Lessons in piano, historical and modern cello, and harpsichord, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, coordination, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.

About Me
Playing on musical instruments is one of the most efficient methods for development of intelligence, discipline, concentration, sensitivity, expressibility, especially for the young. My teaching is for those, who want to develop these qualities. For more intermediate level of students I use the repertoire they play in practice to teach analysis of music, harmony, and also a historical perspective to the works they study, recognition of styles. I guide my students to self-analyse their playing, to define difficulties, and work out by themselves solutions - how to become with the time their own teachers.For the better progressing students, I organize small concerts.
Piano, harpsichord, modern cello, baroque cello, music theory (harmony).

I have just started cello as an adult learner. Boris is an excellent teacher for me. Introducing the fundamentals with patience and adapted to my capabilities. He is clear in his instructions and is very knowledgeable about the history of the cello.
I would recommend him as a teacher for novice adult learners.
Aangename, rustige en professionele pianoleraar. Mijn dochter is heel tevreden. Ze voelde zich meteen op haar gemak, wat haar liefde voor de piano nog meer heeft gevoed.
Boris weet goed waar hij mee bezig is, kan alles duidelijk uitleggen en geeft op een heel aangename manier les.

Knowing how to share your inspiration, your feelings, your emotions, all of this through the guitar?
This is what I offer you through my courses! It will be a question of laying the foundations via basic elements such as the work of open chords, scales, but also playing expressions, the development of musical ear and gradually going into the depth of certain styles such as blues, funk , jazz, bossa nova, pop, rock to dissect other elements enriching guitar playing.
Whether you have no experience or only a few days, weeks or even months of practice, I will accompany you step by step, taking into account your level, the objective pursued while having fun!

Solfège all levels / Musical Theory all levels admited
[ENGLISH, SEE BELOW]
A music theory course for anyone who wants to start with a solid foundation in music, or for an already advanced musician who wants to go further. This course is also perfect for an academy or conservatory student who wishes to prepare for the music theory exam.
Despite the fact that this is a so-called theoretical course, everything that is seen will first be worked on in a musical context and experienced by the student in order to be assimilated. The theoretical explanations will follow from it by itself.
On the program (student's choice)
- Ear training (knowing how to rewrite melodies with one or more voices, chords, etc.)
- Note readings in one or more keys
- Rhythm readings, polyrhythmic work
- Encryption and recognition of agreements,
- Transposition.
This musical theory lesson suits to every level, from the one who wants to learn how to read music to the one who wants to know more about chords, transposition or polyrythms. This lesson is also perfect for a student who wants to prepare an examination.
In despite the fact I called these lesson "Musical theory", it is firstly about understanding the music. And that can only be possible by ... doing music. So be aware that we will be singing, playing chords, clapping rhythms, ... My purpose is that the student understand by himself first, then the theory will come naturally.
What we can do during a lesson (student can choose):
- Ear training (Learn to catch a melody of one or several voices and write it down by ear, recognizing chords, recognizing rhythms, ...)
- Rythmical work: learn to clap different rhythms in different time signatures. Also included polyrythms.
- Key reading, in one or several keys.
- Transposition (learn how to read a flute sheet while you're playing trumpet, ..)

App
Private course of Piano/Composition/Computer Music with AppMuse
< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano >
Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognise that :
'' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". ''
The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym.
< Music is like cooking >
When we cook, to make a roast beaf tender, of course it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beaf won’t become tender merely by our tender heart.
By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling.
To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, notes we write.
< Difference between an audience and a musician >
There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey.
The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavour to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience.
< Course Content >
I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects which are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more.
In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”.
< Duration >
For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems.
< Recording >
I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections.
Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals.
If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

Gabriele
Violin and chamber music classes for beginner/intermediate
During my training, I had the opportunity to study with famous teachers with whom I was able to discover different violin techniques and different pedagogical approaches, which allowed me to create my own methodology. If Italy gave me the passion of sharing and communication (a typical Italian characteristic), Belgium taught me to convey a message, an idea in a concrete way. My meeting with Mr Lawson also made me aware of the importance in the life of an artist to share his knowledge, and teaching is for me the best way to put this sharing into practice.

Experienced music teacher offers recorder lessons and musical theory for children and adults of all ages and levels!
Originally from Brazil, I have been teaching music for several years. Graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, I have experience as a music teacher giving private lessons and teaching in Music Academies in Belgium and elsewhere. I develop a unique method for each student in a way that he or she can learn in a solid and fun way.
Because it is an easy instrument to produce a sound, the recorder is a good opportunity for children to get started in the world of music. This is already a first contact with musical notation and the development of the ear. I offer the student a fun and dynamic practice where they can play music from the very first lesson.
For adults... If you are a beginner, don't worry! I teach you how to make the first sounds on your new instrument, how to blow correctly, how to hold a good posture... and create, step by step, a solid basic technique that will help you to play any piece on the flute.
If you are an advanced student or who already have the fundamental knowledge of your instrument, I suggest an improvement of the technique adapted to each repertoire. We will exploit creativity and sound in order to make musical discourse more and more beautiful and eloquent.
Lessons can take place at the student's or the teacher's in Schaerbeek. Travel costs are negotiable depending on the distance.
