Mind Melodies : online piano lessons to follow your dreams
From 52 € /h
Hello there! 🎶
Yes, you, nice human.
Maybe you’ve been dreaming of playing the piano for a while now. Perhaps you played a little as a child but stopped somewhere along the way. Or maybe you simply love the sound of the piano and the black and white keys and often think: ‘I wish I could do that’.
But then these thoughts appear:
‘I don’t have enough time’
‘The music school is too far away.’
‘What if it’s too difficult for me?’
‘My work schedule doesn’t allow fixed lesson times.’
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait any longer. Now is the right moment to start.
The solution? Online piano coaching.
As a musician and piano teacher, I understand these struggles very well. I personally had a hard time with the rigid structure of traditional music schools, and for a the longest time I didn’t know how to practise efficiently. How do you make progress without feeling overwhelmed? How do you combine learning music with a busy life?
Through years of experience, trial and error, , and a lot of searching, I found my own way, sometimes unconventional, sometimes surprising, but always with a lot of love for music.
I now hold a Master’s degree in Music, and I wrote my thesis on stress in professional musicians. This research not only influenced my way of playing, but also my teaching approach. I don’t believe music education should be stressful or intimidating. Instead, it should be supportive, motivating, and adapted to the person behind the instrument-while still actually learning something.
What can I offer you?
One-to-one piano lessons, just like at a music school — but with so much more freedom.
Flexibility that fits your life You learn from your own home, your own safe space. My agenda is online, and every week you choose a lesson time that works for you. Late-night shifts? No problem. Babysitter cancelled? We adapt. You stay relaxed.
Personal guidance and ongoing feedback Between lessons, you can send me recordings of your playing. If you get stuck, you don’t have to wait a whole week to ask questions. You receive support exactly when you need it.
Learn independently, at your own pace Prefer a more self-guided approach? I also offer a beginner video course, where you learn step by step. Taught by a real teacher — not a computer — with the option of personal guidance whenever you need it.
Relaxation, breathing & mindfulness in music
What makes my lessons special is the attention to relaxation and mental well-being. Music is not only physical; it is extremely connected to the mind and the breath. That’s why I incorporate elements of meditation, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques into my teaching.
Especially when preparing for a performance or a stressful moment, these tools can make a huge difference.
For example: before a concert, nerves often show up as shallow breathing, tension, or racing thoughts. I teach simple breathing exercises that help you calm your nervous system, focus your attention, and return to the music instead of the fear.
By integrating relaxation and mindfulness into your piano practice, you don’t just improve your technique — you build confidence, focus, and a healthier relationship with music-and yourself .
Why choose my lessons?
Because I combine:
professional musical training ( I’m not only a pianist, also a bassoonist traveling with orchestra )
personal experience with performance stress (Yes, I was stressed too!)
a flexible, modern teaching approach
and a deep belief that learning music should feel supportive and joyful
My goal for you is progress, confidence, and enjoyment.
Ready to begin your musical journey? Together we’ll explore your goals and find a way of learning piano that truly fits your life.
I look forward to meeting you and making music together.
Available in English, Dutch and French.

About Me
Diedelinde Linskens, born in Bruges on 16 June 2001, has been fascinated by music since childhood.
She learned to read music at the age of 5 and, a year later, her first piano lessons brought her great joy.
At the age of 8, she started taking music lessons, studying piano, bassoon, contrabassoon, viola and singing (opera). Piano and bassoon proved to be her great passions and, after obtaining her baccalaureate, she began higher music studies at the age of 16.
In her first year, she combined piano and bassoon at LUCA in Leuven, Belgium, where she graduated with honors at the end of the year. She then decided to devote herself entirely to the bassoon at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium. There she gained considerable experience in chamber music ensembles, and her participation in numerous orchestral projects was also a real added value.
In Brussels, she also learned to play the baroque bassoon, and the enormous appeal that this instrument exerted on her led her to study the baroque bassoon first as a secondary instrument, but after a year, she opted for a full training as a baroque bassoonist, and she is taking lessons from Mr Javier Zafra at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, Belgium.
In 2022, she transferred to the HEAR in Strasbourg, France, to study the bassoon, where two years later she obtained her master's degree in bassoon under the supervision of Mr Rui Lopes. She continues to be supervised by this teacher today.
She combined her master's degree in bassoon in Strasbourg with a bachelor's degree, then a master's degree in baroque bassoon with Mr Javier Zafra at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, where she is currently in her second year of a master's degree in baroque bassoon.
Making music together as a chamber music ensemble gives Diedelinde the energy she needs to live a radiant life.
While maintaining an active concert life, Diedelinde has developed a rich teaching practice within several music schools, including Academie Utopia in Aalst, the École de Musique du Pays de la Zorn in Hochfelden, France, and École Michael, a Waldorf school in Strasbourg, where she accompanies eurythmics classes.
These experiences have deeply shaped her pedagogical vision. She is particularly drawn to Waldorf and Montessori approaches, which emphasize freedom, respect for the child's inner rhythm, and learning through experience. Although she does not follow one method rigidly, these philosophies strongly influence her way of teaching piano, both online and in person.
