Classical guitar lessons for beginner, intermediate, or advanced players

I am passionate about teaching guitar! Over the last 10 years I have been teaching students from ages 7-70 from complete beginners to advanced players with one thing in common - their wish to play guitar more comfortably and have fun while doing it!

I am a classical guitarist with a background in pedagogy, psychology and physiotherapy, my approach - methodical.
While working on the things you want to improve and learn I will also help you develop a deep understanding of the theory and principles that music is built upon. Our lessons will be exploratory and imaginative whilst also underpinned by technical knowledge so that you can enjoy playing comfortably and without pain.

My aim is to get you to where you want to be playing guitar, whether that be for friends at New Year or on the stage at Carnegie Hall!

Experience / Qualifications

I have been teaching for 10 years now and have had the pleasure of working with over 100 students aged 6 to 96! After completing my performance degree I have taken two pedagogical diplomas which have really helped me to create my own didactic methods, from beginner guitarist through to professional performer looking to drill their technique or explore different working and musical methods.

good teacher
Rosie was very kind and patience,, I really learned from her
Started guitar lessons today. Started quietly with the basics: what do I do with my hands/fingers so that they don't get tangled. Clearly and clearly explained with the necessary explanation (why this way, why this way). Rosie explains everything quickly and clearly in English. We agreed that way because I can speak English well and it goes more smoothly for her than Dutch.
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
The lessons with Rosie are very effective and productive. She quickly spotted the issues that needed to be worked on and suggested how to improve. Highly recommended!
Rosie is a good teacher, and organises topics well. During the lesson I did not feel difficult to improvise, neither in her conversation nor mine.

Piano and/or music theory lessons for every level and age! (NL/EN/FR)
Hey! Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but aren't sure where to start? Or maybe you just want to take your piano playing to the next level? In either case, you can come to me for piano and theory lessons tailored to your needs! Are you a fan of pop/jazz music rather than classical? We can easily take care of this too! As a young student, I am often closer to the practice of teaching and can sense where the student's goals lie. Very flexible throughout the week and weekends, either at the student's home, at my grand piano, or possibly online (especially music theory).

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.

Instrument lessons trumpet, bugle or cornet in the Leuven region
Would you like to learn trumpet, bugle or cornet or are you looking for more depth? I am happy to help you! I studied trumpet at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and built up a lot of pedagogical skills through my Educational Master Music and Performing Arts at LUCA School of Arts and experience as a teacher. I have worked with students of all ages, it is never too late to start (again)! The lessons can range from rather technical to musical, exploring different genres. As a teacher I am flexible, everything is tailored to the student. The goal is that you can develop yourself with pleasure on the instrument. I can also provide support with music theory. You can bring your own repertoire, I have more than enough study material myself. Lessons are in the Leuven region, at your home or at a location chosen by me. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions 🙂 See you later? Rose

Music theory and/or music history lessons for all ages!
Do you want to understand music better? Or would you like a basic music theory to be able to play an instrument in a more informed way? Then I would be happy to help you! As a musicologist, I attach great importance to understanding the context in which music originated and evolved. My knowledge of music history can give you insight into the development of different music styles and how they have been influenced by cultural and social factors. Music theory/music theory lessons can help you understand the building blocks of music. Whether you are a young beginner taking first steps with music lessons or an adult who wants to continue his or her love for music; the lessons will be tailor-made to achieve your goals! For me, learning is a source of joy and inspiration. As a result, I would like to create a positive and supportive learning environment, in which you feel free to ask questions and experiment with music. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Davy
Customised guitar lessons from classical to acoustic and electric
My name is Davy, I am 34 years old and have had the guitar in my fingers for 25 years. I graduated from the Music Academy Tongeren for both classical and electric guitar. In addition, I attended 2 years of Conservatory Jazz at LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens Institute. I started teaching in various situations since I was 16, both group lessons and individual lessons on instrument and music theory. Sharing my knowledge with others has always been a great passion. That is why I now offer private lessons tailored to my needs where I live in Leuven. This for both acoustic, classical and electric guitar in a range of styles. What you can expect is not a fixed course that we go over from A to Z, but a course that we build ourselves, as it were, focused on your musical taste, knowledge and goal on your instrument. Together with you, I will look at how I can teach you the necessary basics in a way that you can use it best for the genres you want to learn to play. I look forward to going on this musical journey of discovery with you!

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!

Guitar lessons for (absolute) beginners with electric or classical guitar
Guitar lessons for (absolute) beginners with a bit of theory, I have been playing at the rock school in Leuven for 2 years and am also in a band. We will learn the basic chords/riffs together...and based on your interests we will also learn songs. I don't have a lot of experience, but I can help you take your first steps in guitar.

Laura
Custom piano lessons: face-to-face or online. [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! ^_^
