About Me

As a curious and creative individual there are 2 subjects I am truly passionate about. The first is music, which I have been nurturing since I was 8 years old. The second is Physics which I studied at university.

In music, I took drum lessons for 4 years followed by piano lessons for 3 years and music theory lessons for 2 years before I switched to bass guitar for 7 years (ongoing). In bass, I took additional private lessons, I played and toured with jazz ensembles, performed live music and composed originals with numerous bands in Belgium and the UK, went to music summer camps, payed for specific online bass courses and recorded a lot of originals in studios. I am currently learning to sing and playing bass professionally with Kids of The Elephants in Brussels.

In Physics, I achieved 90% at the European School of Brussels II - as well as 85% in further Maths - and completed a Masters in Physics with honours at the University of Leicester in 2021. I have studied optional modules such as Astrophysics, Space Science, Programming and Medical Physics as well as standard modules such as Electricity & Magnetism, Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity. For my Masters, I wrote a fun and fascinating literature review on Gamma-Ray Bursts and Gravitational Waves and I proposed a new personal project in Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques and Aorta Phantoms due to my interest in medicine.

I am also a very sociable and empathetic person. During my studies, most of my free time consisted of playing music with numerous bands in Leicester and in Brussels. I was also the equipment & events officer for a large Band & Gigs society featuring 70 active members and regularly collaborated with other music societies (choir, big band, orchestra..). I have also worked as a student ambassador for my university (talking to parents and their children about my Physics department) and occasionally like to go rollerblading.

Excellent professeur! Compétent, patient, s'adapte au niveau de ses élèves. Propose toute sortes d'exercices et de nouvelle compétences pour que l'apprentissage reste intéressante et toujours fun. Merci Jeremy!
Ma fille de 7 ans a eu la chance de suivre quelques cours de basse avec Jeremy. Il a su éveiller son intérêt et a fait preuve de beaucoup de patience, de bienveillance et pédagogie. Je recommande sans hésiter!
After only a few lessons with Jeremy, I can say that he helped me progress more than I was able to achieve in 2 years trying to learn the bass through Youtube videos… He helped with the theoretical aspects as well as with my playing technique. He is very methodical and adapts to your needs and requests, and he also provided me with homework and very helpful tips and practice exercices. Highly recommended!
Jeremy possède une méthodologie de travail adaptée au besoin de chaque personne ce que je vois quand il travaille avec mon fils. Juste quelques cours de physique ont été suffisants pour que mon fils comprenne la matière et directement ses notes ont montré le progrès. Malgré les problèmes de concentration chez mon enfant, Jeremy trouve le moyen de lui expliquer les sujets difficiles et canaliser son attention. Mon fils se sent plus à l’aise, plus confiant et les résultats sont très satisfaisants. Nous gardons Jeremy comme enseignant régulier pour les cours de physique et mathématiques et conseillons ses prestations sans hésiter.
Nous le recommandons pour sa pédagogie, ses incroyables et sa volonté de bien accompagner les étudiants. Un grand merci !
Hi, my name is Jeremy and I have a Masters in Physics with honours from the University of Leicester (featured as a top 5 Physics university in the UK by The Guardian) and a - french - European School diploma in which I achieved 90% in Physics and 85% in Maths. Helping others understand difficult topics and skills is something that I am very passionate about as an empathetic person. I have experience teaching Physics and Maths to kids from unprivileged backgrounds at a homework school in Saint-Gilles (CASG du Service Social Juif asbl) as well as through many private lessons. In my classes, I aim to: - help students achieve better grades in exams/tests in all branches of Physics & Maths - clearly explain and break down topics - give context and or example applications of topics (to improve understanding and memorisation) - help with ADHD & other learning disabilities - give practical advice for university applications (eg. UCAS in the UK) and discuss the exciting Physics research/work and projects you can work on later in life Physics has a plethora of useful and fascinating applications, from the detection of Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Ray Bursts to the development of novel Medical Imaging techniques and Nano-technology (eg: smartphones). It is a subject that I am very passionate about and I hope to make use of my years of experience and extensive knowledge to help you understand and love the subject! My lessons will always be tailored to the individual needs of the student, so please do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions!

