Graduated with a Master's degree in clarinet from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, a Didactic Master's degree in clarinet and a didactic master's degree in musical training at the Royal Conservatory of Mons, I propose to give you lessons at all levels of clarinet and/or musical training. I also offer piano lessons to beginner students.
I am available every day and move to your home at your convenience.
Depending on the level and age of the students, the duration of my classes vary between 30 minutes, 1 hour and 1 hour 30 minutes.

I am a professional clarinetist graduated with distinction at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels (Master Degree in Clarinet) and holding a Bachelor Diploma from the Music Conservatory of Valencia (Spain). Currently I am studying for a Master's Degree in Bass Clarinet, so we can combine both instruments in my lessons.

I teach students of all ages and levels. In my lessons I help the students to find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body use, enabling them to connect with their musical imagination. The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes.

On top of playing, I can also offer lessons on harmony, form analysis and counterpoint that focus on understanding the structure of music. My lessons will already include many different aspects of the music being taught but there is the option of focusing the theoretical or the practical.

i am looking forward to teaching you music!

SPECIALISED IN TEACHING ADULTS.
Would you like to learn one of the instruments which have more style possibilities? Would you like to know why many composers say that is a very powerful instrument because it fits in may situations? Did you know that in the Klezmer history clarinet substituted the violin for projection reasons but also because perfectly able to imitate the human voice, crying or laughing? Would you like to discover the fascinating world of clarinet?

One of my priorities as a musician is the sound. I believe that with a beautiful and personal sound you are able at every level to transmit emotion and meaning, it doesn’t matter the difficulty or the level. So I try to focus first on awareness of what’s beautiful for the student and what’s not. Then through technique and repertoire (suggestions of the student or suggestions of mine that can help to grow the student curiosity), we develop the student knowledge.

Always helping the student to understand -depending on his/her the theoretical level- what we are doing, putting together music and theory. And giving tools to expand the border, at all levels. I have knowledge and experience in Jazz, Classical, Klezmer, Choro Music and Improvisation.
You just need a precious element!

• Music Theory
I focus on having a good basics, spending as much as we need to understand every single thing, because then with times it becomes more easy. I try to help the student simplifying the material because then, we only with ourselves with a good procedure of the basics to solve any problem. Only with one lesson, you will understand what I mean.

I have experience in preparing students for exams, the ones for the semester as well as any official exam; doesn't matter if you have an intermediate theory level and you want to improve, or if you would like to be stronger solidifying the knowledge you have (which is always the best option), or if you don’t know anything about notes and music concepts and you would like to be familiar with them. Maybe you are an adult who always wanted to improvise but doesn’t know where to start...?
The only thing you need is a good organization -which I can provide- to reach any goal!

Besides my career as a freelance clarinetist giving concerts in Belgium and abroad, I have more than 30 years of experience in teaching music. Where I supervise students from 6 years old. To learn the basics, I recommend looking for a clarinet teacher who can guide you in an academy or privately. If you have mastered the basics, or have finished training, I would like to guide you in interpreting the repertoire, or to deal with specific problems such as respiratory problems, staccato, mouthpiece, etc.

I followed a classical training for 13 years in clarinet and in lyrical singing for 5 years. I recently finished a 5-year training at the Paris Conservatory as a singer in contemporary music and I am now graduated from this training (jazz, soul, rnb, metal, rock, musical comedy, French song ...). This year I entered a Master of Music and Performance in London.
I move without problem and listen to the demand for songs to work.

Do you want to have fun learning how to play the most beautiful instrument in the world or improve your skills with it? I'd be delighted to do it with you! I'm a classical clarinetist, I have two masters (recently graduated at Codarts) and different experience in orchestra, chamber music and teaching! My goal as a teacher is to stimulate the student to study in order to be at the disposal of music and not a passive player as can happen many times when you undertake a new study. That is why I like to play with my students and organize little private concerts and try-out.
Concerning the music theory lessons, I am not going to bore you with long and incomprehensible explanations! We will study it in a fun and effective way! I've been studying music since I'm five years old and I started with the Kodaly method that made me approach music in a very natural way! I hope to see you soon!

Hello,

I am a professional clarinetist and saxophonist, with classical (DEM) and jazz (DEM) training.

I played for 12 years in CARAVAN PALACE.

I give lessons in Montpellier and 30 minutes around, when I am not in concert with my swing jazz and choro groups.

All styles.
Classical, Jazz, Klezmer. My favorite styles at the moment are gypsy jazz and choro (Brazilian music).

I have been giving lessons for more than 20 years, both to beginners and to experienced people, young and old, even very old!!

I personify the study of the instrument and teach music theory and harmony in addition.

It is above all the pupil who decides on his needs.

Passion for music, perseverance and time (in every sense of the word) are pillars in musical learning.

I travel to my home and also give and teach at home in Montpellier, plan of the 4 lords

Hi dear Clarinetists,

I'm a young clarinetist who participates in International Competitions all over the world as well as I'm the academist of BELGIAN NATIONAL ORCHESTRA and LA MONNAIE DE MUNT.
Playing music, especially the clarinet really changed my life. It's an amazing feeling when I create my music and that's the goal I would like to achieve with the students, inspire them. My own teaching method is based on being full of energy, and passion and adjusting my knowledge in every situation!

Clarinet lessons at all levels: from absolute beginners to advanced players.
For me as a teacher it is very important to start from the wishes, needs and competences of the student himself.
You can follow lessons via webcam, or at your home near the Ghent - Kortrijk region.
If you don't have an instrument available, you can rent one from me. This offer is limited, so please inquire if you're interested.
Regarding music and other material: that is taken by me.

I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level.
In my lessons, I help students find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of auditory skills, a sense of rhythm and optimal use of the body, allowing them to connect with their musical imagination.
Lessons are tailored to the needs and desires of each student.
The most important thing is that we have a good time!

I've been teaching saxophone and flute for about 30 years. I studied in Paris and New York with some of the greatest saxophonists, including the great master Barry Harris. Over time, I've developed a pleasant and effective method. I also teach the Alexander Technique, a very effective tool for learning to play with minimal effort.
I teach classes for all levels and styles, although I specialize in teaching jazz improvisation.

Want to get more out of your clarinet lessons? My coaching is designed to complement (or restart) your regular lessons with your professional clarinet teacher. I can practice with you during your lessons, offer tips on studying and playing, give you extra practice and playing time, and take time to work on breathing and tone, scales and technical exercises, help you choose reeds for beginners, repertoire, and more.
These extra practice sessions will help you progress faster during your lessons with a professional clarinet teacher.
