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.

The flute it’s a quite complex instrument, where the challenge is to find the balance between all the parameter, such as posture(in order to learn how to play fast passage), lips and everything concerning breathing technique(in order to get the best clear and powerful sound).
It’ my job to guide the student in order to let him/her find that stability in order to get best results possible.

I am an enthusiastic professional violinist and teacher. I can teach you classical violin, folk songs from Greece and Middle East, as well as your favourite pop tunes and tunes of almost any other music genre!

Being well classically trained, I can help you build a solid violin technique and prepare you for giving your best during important music occasions such as exams, auditions, concerts etc.

Also, being member of pop - oriental bands with concerts around Belgium, France and Greece, having played with several classical and
contemporary music ensembles and orchestras, as well as coming from a family of musicians, my lessons are ideal for students who want to learn to be at ease when they eventually make music with others. :)

All pieces can be taught either by ear, music scores or BOTH!! Teaching you basic and/or more advanced music theory to facilitate your violin learning if you don't know yet how to read and write music, can be easily done!

My personal experience with music psychology and body movement techniques for musicians have enriched my knowledge and teaching skills. Extra attention is given during the lessons to not only help you build a strong and steadfast technique and develop your music ear, but also to acquire a confident presence and attitude for when you play for others! All is being done with gentle care towards your body's physiology and feelings, and consideration of your learning style. :))

Finally, I'm at your disposal in between the lessons, answering to any questions you might have and offering you support and guidance with your new insights! :D

Since I was 4 years old, piano has taken a big place in my life and heart, because my father has taught me ever since.
I am extremely excited to share my passion with interested people, whatever their age!
I pay a lot of attention to the position at the piano, so that no injuries occur. I also talk a lot about musical lines and how to produce a good sound on the piano. If you have not taken solfège, I am very happy to help with that as well along with the piano study.
Playing the piano is very personal for everyone, both technically and musically. That is why I think it is very important to look for the best solutions and adapt to each individual student, so that he or she can create his or her own bond with music.
I am currently finishing my Masters with Jan Vermeulen at Luca School of Arts, Leuven.

Are you young or old, a beginner/intermediate/advanced musician and would you like to take violin and/or solfège lessons or tutoring? Then you've come to the right place!
My name is Lisa and I obtained a Master's degree for Violin in 2024 with Lilia Umnova at the conservatory LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens. Since September 2024 I have started a Master's degree for Chamber Music at the conservatory LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens, still in the class of Lilia Umnova.
I can easily teach in the Merchtem and Leuven region.
On my profile you can find more information about myself and how I work in the lessons.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us a message!

Reading, understanding, playing and writing music.
I offer lessons for children and adults, no matter the level. In my lessons, in addition to learning technique and the instrumental repertoire (clarinet), you learn the language of music in all its facets (solfeggio, rhythmics, dictation, harmony, elements of composition).
The method I use varies for each individual student and depends not only on his/her level, but on what interests him/her most and what serves his/her artistic growth.

I am Ezio, I am Italian and I moved to Belgium to continue my studies.
I have a degree in clarinet, I also studied conducting for wind orchestras, musical propaedeutics and also theatre and theatre therapy.
I have worked with youth bands and taught in two music schools in Sicily. I am always interested in new methodologies and everything that can make learning not only functional, but also a real pleasure.

Are you a beginner who has started to learn guitar on his own, and can't see the trees for the wood anymore? Or do you already have some experience and want to learn something new? Then you've come to the right place!

About myself:
I have been playing both guitar and bass guitar for 8 years. I also have a solid foundation in music theory. I took lessons with Kristof Neyens (rock school leuven) for several years, and now I would like to share my experience.

Classes:
Depending on your preference, we can draw up a lesson plan together with individual assignments. I also try to work as much as possible with the genres that you like to listen to yourself, this is of course more motivating (after all, you don't want to try to teach Mozart to a Metal fan ;))

My approach is certainly not like that of the 'music theory' at the academy. From your first lesson you will immediately start playing songs. I only use music theory if it is really necessary or if you would like to delve into it.

Practical:
I follow distance education so I can actually go at any time of the week, online lessons are also a possibility.

If you contact me and tell me which times suit you, we can certainly find a fixed time together!

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, Pro Tools, Garageband, Logic Pro X, .. 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 piano for about 15 years now after studying Pop & Jazz, and I've performed in a variety of genres. I also have a diploma in Electronic Music Production from Point Blank Music School, and I'm currently working as a keyboardist and producer for the pop group. I primarily play pop music, but we can certainly explore other genres as well.

For piano lessons, I recommend 30 minutes so we can cover new topics each lesson, which you can then practice at home. For producing/mixing, 60 minutes is more suitable if you want to master it faster, but you can certainly learn it in 30 minutes per lesson.

Interested? Feel free to contact me, and we'll schedule a time. I offer lessons both at home in Haacht and on-site in the Leuven area (or online).

Playing the cello is a skill that takes some time to learn. We will get through lots of pieces and do a lot of playing in classes. In some lessons, if necessary, we will learn about music theory as well, which helps us read music better and get to know our pieces better!

Have you always wanted not just to play notes, but to truly understand music?
Music is not mechanical training.
It is thinking, feeling, structuring, imagining, and being free at the same time.

I am a musicologist, composer, pianist, organist, and harpsichordist with two academic degrees (Composition & Musicology), more than 10 years of teaching experience, and an active international concert career across Europe. My students study at prestigious music academies, perform on European stages, and develop artistic identity and confidence.
I combine academic precision with creative freedom and a supportive atmosphere.

Each student receives an individual learning plan. I adapt my method depending on age, level, and goals — whether it is:
- first musical steps at 4–6 years old
- hobby lessons for adults
- serious professional preparation
- exam or competition preparation

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and even neuroaesthetics research, I help students:
- understand how music works
- develop musical thinking
- improve memory and artistic expression
- build a technical foundation without tension
- gain confidence in performance

Send me a message — and we will create your personal musical path.

Music is not only about playing.
It is about discovering yourself through sound.

Hello, I am Laís!
I am a pianist and dedicated piano teacher with advanced academic training in both Brazil and Belgium, currently completing my second Master’s degree at LUCA School of Arts under the guidance of Sylvia Thereza, a respected pianist and former student of the great Maria João Pires. My musical journey has also taken me to Sweden through an exchange program, and I have been fortunate to receive several prestigious scholarships along the way, supporting both my artistic and academic development.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience, including 6 years working extensively with online students from different backgrounds and levels. Throughout this time, I have helped students achieve meaningful goals, including successful admission into a German music university. My approach is both structured and flexible: I focus on building a solid technical foundation while nurturing musical expression, always adapting to each student’s pace and personality.

Lessons take place mostly in the heart of Leuven, and I also offer online lessons to students anywhere in the world. My online teaching is known for its high quality, clarity, and effectiveness, creating a focused and engaging learning environment where students can make real and consistent progress.

I aim to create a warm, supportive space where students feel comfortable, motivated, and inspired to grow musically :-)
Lessons can be given in English or Portuguese. Get in touch for a first lesson!
