Custom piano lessons: face-to-face or online. [teens and adults]

From 45.55 £ /h

Piano lessons adapted to your taste and level. You tell us what you expect from the lessons so that I can give you optimal piano lessons.

For example: you want to learn to read and play piano pieces. I must also give you the relevant theory. It is your choice to study additional theory, but it is not necessary. My lessons are therefore efficiently oriented. As a student, you can ultimately choose which piano pieces we work on (it must first be approved by me), so that playing the piano remains fun and educational. I cover classical music, pop music, video games, movies, anime music, etc... so many genres!

Another example: you want to make a piano cover of an existing piece (e.g. pop music or movie music). I will give you the theory of chords and reading staves. This way you can get started quickly. Together we will practice enough so that you understand everything well! We can also improvise together on your piano.

Feel free to message us if you have any questions :)

I have already given private lessons to adults, teenagers and children both online and in person. Both options work great! We do this online via Skype or another app if desired. Physically we do it in Leuven city centre, where there is a handy large indoor bicycle shed.
Ideally I teach once a week, you then continue practicing on your piano at home towards the next lesson the following week. If you would like lessons every other week or lessons twice a week, that is also possible for me.

Why choose to learn to play the piano? It has been scientifically proven that playing an instrument makes someone smarter (good brain training). You can show your piano skills to others, but you can also make yourself happy and reward through your piano. I've heard from my friends that they regret not learning to play an instrument, hopefully you won't be like them...
You only Live one time! What are you waiting for?
I hope to see you then! ^_^

Extra information

As a student you need a piano to practice. You can purchase a digital piano, upright piano or grand piano. You can buy or rent them through a music store (via webshop or physical store).

About Me

* As a child I practiced a lot at the piano, I have been taking piano lessons since I was 10. I was able to play the full version of Fur Elise as a first-year piano student when I was 10 years old. Practice makes perfect!
* I would like to hire a student who wants to learn to play the piano. This way I can share my knowledge, experience and passion for piano with this student!
* I have a naturally cheerful, motivating personality which can help with your motivation and passion for piano. But I can also be strict enough to teach you discipline when practicing the piano :D

Education

I studied Mathematics in high school. Now I am in a teacher training for secondary education.
I followed AMV and AMC during my piano career, and I also studied accompaniment practice. I studied piano at the AMWD.

I have been officially teaching through Apprentus since 2020. Before that, I also gave piano lessons to my nieces and nephews. I have currently taught piano lessons both online and in person to children, teenagers and adults.

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!

The flute it’s a quite complex instrument, where the challenge is to find the balance between all the parameter, such as posture(in order to learn how to play fast passage), lips and everything concerning breathing technique(in order to get the best clear and powerful sound).
It’ my job to guide the student in order to let him/her find that stability in order to get best results possible.

Are you young or old, a beginner/intermediate/advanced musician and would you like to take violin and/or solfège lessons or tutoring? Then you've come to the right place!
My name is Lisa and I obtained a Master's degree for Violin in 2024 with Lilia Umnova at the conservatory LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens. Since September 2024 I have started a Master's degree for Chamber Music at the conservatory LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens, still in the class of Lilia Umnova.
I can easily teach in the Merchtem and Leuven region.
On my profile you can find more information about myself and how I work in the lessons.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to send us a message!

Lessons are individually and carefully adapted to the student’s age, level, and desired outcome.
From the youngest students, to whom the music and playing the basics are served playfully based on making the music an important part of their development to advanced students with whom we can refine all the musical details and prepare for professional careers.

Are you a beginner who has started to learn guitar on his own, and can't see the trees for the wood anymore? Or do you already have some experience and want to learn something new? Then you've come to the right place!

About myself:
I have been playing both guitar and bass guitar for 8 years. I also have a solid foundation in music theory. I took lessons with Kristof Neyens (rock school leuven) for several years, and now I would like to share my experience.

Classes:
Depending on your preference, we can draw up a lesson plan together with individual assignments. I also try to work as much as possible with the genres that you like to listen to yourself, this is of course more motivating (after all, you don't want to try to teach Mozart to a Metal fan ;))

My approach is certainly not like that of the 'music theory' at the academy. From your first lesson you will immediately start playing songs. I only use music theory if it is really necessary or if you would like to delve into it.

Practical:
I follow distance education so I can actually go at any time of the week, online lessons are also a possibility.

If you contact me and tell me which times suit you, we can certainly find a fixed time together!

Want to learn how to play your favourite song or piece? Or perhaps you would like your kids to learn about classical music? Learning the violin is a great way to develop your musicality and so many skills.

Hey!

Would you like to learn to play that one track (or several tracks) from Coldplay, John Legend, Elton John, .. on the piano, but you don't know where to start?

Or would you like to learn how to produce, mix and master with Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Garageband, Logic Pro X, .. to create your own tracks?

Or would you like to learn how a synthesizer works and how you can make sounds with it?

I can help you! I've been playing piano for about 15 years now after studying Pop & Jazz, and I've performed in a variety of genres. I also have a diploma in Electronic Music Production from Point Blank Music School, and I'm currently working as a keyboardist and producer for the pop group. I primarily play pop music, but we can certainly explore other genres as well.

For piano lessons, I recommend 30 minutes so we can cover new topics each lesson, which you can then practice at home. For producing/mixing, 60 minutes is more suitable if you want to master it faster, but you can certainly learn it in 30 minutes per lesson.

Interested? Feel free to contact me, and we'll schedule a time. I offer lessons both at home in Haacht and on-site in the Leuven area (or online).

Are you interested in embarking on a musical journey, aiming to learn your favorite pieces or songs, or perhaps are you interested in learning composition/ notation techniques?

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Felipe Olivé began his piano studies under the guidance of Professor Marcilda Clis. Upon entering UNIRIO, he started taking lessons with the pianist and composer Claudio Dauelsberg. He holds a degree in piano from the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe in Germany, where he was a student of Professor Kaya Han. He spent 2 years in Portugal, where he taught at the Academia de Música de Almada. He also received guidance from Professor and pianist Manuel Araújo of the Academia Internacional de Música Aquilles Delle Vigne in Coimbra. Currently, he is pursuing a Master's degree in Piano Performance at LUCA School of Arts in Belgium, with the renowned pianist Sylvia Thereza as his teacher.

He has been awarded in national and international competitions, such as the VII Sardoal Young Talent Award (2nd Prize - ex-aequo in the Piano Solo category; 2nd Prize and Best Portuguese Duo in the Piano Duo category), the Prof. Dichler-Competition 2022 in Vienna (2nd Prize - ex aequo in the Piano Duo category), the I National Piano Competition of the Villa-Lobos Music School (Honorable Mention) in Rio de Janeiro, and the XXVI Souza Lima Piano Competition (Honorable Mention) in São Paulo.

His classes are intended for anyone who wants to start learning music theory and piano or those who already have basic or advanced knowledge. From Classical to Popular music, his teaching method adapts to the goals and individual desires of the student. During the classes, music theory is taught either concurrently or separately from practice, and the repertoire to be played is chosen collaboratively with the student.

Felipe has years of experience as a concert pianist and teacher in academies and music schools. He seeks the most suitable approach for each student, respecting their learning pace, helping overcome difficulties, and exploring their strengths, always encouraging progress.

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!
