About Me

Lisa did her graduate study at The Institute of the Arts (A.N.U.) with Richard McIntyre, she spent a few years freelancing with various orchestras around Australia including the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Canberra Symphony Orchestra, Sydney Symphony Orchestra, and the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra. She also received some very influential masterclasses in the ANAM (Australian National Academy of Music) program during her studies.
She was introduced to the baroque and classical bassoons by the talented and inspiring Simon Rickard, and soon began performing with him in the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and the Australian Chamber Orchestra. In 2002 she traveled to The Hague to undertake a study on historical bassoons at the Koninklijk Conservatory with Donna Agrell with a grant from the Ian Potter Foundation. There she met many musicians and had the opportunity of gaining experience as an orchestral and chamber musician.
She now performs regularly using many different instruments, from the renaissance, baroque, classical, and romantic periods. Lisa has worked with some fantastic directors and musicians including Lars Ulrik Mortenson, Philippe Herreweghe, Jos van Imerseel, Skip Sempe, Sigiswald Kuijken, Philippe Pierlot, Marcel Ponseele, Masaaki Suzuki, Ian Bostridge, Sonia Prina, Richard Egarr, Richard Tognetti, Paul Dombrecht, Erin Helyard, Antony Walker, Marc Minkowski, Paul McCreesh, Rene Jacobs, and many others.

Belly Dance/Traditional Egyptian Dance online for beginners, intermediate. Develop strength and flexibility and connection to the music.

40.16 £ /h

What is that thing that makes a fire burn in your heart?
That connects your mind to the earth?
Keeps your feet on the ground while your head floats effortlessly in an easy balance?
What gives a wonderful free-flowing warmth to your spine, hips, shoulders, arms and hands?
What gives a sense of belonging to your whole body?

It's belly dancing!

Who hasn’t ever wondered what it would be like to no longer have inhibitions around our deliciously soft , round, fabulous curves?

Are you slim or voluptuous? Are you old or young? It does not matter, everyone can enjoy and benefit from this dance form.

Our bodies as women, men, non binary people -made for nurturing, holding, giving birth, expressing passion, flowing freely, allowing connection within ourselves and connection with the world around us. All of us can learn to find a deeper connection to owning our bodies and our selves, and finding the confidence to express ourselves in any way we please.

Join me for lessons that will explore all these pleasures and new found freedom, building both a strong and healthy body and as well as a kind and attentive attitude towards ourselves.

We also learn to improvise to the beautiful folk music of Egypt. These classes build new commitments to self expression, freedom and strength, both physically and mentally.

PIANO

Foundation
First we start with the music theory, melody and chords. These are the essential building blocks for making music.

Style
Next we apply stylistic tools to bring the music to life. This could include jazz chords, blues riffs, walking bass lines, and more.

Skills

We learn the skills (soloing, ear training, accompaniment, improvisation, lead sheets, analysis...)

Following this approach, you will finally understand the music that you are playing, and you will be able to apply the techniques to hundreds of other songs.

CVT COACHING

Hi! I am Tine, a singer, voice teacher and vocal coach. I am passionate about helping singers to make the most of their singing practice so they can thrive, grow, and become the powerful performers and communicators the world needs today.

I can help you train your voice and keep it healthy, develop your own unique sound, sing across different styles, manage performance anxiety, be authentic on stage, deliver powerful presentations, make more efficient goals and help you reach them.

It is possible to create all the sounds from all the styles / genres in a healthy way!

CVT METHOD?

Singing is not that difficult and everybody can learn to sing. CVT divideds the singing techniques into four main subjects. By combining elements of these four subjects, you can produce precisely the sounds you want. You will also be able to pinpoint your specific problems and mistakes, and you can focus on which techniques you wish to work on.

The four main subjects are:

The three overall principles – to ensure healthy sound production
The four vocal modes – to choose the ‘gear’ you want to sing in.
Sound colours – to make the sound lighter or darker.
Effects – to achieve specific sound effects.

Hey,
My name is Jasper and besides guitar lessons I also give private lessons in solfège!

For me it is important that you can develop your music knowledge in a motivating private lesson where the focus is on your interests.

In these lessons we can go through all the principles of music theory, from learning to read your first notes to chord theory to scales and beyond.
The lessons are for students of all ages and all levels.

