Lisa
Music/Musique/Music: Private Violin Lessons and Music Lessons
Are you young or old, a beginner/intermediate/advanced musician and would you like to take violin and/or solfège lessons or tutoring? Then you've come to the right place! My name is Lisa and I am currently in my 2nd master's degree for violin with Lilia Umnova at the LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens conservatory. I also study singing lessons with Catherine Vandevelde. I can easily teach in Merchtem and Leuven. On my profile you can find more information about myself and how I work in the lessons. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us a message!

Giuseppe
Piano, solfege, composition in Brussels and Leuven.
I give piano and music theory/ music writing (composition) classes in regions Brussels and Leuven. I have studied in Italy (piano) and at Brussels Conservatoire (music writing). I like sharing my artistic knowledge and experience with motivated students of all ages and varied backgrounds. In my teaching method I try to focus on the strong points and qualities of the student in order to build up technical skills which will help the student to overcome difficulties in a simple and natural way. It is crucial for me to make the student able to express their personality in an autonomous and creative way.

Gilles
Jazz-pop-rock pianist gives piano, rhythm and music theory lessons in Zellik.
🎼Will I like the piano to be played with music? Ik heb nog vrije plaatsen 😉 Children and adults 🎶 All you need to know My name is Gilles and I give private piano lessons for all ages and levels. I adapt to the expectations and abilities of the student. I obtained a Master's degree in jazz piano at the Flemish Conservatory in Brussels, accompanied by a teaching diploma. But studies were never enough for me: what I love is music: playing it and transmitting it. The jazz trio Base-12, which I created, released a first album in 2019: it was very well received on the media scene. I am also the leader of my pop group TocToc. My artist name is Max Wolly, you can listen to me on Spotify, iTunes, etc. But enough about me (however, I had to reassure you about my musical and educational background). Are you already a keyboard expert and want to improve? In a short time, you will dare to start improvising on jazz standards: thanks to the very concrete and progressive exercises that I will offer you, and the audio examples that I will share with you, you will quickly discover a talent for solos. Are you just taking your first steps and want to progress? I find in every beginner the seed of genius (yes yes, I swear, everyone, whatever their level, has a seed of genius): you will be amazed to succeed very quickly in interpreting some legendary pieces of boogie, rock , swing, pop or bossa nova. The rest of the story will depend above all on your motivation, that is to say the pleasure you take in playing. For those who like technical details, know that I work with the Faber piano Adventures books, which I find very cool. But over time I also made this observation: each musician, each student, is unique. So there is no one way to teach. Long live tailor-made! I can also support you and coach you as best as possible to enter the music conservatory in the jazz section. My two favorite jazz pianists have always been Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea. And I had the chance to study and work on my music from Bill Evans, Joey Calderazzo, etc. It is possible to take individual group lessons (2 to 3 students max of the same level having lessons at the same time) or individual lessons.

Catarina
Piano and Music Theory lessons for students of all levels and ages
Graduated in Music - Having studied piano (classical) at the University of Évora (Portugal), Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Germany) and at the Aquiles Delle Vigne International Music Academy. She is currently studying a Masters in Performance at LUCA School of Arts, Leuven, Belgium. I have a lot of experience in teaching piano and music theory in different musical styles and theoretical/musical training from children to adults, in official conservatories, music schools and private lessons, In my classes I try to share my musical knowledge, both practically and theoretically. The courses are aimed at those who want to have more direct contact with music, whether for the first time or not. I take great pleasure in teaching and I give great importance to each student. I like to choose repertoire that matches both student's musical tastes and technical work in need. I always try to encourage students and provide quality teaching. In musical training courses, I help students at conservatories/academies and teach classes to students without any theoretical basis. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Customized piano lessons: physically or online. [Children, teens and adults]
Piano lessons adapted to your taste and level. You tell us what you expect from the lessons so that I can give you optimal piano lessons. For example: you want to learn to read and play piano pieces. I must also give you the relevant theory. It is your choice to study additional theory, but it is not necessary. My lessons are therefore efficiently oriented. As a student, you can ultimately choose which piano pieces we work on (it must first be approved by me), so that playing the piano remains fun and educational. I cover classical music, pop music, video games, movies, anime music, etc... so many genres! Another example: you want to make a piano cover of an existing piece (e.g. pop music or movie music). I will give you the theory of chords and reading staves. This way you can get started quickly. Together we will practice enough so that you understand everything well! We can also improvise together on your piano. Feel free to message us if you have any questions :) I have already given private lessons to adults, teenagers and children both online and in person. Both options work great! We do this online via Skype or another app if desired. Physically we do it in Leuven city centre, where there is a handy large indoor bicycle shed. Ideally I teach once a week, you then continue practicing on your piano at home towards the next lesson the following week. If you would like lessons every other week or lessons twice a week, that is also possible for me. Why choose to learn to play the piano? It has been scientifically proven that playing an instrument makes someone smarter (good brain training). You can show your piano skills to others, but you can also make yourself happy and reward through your piano. I've heard from my friends that they regret not learning to play an instrument, hopefully you won't be like them... You only Live one time! What are you waiting for? I hope to see you then! ^_^

