I have been learning the violin and piano since 5 years old, and am currently taking a bachelor's in Music Performance in Violin, at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp.
Students of any age are welcome, and I have special experience with beginner and younger students, having given a lot of lessons in piano and music theory.
I teach in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and basic Dutch.

The individual piano lessons are personalized and tailored to the progress and learning ability of each student. Emphasis is placed on developing good posture and ease of movement at the early stage. We will then continue to revise and enhance technique while taking on a more challenging repertoire as they progress.
Lessons are stress-free and I always try to provide a safe and calm environment for an engaging and fun class!
Games for little kids are an absolute must!

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a question! :)

About Me
Hi, my name is Sara! Nice to meet you!
I am a Portuguese violinist studying at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Music has been a central point of my life since I could remember, and teaching is a big passion too.
I have taught music theory for many years, especially to younger students and I have been for a few years teaching violin and piano, from beginner to intermediate students.
I am a very creative person, interested in helping others grow musically through an engaging and stress-free class environment:)
Are you interested in diving into the music world? Are you unsure how to start or how to navigate through it? Let me help you!
Together we can explore the violin or the piano and most importantly, help you improve and enjoy your instrument and music!!

Looking forward to seeing you!

Are you interested in improving your English skills? Or simply practicing your communication?
Or maybe you want to learn as a beginner!
All are accepted and welcome with me!
I have an A grade Advanced Cambridge English level and have been speaking English since I was three years old. For the past 3 years, I have been living abroad, which improved my English even more, as I had to communicate solely with the language.
I have given English lessons for years, to beginners (of all ages, including children) to advanced students who want to expand their vocabulary or simply converse.

The lessons are stress-free and I will focus on your specific needs:) so you can learn and improve in English fast and easily!

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Cello Lessons for all levels:
My main goal with my teaching is to share my passion for music with my students. I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello. Besides the discipline one learns, Music-making in itself is fulfilling!! :)

Conservatory Preparation:
In my experience as a musician living and working in Belgium for the past 9 years, I have noticed a gap in the musical education of young Belgian music students transitioning from Music academies into Conservatories. Oftentimes, these young music students seeking to enter conservatories do not possess the necessary skill level to enter higher education in Music. Through my private teaching, I intend to bridge this gap by catering specifically (though not exclusively) to these students. I strongly believe that there is a huge demand for this type of teaching which I am capable of providing.

The most important thing in music is to have fun. I can teach you several genres of music such as classical music, jazz, film music, pop...

How do I learn to play the piano as quickly as possible?
A question that I am asked every day. The answer is simple:

- Find a fantastic piano mentor
- Practice regularly - not for long, but efficiently
- Playing the piano is auditory, but also visual
- Note learning lessons are unnecessary in this digital age - use the right apps

My piano lesson focuses on:

- Finger Flexibility / Keyboard Insight / Understanding Harmony
- 50% technique - 50% fun (although technique practice can also be fun!)

Pianistic greetings!

In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.

At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.

During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.
It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect.

Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation.
Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best.

As a teacher I am familiar with different styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
There is also the option to work from improvisations.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

I am a graduate of the Antwerp Conservatory of Music and have been playing the cello for 20 years. Despite my young age, since 2012, after winning many auditions, I have played in orchestral projects in 18 European countries. I regularly participated in music courses and workshops.
Currently, I work as a freelancer and am an active concert musician and private teacher.
From my own experience, I know how important it is to practise sensibly and effectively at home, which is why I am happy to help young cello students who cannot count on the help of their parents, who are musicians, in this regard. I also work with adults who want to realise their dreams or return to skills they once acquired.
