I am passionate about teaching guitar! Over the last 10 years I have been teaching students from ages 7-70 from complete beginners to advanced players with one thing in common - their wish to play guitar more comfortably and have fun while doing it!

I am a classical guitarist with a background in pedagogy, psychology and physiotherapy, my approach - methodical.
While working on the things you want to improve and learn I will also help you develop a deep understanding of the theory and principles that music is built upon. Our lessons will be exploratory and imaginative whilst also underpinned by technical knowledge so that you can enjoy playing comfortably and without pain.

My aim is to get you to where you want to be playing guitar, whether that be for friends at New Year or on the stage at Carnegie Hall!

"It is always enjoyable to teach, because with the music we can relax and to go away from the daily routine and noisy world.The magic of the cello sound helps you to fly an other continent."

Her programme of cello is for everybody: children and adults as well.
Her positive, happy and motivated attitude makes the cello lessons more enjoyable.
She loves to give full of her heart to her students.

You'll love her music lesson, because:
- The lessons is with the good, happy atmosphere
- without exams
- working in your own tempo
- no time to go to theory lessons.

If you are beginner,or advanced, or kids or adults, anyway you will already enjoy the music on the first lesson!

The string bass or double bass is the biggest instrument of the orchestra.
It is a long journey full of emotion and with a challenging repertoire. Many groups are currently searching for members who have some proficiency and lots of things to do.

Hello! This year I obtained my Master's degree in violin at LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens under Lei Wang and am now starting my adventure as a professional violinist. I have been giving private lessons for six years now and hope to teach more this coming academic year than was previously compatible with my studies. In my lessons, I find it most important that students have fun and feel comfortable in their own skin. In my opinion, this is an essential prerequisite for continuous motivation to learn technically and musically, with a focus on a pace that feels right for the student. My teaching method varies greatly per student because I try to adapt each lesson to what suits the student best and what they need at a particular moment in the lesson. Besides being a musician at heart, I also have a strong interest in psychology. Consequently, over the past few years during my violin studies, I have taken a number of courses annually in the psychology program at KU Leuven. I use the knowledge I gained there to reflect on my educational practice as a violin teacher and to create a safe space for my students in which they can develop freely as musicians and as people.
I look forward to meeting you! If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Always wanted to play the violin, but it never happened?

Years of your violin not touched and now the will to pick it up again?

You are never too old to learn it or to pick it up again!
I am a violinist from Hungary - I have completed my Masters Degree in Teaching at the University of Debrecen, and in the meantime I have given violin lessons in various music schools in Hungary. I have played actively in various professional orchestras.
From this year I started the Artistic Master's program at the Lemmens Institute.
Since my first year at the university I teach private lessons, I have experience with both children and adults.

I can teach in English, Dutch, French and Hungarian. I am also following Norwegian classes, and I can give it a try in Norwegian as well.

Reading, understanding, playing and writing music.
I offer lessons for children and adults, no matter the level. In my lessons, in addition to learning technique and the instrumental repertoire (clarinet), you learn the language of music in all its facets (solfeggio, rhythmics, dictation, harmony, elements of composition).
The method I use varies for each individual student and depends not only on his/her level, but on what interests him/her most and what serves his/her artistic growth.

I am Ezio, I am Italian and I moved to Belgium to continue my studies.
I have a degree in clarinet, I also studied conducting for wind orchestras, musical propaedeutics and also theatre and theatre therapy.
I have worked with youth bands and taught in two music schools in Sicily. I am always interested in new methodologies and everything that can make learning not only functional, but also a real pleasure.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the violin or start over? Then you've come to the right place!

I am a Belgian violinist, 25 years old, who obtained her master's degree in violin and chamber music at the Lemmens Institute last year.
As a violin teacher, the fun of the students is central. With a stimulating and motivated approach, we take on new challenges by looking together for a beautiful sound, musicality, relaxation and suitable repertoire. I cater to the interests of each student. I want to make you curious about the instrument and show you all the possibilities of the violin.

I have already gained experience in youth music studios, part-time art education and private.

Lessons can be given at my home in Leuven or Roeselare.

Hello! I am cello student from Spain and currently I am doing my Master Degree in LUCA School of Arts in Leuven. I really find music as my passion and I love share my knowledge with people. I have some experience teaching. In my lessons, I think it is most important that students have fun and feel good about themselves, which will hopefully motivate them to improve technically and musically at their own. I totally be to able to adapt to any level from beginners to under graduated students.
I am looking forward to meeting you! If you have any questions, you can always let me know.

Playing the cello is a skill that takes some time to learn. We will get through lots of pieces and do a lot of playing in classes. In some lessons, if necessary, we will learn about music theory as well, which helps us read music better and get to know our pieces better!

Hi! I'm Aitana, a professional violinist and currently based in Leuven.

I started playing the violin when I was 4 years old, and since then music has been a big part of my life. I studied violin at a higher-education level in Spain and Belgium, and I recently completed my Master's Degree in Violin Performance at LUCA School of Arts in Leuven, graduating Cum Laude. I have also performed with different orchestras and musical projects in Belgium and abroad.

I have experience teaching violin to children, beginners and students who already have some experience with the instrument. I also enjoy helping students with music theory, reading music, rhythm and ear training.

For me, learning an instrument should be more than just practicing the right notes. Of course, technique is important, but I also want my students to understand the music, feel comfortable with the instrument and, most importantly, enjoy playing it!

I always try to adapt my lessons to the student. Some people learn better through games and practical exercises, while others prefer to understand exactly how and why something works. We can also choose music together depending on your interests.

Whether you are starting from scratch, learning violin for fun, preparing for an exam or audition, or simply looking to improve your playing, I would be happy to help you.

No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and your love for music!