I myself studied at the conservatory in Rotterdam and in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 10 years of experience as a private teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.

Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hope to see you soon!

Tailor-made cello lessons for all ages and levels!
Currently via webcam

I studied at the conservatories of Antwerp and Ghent and obtained my master's degree as a performing musician and my diploma in specific teacher training. In addition to experience as a performing musician, I am also active as a teacher of solfège and cello. I have experience as a teacher with children and adults.

Would you like to learn to play the cello? Or would you like to improve your technique? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a schedule based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read notes is not a must, we can also tackle this during the lessons.

Solfège and music theory lessons are also possible!

Hello, my name is Silvia!
I am an Italian student of Violin, currently attending the Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice at KASK & Conservatorium in Gent.
I already have experience in teaching music and violin to children, teenagers and young adults. In those occasions, I discovered how much transmitting my love for music to other people - children, teenagers, adults, any age! - is one of my highest goals within my musical career.
I am aware that each student deserves a personal teaching approach, shaped on his/her own nature and attitude.
I will help students strengthen and consolidate their technical skills on the instrument, but we will also have a lot of fun in playing music!

My education:
- Postgraduate Musical Performance Practice course, at KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. Ongoing (2022-2023).
- Master Degree of Music in Performing Arts - Violin, issued by KASK & Conservatorium, HoGent. 2020-2022.
- Diploma in Violin (10-year course, old academic system) at the Conservatory of Music “G.P. da Palestrina” in Cagliari, Italy. 2009-2020.

The lessons will be held in English or in Italian.

Are you in love with the sound of the cello but have never dared to start playing it?
Have you been playing the cello as an amateur and now need an expert to guide you?
Do you want to develop and improve your cello and musical skills?
Do you need reinforcement lessons?
Would you like to prepare for entrance exams to the conservatory?
Would you love to join a youth orchestra and need help preparing for the auditions?
...
These are the private cello lessons you were looking for!

My name is Miriam, I am a graduate in Master of Classical Music at KASK & Conservatorium in Ghent.
I've been teaching cello to children, teenagers and adults for 10 years, so I've acquired the necessary experience to be able to adapt to the different and personal needs and objectives of each student. My teaching methodology focuses on creating a friendly and relaxed environment (which does not mean undemanding!) in which students feel confident to express their own ideas and worries. In my lessons I focus on technical and postural questions, but we also reflect together on the music, as I like my students to develop their own musical ideas and not just imitate the teacher.

Contact me now to schedule your first lesson and take the first step toward your musical aspirations! :)

Bye everyone!

Would you like to learn to play the violin in a fun, playful and relaxing way, at the pace that suits you best? Young, old, beginner, advanced? Welcome! You can also learn solfège during our lessons.

It is often difficult to schedule music lessons when you attend a music school. Here you can combine both violin and solfège in one lesson.

I studied at the Ghent Conservatory and took several private lessons.
I also regularly perform with my duo and play in various orchestras.

I would like to share my passion and musicality with you!

I am Jess, a musician and producer from Ghent, graduated as a bachelor in music at PXL Hasselt. In the meantime I have been teaching guitar for 10 years at music studios and in the form of private lessons at home. Besides teaching I have my own project called Monagi and I write/produce for bands like Tout Va Bien and Patches. I also play guitar at TheShadow Machine. All my lessons take place in a relaxed atmosphere in my music studio in Ghent at your own pace.

For beginners: During our guitar lesson you can bring your own songs that you want to work on or together we will see what the best songs are for you and what you can learn the most from. This ranges from the basic chords that make up most pop / rock songs to playing along with the melody or accompanying yourself while singing. So you can play what you always dreamed of in no time!

For advanced users: Together we look at what you want to work on in terms of rhythm, soloing or improvisation. Which styles you are familiar with or which you would like to learn to play. These lessons are ideal for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of the guitar or if it feels like you've reached a plateau you can't get past.

Hello! My name is Marcos, I am a clarinetist and I live in Brussels. I offer private lessons in person (they can be at your place or mine) or online.
I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level.
In my lessons, I help students find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of auditory skills, a sense of rhythm and optimal use of the body, allowing them to connect with their musical imagination.
Lessons are tailored to the needs and desires of each student.
The most important thing is that we have a good time!
