Clarinet lessons, note reading and playing by ear, improvisation

From 34.83 £ /h

I teach clarinet while adapting to the learner's abilities, child or adult.
I like to work on different aspects of music at the same time : learning the instrument, learning melodies by ear, note reading and music theory, improvisation.
I'm a multi-instrumentalist and while I started with classical music, I now play mostly in pop, folk and swing projects.
I invite students to discover music through it's many possibilities and develop their own creativity, whatever their level of ability.

I graduated from the Conservatoire de Nice CNRR (France) in jazz guitar.
I studied there for seven years with renowned professors such as Jean Paul Ceccarelli (Sting), Pierre Bertrand, Robert Persi or Philippe Petit.
My teaching method is flexible and I adapt it to the needs and desires of the student.
We will discuss the technical work on the instrument, the knowledge of the neck and chords and the rhythm. With or without solfege.
The goal is to provide the student with the necessary tools so that he can continue learning by himself at home.

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

My method is based on serious and rigorous practice (while taking into account the student's ambitions) as well as learning most often by ear. This is indeed how music can be truly integrated over the long term.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but don't know where to start? Do you already have a musical background and want to refine your piano skills or music theory knowledge? Or are you an advanced player who wants to delve deeper? I offer piano and music theory lessons.

In my piano lessons, I work with each student to discover their musical personality. Depending on their preferences, the emphasis is on jazz and improvisation or on classical music, supplemented with the necessary music theory. I always try to accommodate the tempo and needs of each individual student. Enjoyment is paramount. I teach all ages.

This piano course combines jazz and classical music theory to help you understand how music works at a deeper level. The course covers harmony, scales, chord progressions, rhythm, and musical structure, with practical piano exercises that connect theory directly to playing. Suitable for those who want to build a strong theoretical foundation while developing musical flexibility and confidence.

I am a professional drummer, composer, and performer based in Brussels, with an active career in jazz, improvised, and creative music across Europe.

Whether your background is rock, pop, world, indie, or anything else, we focus on what serves your music, and on what learning this instrument can become. My goal is not to tell you strictly how things should be done, but to help you find your own way of doing them. To strengthen the musician that already exists inside you, and give you the tools to grow with confidence and independence.

I offer private drum lessons focused on long term development rather than isolated sessions. My work with students is based on regular weekly lessons, helping each drummer build solid technique, musical awareness, sound, and a personal voice in the instrument.

These lessons are for:
- Beginners who want a strong and musical foundation
- Intermediate players who want to improve groove, coordination, and confidence
- Creative musicians interested in improvisation, sound, and advanced rhythmic development.

My approach is practical and human. We work on what you really need, from basic technique and time feel to more advanced topics like independence, phrasing, and creative practice methods.

I mainly work with students who are interested in continuity and real progress through regular lessons.

Hello !

Do you live in Brussels and want to learn the clarinet, or introduce your child to it? Or perhaps you already play a little and want to improve? Then I can help you!

I am an advanced amateur clarinetist with a passion for sharing my knowledge. I have been playing the clarinet for over 30 years, having earned a professional degree from the conservatory in my hometown of San Sebastián, Spain. I taught clarinet there for several years and have played in numerous wind bands, amateur orchestras, and ensembles.

I have the perspective of someone who is always learning, capable of empathy and closeness with students, seeking to accompany you on the magnificent path of the clarinet.

Let's meet to begin or continue this path, whether in French, in Español (que es mi lengua materna), in English (that I speak fluently) edota euskaraz, nire bigarren hizkuntza!
