Hello, my name is Javier. I am a guitarist, composer, sound technician, and music producer. I work professionally, especially in contemporary Jazz.

During more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, I have developed several methods and exercises for teaching guitar and music (songs, theory, composition, improvisation, harmony, etc.) for students of all levels and all ages. I have already had students from 6 years old to 74.

I believe that the most important thing is that the students manage to find the motivation to practice regularly with the pleasure of progressing.

Method:

The most common is the use of songs that the student chooses and takes advantage of this to work on more general concepts of music and the guitar which are important to acquire a solid base without bad habits.

For more advanced students the learning process is determined together by setting personal goals.

The teaching method is totally focused on the individual needs of each student.

Students with any level of knowledge in music (self-taught, beginners, advanced ...) are accepted.

Interview:

01
- Since when did you develop a passion for music and more particularly for your favorite instrument?

- I became interested in the guitar at the age of ten. I had a friend who played "Blackbird" music by The Beatles and I was fascinated. From there, I started to study and I continue to learn today.

02
- What music can you listen to on repeat with the same pleasure (and without going crazy)?

- Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

03
- Tell us about the most difficult or amazing lesson you have given!

- It would be a class where I have to explain the major and minor tonality and all its variants in one hour of class. But I will get there!

04
- In your opinion, what is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

- It was impossible to answer. Each person has different predispositions.
For me to play the piano at a high level would be complicated for the need for independence of the right and left hands. In this sense, the guitar is easier.

05
- What are, for you, the keys to success (apart from those of Sol and Fa)?

- Constance, it's always better to practice a little every day than a lot once in a while.
Patience, learning an instrument takes time. You have to learn to coordinate the body and the brain and take new paths from time to time.
And the most important :
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, to learn it is essential to make mistakes and this should not be a reason to stop practicing, on the contrary, it should be a motivation to improve.

06
- Name 3 musicians with whom you would dream of jamming in a bar at 2 a.m. and tell us why!

- Tigran Hamasyan, Reinier Baas, Avishai Cohen (bassist)

07
- An anecdote to tell in relation to your job or your schooling (and not necessarily the party you had after entering the Conservatory)?

- When I started giving lessons (I was 17), I had a 10-year-old student, when I suggested things to do, he looked me directly in the eye and said: No!
But with patience, after a while, I managed to make a connection with him and at the end of the 3 years he played the guitar very well and we became friends. Now he is more or less 25 years old.

08
- What is the little touch that makes you a special teacher adored by all his students?

- I am very patient and I always find the best way to explain to each student.

This class is for all music lovers. In the last 10 years, I have been teaching Piano to children with 3 years to young adults.

I am aiming to teach Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced musicians, willing to know more about:
Composition
Orchestration
Music Theory
Music History
Piano

I will work concerning the student's ambition.

short CV:
Bachelor in Composition at ESMAE, Porto, Portugal.
Master in Composition at Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.
Post-Graduate in Composition at Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.
Currently attending to PhD in the Arts - Composition at University of Antwerp and Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.

Classical guitar is one of the most beautiful and versatile instruments out there! You can play music from all styles and from all times. But learning to play the guitar is not something you do alone: you need someone who will guide you personally and help you discover what you can get out of your instrument. So do you dream of starting to make music yourself but don't know where to start? Or have you been playing for some time, but are you looking for a more personal approach in your lessons?
Then you've come to the right place!

I'm Warre and I've been playing classical guitar for over 16 years. A few years ago I decided to go for a life as a professional musician and enrolled at a conservatory. This year I completed my Master of Music at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven. I have been teaching guitar for several years now. I look forward to meeting my students every week. Few things are more fun than watching someone discover music and get so much fun out of it!

No prior musical knowledge is required. If you are a total beginner, we will start from scratch. And it's never too late to get started! Of course, more experienced players are also welcome for lessons that are completely tailored to your needs.

Lessons at my home in the center of Antwerp or online. Current availabilities valid until the end of August.

I am a professional violinist that will focus on your technique and musical abilities. Each lesson will be tailored for each student, creating an interesting and challenging program. For more advanced students, a more focused program can be discussed, such as preparing for auditions, exams, etc.

Besides teaching all the important aspects of piano playing, I would like to share my passion for music with my students and help them build a solid base in a fun and interactive way. Love for music is the first and most important step to fully enjoying the learning experience. Lessons are for everyone!

As jazz drummer I completed certificate programme for teaching in Istanbul then after I studied one year in the Netherlands currently I'm studying in Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Features and purpose of this course is mainly improving itself in different genres, the sense of rhythm or produce solutions for better technique on drums.
Starting point could be basics on drums or to be advanced on something specific depends on interest of person.

My name is Jorgina, I am dedicated to nurture a genuine love for music to children through personalized piano lessons.
I am Spanish Antwerp-based, I play violin and piano since the age of 6.
I help young musicians build their skills and confidence by focusing on creativity, independence and a fun learning experience.
My goal is to help each student fall in love with piano by adapting the lessons to their interests and needs ensuring an enjoyable first contact with the instrument.
I always propose a customized repertoire based on the student choice, from classical to modern music with the possibility to explore composition and music production in Ableton.
I can teach in English or in Spanish and I offer the lessons at my place or I can travel to my students location.

After completing my Bachelor's degree in violin at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, I did a year of Erasmus at the Robert Schumann Hochschule Düsseldorf, in Germany. From September, I will start my Master at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen.
Discovering new ways of learning is very important to me. I like to seize opportunities and meet inspiring musicians during Masterclasses in Belgium and abroad.
Perseverance and work, while respecting oneself, are for me the keys to long-term progress.
Learning music with kindness is the most important thing for me. I adapt to the needs and desires of each student, so that the process is personalized and motivating. Being able to pass on my passion enriches me enormously and allows me to acquire new skills as a musician.
I teach in French and English. I also have some German and I plan to learn Dutch this year.