Furmi
SAXOPHONE LESSONS / Master's Degree in music / 5 years living and playing in New York City!
Have you ever seen a saxophone and wondered how it feels to play it? It’s never too late to start! I will help you get started with the instrument. Do you already know how the instrument works? Great! Let’s take it to another level! I have plenty of study method books with a big range of different styles, we will find the ones that you enjoy the most and suit you better and combine it in the right way, to help you improve. Plus work on any music that you personally want to learn, name any song and I will help you learn how to play it! I myself had amazing and terrible music teachers during my learning process and believe me, I know what a difference makes… To really enjoy learning music or just to feel a ‘must study’, is the difference between ‘…I have to’ or ‘I want to!’. I finished a Bachelor and a Master's degree in the Music Conservatory (The Hague) and then spent five years in the jazz scene in New York City, which gave me a very wide experience. Whether you are a beginner or preparing to enter a Music Conservatory, I can help you. Classes description: I have different study books we can use depending on the level, Wastall, Klose, Voxman, classic duets, jazz duets, Rubank, Horen, Lezen & Spelen, etc…. Plus I can write for you the songs you want to learn.If you have specific needs of topics to learn I will adapt the lesson and material to it. If what you want is to start or develop further in jazz music and/or improvisation, I’m definitely ready to help you! Beginners: Start finding the sound of the instrument, where the notes are within all those keys, begin with learning how to read music if you don’t read yet, and find easy and fun songs to play to enjoy the instrument already. I can introduce you to the understanding of basic harmony and theory concepts to help understand better inside music that you are playing.  Intermediate: We can get to improve the technique of the instrument, reading skills, get more precision, speed, sound and timing and musical expression. Advance the understanding of harmony, its beauty and its possibilities. If you like to work on improvisation we can get to discover how to enjoy improvising with all the technical tools you already learned in the past and enhance that material according to your taste. If you want to start with playing jazz music I can introduce you to first steps and nice and technically comfortable songs to begin with. Advanced: At an advanced level it’s very important to understand the direction you want to take and what you especially want to improve. However I can help you perfectionate sound and timing, rhythm, vibrato, etc…, work on the accuracy of the reading and at the same time make it sound musical and human. On jazz music and/or improvisation, expand the vocabulary for improvising, the knowledge of harmony, what you can do with the material you know from different perspectives, increase precision and sense of direction when phrasing lines, learn more jazz standards, help on original compositions. And of course share all the better understanding of jazz music I learned during my years in New York City.

Clarinet Lessons, in any style: classical music, jazz, folk and avantgarde
Clarinet is one of the most versatile and coolest instruments that ever existed: classical music, jazz, folk music around the world, just name it! After years of training, studying and professional activity, I learned you have to be versatile in different styles. I offer clarinet and bass clarinet lessons in any style you'd like to learn: clarinet technique itself, classical clarinet and/ how to apply music theory to your performance skills, jazz improvisation... I'll be very happy to help you to find out your voice and language through the instrument through a very creative and transversal methodology. My experience in teaching, orchestral performance, solo performance and chamber music performance is huge. If you want to know me more don't hesitate to ask for my CV or media. I also have a solid experience in Alexander Technique which I apply to my performance skills and my lessons.

François
Trumpet school in Brussels
New trumpet school in Brussels whose teaching method is unique in Belgium. It is based on the student's memory technique (visual, auditory, bodily). We are all different and it is not the pupil who must adapt to the pedagogical project but it is this one which must be thought according to him. This method is also based on the flourishing of music. Our courses are not limited to the learning of the instrument as such, we place great emphasis on the assimilation of music by the body. For this we train the student in body rhythm and we include outings, among other sports, in our program. The school's teachers are specialized in various fields: jazz, classical, instrument technique, improvisation technique,… which will allow the student to choose according to his desires and to meet his expectations. He will also benefit from personalized follow-up. Our courses are open to all levels. It is the student who will determine his schedules with his teacher. This flexibility will give him great freedom in the organization of his schedule. The school curriculum is spread over three years and will allow the student to acquire a knowledge of a large part of scales, rhythms, to develop his musical ear, a culture of the great moments of the music and to have a better knowledge of his body through the approach of rhythm and breathing. The prospects sought by our school for the pupil is that he can quickly be confronted with the happiness of playing in a group.

Sarah
Musician teaches MAO, live machine, composition, mixing & DJ
I offer tailor-made and totally flexible and adaptable teaching, depending on the level, needs and desires of the student(s). The objective for me is above all to combine progress and fun. I generally prefer to work with children and teenagers because their energy fascinates me, but I also give lessons to adults.

Jennifer
Contrabas les voor alle leeftijden, levels in interest
Hallo! Ik ben Jennifer, bass player gevestigd in Brussel. Ik geef met veel plezier les aan ieder die de contrabas wil spelen: of je nu net begint of je verder wilt ontwikkelen op dit magnifieke instrument. Het muziek maken staat centraal in mijn lessen en vanuit daar komen ook andere aspecten aan bod: samenspel, techniek (pizzicato en/of arco), gehoortraining, theory. Omdat de contrabas een veelzijdig instrument is in zoveel muziekstijlen kunnen we ook deze benaderen. Zo deel ik graag mijn grote passie voor allerlei muziek. Nieuwsgierig? Stuur me zeker een bericht en dan maken we een planning op basis van jouw wensen, agenda en interesses! Noten kunnen lezen is zeker geen must, ook dit kunnen we tijdens de lessen aanpakken.

Valentin
Saxophone and Music Theory lessons for beginners, advanced, experts
Musician and teacher for ten years, I offer lessons at your home in Brussels for all levels. Whether you want to start, improve your skills or prepare for concerts, this course is for you. In French or in English.

Eva
Piano, music theory/harmony, jazz/classic, music reading
Experience has taught me that it is very important to build a warm, trusting relationship with students, especially the very young ones. Bringing laughter, a sense of humour, games, and creating imaginative stories with music are my motives throughout the lesson. The goals and character of each student guides the teaching approach I adopt - some students enjoy learning for the joy of music, whilst others prefer to aim for recognised qualifications or grades. In both cases I aim to make learning enjoyable. I always encourage all my students, of whatever age or ability, to do some simple improvisation, and have developed several ways to facilitate this. I emphasise developing technique and music theory as they make the foundation of becoming a good musician throughout life.
