🎼 Music theory & music theory clearly explained, with examples on the piano

🎼 Music theory & music theory clearly explained, with examples on the piano

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :) For whom? - Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing. - Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams). - Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge. - Anyone who is curious about the language behind music. What can you expect? - Clear explanation, at your own pace. - Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano. - Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart. - Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...). About me I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly. Possible topics: - Learn to read music. - Scales, chords & harmony. - Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop). - Rhythm, time signatures & tempo. - Music theory for producers/songwriters. - Songwriting. - Preparation for exams or entrance tests. Practical - 1-on-1 lessons, online or live (if you don't live too far away). - I provide materials, or we work with what you need. - No prior knowledge required. Lessons adapted to your level. 🎶 Feel free to send me a message with your questions or goals. We'll see how I can best help you.

Accordion Lessons with a Conservatory Teacher. Start with a Trial Lesson.

Accordion Lessons with a Conservatory Teacher. Start with a Trial Lesson.

You’ve Always Wanted to Play the Accordion. Let’s Make It Happen. For you or for your child, it can start with one lesson. Maybe you’ve loved the sound of the accordion for years but never believed you could play it yourself. Maybe you already own one, but online videos have left you with more questions than answers. Or maybe you’re looking for a patient teacher who will help your child enjoy music and feel proud of their progress. Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone. You bring curiosity. I’ll bring guidance, encouragement, and a clear plan. Hi, I’m Nikola Spasic, founder of Accordion Joy Academy, an ArtEZ Conservatory graduate, and a two-time winner of the Dutch National Accordion Competition. I teach live, private online lessons that start with you, your experience, your musical taste, your pace, and the time you have available. You don’t need to read music before starting. You don’t need to feel naturally talented. And you don’t need to have begun as a child. We’ll build the skills together, one manageable step at a time. Here’s how I’ll help you move forward. Personal attention in every lesson. Ask questions, get feedback, and understand how to improve. A clear practice plan. Know what to work on between lessons, with manageable goals that fit your routine. Music you actually want to play. Classical, tango, folk, musette, movie themes, and more—adapted to your level. Support you can revisit. Lesson recordings, demonstrations, and sheet music help you practise with confidence. Patient guidance through the tricky parts. We’ll work on the bellows, bass buttons, and coordination without rushing. Encouragement along the way. See your progress, celebrate small successes, and connect with fellow learners in my private accordion community. For children, lessons make room for curiosity, repetition, and small achievements that build confidence. For adults, they offer a structured way to finally make music part of your life. Your first simple song in 30 days, or your money back. We’ll start with a song suited to your level and build towards playing it from beginning to end. If you don’t get there within 30 days, I’ll refund your money. Your first step is a first one-on-one trial lesson, with no obligation to continue. We’ll talk about your goals, try some practical exercises, and discuss lesson options and prices. Don’t have an accordion yet? Contact me first, and I’ll help you understand what to look for. Send me a message saying, “I’d love to learn”, and tell me whether the lessons are for you or your child. Let’s give that wish a place to start.

Piano Pop/Jazz/Classic by a professional - a comprehensive humanistic approach tailored individually

Piano Pop/Jazz/Classic by a professional - a comprehensive humanistic approach tailored individually

With more than 10 years of professional experience, I’m a musician and educator who believes that learning music should be both challenging and rewarding. Jazz is at the heart of my musical studies and practice, but working across pop, rock, psychedelic, electronic, and reggae has taught me to value the distinctive strengths of every genre. I bring that broad perspective to the projects I create and perform in, and to the way I teach while still focusing more in Jazz and Classical music. I’ve worked with music schools and taught more than 200 private students, from children to seniors. My experience includes students with a wide range of abilities and learning needs, including autistic students and students with Down syndrome. These experiences have deepened my interest in teaching and strengthened my belief in balancing encouragement, empathy, and meaningful challenge. Each lesson combines hands-on practice with musical theory, shaped around the student’s interests, goals, and musical taste. Depending on what you want to explore, lessons may include: Music theory and technique Ear training and performance Composition and improvisation Band or project guidance Effective study methods and repertoire My aim is to help students feel inspired by both music and the process of learning it. Together, we can build healthy study habits, strengthen creativity, and develop the confidence and discipline to learn independently. Lesson frequency, duration, and format are tailored to each student’s goals. Whether you’re beginning your musical journey or looking to deepen your skills, lessons offer a supportive space to explore, grow, and make music that feels meaningful to you.

CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 10 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)

CELLO & MUSIC LESSONS FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS WITH A PROFESSIONAL CELLIST WITH 10 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE (IN PERSON AND ONLINE)

Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it? Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you? Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills? Do you need reinforcement lessons? Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory? Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions? ... These are the private cello lessons you were looking for! My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent. I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher. Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

“ Hernan is not just a good teacher but an exceptional one. I have had only one lesson with him so far, but I got so much from it, that I am looking forward to the next one. He went above and beyond from the beginning. He is very modest and professional in his teaching style, which makes it easy to absorb what he teaches. I would say I am an advanced composition and intermediate orchestration student with decades studying and composing by myself. I had been thinking about taking some advanced online courses available on the internet, but almost all such courses are really work-on-your-own courses. They might have Facebook groups available at best, where you can post questions. But they cannot compare to having a real teacher with the hands-on knowledge guiding you one on one. That one session was packed with so many great insights which I could have never gotten out of any video course or book. Only an insider of orchestration craft and the music composition industry could have such insights. I am looking forward to what I can learn in future lessons. UPDATE AFTER 15 LESSONS: I stopped after 15 lessons because honestly it will take me a long time to process and apply everything Hernan has given me. I will be applying it to my large portfolio of compositions, and I know my compositions are going to be much more mature and well-crafted after I apply what I have learnt to them. I have a completely tranformed attitude and understanding of music composition and orchestration craft. I thought it was simply a matter of learning additional material to get me to the advanced level of the masters. But I have learnt it is a whole world of nuances, subtleties and experience that the masters had a grasp of that allowed them to create at that level. Hernan has given me a good initiation into that world. I have also acquired tools and skills that will allow me to continue the journey on my own. Thank you Hernan. ”

“ I started learning the cello with absolutely no background in music, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the very beginning, Miriam made the process feel approachable and enjoyable. What stands out the most is her ability to adapt her teaching, she always finds a different way to explain something until it truly clicks. You can feel that her approach is shaped by years of experience and by everything she has learned from other musicians, but what makes the difference is how she passes that knowledge on. She doesn’t just teach technique, she shares her passion for music in a way that makes you want to keep going. She is patient, calm, and genuinely supportive, which makes a big difference when you’re starting from zero. I’ve really enjoyed learning the cello so far, and I’m grateful to have her guiding me through this journey. ”

“ Rebekka was an excellent teacher from the very first interaction. During our sessions, she was calm, friendly, and very easy to talk to thus creating a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. She gave me honest, thoughtful feedback that was both helpful and constructive. I felt supported and motivated throughout the conversations we had. Learning with her was such a great experience and I wholeheartedly recommend her! ”
