About Me

I am a Jazz, soul-pop saxophone player ...and a music teacher!

As a musician for as long as I can remember, I have always been keen to teach others what I have learned.

I am a saxophonist, songwriter, and soul-jazz singer. I have a classical piano training and I play drums too. This allows me to play along with my students and to surround them very early in an inspiring musical atmosphere.

To be beautiful, music must be conceived clearly and simply, whatever the musician's level. It is also quite simply that it must be taught and learned.

Education

Diploma of the academy of music theory and classical piano
I studied at the Brussels Conservatory with Steven Houben, and with Erwin Vann in the Dutch-speaking section. Private lessons with Kurt Van Herck.
Some lessons with Chris Potter in New York in 1999.

Experience / Qualifications

I've been teaching in private schools and at home since 1993!

Here's a tiny professional bio of myself ;-)

LAURENT is a saxophone player, a singer-songwriter from Brussels,
mainly in the Soul Jazz idiom. Self-taught musician at first, he also learned with the best musicians around, from Brussels to New-York. For about 20 years, he’s been successfully directing his own projects, featuring the most soulful jazz musicians of Belgium and abroad. He played a major role in the great bands of Daniel Romeo and Marc Lelangue.
The free-lance part of his career let him play with names such as Fred Wesley, Boney M, George Mc Crae, Percy Sledge, and on a very special evening with James Brown.

Joseph
Piano Lessons in Brussels for All Levels and Genres (age 6+)
Have you always wanted to try playing the piano, but never found the time? Maybe you have played in the past but are looking for new input? Looking for a music teacher that is friendly, experienced, down to earth, and competent in all genres, from classical and jazz music to rock and pop? My name is Joseph, I'm 28 years old and live in Brussels. I am offering individual, or duo, piano lessons (or music theory, harmony, combo, etc). I have a master degree in classical music and one in jazz, and 10 years experience playing live music, recording, and teaching. I have taught pupils of all ages and levels. I am a firm believer that a teacher must adapt his method and approach to every new student.

Umberto
Drum lessons in English and Italian, all levels welcome!
Hi everybody! I am Umberto, Italian professional drummer based in Brussel. I have a Bachelor in Jazz Drums and I have just achieved my Master in Jazz Drums at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel. I have 8 years of experience in music teaching, both private and in schools. I would like to teach drums and share with you this musical world. About the lessons, my method really changes according to the needs of the student. It's very important for me to know a student and what he/she wants to achieve in order to create a specific program that suits him/her. All levels are welcome: from the beginner to the more advanced, I am open to give lessons to everyone who wants to explore the drums and the beauty of music. I am ready to work on all aspects of the drums: techniques, rudiments, grooves, fills, timing, musicianship. As a drummer I have a lot of experience in many different music genres, both teaching and playing: from jazz to funk, from rock to pop, and also folk music in case you want to have a more percussive approach. Last but not least, my idea as a teacher is to create a friendly enviroment: having fun is the most important thing in order to learn in a natural and effective way! I am available to give lessons at my place. I have a rehearsal room with 2 drumsets, one for the student and one for me, so to show clearly and immediatly all the concepts. I have a PA system as well, so to be able to playalong with music. I can also come to the house of the student, but that would be a secondary option. For this last option, I will charge some extras for travel cost and time spent. I don't have a car, so I will travel by public transport :)

If you want to learn to play the cello or improve your skills do not hesitate to write me!

PLACES, FEES - 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.
