About Me

Hello,

I am currently studying economics and management after a somewhat atypical course (> <baccalaureate in sociology / anthropology). In this case, a choice of heavy scale, give up teaching music for the benefit of university studies.

Indeed, I had the chance to spend my childhood in various music academies (5 in total). I started the practice of accordion at the age of 6, so it's been 15 years since I played this instrument. Regarding the practice of the violin, it came to me during my high school studies at the same time as my entry to the GPEI.

When it comes to learning music, I adapt as much as possible to the student's expectations. Since I know the difficulties related to solfeggio, I seek in some ways, working bias to be able to evolve and discover the concepts in a pedagogical way and somewhat different ... In particular by the solicitation of the work of the ear, listening which is an indispensable object for musical comprehension.

I adapt well enough to each student profile. Whether for children or for adults. I have already taught the accordion through several courses and I remain active through my different groups. For students wishing to do the conservatory superior to classical accordion, I can conduct very specific training on a type of game but also recommend good addresses.

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!

Courses and Training:

Graduated in Musicology, my specialization in Singing at the IMEP (Conservatory of Namur) and in accompanying music on the accordion led me after my studies to give singing lessons in a music school (Cap sur le Music in Kraainem), as well as musical awakening in different schools, via Les Jeunesses Musicales.
Being also an ethnomusicologist, I like to work with repertoires from other horizons, both singing and accordion.
Currently working part-time at Outhere Music (production and distribution house of classical and jazz music), I have the chance to discover on a daily basis a large quantity of various repertoires, likely here to be the subject of discoveries for the student, depending on their different future artistic aspirations.
Passionate about CVT (complete vocal technique) since 2021 and trained in postural and psycho-behavioural muscle chains (GDS method), my goal is to get the student to explore his vocal universe as broadly as possible, while increasing his body awareness with each lesson.

Approach & repertoire:

I attach great importance to body awareness, presence and movement, as well as the overall well-being of the student. Having also followed a training in Mindfulness, I like to mix a therapeutic approach with the artistic work accomplished with the student.
Starting from the student's musical desires and aspirations is also essential for me. I therefore aim for personalized support that respects its own achievement objectives.
My methodology aims at learning the technique through play and body movement, both for singing lessons and musical awakening.
No prerequisite in music is necessary (neither music theory nor other).

Musical Awakening for children (individual or semi-collective – from 1 to 6-7 years old):

With young children, I try to multiply awakening approaches using senses other than just hearing, both by learning gesture songs and rhythmic activities. The activities of dance or development of the ear by listening are of course omnipresent. I work on psychomotricity and seek to discover new instruments, as well as the different repertoires which are connected to them.
I work on several levels (passive and active) and different scales of difficulty according to ages and possible interactions in small groups, in order to anchor learning and awakening over time.
Breath work is also on the program.

Are you willing to learn how to play the piano? In this class, you can learn how to play this incredible instrument, as well as develop music theory knowledge such as reading scores, basic harmony, and rhythm. You will also learn how to develop your own musical ideas and find a personal way to express them!

Students of all ages can contact me to follow private lessons live in Brussels or Antwerp or online (via Zoom). I am a classical/jazz-trained pianist and composer who graduated "magna cum laude" with a Master's degree in Composition at the Royale Conservatoire of Antwerp. As a pianist and music teacher, I have several years of experience in private and public schools in Italy and I'm now teaching at the Royale Conservatoire of Antwerp. I am familiar with the classical and jazz repertoire as well as with 20th and 21st-century music. I'm passionate about introducing this beautiful and exciting field of art and its related knowledge.

If you don't have any music experience or if you already know music and want to develop or study a particular argument, my classes focus on the construction of a personalized study trajectory and methods based on the level, interests, and expectations of the student! The most important thing for me is to keep creativity and interest always stimulated for you to develop or continue to grow your love for music!

Giovanna raised and formed in Florence, where she began her guitar studies at the age of five at the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole. In September, she graduated cum laude and she's currently enrolled in the Master’s program at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, studying with Antigoni Goni.

