Piano lessons given by an Antwerp's Conservatory Master's Student

Do you want to learn how to play piano? Do you want to have music in your own hands? In this class, you can learn how to play this beautiful instrument as well as develop your technique and musicality. You will also learn and develop music theory knowledge, for instance, reading scores, basic harmony, and rhythm.

I have 20 years of experience playing the piano and I love to share my knowledge and love for the instrument! I am a classically trained pianist that is now studying composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. As a pianist, I worked as a private teacher, and as an accompanist. I am familiar with classical repertoire as well as music from the 20th and 21st-century. If you prefer Pop, Folk, Jazz, or another style, the classes can also be focused on those styles of music.

If you have a specific kind of repertoire or piece in mind we will work on it! If you are unsure about what to play, I can give you suggestions and show you different repertoire so you can choose something that truly captivates you.
The most important thing is that you develop or continue to grow your love for music and the piano!

Reviews (1)

Bernardo is an insanely skilled musician. He's knowledgeable about different genres. I recommend taking lessons with him if you're looking to improve your composition and song writing skills. He could could give you feedback on the pieces you've written, and also help you improve your music theory knowledge.
Do you want to learn how to compose your own music? Do you want to be able to express yourself and put your own thoughts in musical form? In this Classical Composition or Songwriting class, that's exactly what we'll be focusing on! You can choose to focus on composing classical music, using scores, or creating your own songs, either for you or other people to sing. You will learn music theory, learn how to use music software like reaper, ableton, sibelius or musescore, and you'll work alongside me to discover your own voice in music making. My name is Bernardo and I am a composer from Portugal who specializes and studies contemporary classical music. I also create my own songs in a singer-songwriter style and I have made music for film and videogame. I am currently doing a master's in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp where I study with Wim Henderickx. I have studied in the past with composers such as Luís Tinoco, Carlos Caires and Eurico Carrapatoso. My works have been played in several European concert halls and I have in my portfolio works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, orchestra and choir. I am also currently doing a bachelor's in singing at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, so if you are a singer-songwriter, we can also work on your own voice.

Hello everyone, I am piano docent in Conservatory and performing pianist. I give private piano lessons to students of all ages and levels.

Young adults and adults are also very welcome! The piano lessons take place at my home in Berchem or online via Zoom or Skype. Due to the corona crisis, taking piano lessons online has become popular, although it can still be done at home without a problem. I live a short distance from Berchem station . During the lessons I will take into account specific wishes, such as preference for classical or popular music. I use a piano method suited to your age. No prior knowledge of music is required. I will open the world of music through the basics of piano playing. You don't know where to start? No worries, in this class you will learn everything about fingers, pianos and posture! My goal is to encourage you to pursue your passion now, or to bring out the best in you. I have been active as a pianist for more than 20 years. I graduated as a Master of Music. Greetings Sana

Come and learn to play the piano. Connect with your inner artist.
Teaching is a wonderful way to build peoples lives and to have the opportunity and be part of this process is what I truly enjoy. I have taught people of all ages in the past and teaching in such a diverse environment has enabled me to be an inclusive thinker and approach each unique situation skillfully.

Stefan
Piano lessons for acquiring and/or improving piano skills
In my class, I teach piano in a way that allows you to make progress on your own. "Don't give a man a fish, instead teach him how to fish," is the idea here. My methods include, besides basics, approaches to expressing your own musicality, stable memorization, practice habits and efficiency, technical ease, focus exercises, body awareness, and stage fright. Hence, I am best suited for intermediate and advanced students that have the desire to either study piano on a collegiate level or make significant improvements for themselves. I would like to add at this point that I have a special affinity for the concert etudes by Frédéric Chopin. However, I am perfectly happy to start with students from the very beginning as well and regardless, I will adjust to my student's needs upon mutual agreement. My free times that I listed as available are a rough estimate, lesson times are normally negotiable.

Cello lessons and Conservatory preparation/Cellolessen en Conservatorium voorbereiding/Cours de violoncelle et préparation du conservatoire
Cello Lessons for all levels: My main goal with my teaching is to share my passion for music with my students. I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello. Besides the discpline one learns, Music-making in itself is fulfilling!! :) Conservatory Preparation: In my experience as a musician living and working in Belgium for the past 6 years, I have noticed a gap in the musical education of young Belgian music students transitioning from Music academies into Conservatories. Oftentimes, these young music students seeking to enter conservatories do not possess the necessary skill level to enter higher education in Music. Through my private teaching, I intend to bridge this gap by catering specifically (though not exclusively) to these students. I strongly believe that there is a huge demand for this type of teaching which I am capable to provide.

Elena
Piano lessons, music theory, ear training, harmony.
I have taught piano for 4 years and I see it as the means to bring my experience with music directly to students. Therefore, my primary goal as a teacher is to make this experience enjoyable, enriching, and challenging. My lessons are organized depending on the level, needs and objectives of the student. We can work on classic repertoire, pop, movie soundtracks, or improvise. I love to share my passion for music with my students.

Robrecht
Classes Musical Dictation, ear training / Class Musical Eartraining
In these lessons I would like to teach the student how to tackle a music dictation and how you can study for it. The dictation is very easy after a few lessons; after looking at the harmonization, possible modulations and interval exercises to more easily recognize intervals and memorize melody lines, it will be much easier when you hear a dictation to be able to fill it without error. You will then also have a better relative absolute hearing.

Cello lessons for everyone given by a very friendly Australian! 🇦🇺🦘
Cello lessons for everyone, beginners to advanced students (e.g. Conservatory). I always strive to create a positive, confidence-building experience in every lesson, whether the student does it for fun or wants to set higher goals for themselves. I would like to offer my full dedication to you or your child, whether playing the instrument for the first time or in preparation for auditions, competitions, a career as a professional cellist and everything in between! Each lesson is tailored to the individual wishes and needs of the student, for which I can use a range of learning materials - which also includes many duets that we can play together as student and teacher! You don't have to know exactly what you want yet; together we can discuss and try it out to see what will work best for you; I will guide you in the right direction! So please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have. I usually teach at my home, but I am happy to come to you depending on accessibility and travel time by bicycle, tram or train.

Regular piano lessons too difficult? Then try piano lessons with NOTUS!
In piano lessons we use the book method of NOTUS. To begin with, we start with the basic book. Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano. At the beginning, look together 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 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.

Music - Violin and Piano Classes - Beginner to Intermediate
I have been learning the violin and piano since 5 years old, and am currently taking a bachelor in Music Performance in Violin, in the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Students of any age are welcome, and I have special experience with beginner and younger students, having given a lot of lessons of piano and music theory. I teach in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and basic Dutch. The individual violin and piano lessons are personalized and tailored to the progress and learning ability of each student. Emphasis is placed on developing good posture and ease of movements at the early stage. We will then continue to revise and enhance technique while taking on more challenging repertoire as they progress. Lessons are stress-free and I always try to provide a safe and calm environment for an engaging and fun class! Games for little kids are a absolute must! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a question!:)
