From 33 € /h

Graduated in classical flute at the Academy, student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz flute.
The student-teacher relationship is very important in my opinion in whatever subject. Being passionate about music, I intend to transmit this passion to my students by allowing them to explore their own voice and individual creativity.
Expressing yourself musically requires a lot of technique and know-how, but everyone is capable of it with a little willpower!
I mainly teach classical or jazz transverse flute. the saxophone I only teach beginners and only jazz.

I graduated from the Conservatoire de Nice CNRR (France) in jazz guitar.
I studied there for seven years with renowned professors such as Jean Paul Ceccarelli (Sting), Pierre Bertrand, Robert Persi or Philippe Petit.
My teaching method is flexible and I adapt it to the needs and desires of the student.
We will discuss the technical work on the instrument, the knowledge of the neck and chords and the rhythm. With or without solfege.
The goal is to provide the student with the necessary tools so that he can continue learning by himself at home.

Hello,

My name is Achille, I am 28 years old and I study jazz drums at the Royal Superior Conservatory of Brussels.

I offer you my services as a drummer but also more broadly as a passionate and semi-professional musician. I offer drum lessons but also rhythm lessons (even if you are not a drummer or percussionist!), For all styles and all levels.
I can also help you with composition, harmony or piano, preferably for middle level students.

I have many experiences as a musician: many groups of different styles (reggae, hip hop, funk, rock, jazz, French song), and also as a private teacher or in music school, individual or in group .

I also have many experiences of concerts, live or studio recordings, master classes, internships, jam sessions ...

I will be very happy to share my passion, my profession, in caring and listening, working the theory in close connection with the practice, in order to have fun but also to become autonomous!

Do not hesitate to contact me for any information or other requests!

Important: I have a room located in Etterbeek, or I would prefer to give my lessons, but I can possibly come to your place.

Hope to meet you.

Achille.

I am Thijs (30) an experienced drummer and musician, with a wide range of musical interests. Studying jazz drums under the wings of Lander Gyselinck at the KASK/Conservatory in Ghent. In addition, I have followed masterclasses and lessons from/with Joey Baron (US), Kendrick Scott (US), Corey Fonville (US) and Stéphane Galland (BE). I am also active in various bands/groups.

My lessons, depending on the level, focus on both the fundamental building blocks of drumming and music as a whole. These building blocks together with the student's interests form the curriculum, so that it meets the student's wishes as best as possible. I also teach music theory/music theory. Some aspects of this are also offered during drum lessons.

In the end, it's you who will enjoy it the most, so that's what I'm focusing on! For questions or more information, don't hesitate and send me a message. Let's kick it!

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

Hello !

In order to be as effective as possible, my course logically adapts to the student: One type of course is not for everyone.
I want to know my students on a case-by-case basis to offer them courses adapted to their needs. Personalized exercises, always at the student's pace to maintain the pleasure of learning.

Graduated in Jazz and Classical Music at the French Conservatory, I can teach the science of reading, rhythm, melody, harmony, the ability to use one's ear to better effect, etc...

2.interpretation of pieces in relation to their musical context
3.stage play (theater, placement in space and posture)

- choir direction (decreasing prices depending on the number of participants) from three singers per session on the musical works of your choice. I can also suggest songs if needed.

- music theory lessons from beginner level to QA2, from one to five students per lesson with studies of pieces from the classical repertoire in connection with the theoretical notions studied.

- transverse flute lessons with technical work and interpretation on the pieces of your choice.

If you've been eager to get better in jazz music and therefore studying all its different styles and drummers, I can help you for sure!
Particularly, I've studied in deep Tony Williams' and Elvin Jones' playing, so if you really want to improve that kind of vision and sound I can give you some great hints such as transcriptions, analysis, sound strategies and many video materials.
Also, I am specialized in Funk/Hip-Hop music and that kind of groovy world. So, I've been mastering a specific approach to this genre as well.

About me:
I've been playing drums since I was 6. I got my Master Degree in 2022 at Salerno Music Conservatory (Italy) in Jazz Drums and Percussion.
I've been doing the role of Assistant Professor at KCB with Stéphane Galland throughout the 2023.

My method is based on serious and rigorous practice (while taking into account the student's ambitions) as well as learning most often by ear. This is indeed how music can be truly integrated over the long term.
I would be delighted to work with serious and determined students.

The shinobue is a flute that is used in street music but also in more sophisticated artistic performances. Japanese music has developed its own conception of beauty. Learning this music is a way to enter Japanese culture!

Traditionally, Japanese music is learned orally through shoga (a song using onomatopoeia). During the course, you also experience this method and will learn several types of music.

Course:
From 1 to 3 lessons per month / 1 lesson only and possible too
*I help you find and buy the instrument

Some testimonies
A few years ago, I was looking for a shinobue teacher on the Internet because I wanted to join the dance and music group of the Kagura Autumn Festival (in Japan)
I found Nozomi Kanda's page and videos. I was pleasantly surprised that she played Western classical music, contemporary music and also Japanese music. With Nozomi's knowledge of Western and Japanese music culture, it is always very inspiring for me to learn from her. Eventually, I might become a member of the Kagura band and I hope to be able to play contemporary music too in the near future. By studying shinobue, I can deepen my knowledge, insight and experience of traditional Japanese crafts and arts. Nozomi, thank you very much. (Japanese paper craftsman / Shikoku - Japan / Online course)
---
I started the shinobue class 9 months ago. After several lessons, I mastered the basic techniques under Nozomi's patient teaching. I started playing several scores with the other students. Together we participated in an end of year show. I am very happy to have the opportunity to share the delicate sound of shinobue with others. In the future, I would like to always be able to take my flute on vacation. I'm going to become a nomadic flautist! :) (Employee / Paris - France)
