Music lessons in piano, cello, harpsichord, for all ages and levels.

Lessons in piano, historical and modern cello, and harpsichord, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, coordination, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.
In my teaching, I try to teach the students how to teach themselves, because the best teacher for you is yourself.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege and history of music, if the student wishes.
For my private students, I organize concerts 1-2 per year.
Fluent in English and Russian and Bulgarian, intermediate in Nederlands und Deutsch.
I have been teaching for more than 15 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, and probably more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello and piano.

Extra information

Usually, I prefer to teach at the student's location. But for those, for whom this is not possible, I could teach in another location near Dansaert, the center of Brussels, depending on the availability of that place, but this will increase the price.

Location

About Me

Playing musical instruments is one of the most efficient methods for the development of intelligence, discipline, concentration, sensitivity, and expressibility, especially for the young. My teaching is for those, who want to develop these qualities. For more intermediate-level students I use the repertoire they play in practice to teach analysis of music, harmony, and also a historical perspective to the works they study, recognition of styles. I guide my students to self-analyze their playing, to define difficulties, and to work out by themselves solutions - how to become with the time their own teachers.
For the better-progressing students, I organize small concerts.
Piano, harpsichord, modern cello, baroque cello, music theory (harmony).

Education

Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, Master's degree Baroque cello, Bachelor's degree Harpsichord. Master's degree in violoncello from Bulgarian Academy of Music.

Experience / Qualifications

Teaching private piano and violoncello more than 10 years in Brussel. 1 year teaching in two music schools in New York, USA.

Reviews (3)

I have just started cello as an adult learner. Boris is an excellent teacher for me. Introducing the fundamentals with patience and adapted to my capabilities. He is clear in his instructions and is very knowledgeable about the history of the cello. I would recommend him as a teacher for novice adult learners.
Pleasant, calm and professional piano teacher. My daughter is very satisfied. She immediately felt at ease, which further fueled her love for the piano.

Unlock Your Musical Potential with a Master Piano Tutor: Lessons for All Levels and Ages (4+)
Looking for a passionate and professional piano teacher for your child or for yourself? My lessons are designed to bring out the joy of music and enhance creativity, while also gradually improving technique based on age and individual abilities. As a dedicated and experienced teacher with a Master's Degree in Piano Performance and Pedagogy, I take teaching seriously and am committed to providing effective lessons tailored to each student. I offer different approaches to suit the individual needs and goals of every student. Playing an instrument should be a delightful experience and that's exactly what my lessons are all about! PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN (3+) Are you a parent eager to introduce your little one to the wonderful world of music? My lessons are designed to be playful and engaging. Using specially adapted piano books, I'll guide your child through an exciting musical adventure, complete with stories and new songs to learn. We'll explore music through singing, movement, and rhythm, helping your child develop a deep and lasting love for music. SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN The lessons are more than just learning songs. Children will explore a piano book filled with stories, characters, engaging music, and games. Depending on preferences we can dive into playing music with accompaniment recordings, which allows children to immerse themselves in a complete musical experience. Theory learning is included. TEENAGERS Are you looking for a piano teacher who will encourage and support your teenager's passion for music? I offer an accelerated piano book specifically designed for this age group, allowing your child to progress quickly in their piano skills. If your child already has experience in playing the piano, I build on their existing knowledge and continue to expand their skills and creativity. I understand that every student has their own goals, whether it's playing for fun or aspiring to be a professional musician. That's why I adapt my lessons to fit your child's intentions. By offering a variety of musical pieces for them to choose from, and being open to their suggestions, I believe that playing a piece they enjoy is more effective in keeping them motivated. ADULTS Are you worried that you're too old to start learning the piano? Don't be! It's never too late to pick up a new skill, and as an adult, you have unique advantages over children when it comes to learning music. You have greater focus, a better grasp of music theory, and a strong motivation to succeed. Do you have a favorite song that you've always wanted to play but thought it was too difficult? There are plenty of classical and popular melodies that have been arranged for beginners, so you can start playing them right away. I'll also recommend a piano book specifically designed for adult learners, which will help you build up your skills at a comfortable pace.

Bastien
Harmony and Classical Writing
This applied music theory course is for any passionate musician, regardless of level. It aims to broaden his musical knowledge and abilities by understanding music as a whole. The goal is to be able to decode and understand how a music (not only of classical style, but also pop, jazz, rock, electro, ...) was composed, and to be able to use interesting harmonies oneself. and solid in a personal composition / production. It is made up of two main topics: * Harmony (building chords, understanding chord diagrams, learning to Harmonize a given melody, the possibility or not of using these Harmonies in a given style, etc.). But also understand the key, how to build a scale, how to navigate between different keys, how to transform a classic chord suite into another style? Harmony is a course open to all and all levels, no prerequisites to have. Any passionate musician will find interest in it, that's guaranteed. * Writing is a much more targeted course, which is already an introduction to classical composition. In this branch, we will develop the rules of classical writing (parallel fifths and octaves, false relations etc, ...) within the framework of an exercise based on a given melody or bass (in the first case it will be necessary to invent harmonization and compose a bass, in the second, it will be necessary to invent the harmonization and the melody). This course can also be used by academy or conservatory students who wish to prepare for the writing exam, or simply to deepen their knowledge.
