I will be happy to start or deepen with you the learning of the recorder or the transverse flute. Like Obélix, I fell into the pot when I was little: my father is a pianist and my mother a music teacher. I started early musical awareness and recorder lessons at the Waterloo academy. At 8 years old, a single instrument was no longer enough for me and I started playing the transverse flute. I obtained my Bachelor's degree with distinction in Brussels and then left for an enriching Erasmus year in Weimar in Germany. I finished my course in recorder at Lemmens with Bart Spanhove, where I studied 4 years in musical humanity. I am currently in master 2 for the transverse flute at the imep with Denis-Pierre Gustin. Since entering the conservatory in 2016, I started giving lessons alongside my studies. I taught musical awareness in schools in Waterloo, I also gave recorder and transverse flute lessons in Lembeek in addition to leading several instrumental groups. Since September 2022 I have been teaching at the Apko academy and in Berchem-Saint-Agathe. I don't have a favorite methodology other than the "positive attitude". I have given many lessons with very different students and with equally different expectations, I adapt as best as possible to your wishes and your situation, hoping to give enriching and fulfilling lessons. Having many children students, I created my own recorder method, for the most advanced, I am currently working on creating a technical exercise book. I teach in sessions of one hour or 1/2 hour for the youngest. All ages are welcome as well as all levels and styles. I hope to see you very soon to share my passion with you.
Music theory is the basis of music, whatever the instrument, a good knowledge of the theory and practice of music is an asset that will help you progress in learning your instrument. A good knowledge of music theory will also help you to read "sight" or decipher your scores. With good training and several tips, I will give you the keys to performing these moments, sometimes considered "painful" by many. students, with ease! I also offer my help with remedial lessons for children or adults having problems in group music theory lessons at the academy or other private schools. Group lessons offer little opportunity to speak one-on-one with a student to overcome certain difficulties; a regular or occasional individual lesson can remedy these problems. I finished my entire cycle of music theory at the academy, as well as 4 additional years of advanced music theory at the Lemmensinstituut during my musical humanities, I then obtained my "solfege prize" in my first year of Bachelor at the Brussels Conservatory . I have also given a lot of instrumental, theoretical and group lessons, in these, certain aspects of theory and music theory come up regularly with my students, they always find these moments very enriching. I adapt to the student's materials and books if necessary but I can also bring my own exercises and books. I offer these lessons individually or semi-collectively (max. 3 students), you choose the duration that suits you best: 30, 45 or 60 minutes depending on your desires and your concentration. In addition, I also offer musical awakening lessons for the little ones from 3 years old. Music is a great asset for the development of a child, I acquired a great experience during three years where I taught musical awakening in different schools in Waterloo (the communal school of Chenois, Mont Saint Jean) . The groups were made up of 8 to 10 kindergarten children. In these classes, I always proceed in the same way for the structure of the class, I start with a little warm-up where the children become aware of their bodies and the environment, I then continue with 2-3 exercises working on an aspect of music. like the rhythm, the voice, the melody, the instruments, ... and I always end up with a little game with percussion instruments or a musical story. As for music theory, I offer these courses in individual or semi-collective ways (max. 3 students). *How about a little activity for siblings?* Classes can last 15 or 30 minutes depending on the number of children and their ages.
