Piano Lesson: Enjoy the Music While Learning to Play!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano? Or do you want to learn to read music? Maybe you want help with a difficult part? Or do you want to learn how to play without a blade?

I would love to help you with that! How do we get started?

We naturally start with an introduction so that I know what you want, what you can do and how we can proceed. Step by step without pressure or rush. I have a nice collection of pieces, both classic and modern, that we can start with and you may already have something in mind that you would like to learn.

I have had private lessons for 11 years and have been playing this very beautiful instrument since I was 7. The lessons are really only a small part of the musical growth. What matters is that you can enjoy the music you create yourself.

If you are interested, feel free to leave a message. The times are negotiable.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Esperanza,
I live in Turnhout with my fiancé and my lovely pets. I work for the Flemish Red Cross in psychosocial care. My passions are dancing and making music, I enjoy both equally. When I want to relax and change my mind, I find my piano and play the pieces that I like the most at that moment. Sometimes I take on the challenge of learning a new piece and it is very satisfying when I finally master that piece. I have benefited a lot from the private guidance in my younger years. Because of these lessons I can now enjoy the pieces I play without having to put too much energy and time into studying them.

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
University studies in Maastricht, Netherlands and university studies in Wageningen, Netherlands - these studies have allowed me to do the work I do now.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I have been playing since I was 7 and have had private lessons for 11 years. I have given piano lessons at home and abroad, where someone was needed I offered my help. I have traveled a lot and because of that I speak several languages. But there is always one language that everyone speaks and that is music.

Great piano teacher. Starts with the basics and combines theory with practice. Senses the student's pace and builds on it.

Very good first lesson. Esperanza explains it all very calmly, paying attention to the level of the student.

I teach you the basics of salsa, the techniques of guiding and following, the different basic turns, developing the musical ear and dancing in harmony with the rhythm. As you can see I know many kinds of salsa dancing, each one is unique and a lot of fun to learn! Because I can dance as 'man' as 'woman' (in salsa there are different steps for the male and female roles) it doesn't matter if you come alone or with your partner. The price is based on a one-time session, see it as a small workshop, in which I teach you the basics of the salsa you want to learn. From there we can see if you are interested in more lessons and we can agree on a cheaper price.

Piano lessons for all levels and ages. I have a master's diploma in Classical Piano Performance from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp and experience mainly in the field of classical music. However, I want to help every student in developing their musical potential even if it is not in this sphere. Bonus: music theory and just a bit of music history

Douglas

Specialising in jazz theory as well as double and electric bass technique, but mostly learning how to play! I enjoy working collaboratively with individuals as well as groups, focusing on listening skills, transcription, composition and communicating musical ideas through notation software Musescore. I have extensive experience performing and teaching in Scotland and around the world. I graduated in 2012 from Edinburgh Napier University, working as a full-time session musician since.

Jannick
Private piano, synthesizer and/or producing lessons (Ableton Live) in Mechelen
Hey! Would you like to learn to play that one track (or several tracks) from Coldplay, John Legend, Elton John, .. on the piano, but you don't know where to start? Or would you like to learn how to produce, mix and master with Ableton Live to create your own tracks? Or would you like to learn how a synthesizer works and how you can make sounds with it? I can help you! I've been playing the piano for about 15 years now after my Pop & Jazz education, and I've done quite a few performances in all kinds of genres. In addition, I also obtained a degree in Electronic Music Production at Point Blank Music School, and I am currently active as a keyboard player and producer. I mainly play pop music, but we can certainly look at other genres as well. For piano lessons I recommend 30 minutes so that we can cover new topics each lesson that you can then practice at home. For Ableton Live, 60 minutes is more suitable if you want to get the hang of it quickly, but you can certainly learn it in 30 minutes per lesson. Interested? Feel free to give us a call and we'll take a moment. All classes take place with me in Mechelen.

Hanna
Harples, piano lessons, solfège - for all levels and ages - Mechelen, Antwerp, Bonheiden, Ghent region
The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student. It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect. Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation. Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best. I am familiar with different styles for both harp and piano, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music. There is also the option to work from improvisations. The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

Tutku
Private Piano and Solfege Lessons from a Piano Master Graduate
Hi there! I'm a pianist who recently finished her 10th educational year in Performance Art of Piano, graduating from Lemmensinstitute with a Master's Degree. I have taught to people of all ages for 6 years and I have experience with both beginners and high levelled players. May it be classical or popular music you want to learn, I can help you with anything as long as you have fun!

Bente
Piano lessons and solfège for beginners young and old!
I am a student teacher of music education and project art subjects. I myself graduated in solfège and took piano lessons for 3 years. After 3 years of taking lessons at the academy, I continued to learn to play the piano. Teaching and music are my passion. When I teach I try to do it in the most fun and fastest way. I want to see my students evolve as quickly as possible. The lessons I give always start from practice, as this is the easiest way to process the theory. I always make the lessons myself and make them at the level of my students. Every now and then I work with a book, but I certainly don't rely on it. The first lesson will be an introductory lesson, in which I will look at what you can already do, what you expect from the lessons and what exactly you want to learn. Then we will start at a good pace. I prefer to teach at home. Lessons cannot take place at my home. I have the most experience with people who have little or no experience. I also prefer this because it allows me to teach directly in my own way. Age doesn't matter to me. You are never too old for music! I hope I can teach you soon and that we can go together for the best result!!

Sarah
Piano lessons and composition for all ages and levels
Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano, but don't know how to get started? Or do you wish to take your piano skills to the next level? You can take individual piano lessons with me. Together we look at where you are now and where you want to go. Nut leather is also taught if necessary, to the extent of what you need yourself. In this way, every lesson is adapted to you personally. Beginner or advanced? Everyone is welcome! Would you like to compose your own music? As a composer I can also show you around. Lessons can be scheduled flexibly, so that they always fit into your agenda. You can take lessons at my home in Mechelen, as well as at your home in Mechelen or the surrounding area. Online lessons are also possible.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Denise
Singing classes for all age students and different vocal styles (pop, folk or classical) Online or Offline in Vienna
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I hope to read from you soon and to make music together. All my best, Denise P.S. My schedule is mostly a suggestion since I'm constantly editing and adapting to a work schedule, please feel free to send me a message regarding your schedule needs and suggestions in order to give you the best service.

Apollonia Maria
Beginner to Advanced Lessons for Guitar Players for all ages
After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning. I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc. For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!) Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other! One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it. I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before. The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.

Learn Piano and Music Theory with a CREATIVE APPROACH - Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock...
Hey there! Do you want to start a new hobby? Do you already play the piano and you want to improve your skills with a creative approach to the instrument? Then I think I can help you! I can teach you basic and advanced concepts of any style on the piano (classical, jazz, pop-rock...), and if you like improvisation and jazz then we get along even better! I offer very personalized classes based on your level and interests. My approach to teaching strongly takes the student's CREATIVITY into account, but without forgetting that a good knowledge of MUSIC THEORY and PIANO TECHNIQUE are essential. Constant practice is recommended for better results, although it is not strictly required.
