About Me
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Each student has their own pace and sensitivity, and I am committed to creating tailor-made lessons that fit their needs and personality—whether in music or languages, from beginner to intermediate level.I place great importance on the fun and creative aspect of learning: quizzes, word games, visual diagrams, interactive activities... So many tools to stimulate memory, concentration and above all, the pleasure of learning.
I ensure that my classes are spaces for listening and growth, where everyone can progress at their own pace, in a supportive environment. I am comfortable teaching in both French and English, and I am always open to new ideas and approaches.
My goal: to help my students gain autonomy, confidence, and to (re)discover the joy of learning, quite simply.

Very good first lesson!
Narindra is a very nice young lady who is sharing her passion for music by teaching. She is currently a student and is using her knowledge to help others. She is young, enthusiastic, respectful, and knowledgeable.
Even though music is universal, specific terms and method learning differ from one culture and another one. This is why I propose some individual courses of music and piano for people curions about discovering or maybe improving their artistic skills in the language of Moliere.
At the beginning of the lesson, the student will be trained by some theory, not the best part for most people. But with the help of mnemotechnic methods, those basics won't have a secret for him/her anymore ;)
Then, I will adapt the pratical part depending on the student's level...and will of course ;) He/She can bring the music piece he would like to play.
Mastering the language of Molière, both beautiful and complex, is not easy even for native speakers.
This is why I offer French as a foreign language courses that are more focused on oral practice, but always coupled with a theoretical basis. I adapt to the pace and preferences of each person, on the topic of conversation that interests them.
For beginners, I suggest starting with everyday vocabulary, expressions of standard French and/or specific to the country.
For the more advanced, we can start discussions on a subject that fascinates them from their language to French.
Let's speak English with passion... and efficiency!
🕐 First session: Discovery & objectives
During our first lesson, I take the time to get to know you:
➡️ Your level,
➡️ Your desires,
➡️ Your goals (academic, professional, travel, passion, etc.).
This will allow us to develop a tailor-made work plan that suits you 😊
🎯 Method: English through living practice
Rather than starting with dry theory, I propose an active and concrete approach:
💬 Free or targeted conversations,
🎭 Pronunciation exercises,
🎲 Fun games on Anglo-Saxon language and culture,
🎧 Role-playing or simulations (depending on your level).
The goal? To make you speak with pleasure, confidence, and naturally.
✍️ What if you like grammar or writing?
We can of course deepen the writing by:
📚 translations of book excerpts,
📝 typical sentences and key structures,
✒️ or even your own writings if you have any.
🌈 A lively, motivating and human learning experience
I firmly believe that we learn best when we talk about topics we're passionate about. So come as you are, with your tastes, your interests, your world.

Piano lessons for children who are at beginner level

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
Piano lessons for all levels and ages
A conservatory graduate and music theory teacher gives piano lessons.
All styles combined (classical, rock, accompaniment piano, etc.)
Method suitable for the little ones 4-5 years old
First course without obligation.
Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.
I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.
My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.
Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.
A bit about me:
Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.
