I'm looking for student's who not only want to learn a great technique for singing but whom also want to find and develop their own unique sound so they can express themselves through the art of song and tell a story.

I am a trained singer- songwriter & professional musician with a BA (hons) in Composition. Originally from london I moved to Brussels to do my masters degree. I am a trained singing with a level of grade 8, I have also spent the last 6 years touring as a front women and also a backing singing with various artists around europe, including 1 top 10 artist. I understand that although it's great to have a strong technique it's also about letting go and having confidence in your ability so you can relax in the moment.

I welcome students of all levels and all ages and teach a range of genres from Jazz to Rock. Alternatively I am happy to focus on technique if that is something you prefer to work on.

So, if you're a aspiring singer looking to find your own unique coach I am here to help!

Guitar for intermediate and advanced both in English or in Spanish. The lessons take place in a small studio or Online which has become quite popular lately. Theory is not important to start you off. By you learning your favourite songs at your own pace and with passion you will find yourself on the road to becoming a good guitarist.
I like to teach motivated people who have time to develop musically. I expect commitment and with this and my coaching you will get to your goal much quicker. Remember, my goal is your objective.
I am a patient person with a love and passion for music and the guitar both acoustic and electric, and I love sharing this passion with my students, and seeing them evolve into the guitarists they want to be.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Greetings,

Rod

"Everything should be as simple as possible and no simpler," said Einstein. That is my motto. I'm a singer, songwriter with 30 years of experience teaching and performing. I have many stellar reviews (see below) and I can show you how you can play upto 80% of popular music, with just four chords in our first lesson.

I have been teaching all ages, at various levels of competence, catering for a wide range of styles. I tailor my lessons around the student's requirements, needs and learning objectives and I pride myself in making learning as SIMPLE as possible, fun, quick, effective and engaging.

It helps to have been trained as a life coach with a couple of decades of experience assisting students with mastering performance anxiety and staying focused on their goals. I use some cutting-edge tech including various free mobile apps, I love everything about music and I have various songs of mine on youtube.

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, classical music, electronic music, and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing at a party or jumping on stages, reading notes, or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is to help you find that out, and guide you through your process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

Welcome to my song writing session, within these sessions you will learn

1. How to structure a song
2. How to think of topics to write a song
3. Finding and creating music to match song ideas
4. How to put words and rhymes together

My tutoring sessions are very relaxed and easy going my first approach when starting out in the sessions is finding out about my students personality and what topics they like and means the most to them, after that we will write down all the ideas they come up with and build from there until we have a finished song.I can teach a various genres of song writing techniques for example Hip Hop, Grime R&B Gospel, Soul and many more

Looking forward to teaching you
Jermaine

These guitar classes are taught in English and are tailored to your individual goals, level, and musical taste. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an intermediate player looking to improve technique and confidence, the lessons are designed to be practical, structured, and enjoyable.

We’ll focus on building a strong foundation while playing real music from the start. Lessons can include chords, strumming, fingerstyle, scales, rhythm, timing, music theory explained simply, and learning songs you actually want to play. If you’re interested in songwriting, improvisation, or understanding how music works on the guitar, those areas can also be explored.

Each class is adapted to your pace and interests, with clear exercises and guidance so you know exactly what to practice between lessons. The aim is not just to play songs, but to help you become an independent guitarist who understands the instrument and enjoys playing it.

Classes are suitable for adults and older teens, and can be held online or in person. No previous experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to play
