Piano lessons (Classical and Pop) for all ages

From 60 $ /h

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano, but you have no idea how? I would be happy to help you in a unique way!
I am Mike, a professional pianist specialized in classical music. I obtained a master's degree in classical piano and a master's degree in chamber music from LUCA school of arts in Leuven. I have been passionately teaching young and old for several years now. In addition, I still invest time in studying new works and techniques. That is why I am still very active in performing as a musician. I am convinced that this increases the quality of teaching.

My vision as a teacher is that everyone is different and everyone deserves their own personal lesson plan. By drawing up an individual lesson plan for each student, I have experienced that the fastest result is achieved. Whether you have a lot of time or a little time, are young or old or just love Bach, Einaudi or Elton John, my goal is to find a suitable plan for you.

In my classes we create together:
- a lesson rhythm that suits you best
- the ability to fluently read notes and/or letter chords
- a strong technical base
- an efficient study method
- a very broad musical development

Still in doubt? Don't hesitate to send me a message for more information!

About Me

I am Mike, a professionally pianist, specialized in classical music. I have a Masters's degree in classical piano and a master's degree in chamber music. Both of those degrees I have achieved in Luca School of Arts in Leuven. For some years now, I teach kids, young adults, and adults how to play the piano. Besides that I still invest a lot of time in practicing the piano myself. In that way, I can still perform as much as I nowadays do with my chamber music groups.

Education

I have achieved my Master degrees in classical piano playing and chamber music in Luca School of Arts in Leuven. There I have had my piano lessons from Joop Celis and later on also from Paul Hermsen.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over 17 years of experience in piano playing. Besides my specialisation in classical music, I also have a very broad knowledge of Popmusic. I can read and play every note and chord there is to play on the piano.

Master Ed gives tailor-made individual music lessons in a relaxed atmosphere. This can be done in his workspace in Antwerp or at your home if you live within a radius of 2 km from Antwerp Central Station.

All levels and all ages are welcome, including absolute beginners!

Master Ed is structured, but flexible: he personally guides you in your style (from rock to classical to improvisation) with the approach that suits you best. You don't have to come to class every week, or even on the same day.

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.

Ever since I was little, I was passionate about music. I have been playing the piano for 10 years and have given several concerts.

Those who want to learn the piano, I adapt my course according to your preferences and tastes. If you don't know how to read the notes or you've never done music theory, that doesn't cause a problem. The most important thing in music is to have fun. I can teach you several genres of music such as classical music, jazz, film music, pop...

I give piano and music theory lessons, combined or separately. My method is fun and is based on practice and singing, from which come understanding, reading (drawings for young children) and analysis. I work with children from the age of 3 to 4 and without age limit. I emphasize the pleasure of playing, discovering, listening, repeating ... I also work with dyslexic students, learning music through singing and playing an instrument, helps the child to develop a working method, a technique that allows him to overcome the difficulties of his dyslexia. I also work with retired people to allow them to keep a lively mind and to stay on track. Welcome to my home or yours in case of impediment.

Do you want to learn how to produce professional tracks yourself? Or do you want to improve your mixing, mastering, or synthesizer skills? Whether you are taking your first steps or want to take your productions to the next level, I am happy to help you.

During the lessons, we work entirely at your pace and start from your musical goals. We can work on, among other things:

- music production from A to Z;
- mixing and mastering;
- sound design and synthesizers;
- arrangement and workflow;
- recording and production techniques;
- finishing your own songs.

You can work in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, GarageBand, or another DAW you are familiar with.

I studied Electronic Music Production at Point Blank Music School and have also been producing my own music for years. I combine that practical experience with a personal approach, emphasizing applicable techniques that you can immediately use in your own productions.

Lessons preferably last 60 minutes, so that there is sufficient time to cover both theory and practice.

The lessons can take place in Haacht, on location in the Leuven region, or online.

Interested? Feel free to send a message, and we can discuss together how we can achieve your musical goals.

French student who just moved to Antwerp, I've been giving lessons for years in France and it was such a pleasure, that I want to experience it here again. Specialized in Romanticism/Modern, I also improvise.

I can teach the good habits as a pianist to never hurt yourself and to quickly develop a good technique and musicality: Position, gesture, and practice tools.

I also love to link the pieces with images, paintings, and movies, to create a whole connected world of senses and art.

In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.

At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.

During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.
It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect.

Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation.
Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best.

As a teacher I am familiar with different styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
There is also the option to work from improvisations.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.
