarity with emotional depth and reflection.

As a teacher, he focuses not only on piano technique and musicality, but also on helping students develop their own artistic identity, confidence, and connection to music. He also integrates harmony into his piano teaching to help students better understand musical structure and build a deeper, more meaningful connection to the music they play. Lessons are available in English, Dutch, and Farsi for beginners, advanced students, and aspiring professionals..
I teach with different methods depending the person’s age, and personality.
