Basically, I love teaching Italian and Violin! I do it with passion, love, and putting all my self in it. I shall guarantee professionalism, high teaching level and friendly attitude.

Italian is the language of Opera and the fashion: understanding the language helps people to get deeper in the Italian culture and to enjoy literature, arts, music and all the most beautiful cities in Italy. My method consists in using grammar books to build solid skills but also reading original samples from Italian newspapers and books, making funny activities and also meeting Italian speakers in Bruxelles to consolidate practical skills of my students. I will encourage students to practise Italian with the new technology and have fun through listening to lovely Italian popular song, arias from Italian Opera or cartoons for children of amateurs (for more details, do not hesitate to contact me).

Violin, solfège. I studied Master of Arts in Violin in London at the Royal Academy of Music. As violinist and musician, I think it is fundamental for a student of music to understand their bodies in order to feel the inner voice of themselves.
I studied Alexander technique so in my teaching I always talk about relaxing, feeling the right tensions and avoiding the not-useful ones.
I will be happy to teach violin to everyone who needs to improve musicality, technique, self-consciousness or simply who like to enjoy violin.
As a violinst, I usually play with ensemble or in chamber music projects across the Europe. Basically I play historical instrument but I fell equally at home on the modern violin ( for more details and cv, do not hesitate to contact me).


I teach English as well.

Group language lessons(max 3 people) are warmly welcome. Discounts apply.

I was born in the Czech Republic, where I also studied at the Conservatory of Prague. My main field is composition and that is why my teaching method is different from the other teachers who studied piano.

In 2016, I founded a school called the Lastwin School of Liberal Arts. Under this shield, I taught with my wife in our apartment. We were intrigued by how many parents enrolled their children for lessons. Even the parents themselves wanted to try the lessons. The method I use liked the headmistress of the Montessori school called Edison, where I taught piano and music lessons.

I was wondering why, they do not use services like state music schools, which are significantly cheaper. The answer was very simple. Such institutions have clear textbooks, clear curricula, and everyone must follow this.

But I am very sure, that this is not Art.

I am for Liberal Art. And I want to be one of the other teachers who understand individuality and try to subordinate as much as possible to the student.

For my inspiration, I take a tree that becomes a tool for every case when something is unclear to students.

I am a composer and musician with two degrees in music from the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan and an international artistic career. My music is regularly programmed at international festivals and I collaborate with institutions, foundations and festivals active in the field of contemporary music.
My lessons are aimed at anyone who wants to become a composer, whether they are a beginner or already at an advanced level. The path I follow is always tailored to the specific needs of each student.
The following disciplines are covered in depth during the lessons :

- Composition from solo instrument to large orchestra
- Musical analysis of all parameters: harmony, study of form, phraseology, morphology, rhythmic analysis, orchestration, study of sound textures, statistical distribution of musical events
- Compositional techniques, from tonality to more contemporary languages

I supervise many students from conservatories, music academies, both in the area of classical and contemporary music and in the area of commercial music

Hi!

This class will focus on piano performance, as well as music theory!

The goal is to learn how to play piano from scratch for the very beginners, and how to improve the performance for more advanced players.

Please enquire about your specific needs, and I'll be happy to customize a distinct lesson plan for you.

If you're looking for a fun, friendly and experienced piano teacher, please don't hesitate to get in touch to start your lesson!

I am a graduate of Royal Irish Academy of Music and Trinity College Dublin, where I earned a BA in Piano Performance.

I've participated in masterclasses with world renowned pianists such as Eliso Virsaladze, Vanessa Latarche, Ronan O' Hora, Joanna MacGregor and Fali Pavri, Pavel Nersessian, Christian Favre.

I can teach lessons (fluent English or Spanish) to complete beginners and as a former ABRSM and Trinity student I can assist to teaching pieces and assisting in performance. I passed the IB 2 year music course (performance, music theory, and music creation) so I have extensive knowledge on all music subjects. I believe it’s important to meet twice a week at least and I will have progress reports on a notebook and not only will I teach how to read sheet music but also performance and finger techniques.
