Songwriting for rappers, indie artists, and pop songs. - Kortenberg

Translated by GoogleSee original

Songwriting for rappers, indie artists, and pop songs.

From 34 £ /h

Songwriting can span many different areas. But in my lessons, it's purely about having fun and growing. I am Lander Sterckx (LaHes) and I have been on Spotify for a year now, where things are getting better and better. Writing rap songs was my way of expressing difficult feelings, so if you recognize yourself in that, you are definitely in the right place, and even if you aren't ;).

I'm a recording artist and a singing and piano teacher, with over 20 years of teaching experience in Europe (including Belgium) and the USA where I was among the top 10 tutors in Washington DC. I'm a professional singer-songwriter. I teach students around the world including New York, California, Washington DC, Honolulu, Colorado, London, Paris, Brussels, and Switzerland.

I offer voice lessons, piano lessons, songwriting tips, and music theory.

Voice/Singing: I teach the technique of Mix singing which is the most sought-after singing technique in the music industry and teaches singers to transition smoothly from chest voice to head voice and receive the full benefits of "both voices": the natural and powerful sound of the voice with a big range and a beautiful tone.

Piano: I teach using the classical method, applicable to both classical and modern music.

I can help you also with songwriting, music theory, learning the chords, reading the music, and give you some current music business tips plus help you with the recording or live performance.

I am university-educated with over 18 years of educational experience, including at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

I'm looking forward to working with you! :)

These lessons are made for beginners, intermediate singers who want to get deeper into their vocal possibilities. During the first half hour, we do a few vocal and physical exercises to warm up, discuss and identify what you want to improve or learn, and I am gonna give you keys and paths to reach your goals. The second half of the lesson is purely based on interpretation. I accompany you on the piano, and we sing the songs you chose. We try to work on different songs as often as possible to keep it as fun as possible !
I can also help you on writing/interpreting your own songs if you are into writing !

I also studied music for 5 years at the Conservatoire National à Rayonnement Régional of Nice, France.

As a vocal coach, I understand that it is important to develop a good vocal technique but also to develop self-confidence and mastery of oneself in order to be able to deliver the best of oneself in any situation.

I deal with students of all levels and ages. I explore with them different musical fields according to their desires and affinities. My classes are a mix of technique, improvisation and practice. I really like the practice to include an element of interactivity with my students and so that they are able to come out of my lessons with mastered pieces, in their own way. Indeed, I also like to take the time to research with my students their own inner voices and talents so that they really find themselves artistically speaking; a kind of musical inner journey.

So, if you are looking to develop your vocal and musical abilities as well as develop your own artistic voice, do not hesitate to contact me!

Anyone can learn to sing, that's a fact.

Whatever stage you are at, I'll give you a handful of practical tips that we practice together to get a handle on what comes out of your instrument.

From breathing, over vocal technique to the interpretation of songs and creating your own melodies.

I am Natalia, a pianist, composer, and music teacher. Music plays a central role in my life and forms the basis of everything I do: playing, creating, and teaching.

At the piano, I constantly discover and develop new musical ideas. Composing music is a natural way for me to express feelings, atmosphere, and stories. Sometimes a composition originates from a small motif or a simple melody that slowly develops into a complete piece of music. My inspiration comes from various sources: life, emotions, nature, films, stories, and moments of silence in which music can arise spontaneously.

My music moves between various styles, with a strong emphasis on melody, atmosphere, and emotion. The foundation often lies in the piano sound, but the musical language I use can contain classical influences as well as modern, cinematic, or popular elements. I love music that evokes images and tells a story, as if the listener can feel a scene or a world simply by listening.

In addition to composing, I also share my musical experience as a music teacher. In my piano lessons, I want to teach students not only how to play notes, but also how to understand, interpret, and experience music. For me, learning music is a process in which technique, listening, creativity, and expression come together. Therefore, in my lessons, I pay attention to musicality, interpretation, and developing a personal musical voice.

My experience as a composer also influences my teaching style. I help students not only to perform music, but also to understand how music is structured and how a melody, harmony, or rhythm is created. In this way, they not only learn to play the piano but also develop deeper musical insight and creativity.

To me, music is a living art form that is constantly growing. As a pianist, composer, and teacher, I want to continue creating, sharing, and passing on music to

I write and play music for a variety of projects where powerful and meaningful music is needed. For example:

• films and short films
• television programs and documentaries
• theatre and stage productions
• commercials and advertising campaigns
• original songs and musical projects
• live piano music for events and special occasions

As mentioned earlier, in addition to composing and performing, I also share my passion for music with others through piano lessons. In my lessons, I guide students—from beginners to advanced—not only to learn to play the piano, but also to truly understand, feel, and create music.

For me, music is more than sounds – it is a way to tell stories, share emotions, and connect people.

Welcome to my musical world.

I studied Language Sciences and Literature in Paris, where I also did tutoring sessions for students in difficulty.
I also studied Game Design and Narrative Design.

Being a musician, I write song lyrics for several projects.
I have been writing poetry and freelance writing for over 10 years.
I am also a content creator for a French-speaking Belgian webzine; Shoot Me Again.

My background in literature and linguistics helped me to have a sensitivity to language. I bring a lot of importance to the weight of the words and to the rhythm in my writings.
My diverse experience has helped me build a solid background.
I can teach poetry, how to write song lyrics, spontaneous writing for the Spoken Word for example but also how to structure an article, a dissertation or any other writing.
I can also help you write a lore, a scenario and dialogues for a video game.

Write to me to have access to a piece of my portfolio!

See you soon :)

As an artist I was on stage with different projects all over Europe. Seven years of training took me to the Netherlands (Ba Jazz Saxophone), Denmark and Norway (M. Composition and Performance) and recently I obtained a Masters in 'Pop Music' from the University of West London.

As a teacher, I work part-time for WISPER, an organization with a strong methodology and its own vision on art education, which focuses on 'active learning'. I bring this vision and methodology to your private lessons: I actively help you with your instrument or musical creation process.

Together we draw up a trajectory in which you hold the reins of your own development as a loving musician or artist.

Also, I teach jazz arranging (writing for octet, nonet, big band) and writing for several instruments. How to compose effective voicings for several blowers, how to write an effective bass line etc...!

I'm a singer-songwriter from the UK and recently moved to Brussels! I have over 15 years of performance experience both in choirs and with my own artist project, including performances on BBC Radio 4 and at Glastonbury Festival. I was classically trained which helped me to develop my technique and an innate understanding of singing. I love to help singers of all genres from musical theatre to soul, pop and a bit of jazz! Equally, I work with students of all abilities, whether you're looking to try singing, you'd like to work on your technique, practice for an audition, or simply gain the confidence to perform, then I can help! Additionally with 9 years of songwriting experience and 8 singles released through my artist project, I offer 1-2-1 songwriting lessons for those looking to start out!
