Hello!

Do you love music and you want to enjoy it as an amateur? It's time to prepare for auditions.
The lessons are adapted depending on your level and your goals. I love teaching and I have 10 years of experience teaching children and adults.

I am responsible for instructing students with the skills they will need to become successful musicians in their own right. This includes the basics of teaching how to play an instrument, as well as fundamental concepts such as tempo, pitch, and rhythm.

I love music and would like to pass this on to make the music theory more fun for the student, but also to ensure that children and / or adults learn to experience music as fun.

I give nice assignments and provide fun exercises, with which you can learn in a playful way, I also give evaluations and reports so that the motivation and enthusiasm remain.
Every student receives a reward from me so that the learning atmosphere remains optimal.

I am piano docent in Conservatory and performing pianist.
I give piano lessons to students of all ages and levels. Are you an enthusiastic beginner or do you want to pick up again after some time?
Toddlers and preschoolers from 3 years old can take their first steps in the world of the piano. Young adults and adults are also very welcome!

The piano lessons take place at my home in Berchem I live a short distance from Berchem station .

During the lessons I will take into account specific wishes, such as preference for classical or popular music. I use a piano method suited to your age. No prior knowledge of music is required.

I will open the world of music through the basics of piano playing. You don't know where to start? No worries, in this class you will learn everything about fingers, pianos and posture!
My goal is to encourage you to pursue your passion now, or to bring out the best in you.

I have been active as a pianist for more than 25 years. I graduated as a Master of Music.

imagination, and instill a love of learning.” Brad Henry

Hallo allemaal!

Muziekles voor alle leeftijden en niveaus. Tijdens de les maken wij verschillende ritmische oefeningen, zingen we, leren noten in verschillende creatieve manieren en spelen we piano.

Professioneel pianiste met Master diploma conservatorium en lerarenopleiding met ruim 20 jaar ervaring enerzijds als uitvoerend musicus, anderzijds als docent piano aan verschillende muziekacademies.

Voor wie?

Jonge kinderen: Je bent nieuwsgierig naar al die witte en zwarte toetsen, maar te jong voor de muziekacademie?

Tieners en jongeren: Je wil graag muziek spelen als hobby, gewoon voor jezelf en voor de fun, maar je hebt geen zin in extra theorielessen of examens? Wat dacht je van pianoles op maat? Op jouw tempo, zonder verdere verplichtingen!

Volwassenen: Je wil graag piano leren spelen zonder 2 of 3 avonden per week in de muziekacademie te spenderen? Je hebt ooit al gespeeld en je wilt de draad terug oppikken? Volg les op je eigen niveau, wanneer het jou past.

Ik heb jarenlange ervaring als pianiste en pianolerares en maak daarbij gebruik van mijn eigen ontwikkelde en bewezen leermethode. Ik kan je verzekeren dat als je bij mij pianoles volgt je binnen een korte termijn zal vooruitgang boeken.

Would you like to learn to play the flute? Are you applying for any conservatoire? Would you like to be a professional musician? Do you want to have fun learning music?
I am here to help you! I studied music in Spain, Poland and now at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp. I have been teaching for so many years and I adapt the lessons to all the levels and to what would you like to improve.

I teach bass guitar which is my main instrument of 12 years, to all ages. I have experience mainly teaching it to beginners and intermediates. The classes are structured to cover basics of bass playing in terms of both technique and theory. One may expect to have exercises as weekly assignments. These exercises are weekly put together by me using a variety of bass method books. The weight of music theory, harmony and ear training within what we cover can be rearranged according to the needs and expectations of the student.

This course is for anyone who wants to learn reading music or improve their music theory skills. It is also intended for students in academies who want a support course.
It is possible to work on hearing exercises (dictations, intervals), reading (7 keys if necessary), rhythm, singing and transposition for the most advanced students.

Hi,

I'm Martine. As a child I really enjoyed solfège - as the only one in the class, I think :) -. Later, harmony aroused my interest. Some people think it is a necessary evil, it makes me warm, and especially then: talk about it. Music is first and foremost a feeling, but a basic knowledge of music theory can help you so much!
--->

- 🎹 Do you have trouble reading sheet music?
- Do you often get stuck while practicing because you don't know your notes and rhythms enough?
- Is that knowledge of music theory really far away?
- Don't have time for weekly solfège lessons at the music academy?
- Need a little help deciphering a score?
- Or do you want to prepare for the new school year?

- Do you want to learn chords?
- Train your hearing?
- Accompany yourself on piano while you sing like crazy?
- Would you like to write your own music, but don't know where to start?
- Or do you want to learn to improvise but have no knowledge of harmony?

- Are you unsure about playing together?
- Do you lack self-confidence and freedom as a self-taught or starting musician?
- Do you feel limited in your creativity because you lack a theoretical basis?

I am happy to help you with:

- ✅ Practical note recognition exercises: Short, effective sessions that improve your reading skills.
- ✅ Basic understanding of chords: Understand how chords work and how to use them in improvisation.
- ✅ Clear explanation of basic harmony: Understand the structure of music and learn to create your own compositions with confidence.
- ✅ Techniques for improvisation: Develop methods to spontaneously create melodies and solos.
- ✅ Personal guidance, and useful tips for rapid progress: Customized lessons that match your pace and learning style.

Experience:
I graduated from Studio Herman Teirlinck (Master Kleinkunst), and then studied piano at the Antwerp Jazz Studio. I also attended workshops with Jef Neve, Kenny Werner, Bram Vermeulen, Amina Figarova, among others... In addition to fifteen years of private piano lessons (children & adults), I supervise songwriting workshops for adults & young people (Summer Academy, Zennetour finalists...) and gave I have been teaching piano for many years at the youth music school of the Halewijnstichting (Berchem).
My friends think I'm a creative jack-of-all-trades. I like to do many things: making music, writing songs, making theater, composing music & soundscapes for theater, playing piano in different bands, writing, drawing, illustrating, singing... Many styles also appeal to me in the field of music: Classical, jazz, chansons, pop, ...

🎼 Ready to improve your skills?
Stop putting your artistic talent second and come to me for personal guidance!

For whom?
All ages from 6 years, beginners & intermediate level.
(Solfège knowledge is allowed, but certainly not necessary.)
We use the piano as a basic instrument. A keyboard at home is useful, but not a must.

When?
By appointment according to availability.
You can choose one lesson, a few lessons, or a short intensive course.

Where?
In Antwerp (Kiel), near the Singel, Tentoonstellingswijk...

I look forward to welcoming you here.

Martine

Hello! My name is Marcos, I am a clarinetist and I live in Brussels. I offer private lessons in person (they can be at your place or mine) or online.
I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level.

Music is a universal language, and learning it can bring creativity, discipline, and joy into your life. I offer personalized lessons in piano, percussion, and music theory for students of all ages and levels. Beginners will learn the fundamentals of rhythm, melody, and notation, while more advanced students can focus on technique, performance, and interpretation. I emphasize both technical precision and musical expression, helping students become confident performers and thoughtful musicians. For percussion, I cover rhythm training, ensemble playing, and instrument technique; for piano, we explore scales, chords, and repertoire; for theory, I provide a strong foundation in harmony, reading, and analysis. My lessons are interactive and enjoyable, designed to spark curiosity and love for music while also achieving measurable progress. Whether you are preparing for an exam, learning for fun, or aiming for professional development, I will help you grow as a musician step by step.