Elvis
Violin and Piano lessons for all ages and levels
Music is my passion and it is a joy for me to pass it on: My educational experience and my training allow me to teach music with games and playful methods in order to learn and play with pleasure, and I adapts the pieces and methods according to the level of the students and their ages.

Elisavet
Inspiring violin lessons - all levels and ages welcome!
I am an enthusiastic professional violinist and teacher. I can teach you classical violin, folk songs from Greece and Middle East, as well as your favourite pop tunes and tunes of almost any other music genre! Being well classically trained, I can help you build a solid violin technique and prepare you for giving your best during important music occasions such as exams, auditions, concerts etc. Also, being member of pop - oriental bands with concerts around Belgium, France and Greece, having played with several classical and contemporary music ensembles and orchestras, as well as coming from a family of musicians, my lessons are ideal for students who want to learn to be at ease when they eventually make music with others. :) All pieces can be taught either by ear, music scores or BOTH!! Teaching you basic and/or more advanced music theory to facilitate your violin learning if you don't know yet how to read and write music, can be easily done! My personal experience with music psychology and body movement techniques for musicians have enriched my knowledge and teaching skills. Extra attention is given during the lessons to not only help you build a strong and steadfast technique and develop your music ear, but also to acquire a confident presence and attitude for when you play for others! All is being done with gentle care towards your body's physiology and feelings, and consideration of your learning style. :)) Finally, I'm at your disposal in between the lessons, answering to any questions you might have and offering you support and guidance with your new insights! :D

Bonaventura
Flute technique, breathing system, repertoire and theory
The flute it’s a quite complex instrument, where the challenge is to find the balance between all the parameter, such as posture(in order to learn how to play fast passage), lips and everything concerning breathing technique(in order to get the best clear and powerful sound). It’ my job to guide the student in order to let him/her find that stability in order to get best results possible.

Nina
Individual music lessons. All categories, Flute and Piano.
Lessons are individually and carefully adapted to the student’s age, level, and desired outcome. From the youngest students, to whom the music and playing the basics are served playfully based on making the music an important part of their development to advanced students with whom we can refine all the musical details and prepare for professional careers.

Eliane
Piano lessons for music lovers. All ages are welcome!
Since I was 4 years old, piano has taken a big place in my life and heart, because my father has taught me ever since. I am extremely excited to share my passion with interested people, whatever their age! I pay a lot of attention to the position at the piano, so that no injuries occur. I also talk a lot about musical lines and how to produce a good sound on the piano. If you have not taken solfège, I am very happy to help with that as well along with the piano study. Playing the piano is very personal for everyone, both technically and musically. That is why I think it is very important to look for the best solutions and adapt to each individual student, so that he or she can create his or her own bond with music. I am currently finishing my Masters with Jan Vermeulen at Luca School of Arts, Leuven.

Are you interested in embarking on a musical journey, aiming to learn your favorite pieces or songs, or perhaps are you interested in learning composition/ notation techniques? As an experienced composer and pianist I'll do my best to teach in a fun and engaging way for all ages!

Eli
Guitar, Bass guitar, Ukulele and Piano lessons (Online or in Leuven)
Are you a beginner who has started to learn guitar on his own, and can't see the trees for the wood anymore? Or do you already have some experience and want to learn something new? Then you've come to the right place! About myself: I have been playing both guitar and bass guitar for 8 years. I also have a solid foundation in music theory. I took lessons with Kristof Neyens (rock school leuven) for several years, and now I would like to share my experience. Classes: Depending on your preference, we can draw up a lesson plan together with individual assignments. I also try to work as much as possible with the genres that you like to listen to yourself, this is of course more motivating (after all, you don't want to try to teach Mozart to a Metal fan ;)) My approach is certainly not like that of the 'music theory' at the academy. From your first lesson you will immediately start playing songs. I only use music theory if it is really necessary or if you would like to delve into it. Practical: I follow distance education so I can actually go at any time of the week, online lessons are also a possibility. If you contact me and tell me which times suit you, we can certainly find a fixed time together!
