About Me

Music has been with me since I can remember. As a child it was mainly classical music, as a teenager it was musical, punk rock and visual kei from Japan. Today I find a variety of genres from all over the world exciting. At the moment it's mostly No Wave, Dark Wave and Dark Rock, but also C-Pop from China.
Since my music studies, I have also been interested in popular music research, especially in the field of metal music studies.

It is important to me that my students find their own authentic way of expressing themselves in their singing. When we sing we always tell a story. A well-fitting technique is a kind of tool case that contains a wide range of expressive options.

Rock/Pop Singing - From Basic Breathing Technique to The Interpretation of Your Favourite Songs

75.12 $ /h

Singing is your passion and you wanna build up your skill? You feel at home with genres within pop and/or rock music? Then I'm your teacher!

My classes will be designed to fit in with your current level, your preferences in terms of style and/or skill as well as your goals. Each class starts with a short warm up consisting of breathing exercises, a check of your body posture and singing exercises. Then we'll work on the songs you wanna sing. The technique I'm gonna teach you is based on speech level singing.

About me: I'm about to finish my music studies with a bachelor diploma in singing at Jam Music Lab Privat University for Jazz and Popular Music Vienna and I've been singing for over 10 years now. Last time I was live on stage was with the 80's tribute "Shake Me" at Simm City Wien and local Wien in 2020. Right now I'm arranging my own songs from my dark wave and dark rock influenced band project "Vampy Pop" to make them ready for recording in the studio.

Hello and welcome to my music studio! It is absolutely fabulous that you are interested in music, and I hope you have lots and lots of fun with it! However, diving into the wonders of the piano/keyboard can be a bit overwhelming... and that is where I come in!
This course is for anyone from complete beginners to advanced students, from lessons that focus completely on classical music to lessons that include or focus on the basics of jazz/pop. If you like to sing, we can also work on the basics of jazz/pop vocal, so you can learn to accompany yourself at the piano.
In our lessons, technique will be an inherent part of the training, as well as analysis, basic music theory, and efficient ways of practicing music. If that all sounds good to you, then please reach out to me and we can start ASAP!
Lessons can be in English or Dutch.

So who am I?
In a nutshell, I am a professional pianist, vocalist, lyricist and blogger. Since 2014, I have taught in various music schools, teaching piano, ensemble, jazz vocal, and solfege.
On a more elaborate note, I obtained my Master of Arts in classical piano, summa cum laude, at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent (KASK) in 2017, and studied as a Fulbrighter at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington USA during the 2019-2020 academic year.
Every day, I strive to become a better musician and person, and I aim to transfer that passion to my students.

Practical, structured piano lessons for children, teenagers and adults — from first notes to advanced repertoire.

We’ll work on:

healthy technique, sound and musical phrasing

reading skills (sight-reading), rhythm and coordination

music theory and ear training (as needed)

efficient practice habits and clear weekly goals

exam preparation (ABRSM / Trinity), auditions and performance confidence

Lessons can be classical-focused, mixed-style, or aimed at specific short-term goals (a piece, an exam, an audition, a recital). I can also help with collaboration skills for singers/instrumentalists and accompaniment preparation.

My lessons are especially for you if you want to achieve freedom and ease at the piano.

As a composer, I develop my ideas through improvisation at the piano, which, trained through technique and knowledge, allows for a free discovery of one's own music.
So you not only learn to play your favorite songs, but also to understand them and to come up with similar ones yourself.

The lessons are completely flexible, and the focus is on fun and discovery. We can learn to play from sheet music or by ear. We can include harmony, rhythm, and ear training – whatever you prefer.

It is also possible to focus on only one of these areas if you want to prepare for an entrance exam or something similar [rhythm and ear training].

Want to speak Russian confidently but feel stuck? This course is designed for learners who already know basic Russian (A2 level or higher) but need real conversation practice.

This is not a traditional lesson. This is a 1-on-1 Russian conversation session with a native speaker, focused on helping you speak naturally and fluently.

During each session, you will:
- practice speaking Russian in real-life situations
- improve your fluency and confidence
- learn to express your thoughts more naturally
- receive gentle corrections without pressure

You can choose your preferred format:

💬 Free conversation
Talk about everyday topics such as lifestyle, travel, work, or hobbies.

🎯 Topic-based conversation
Practice specific situations, for example:
- ordering food in a restaurant
- traveling and airports
- meeting new people and small talk
- workplace communication
- daily life situations

After each session you will receive:
- key corrections
- useful phrases and expressions
- relevant vocabulary from the session

This course is suitable for A2, B1, and B2 learners. You should already be able to:
- understand basic conversations
- form simple sentences
- communicate at a basic level

The session is conducted mainly in Russian. English support is available if needed, so you never feel stuck.

This course is ideal if you:
- want to improve your spoken Russian
- understand Russian but cannot speak confidently
- want real conversation practice with a native speaker
- prefer speaking over grammar exercises
Important! This is not a grammar-focused course. The main goal is to help you start speaking Russian confidently and naturally.
