Music theory lessons and music theory/theory for beginners.

From 36 £ /h

Hey! I love teaching music and especially when it comes to reading notes. Often people want to take up music again or want to learn an instrument but don't know where to start because they know nothing about reading notes and the rich theory behind the beautiful music. That's why I like to lend a hand :) I study at Muda art secondary school as a classical pianist and saxophonist. I have been familiar with the theory of music since I was a child and I really enjoy helping someone else with it!

PIANO

Foundation
First we start with the music theory, melody and chords. These are the essential building blocks for making music.

Style
Next we apply stylistic tools to bring the music to life. This could include jazz chords, blues riffs, walking bass lines, and more.

Skills

We learn the skills (soloing, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, lead sheets, analysis...)

Following this approach, you will finally understand the music that you are playing, and you will be able to apply the techniques to hundreds of other songs.

CVT COACHING

Hi! I am Tine, a singer, voice teacher and vocal coach. I am passionate about helping singers to make the most of their singing practice so they can thrive, grow, and become the powerful performers and communicators the world needs today.

I can help you train your voice and keep it healthy, develop your own unique sound, sing across different styles, manage performance anxiety, be authentic on stage, deliver powerful presentations, make more efficient goals and help you reach them.

It is possible to create all the sounds from all the styles / genres in a healthy way!

CVT METHOD?

Singing is not that difficult and everybody can learn to sing. CVT divideds the singing techniques into four main subjects. By combining elements of these four subjects, you can produce precisely the sounds you want. You will also be able to pinpoint your specific problems and mistakes, and you can focus on which techniques you wish to work on.

The four main subjects are:

The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production
The four vocal modes – to choose the ‘gear’ you want to sing in.
Sound colours – to make the sound lighter or darker.
Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

Hey,
My name is Jasper and besides guitar lessons I also give private lessons in solfège!

For me it is important that you can develop your music knowledge in a motivating private lesson where the focus is on your interests.

In these lessons we can go through all the principles of music theory, from learning to read your first notes to chord theory to scales and beyond.
The lessons are for students of all ages and all levels.

I myself studied at the conservatory in Rotterdam and in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 10 years of experience as a private teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.

Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hope to see you soon!
Jasper

Learning how to play the piano is a goal you can reach only by frequent exercising.
Considering the fact that many pupils and grownups don't have much time to practise, my piano lessons are split in learning new information and also practising together.

Lessons for all ages. Harp, piano, music theory.

I graduated from the KMC Gent and have a career/experience of more than 40 years.
I also followed yoga, mindfulness and kinesiology courses.
The combination of playing an instrument with mindfulness opens up many possibilities.

During the lessons for harp or piano you learn the necessary technique, and musicality is taken into account.
The better the technical skill, the more fluidly the musicality can unfold.
No previous knowledge of ear training is required for the instrument. Gradually you learn to read the notes.

For those who wish, I teach General Musical Education / Slofège.
Here you practice extra on reading, rhythm, general & specific hearing exercises, and theoretical knowledge.

Those who are going to higher music studies and experience a gap in music theory can come to me for specific training. I also guide students for solfège who are taking their entrance exam for KMC and also during their student trajectory. Here is more explanation.

The lessons are individual and adapted to each student.

For toddlers aged 4 to 6 who are learning to play the piano, I follow a method based on a musical fairy tale.
It is a method that meets the child's world of experience.
They discover the possibilities of the instrument and the way of writing songs. Step by step they learn to play and sing songs on the piano.

For harp I can advise to start at 6 years. Fingers at 4 years are still too tender to pluck strings. 6 years is a better age to start harp playing. They play on a small instrument that is appropriate for their age.

For children who start from the age of 7, I use a different method book for piano and the child's world of experience is also taken into account.

For children who start playing the harp at that age, the method book is also aimed at the child.

The method books are therefore tailored to the age and capabilities of the child, teenagers and adults.

For students at the university of applied sciences/KMC; Royal Conservatory of Music who are pursuing professional music studies, the subject 'solfège' is included in the curriculum. In the event of deficiencies in this subject, specific needs are addressed.
Both theory, lecture in G and F clef, performance of rhythm in all time signatures, rhythm dictation, intonation training, intonation dictation, recognition of intervals melodic and harmonic, rhythmic-melodic dictation can be updated to make up for deficiencies.

I can guide the student in both music as a hobby and professionally.

Hello, my name is Silvia!
I am an Italian student of Violin, currently attending the Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice at KASK & Conservatorium in Gent.
I already have experience in teaching music and violin to children, teenagers and young adults. In those occasions, I discovered how much transmitting my love for music to other people - children, teenagers, adults, any age! - is one of my highest goals within my musical career.
I am aware that each student deserves a personal teaching approach, shaped on his/her own nature and attitude.
I will help students strengthen and consolidate their technical skills on the instrument, but we will also have a lot of fun in playing music!

