Experience / Qualifications
Born at the end of the 1970s in the Liège region, he is currently based in Brussels. He carries out his musical activities as a pianist within various projects, alongside his activities as a composer and arranger. He plays regularly throughout Belgium and outside.

His numerous activities in musical fields as diverse as jazz, soul music, classical music, French song, cabaret, or even theater and cinema music, gradually make him an eclectic musician whose musical language is imbued with all these influences.

He was trained on classical piano by Piet Kuijken and George Van Dam, and studied jazz with Nathalie Loriers and Eric Legnini. He graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in jazz piano with great distinction. He also holds a director's diploma (Insas).

As a composer, Yannick writes music for his own projects (jazz, cabaret, songs, orchestra, string quartet), and is regularly called upon to compose or make arrangements for other projects (among others: arrangement for orchestra and backing vocals from ABBA, Venusberg / pop cabaret, Julie Chemin album / French song, Remua / orchestra / children's choir, Cookies Films / RTBF, film scores, Alexi Van Stratum / theater music.)

In 2013, he won the prize for Best Film Music for the short film "Premier Pas" by Grégory Lecocq (Naousson International Film Festival, Greece, 250 films in competition, 50 countries represented.)

In 2014, with his jazz quintet 'Gorgona', he released a first album called "Stories & Pictures", where he unleashes his inspiration and performs his instrumental compositions.

Yannick is also involved in musical community life. Thus he is artistic director of "Ars Nova", member of "Lundis d'Hortense", the Belgian association of jazz musicians, member of the 'Facir' (Federation of unified authors, composers and performers), and member of the "Belgian Screen Composers Guild ".

Finally, at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, he teaches writing in classical music, as well as specialized didactics for jazz piano and general jazz training in the pedagogy department. At the Academy of Arts of the City of Brussels, he teaches piano and jazz harmony.

Hello to you !

The course that I am offering you is built around the student, their needs and desires, while leaving a door open to the many horizons that computer music can offer. No solfegic knowledge is required although the basics can be taught if you feel the need. We can explore together the technical and artistic facets of composition, written or improvised live performance, or even mixing. My master software is Ableton Live, and I also program in Max MSP, so if you feel like it, we can also explore the extraordinary that Max for Live (M4L) offers Ableton! If you are on another software I may be able to convey to you a number of main principles but would be less detailed in the knowledge. In the same way, if you have a synthesizer or other hardware that you want to understand better, I could give you the basic principles, and we can study the specificities of your machines together.

Hope these possibilities inspire you!
You can discover my electronic work here: linktr.ee/scarabj with these three projects that you will find there: Scarabj (solo) Room Nocte (trio) and Relaps (trio).

As a vocal coach, I understand that it is important to develop a good vocal technique but also to develop self-confidence and mastery of oneself in order to be able to deliver the best of oneself in any situation.

I deal with students of all levels and ages. I explore with them different musical fields according to their desires and affinities. My classes are a mix of technique, improvisation and practice. I really like the practice to include an element of interactivity with my students and so that they are able to come out of my lessons with mastered pieces, in their own way. Indeed, I also like to take the time to research with my students their own inner voices and talents so that they really find themselves artistically speaking; a kind of musical inner journey.

So, if you are looking to develop your vocal and musical abilities as well as develop your own artistic voice, do not hesitate to contact me!

One-to-one music lessons inspired by the teachings of Suzuki, Havas, Hoppenot, and Galway.

The lessons are adjusted according to age, level, and interests. The most important is that the student will learn in an enjoyable way for them.

It is only possible to take 45 min. lessons when the student receives more than one lesson a week -which is highly recommended for anyone that might want to become a professional musician. Lessons longer than an hour are also possible for anyone over 14 years old.

Other possibilities, a combination of instrumental/theory lessons and prices can be discussed.

I have years of experience helping students improve as well as experience in many different styles of music such as Funk, Rock, reggae, jazz, blues etc! Some examples of what you might learn include:

- The basics and advice for beginners
- What makes a good bassline
- Learning songs that you like
- Breaking down rhythms & dynamics
- Essential music theory for bass & more advanced techniques (eg: melodic techniques, rhythmic, slap bass, etc)

Appropriate homework/exercises and recordings are provided during lessons. I also like to give advice and direction for people with musical aspirations. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Max is a visual programming language to create audio (and video) art. Almost like with LEGO, you connect different building blocks with each other and create an audio (or video) circuit.
I have years of experience in making programs in Max and want to share this knowledge. I start from the basics and make sure that the programming is also theoretically substantiated: I want you not only to put something in, but also to understand why something works. That extra knowledge helps you work faster as you move forward.
For a program that focuses more on audio, I use Ableton. I have been using this program for my own music production for about ten years and know the program inside out.

With my course, I suggest that you practice, use your ideas to explore the software in a fun way so that at the end of the course, you have understood the different maneuvers carried out and have concretely withdrawn something for your own projects.

I can also go further in explaining the logic to use both at the harmonic and musical level as well as technical (related to the operation of your software or recording and mixing), or advise you so that you can get the best equipment you already have.
Today, it is possible to do wonders with nothing!; no need for high quality and expensive equipment as in the past to obtain pieces worthy of the greatest!

Topics that can be covered:

- Musical composition

- How Ableton Live works

- How to register (vocals, guitars, other instrument)

- Use of samples

Computer music basics: Ableton + (if necessary) Adobe audition + Audacity
Content of the Ableton course: use sound bank and effects incorporated into the program, add your own sounds, audio tracks and Midi tracks, transform audio track into Midi track (and vice versa), some interesting effects (on sound, on 1 track or on all tracks) with parameter settings, record with Ableton, make loops, work in Session view and Arrangements view, split sounds, mix, export, automate your work for live performance, etc.

When you are writing music, it is very important that you show your music to people. Someone with experience in composition, even better. It is sometimes difficult to take that step to show your pieces that you have worked hard on. But this is a very important step, it makes you more confident in your own piece. From then on, people can receive feedback and evolve further. In my lessons, I work mainly on structure and learning to compose. If necessary, I will also work on details, but first the idea and the form have to be right. Composing is an evolution and I myself am getting better every year.

To compose better, thorough music theory is also important. Just as you can express yourself better with more vocabulary, you can write better music and translate your idea into notes better with more music knowledge. The importance of this is often underestimated. For me, music theory (all the basic knowledge but especially harmony and counterpoint) go hand in hand.
