Piano Lessons for Beginner-Advanced Levels in Classical and Contemporary Styles
I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons to students of all levels. As a pianist 12 years of teaching experience and over 21 years of playing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the course of learning piano. If the student is interested in a more serious approach, I can also guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams. I also have successful experience preparing students for entrance to conservatory and for various competitions. Recently, my students have achieved highest marks in the ABRSM exams as well as prizes in competitions. We also have a class concert for interested students twice per year. I am happy working in both a relaxed and serious approach, we simply need to discuss the objectives of the student.
My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Piano Performance/Music from University of Minnesota and TCU-Fort Worth, TX, USA. My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as soloist with orchestra (also as harpist), and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio and look forward to meeting new students.

About Me
Music is my passion, and I love to share that passion with others, especially my students. I teach a variety of styles, although my own training is classical. Generally, I provide a personal approach that is curated to fit each student's specific needs and musical interests, providing pieces that suit each student's individual personality. With that in mind, I emphasize good technique and skills, so that the playing experience can be with a stable level of ease and enjoyment. I also enjoy discovering new pieces with my students, who are always free to bring in the repertoire (classical and contemporary) that sparks their curiosity.Education

Very good teacher that adapts to the specific needs of the student.
Zeer veel bijgeleerd op zeer korte tijd. Lydia geeft heel gerichte en heel onmiddellijk toepasbare informatie. ik kan al niet wachten naar onze volgende ontmoeting.
Great, knowledgeable teacher who was very patient with my daughter!
I had my first lesson today and I was immediately struck with the feeling that I am in the presence of a maestro in Piano playing, a professor in teaching and an extremely patient pedagogue. It was like Lydia knew me for years and instantaneously detected my strengths and my weaknesses in my piano playing and practice. I am an adult student and I highly recommend Lydia for all ages and all levels. An exceptional teacher that provides and exceptional lesson experience.
Excellent and fun teacher!

Guitar and Music Theory Lessons by a Qualified and Experienced Teacher
I specialize in teaching about Music and how to play the Guitar.
In class, I always make the effort of understanding what are the goals and interests of all students, as well as their own skills. This way we can address the issues at hand more effectively and make sure the student never loses his/her interest and focus in music and his/her instrument. I believe that an honest and friendly relationship between teacher and student is essential for this exchange of ideas to happen more clearly and fluently, and so I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable enough to share their own thoughts freely.
I offer good and personalized classes. This means that there will special care with your interest in music and guitar, all basic skills will be worked upon and strengthened, all specific requests and ideas will be addressed, both improvisation and interpretation can be developed and exploring potential, achieving goals and having fun are main priorities.
Come and enjoy learning more about Music and Guitar!!
Ruben
Piano lessons in Antwerp - Lessons of 1 hour per week.
Graduated from the Paris Conservatory (diplôme supérieur d'execution & diploma supérieur concertiste) with unanimity. Classic piano. Lessons of 1 hour per week.
Together we make a plan to work towards something. This can be a concert or a competition. If I think the level is good enough, I may be able to program you to play in one of my professional concert series in the Netherlands.
I was born in the Netherlands and currently live in Antwerp. At the moment I play about 50 concerts a year throughout Europe. I myself still follow classes with my teacher in Vienna, Paris or Barcelona.
I myself am still preparing for major competitions, concerts and festivals. During my bachelor studies I also followed a minor in education. My teaching technique is very focused on achieving results as effectively as possible. My goal is to let the student enjoy his or her own game.
We will bring out the best in you. With concrete exercises you will understand better and better how to study well at home. They are lessons you will remember for the rest of your life.

Piano classes for children and adult beginners (English and Spanish).
[English below] The course is aimed at children and adult beginners. I use an American method that my students have loved, which consists of a book with piano exercises, an activity book to reinforce music theory, and audios to practice at home. We also cover free pieces, which are scores that are not in the book, but that are chosen between me and the student, so that the student performs it in public: in front of family and friends. We can speak in Spanish and English and a bit of Dutch as I learn it.
I have 20 years of experience in music teaching. I am passionate about teaching! The most important thing for me is that the student manages to love music and that studying the piano is part of his life, regardless of whether he plans to dedicate himself to another activity.

Alexander
Professional piano education for everybody (anything you need).
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.

Individual music lessons/all categories/flute/piano
Lessons are individually and carefully adapted to student’s age, level, desired outcome.
From youngest students, to whom the music and playing the basics are served in a playful way based on making the music important part of their development to advanced students with whom we can refine all the musical details and prepare for professional careers.
Kapka
Piano lessons, theory, solfeggio, basic musical analysis

Asja
Private piano lessons for adults and children (all levels)
Students of all ages and levels can contact me to follow private piano lessons live in Antwerp, Beerzel or online through the camera (Zoom or Skype).
As a pianist and teacher, I have years of teaching experience at private and public schools throughout Croatia.
My main music education and training I got in Zagreb (Croatia) and Vienna (Austria). In 2020 I graduated in the discipline of the piano as 'Master in music' at the ‘Academy of Music’ in Zagreb.
I am familiar with performing the classical repertoire as well as modern 20th and 21st-century music. In 2020 I had been selected as a pianist to represent the composition of Belgian composer Gillis Sacré at a composition competition in Vienna.
In 2016 I took part in a euphony project and performed on a concert tour in Slovenia, Hungary, Austria and Croatia.
Later I further developed myself on numerous piano and chamber music masterclasses with pedagogues Ruben Dalibaltayan, Vera Vaidman, Andrea Padova, Ratko Delorko, Đuro Tikvica among others.
Between 2019 and 2022 I was connected as a professor at the ‘Ivan Matetić Ronjgov’ music school at the department on the island of Rab in Croatia.

Cello lessons and Conservatory preparation/Cellolessen en Conservatorium voorbereiding/Cours de violoncelle et préparation du conservatoire
Cello Lessons for all levels:
My main goal with my teaching is to share my passion for music with my students. I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello. Besides the discpline one learns, Music-making in itself is fulfilling!! :)
Conservatory Preparation:
In my experience as a musician living and working in Belgium for the past 6 years, I have noticed a gap in the musical education of young Belgian music students transitioning from Music academies into Conservatories. Oftentimes, these young music students seeking to enter conservatories do not possess the necessary skill level to enter higher education in Music. Through my private teaching, I intend to bridge this gap by catering specifically (though not exclusively) to these students. I strongly believe that there is a huge demand for this type of teaching which I am capable to provide.

Music - Violin and Piano Classes - Beginner to Intermediate
I have been learning the violin and piano since 5 years old, and am currently taking a bachelor in Music Performance in Violin, in the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp.
Students of any age are welcome, and I have special experience with beginner and younger students, having given a lot of lessons of piano and music theory.

The individual violin and piano lessons are personalized and tailored to the progress and learning ability of each student.

We will then continue to revise and enhance technique while taking on more challenging repertoire as they progress.
Lessons are stress-free and I always try to provide a safe and calm environment for an engaging and fun class!
Games for little kids are a absolute must!
