INSCRIPTIONS FEVRIER 2026 OUVERTES :)

Le cours que je propose est doté d'un programme (que vous recevrez dans mes LIVRES DE COURS EN PDF) qui s'articule en fonction de votre profil et de vos ambitions, de vos demandes et de vos attentes.

L'âge n'est donc pas restrictif quant au programme, vous pourrez avec du travail quotidien qualitatif (et non quantitatif) observer rapidement vos progrès et ne pas sombrer dans la frustration d'une quête vers un absolu qui vous semble vain et chronophage.

Ici le plaisir de jouer de la musique est mis en avant.

Celui-ci s'accompagne bien évidemment du plaisir d'en apprendre plus en théorie et de pouvoir appliquer directement ses nouvelles connaissances sur son instrument et identifier son usage commun ou rare dans les morceaux abordés en cours.

Le solfège est vulgarisé pour être accessible à quiconque, tant pour ceux qui sont connaisseurs que pour ceux qui découvrent tout en partant du zéro absolu.
Les exercices, les chansons et les explications théoriques proposées tout au long du programme sont donc dans un ordre de difficulté progressif.

Le cours est donné avec des fiches que je fournis pour chaque information, gamme, chansons, grilles d'accords, formules de compositions, etc...
Il peut être parfois accompagné de vidéos faites pendant le cours, de vidéos tutoriels postées sur YouTube, etc...
Il y a également un soutien par mail de ma part entre les cours.

Le genre de musique que vous affectionnez le plus sera le point central du cours, bien que je sois plus particulièrement orienté en termes de musique métal / rock et de musique classique dans mon style de jeu, je suis une oreille polyvalente et qui apprécie beaucoup de choses très différentes.
L'écriture de la musique et le solfège sont aussi deux domaines dans lesquels je suis dans mon élément et qui me permettent de voyager transversalement dans les genres de musique aussi différents et variés soient-ils et de les comprendre, de les apprendre et donc d'en retransmettre leurs codes et leurs secrets.

Vous pouvez jouer sur une guitare que j'ai mise à disposition pour le cours, et vous pouvez également amener la vôtre si vous le préférez.
Le cours peut être donné pour des guitares à 7 cordes/8 cordes.

Pour en finir j'aimerais ajouter à titre plus personnel que je suis professionnel, dévoué à mon métier de musicien et d'enseignant, je suis toujours disponible pour répondre via message, mails, courtes vidéos voire même pour le cours suivant, aux élèves qui me contactent en dehors des cours pour un rappel ou un conseil sur une notion abordée en théorie ou une difficulté rencontrée dans un morceau :)

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

Welcome to my online Piano Class.
I am Maria, and I will happily help you achieve your musical goals, from zero to the top.
I love all student levels, but only towards the CLASSICAL piano, of any eras' works and composers.
Don't be afraid, my lesson is human-friendly 😊
Everything goes step by step! Outside the lesson time, I send you lots of short videos to support your practice through the week.

As each student is different, I focus on each ones' needs and I am always creative in helping you learn through the simplest ways - "if it's easy, it's correct", that's my motto!
My greatest happiness is to watch my students grow, overcome any limit and expand in full potential!

As a result, many of my students have won top prizes at major international competitions, as the IBLA Grand Prize, the Spoleto International Piano Competition, the Bach au Jazz (Lilia Boyadjieva) International Piano Competition and many others. And also, at renown online competitions, as The Royal, the IYMC, the Forte Academy, and many-many others.
So, in case you need a competition or exam preparation, here you are at the right place!
I will help you discover the advanced piano technique, and the ways to achieve your best musical interpretation. Also, very important, I'll help you understand and approach each composers' unique style, and, also, secure your concert / stage presence, with simple and effective solutions for memorisation and control.

I am a very proud piano teacher, as on Jan 11 2026 four young students of mine were awarded by the renown American Competition "The Royal Foundation" and were invited and performed at a Gala at the Carnegie Hall in New York City! Also, these kids were invited to participate to the Juilliard School festival, with masterclass and lessons, a fabulous chance and experience that I wish all young pianists could have!

On Sept 1st 2024 three awarded students of mine were invited to perform at The DiMenna Classical Centre of Music in Manhattan, from another American competition, the International Youth Music Competition.

I wish I can always bring such great opportunities and successes to all of my "piano kids"!

La trompeta: su correcta ejecución técnica y la interpretación de los repertorios universales populares y académicos, está al alcance de todos sin importar su edad. Construiremos una secuencia lógica de estudios que ayudarán a desarrollar los aspectos técnicos. Y abordaremos repertorios acordes a la edad y gusto del estudiante. nos trazaremos un camino con metas a corto, mediano y largo plazo. construiremos una rutina técnica y unos hábitos saludables para progresar correctamente. Además, seleccionaremos de común acuerdo piezas musicales para ir madurando el desarrollo técnico de la mano del crecimiento musical.

Soy trompetista profesional, he participado en Orquestas sinfónicas, bandas de vientos, big band, y pequeños ensambles de cámara y jazz. Tengo amplia experiencia enseñando a niños, jóvenes y adultos.