Winner of many international competitions, she performed plenty of times in Italy and in 2023 she has held a solo concert in Milan for the XXXVIII Società Umanitaria's concerts season. Next to renowned guitarists, such as Luigi Attademo and Giorgio Albiani, she performed the world premiere of Álvaro Company’s Concert Català for ten guitars, in the revision by Vincenzo Saldarelli.

Alongside her performing activity, Giovanna has developed a strong dedication to teaching adults, children, and teenagers. She tailors each learning path to the individual student, carefully balancing personal interests with technical and artistic development, whether for amateur musicians or students preparing for conservatory admission. Her teaching approach places particular emphasis on physical awareness and well-being, guiding students toward healthy and efficient use of the body while playing. Music theory is fully integrated into her lessons and is always connected to practical application on the instrument.

Founded by professional musicians and educators with extensive experience in conservatories and academies, our institute, located in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, supports children, teenagers, and adults with passion, rigor, and kindness.

Every student is unique. That's why we continually adapt our lessons to each student's age, initial level, motivations, and pace. Beyond the essential technical foundations, we develop musicality, attentive listening, interpretation, and personal expression to enable everyone to achieve true artistic independence.

For our team, playing an instrument is a enriching and transformative experience. It actively contributes to strengthening concentration, memory, sensitivity, and self-confidence. Placing the student at the heart of our approach guarantees an ideal balance between the joy of learning, creative freedom, and personal fulfillment.

I'm ENERVIU, a DJ and music curator based in Brussels. My sound ranges from UK club music like garage, bass, dub, and breaks to house, jazz, and funk selections. I play in various settings, from clubs to private events, and I also share my passion through videos about the history of musical genres.

I offer a four-session introductory course to DJing, tailored to your level and tastes.
My goal: to give you the basics to become independent behind the decks, develop your selection, and build a world that reflects your personality. Each session combines explanations, listening, and practical application.

**Session 1 — Discover DJing and develop your listening skills**

We will explore the role of the DJ and the different facets of their practice: club, radio, bar, or private event. We will discuss musical research, selection, and what gives a set its identity.

Through listening, you will learn to recognize tempo, beats, measures, and musical phrases, as well as identify introductions, breaks, and repeats. These fundamentals will allow you to better understand the energy of a piece and the appropriate moments for a transition.

*Objective: to acquire basic listening skills and begin making a personal selection.*

**Session 2 — Understanding Turntables and the Mixing Console**

We will discover the equipment and its essential controls: playback, cue, jog, tempo adjustment, faders, gain and equalization.

You will learn how to use headphone pre-listening, adjust levels, and synchronize two tracks. We will cover beatmatching, both by ear and with available tools, to help you understand what you are doing and gain confidence.

Objective: to get to grips with the equipment and perform your first sequences.

**Session 3 — Preparing your music with Rekordbox**

We will use Rekordbox to import your tracks, organize your library and create playlists tailored to your mixing preferences.

You will learn to read waveforms, check the tempo and rhythmic grid, and then place useful cues using Memory Cues and Hot Cues. We will cover keys as a selection aid and prepare a USB drive compatible with the equipment used.

Objective: to have an organized and ready-to-play selection.

**Session 4 — Practicing and building your first mix**

We will combine the acquired skills to link several pieces together: tempo matching, alignment of musical phrases and transitions using volumes and equalization.

We'll also work on the progression of the set: creating an atmosphere, choosing the next track, gradually building energy, and letting the music breathe. You'll create a short mix that we'll listen to together to identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

We will conclude with useful tips for a first performance: prepare your music, plan a backup and check the technical conditions of the venue.

Objective: to create a first coherent mix and leave with exercises to continue progressing.

Throughout the journey, we will start with the music you love to refine your listening skills, affirm your choices, and develop the pleasure of sharing it.

**Session 5 — Preparing your first gigs and presenting your DJ project**

We will explore the first steps to playing in public: contacting venues and programmers, sharing a relevant mix and clearly communicating your availability, rates and technical requirements.

We'll cover the essential elements of a short biography, a press kit, and a technical rider. Drawing on my experience in clubs and at private events, we'll see how to adapt your offering to different contexts while staying true to your musical identity.

Finally, we will build a personal action plan: skills to develop further, the next mix to record and venues to target for your first gigs.

*Objective: to understand how bookings work and leave with concrete steps to develop your DJ project.*
