Bohuslava
Piano lessons - All Levels - Tutor with a Master's Degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy
My lessons aim to transfer the joy of music, develop musical imagination and creativity together with the gradual improvement of technic according to age and individual dispositions so that playing an instrument is a musical experience and pleasure for all. Having a Master's Degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy, I give my courses not as a side-activity but as my profession. I believe that effective teaching brings responsibility and requires educational background and commitment. Along with the courses, for various age groups, I follow different approaches depending on the individual needs. PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN Are you a parent and would you like your child to begin playing the piano in an early age? With 4-6 year old ones my lessons have rather a playful character. I use a piano book adapted to this age group which tells a story to kids while they are learning new songs. Listening, singing, movement and rythmic activities are also included in order to bring out the music in every young child. SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN Being capable of reading music notes with ease will help your children to learn new repertoire quicker and gives them freedom to read a song whenever they want without having to wait for their teacher. Learning notes by simply memorizing them is hovewer often discouraging, therefore in my lessons your child will learn about music notes in a fun way - intorducing to my students a story where each character presents a concrete music note helps them to read sheet music with ease. A piano book will be chosen depending on your child’s level to ensure a progressive improvement of piano skills. This is eventually supplemented with additional repertoire – usually I bring several musical pieces and the student chooses the one she/he likes the most. TEENAGERS With teenage beginners I use an accelerated piano book designated for this age group. In case of students who already have a knowledge of piano playing, I build up on what they have learnt and continue expanding their piano skills and musical creativity. The lessons are adapted to the student‘s intention to either play the piano as a hobby or to become a professional musician. I believe that playing a musical piece we like is much more effective, therefore when choosing a new repertoire I usually offer more pieces from which my students can choose, I am also open to suggestions of my students. ADULTS Do you think you are too old to start playing the piano? Its never too late to learn something new. In fact, adults have many advantages over a child learning how to play music such as larger attention, quick theory understanding and last but not least a strong desire to learn, which is not always the case with children. Do you have a favourite song you’d like to learn but it is too difficult for a beginner? Many famous melodies from classical but also popular repertoire are available in easy arrangments suitable for beginners. I also suggest a piano book designated for adult learners which helps to gradually improve their piano skills.

Piano lesson for beginners and advanced students - all age levels
I am a Vietnamese pianist and I would love to share nice music to you with a friendly environment. I have finished my Master in piano specialisation in Royal Conservatory of Liège, and now I'm following piano accompaniment in Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Giving concerts, making some recording, working in both classical and contemporary music, and with more than 10 years of experience in teaching, I would be happy to share all my knowledge and enjoy the music together!

Natalia
Composing/Song writer/Music writing/Performing
I am Natalia, a piano musician and music writer. I compose my own music pieces on the piano, music tracks in different genres including, for example, film scores, pop songs and classical music. I make and play music for anything that requires music. Movies, TV shows, plays, commercials, songs. Here you will be informed about the offers for the PERFORMANCE and COMPOSING and also about the PIANO LESSONS...

Mario
Piano lessons for all levels and all ages
I teach Classical Piano, Jazz, Pop, Variety, Rock, Solfege and Harmony, for beginners or for more advanced levels and for all ages (children, teenagers, adults). I also work with the singers who need to learn the chords and general bases of Harmony applied to the Piano.

App
Private course of Piano/Composition/Computer Music with AppMuse
< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano > Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognise that : '' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". '' The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym. < Music is like cooking > When we cook, to make a roast beaf tender, of course it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beaf won’t become tender merely by our tender heart. By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling. To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, notes we write. < Difference between an audience and a musician > There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey. The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavour to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience. < Course Content > I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects which are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more. In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”. < Duration > For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems. < Recording > I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections. Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals. If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

Violin, Viola, Piano and Music Theory lessons in EN, FR, DE, IT, NL
As a graduated music pedagogue, I adapt my lessons to the student's needs and interests. My goal is to give an as complete as possible preparation in the technical and artistic fields while keeping the lesson a positive, creative and constructive experience for all students, from the youngest children who didn't learn to read yet to more mature people looking for new challenges. I teach violin and viola from beginner to advanced level and piano for beginners, integrating my lessons with tidbits of music theory in order to give the students wider knowledge and awareness. Group lessons for two or three students are also an option.