Para mi es muy importante hacer música desde la primera lección, pues debe haber equilibrio entre la práctica técnica y su aplicación en pequeñas melodías o piezas musicales. No importa el género musical siempre encontraremos repertorio acorde al nivel y el interés de cada estudiante.

Si ya sabes tocar y necesitas perfeccionar alguna pieza o preparar un recital o audición, puedes contar con mi experiencia y acompañamiento también.

Doy clases para todos los niveles, desde niños empezando desde cero hasta alumnos que quieren preparar certificaciones en los Conservatorios, pasando por amateurs o simplemente curiosos de cualquier edad.

Creo firmemente en la importancia de saber leer música y esto es exactamente lo que enseño primero, obviamente adaptando el método a la edad de mis alumnos: saber leer música es conocer un lenguaje más, que, si se aprende bien, no se olvida nunca (¡como montar en bicicleta!) y es una riqueza inestimable. Partiendo de ahí enseño la posición de la mano, del brazo y de todo el cuerpo al piano, los fundamentos de la técnica pianística (dando mucha importancia al movimiento percusivo del dedo y a la distribución del peso), la comprensión del lenguaje musical, la expresión de la personalidad a través del teclado, la búsqueda del toque y el conocimiento del repertorio pianístico.

I offer individual lessons in voice and piano for children, teenagers, and adults of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners.
My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered. Some students want to prepare a specific classical piece, others prefer modern or popular songs, while some simply wish to reconnect with music after years away. I adapt lessons to your goals and create a supportive atmosphere where learning is both effective and enjoyable.
With over 8 years of teaching experience and a diverse international education — from Kyiv music academies to the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart — I bring both depth and variety to my teaching. I have worked as a piano and voice teacher in private art schools in Ukraine as well as in music schools in Germany, guiding more than 200 students of different ages and levels.
Whether you want to build a strong foundation, improve your skills, or discover the joy of music for the first time — I will guide you step by step.

With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.

The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.

If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.

Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Each lesson is tailored to the pace and interest of the student. I am a classically trained singer and multi-instrumentalist. I take a holistic whole body-mind approach when training the voice. I like to reference neuroscience studies in vocal development and the mechanisms of effective learning. I will keep the lesson relaxed, fun and the right amount of challenging. I look forward to gently guiding you on your musical journey

Need a little extra help in music theory? Not sure how to prepare for an ensemble audition? Struggling with tough percussion excerpts? Want advice about pursuing music beyond grade school? I'm here to help! I'm a college student based in Bellingham, WA, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in music performance with a concentration in percussion. My area of expertise is in symphonic/classical music, namely a wind band/orchestra setting. I am studying music theory, ear training, and piano, and I feel comfortable offering help in these subjects through a high school level. I am an experienced performer, so I am comfortable coaching auditions and practice lessons. I have learned a lot of tips and advice from peers and mentors as well as personal experience, and I'd love to assist younger musicians in their journey!

My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered. Some students want to prepare a specific classical piece, others prefer modern or popular songs, while some simply wish to reconnect with music after years away. I adapt lessons to your goals and create a supportive atmosphere where learning is both effective and enjoyable.
With over 8 years of teaching experience and a diverse international education — from Kyiv music academies to the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart — I bring both depth and variety to my teaching. I have worked as a piano and voice teacher in private art schools in Ukraine as well as in music schools in Germany, guiding more than 200 students of different ages and levels.
Whether you want to build a strong foundation, improve your skills, or discover the joy of music for the first time — I will guide you step by step.

Soy un pianista y compositor español (MMus se graduó en Codarts Rotterdam en ambas direcciones) con muchos años de experiencia docente y también muy activo interpretando en diversos contextos.

Doy clases particulares de piano para todos los niveles y estilos (clásico, jazz, latín, new age, pop...), así como clases de solfeo, composición e improvisación. Mis lecciones se distinguen por su dinámica, enfoque práctico y adaptación a las necesidades e intereses del alumno.

Las lecciones (en vivo o en línea) se llevan a cabo en mi estudio al lado del Maastunnel, donde tengo un piano de escenario premium y una configuración de cámara web de alta calidad.

Hablo holandés a un nivel intermedio, que va mejorando cada día.

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.

The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.

If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.

Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Each lesson is tailored to the pace and interest of the student. I am a classically trained singer and multi-instrumentalist. I take a holistic whole body-mind approach when training the voice. I like to reference neuroscience studies in vocal development and the mechanisms of effective learning. I will keep the lesson relaxed, fun and the right amount of challenging. I look forward to gently guiding you on your musical journey

Need a little extra help in music theory? Not sure how to prepare for an ensemble audition? Struggling with tough percussion excerpts? Want advice about pursuing music beyond grade school? I'm here to help! I'm a college student based in Bellingham, WA, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in music performance with a concentration in percussion. My area of expertise is in symphonic/classical music, namely a wind band/orchestra setting. I am studying music theory, ear training, and piano, and I feel comfortable offering help in these subjects through a high school level. I am an experienced performer, so I am comfortable coaching auditions and practice lessons. I have learned a lot of tips and advice from peers and mentors as well as personal experience, and I'd love to assist younger musicians in their journey!
