About Me
I am a Spanish composer, teacher, and artistic project manager resident in The Hague (Netherlands). I am interested in the application of visual and/or verbal codes to music composition. I am the co-organizer of "Nameless Elegy" a collaborative multimedia project with lighting, poetry, and music to be performed next spring in The Hague and Madrid.My experience does not end in concert music. I have worked for the video-game start-up "Blade Games" and composed soundtracks for shorts. I am conducting research about applying cognitive principles to music creation for building communicative bridges between the composer and the audience.
Education
I am a second-year student of the Master's in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of music in The Hague (Netherlands). I earned a Bachelor's degree in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Music in Madrid (Spain) in 2021. Previously I learned viola and piano at the Cristobal de Morales Conservatoire in Sevilla (Spain).Experience / Qualifications
I have five years of experience in private music teaching. I have taught students from basic to undergraduate levels. I have experience working with teenagers, young adults and adults, and senior students. My lessons are adapted to the student's interests and goals.No matter what your interests in music are, understanding the fundaments of music will help you grow faster and higher. Do you feel you miss some core knowledge and that holds you down in your learning? Or maybe you know already the fundaments but want to go one step further? Whatever your case is, I am ready to help you uncover the internal functionings of music and build solid musicianship.
If you play an instrument, bring it to the class. Learning theory through practice is a rewarding and effective path to understanding abstract concepts. By learning music theory through your playing, you get both a deeper understanding of music and better performing skills.
Don't wait anymore to work out your music skills and become the best of yourself!

Rui
Piano and Music Theory lessons in The Hague and VoorburgHello there!
Welcome to my profile. I am Rui and I teach piano. The piano is known as the most complete musical instrument of all. This is because when playing it we can get all kinds of characters and sounds: very deep basses or super soft high notes; delicate melodies or dense harmonies (almost like an orchestra sometimes). This is one of the reasons why I love to play the piano, its versatility adapts to my everyday mood.
I would love to show you the wonders we can create with this amazing instrument!
Lessons
Every student is different, and by saying this I mean that I prepare every lesson specifically for each student. Some might be more shy, others might need more time to acknowledge some questions.
I believe that music (much like everything else) should be taught with patience and motivation.
You shouldn’t feel like you’re going against time, it should be the opposite. As a teacher, I always give priority to your motivation and excitement regarding the lesson’s activity. If I see that a student is not enjoying the lesson I have to improvise and turn it around.
When teaching, the most important thing for me is that you learn while having fun.
I have already some years of experience in giving piano lessons to people of all ages. I adapt the lesson content for every student individually, and I always give them the freedom to follow their musical taste and instincts. I also give a lot of focus to creativity and improvisation.
At the end of the lesson, I usually save a few minutes for the student to decide what he/she wants to do: maybe a little 4-hand improvisation, or maybe play a piece they have already learned and that they enjoy playing.
About me
Most of my studies and experience as a teacher took place in Portugal. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance in 2020.
I moved to The Netherlands in 2020 to attend the Master Program in Classical Piano Performance in the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
My academic studies were built on classical music but I also have some experience in pop and rock music.
I hope this motivates you to study piano with me! Looking forward to seeing you soon during your first lesson!

Lydia
Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, 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 learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.
My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, 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 in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.