Nazanin
Classical piano lessons, music theory and musical culture
Learning to play the piano is like learning another language, it is the language of the body in harmony with the music. I teach my students to have a musical thought to better understand the technique and I work on body gestures to make it easier to adapt to the instrument. I can learn to read and write music, have notions of music theory, play classical music, songs, movie music, ... I have a Master in Solo Piano and a Master in Chamber Music from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. I also have a musical diploma of the regional conservatory of Paris. I've been teaching regularly for 8 years. I have experience with children and adults.

Sara
Piano lessons given by concert pianist with four postgraduate diplomas
Being naturally very skilled in sight-reading of music scores, I've realized numerous times how helpful and enjoyable can be to posses that "gift". Now, after many years of experience in teaching at different levels and aspirations of students, I can surely say that, despite their different ambitions in playing piano, all of them were very keen in learning how to be better in reading completely new and unknown music to them. Currently, I'm developing an approach which could efficiently help one in understanding better the composition seen for the first time, through "scanning" analysis and use of logical patterns while getting to know basis of classical harmony. I'm a concert pianist with rich performing experience on worldwide stages, 1st prize winner of more then 30 international piano competitions in Europe and USA, holding Master degree, as well as two different Postgraduate degrees and two different Concert musician diplomas in special program for gifted concert artists at Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.

Singing, Recording, & Piano Lessons With A Professional Singer.
I'm a recording artist and a singing and piano teacher, with over 15 years of teaching experience in Europe (including Belgium) and the USA where I was among the top 10 tutors in Washington DC. I'm a professional singer-songwriter. I teach students around the world including New York, California, Washington DC, Honolulu, Colorado, London, Paris, Brussels, and Switzerland. I offer voice lessons, piano lessons, songwriting tips, music theory.

Piano: I teach using the classical method, applicable to both classical and modern music. I can help you also with songwriting, music theory, learning the chords, reading the music and give you some current music business tips plus help you with the recording or live performance. I am university-educated with over 18 years of educational experience, including Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. I'm looking forward to working with you! :)

Music lessons in piano, cello, harpsichord, for all ages and levels.
Lessons in piano, historical and modern cello, and harpsichord, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, coordination, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history. In my teaching, I try to teach the students how to teach themselves, because the best teacher for you is yourself. Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege and history of music, if the student wishes. For my private students, I organize concerts 1-2 per year. Fluent in English and Russian and Bulgarian, intermediate in Nederlands und Deutsch. I have been teaching for more than 15 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, and probably more than 100 students. I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello and piano.

Pianoles voor muziekliefhebbers. Alle leeftijden zijn welkom!
Sinds ik 4 jaar oud ben, neemt piano een grote plaats in mijn leven en hart, doordat mijn vader me sindsdien heeft lesgegeven. Ik ben enorm enthousiast om mijn passie te kunnen delen met geïnteresseerden, wat hun leeftijd ook is! Ik let veel op de positie aan de piano, zodat er geen injuries zouden opkomen. Ik praat ook veel over muzikale lijnen en hoe een goede klank produceren piano op. Als u geen notenleer heeft gevolg, ben ik heel blij om daar ook mee te helpen samen met de pianostudie. Piano spelen is voor ieder heel persoonlijk, zowel technisch als muziekaal. Daarom vind ik het heel belangrijk om de beste oplossingen te zoeken en me aan te passen aan elke individual leerling, zodat hij of zij zijn eigen band met muziek kan creëren. Ik ben momenteel mijn Master aan het afmaken bij Jan Vermeulen in Luca School of Arts, Leuven.

Theresa
Piano lessons for beginners in German, English, Spanish or French
Would you or your child like to learn the piano? I offer piano lessons for beginners in Brussels. Playful learning and having fun with music are my focus! As a flutist with a music education training, I studied piano as a minor and I am happy to pass on my knowledge.

Arnaud
Piano lessons for every level and every age. Welcome !
My approach is about discovering music from different angles and sensations, from listening and touching to reading and learning, which creates a good balance for an efficient and relaxed way of working. I focus on technique, musicality, analyse, but mostly I try to demonstrate how these are all bound together. I only work with scores (music sheets) which is according to me the best way to learn. I encourage classical repertoire but I’m open to anything. Every level and age is accepted, thanks for reading !