My education:
- Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice course, at KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. Ongoing (2022-2023).
- Master Degree of Music in Performing Arts - Violin, issued by KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. 2020-2022.
- Diploma in Violin (10-year course, old academic system) at the Conservatory of Music “G.P. da Palestrina” in Cagliari, Italy. 2009-2020.

The lessons will be held in English or in Italian.

As a piano teacher, I possess a strong musical ear, extensive piano skills, and a broad knowledge of music and music theory. Thanks to my experience as a music teacher, I can guide students in their musical development in a clear, structured, and inspiring way. I am fluent in sight-reading and can quickly analyze and explain music, which helps me support students efficiently and purposefully during their learning process.

In my lessons, I combine technical development with musical understanding and expression. Patience, clear communication, and a positive learning environment are essential to me. Every student is different, which is why I use a personal approach that pays attention to the pace, level, and goals of each student. My strong motivational skills help students gain confidence in their playing and continue to enjoy learning music.

An important part of my work as a piano teacher is recognizing my students' strengths and weaknesses. By observing and listening carefully, I can provide targeted advice and adapt exercises so that students develop step by step. I help them improve their technique, deepen their musicality, and strengthen their confidence on the instrument.

The primary task in my piano lessons is to motivate students and make them enthusiastic about playing the piano. I want students not only to learn to play, but also to develop a true love for music. Therefore, I pay attention to technical skills as well as musical interpretation and listening skills.

During the lessons, I work systematically on the development of hand and finger technique. This is done through targeted exercises such as scales, arpeggios, chord structures, and other technical exercises that help build flexibility, strength, and control in the fingers. Additionally, I guide students in reading sheet music correctly, understanding rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and musical expression.

I also develop and use adapted teaching materials and exercises that match the student's level and progress. By regularly reviewing and adjusting the exercises and techniques, I ensure that students build a solid technical and musical foundation.

In addition to learning to play existing pieces, I also focus on understanding music. Therefore, students in my lessons are also introduced to elements of music theory, so that they better understand how music is structured. This helps them practice more independently, learn new music faster, and develop a deeper insight into music.

My goal as a piano teacher is to create an inspiring learning environment in which students can develop musically, discover their creativity, and grow step by step as musicians. Playing the piano is not only a technical skill but also an art form through which people can express emotions, ideas, and stories. Therefore, in my lessons, I always try to connect technique, knowledge, and musical experience.

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! :)

Over the past few years I have been fortunate enough to coach young and old in piano playing.
I work on a tailor-made basis and integrate music theory into piano lessons.

Do you want to learn to play a specific piece?
Is learning to play the piano on your bucket list? There is only one way to find out if playing the piano is for you: just do it! No one is too old to learn to play the piano. Learning is very rewarding. Did you know that playing the piano is good for your coordination, memory and concentration?

We work at your pace with a pleasant learning method and make appointments according to your possibilities.

I offer piano and music theory lessons for children, teenagers, and adults of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students. Lessons can focus on classical, jazz, and pop music, depending on the student’s interests and goals.

I have experience teaching in different music schools as well as through private lessons, and I have worked with a variety of piano methods and pedagogical approaches. I also have experience teaching music theory and ensemble classes.

In my lessons, students can learn piano technique, music reading, rhythm, musical expression, improvisation, and music theory. I adapt each lesson to the student’s age, level, and objectives, whether they want to start from scratch, improve their technique, prepare for exams, or simply enjoy playing music.

My goal is to create a supportive and motivating atmosphere in which students feel challenged, make steady progress, and develop confidence at the piano while enjoying the learning process.

In my singing lessons, I pay close attention to healthy vocal technique, breath support, resonance, pronunciation, musicality, and expression. I find it at least as important that you feel free and safe to explore, experiment, and build confidence in your own voice.

Whether you are taking singing lessons for the first time, want to start singing again, want to further develop your voice technically, or want to prepare for a performance, audition, or exam: we always start from your level, your voice, and your personal goals.

My goal is for you not only to learn to sing better, but also to experience more joy, freedom, and self-confidence when using your voice.

Hey! I'm Robin, 29 years old, from Ghent, and a freelance musician.

I graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp in 2020 with a degree in jazz and light music guitar. I will also soon complete the educational Master's program in Music at KASK. I am active as a (freelance) musician and teach at several academies in Flanders.

In my teaching practice, I find it important to tailor music lessons to the student. The structure and content of a typical lesson therefore depend entirely on your interests and goals. I am experienced in teaching guitar within the classical, jazz, pop, and rock genres, as well as music theory within the jazz, pop, and rock genres. I adapt to any age or student profile.

I look forward to guiding you on your musical journey. Feel free to get in touch to discuss the details. See you soon!
