About Me
Hello , so my name is Cormac.I have been writing songs for over 10 years now and have started to finally teach other people how to approach songwriting from both a lyrical and melodic angle. I was born and raised in Belgium to Irish parents and have been singing for most of my life either in choirs at school when i was younger , to bars / cafes and even on the streets of Brussels. Due to the covid situation and the lockdown i started to think about teaching more people online about songwriting and getting to grips with the basics of piano and guitar which , in my opinion are two of the best tools for writing songs.
I look forward to being able to teach you the basics of guitar / piano and / or singing so that you can start to develop your own songwriting skills and also find your own unique sound that you can share with the world!

Piano lessons, taught by a student from the Koninklijk Conservatory BrusselsI am Henry, concert pianist, currently a student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
I have had extensive experience as a soloist on stages and in concerts, as well as experience as a teacher for children and adults with very good results.
The teaching method involves different learning processes in the student;
- recognition of notes on the keyboard
- correct positioning of hands and fingers
- learning to read sheet music
- learning works and resources to interpret them
- basic musical, melodic and rhythmic theory.

Musical composition - Film, Classical, Pop. Without any notion of music theory!✍️ Do you want to learn musical composition but you feel lost and don't know where to start?
🎓 This composition course develops the essential points for learning composition: classical harmony, jazz and pop; construction of a melody, rhythms and grooves, as well as the basics of orchestration!
✅ The course always has a practical purpose. During the course, theory and analysis of works are covered, then I offer exercises to carry out at home with guaranteed weekly follow-up.

Music lessons in piano, cello, harpsichord, for all ages and levels.Lessons in piano, harpsichord, and historical and modern cello, 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 rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for more than 15 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello organ, and piano.

Piano Lessons for beginner and intermediate level studentsAre you willing to learn how to play the piano? In this class, you can learn how to play this incredible instrument, as well as develop music theory knowledge such as reading scores, basic harmony, and rhythm. You will also learn how to develop your own musical ideas and find a personal way to express them!
Students of all ages can contact me to follow private lessons live in Brussels or Antwerp or online (via Zoom). I am a classical/jazz-trained pianist and composer who graduated "magna cum laude" with a Master's degree in Composition at the Royale Conservatoire of Antwerp. As a pianist and music teacher, I have several years of experience in private and public schools in Italy and I'm now teaching at the Royale Conservatoire of Antwerp. I am familiar with the classical and jazz repertoire as well as with 20th and 21st-century music. I'm passionate about introducing this beautiful and exciting field of art and its related knowledge.
If you don't have any music experience or if you already know music and want to develop or study a particular argument, my classes focus on the construction of a personalized study trajectory and methods based on the level, interests, and expectations of the student! The most important thing for me is to keep creativity and interest always stimulated for you to develop or continue to grow your love for music!
