Piano Lessons for beginner and intermediate level students

From 31 £ /h

Are 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!

Monday and Tuesday I can teach only online. I can give lesson in person in Antwerp only on Wednesday.

I'm a professional violinist specialised in solo and chamber music playing (holding master degrees in both specializations). I have been playing a lot of symphonic music working with Animato Foundation Orchestra, Davos Festival Camerata, Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra, Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble Orchestral de Bruxelles, Palm Beach Atlantic Symphony Orchestra, Orkester Norden.
Giving a violin class I like focusing on the technique, quality of the sound, attentive listening, and an interpretation search. I like discovering the personality of the student and adapt my teaching method depending on that.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

I am Thijs (30) an experienced drummer and musician, with a wide range of musical interests. Studying jazz drums under the wings of Lander Gyselinck at the KASK/Conservatory in Ghent. In addition, I have followed masterclasses and lessons from/with Joey Baron (US), Kendrick Scott (US), Corey Fonville (US) and Stéphane Galland (BE). I am also active in various bands/groups.

My lessons, depending on the level, focus on both the fundamental building blocks of drumming and music as a whole. These building blocks together with the student's interests form the curriculum, so that it meets the student's wishes as best as possible. I also teach music theory/music theory. Some aspects of this are also offered during drum lessons.

In the end, it's you who will enjoy it the most, so that's what I'm focusing on! For questions or more information, don't hesitate and send me a message. Let's kick it!

FR / Moi : Je joue du banjo depuis 6 ans, seul ou en petit groupe. Je fais régulièrement des concerts. J'anime des ateliers musicaux depuis 4 ans et je donne des cours de banjo depuis 1 an.

Les Cours : Vous apprendrez la technique du clawhammer, et non le picking bluegrass. C'est une technique utilisée dans le banjo 5 cordes traditionnel américain. J'ai un grand répertoire de morceaux au banjo et de chansons, c'est ce que nous apprendrons ensemble. Nous pouvons aussi apprendre un morceau de votre choix du répertoire country blues.

En suivant ce lien vous entendrez un morceau typique du clawhammer, qui sera probablement le premier morceau que vous apprendrez avec moi : https://youtu.be/VwlOO8RG-og?t=208

ENG / Me : I play banjo for 6 years, alone or with a small band. I gig regularly. I conduct music workshops for 4 years and give banjo lessons for 1 year.

I have a large repertoire of banjo songs and tracks, that's what we are going to learn together. You can also ask me to learn a specific song in the country blues field.

In the youtube video attached to this announcement, you can hear Clarence Ashley playing The Cuckoo in the tuning of G D G C D (sawmill key or mountain minor) which is the tuning we are gonna use.
