Violin lessons, singing and music theory for children and adults

From 64 £ /h

I am a lyric singer who graduated from Codarts, University of Arts Rotterdam, and I am also a violinist who graduated from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels.

I sing in choirs and as a freelance soloist. I have sung at the Amsterdam Opera, Vienna Opera, Italy, and Jordan, and have also performed in recital at Bozar in Brussels, Teatro Verdi in Florence, as well as in France and the Netherlands.

Among the roles I have sung on stage are Liu in Turandot by Puccini, Donna Elvira in Gon Giovanni by Mozart, Musetta in La Bohème by Puccini, La Sacerdotessa in Aida by Verdi, Gilda in Rigoletto by Verdi, Berta in Il Barbiere di Siviglia by Rossini, Lucy in The Telephone by Menotti.

In addition to performing live, I enjoy sharing my passion for music with my students. I've had the pleasure of teaching for 12 years.

I adapt my teaching method to each student according to their abilities and interests. I mainly teach classical music, but also pop and popular music. My goal is to make learning music fun while assimilating technique so that the student progresses while staying motivated.

An important aspect I want to instill in my students is the ability to perform in public. That's why I organize numerous concerts for interested students, giving them the opportunity to experience the stress and preparations of a concert, thus developing their self-confidence and stage presence. Each year, we create a show based on a musical work, allowing students to develop a role, interact with other musicians, and thus get as close as possible to the artistic experience.

Extra information

It is important for the student to have his own violin.

About Me

I am a student at Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel in classical violin.
I really like teaching violin and solfege because it's extremely rewarding to see your students progress.
I try to adapt my pedagogy to each student and I listen to his desires (which pieces he prefers to play, what technical points he wants to improve) so that he can blossom through music.
Regular work is extremely important so there is a result, and more fun to play.

Singing lessons :
Graduate of the Brussels Conservatory in jazz singing (Master), I sing professionally and am pedagogue for 20 years now. I offer private lessons and semi-singing in Watermael-Boitsfort (corner of the broom).

INDIVIDUAL LESSON OF 45 OR 60 MINUTES
Classes are directed to the desires and demands of the student.
Here is what I propose ...

Voice technique: through vocalizations and other fun exercises, learn to use your body and your voice in an effective and healthy way.

Directory (or not): chosen by the student and the teacher. My preference goes to jazz and all its branches and roots (bossa, brazilian, blues, gospel, polyphony, ...) because it's for me the best training but I'm open and I sing myself (almost) every other styles ;-)

Improvisation: the best for the end :-) listening exercise, creativity, self-expression, voice and musicality. Through very progressive and clear exercises, we will explore (if the pupil desires) vocal improvisation.

90 and 120-MINUTE GROUP CLASSES
Rhythm Classes: Workshops in rhythm, body and voice.
Thursday (2nd Thursday of the month) 8pm-9:30pm at the center in Brussels

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 name is Martine, I have been a jazz singer and voice teacher for 25 years. I offer private or group lessons, for teenagers and adults, tailor-made, in a friendly atmosphere! For the technical part (voice pose, abdominal breathing) a little rigor is required, but from the first class, you sing the song of your choice! No music theory required!

If you are a beginner: get to know your voice and let yourself be surprised! Singing will make you express emotions, strengthen your self-confidence, and let's never forget that singing is above all a pleasure! A singing lesson energizes and calms at the same time. When we sing, we feel good!

If you already have a technical background, come and deepen your interpretation, your posture, your presence and your stage confidence, prepare an audition, a concert, a studio, ...

If your voice "lets go", you lose potential, do not hesitate to come and do a vocal assessment, I work with voice professionals!

Classes are given every day of the week, afternoons and evenings. The individual lesson lasts 1 hour. The frequency is to be fixed according to your budget and your availability. Group lessons are organized on request. I also give singing lessons at home, in the south of Brussels.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information!

My name is Francisco, I am an Argentinian guitarist currently living in Brussels. I am finishing my studies at the conservatory (KCB), but I have been playing for most of my life and teaching privately and in music academics for a few years already.
Although my main focus musically is in jazz and improvisation in general, I am also into funk, blues, rock, pop, indie and folk.

I would define my teaching style as flexible, in the sense that I believe in building a programme together with each of my students, in the which his or her specific musical interests are covered and the same time, diving into and developing the areas which I consider fundamental, regardless of the musical style or genre: rhythm and time feel, sound, technique, posture and fretboard knowledge.

Some of the topics that we will cover:

Repertoire (learning songs)
Triads and scales
Chords
Metronome exercises
Picking
Left and right hand coordination

And more!

I am a professional musicologist and violinist with a master's degree from a conservatory. I teach using special methods that I developed over my 20 years of experience.

I offer you a unique approach combining vocal technique and creative expression.

In just one session, you will learn a sustainable method that will allow you to:

• Sing or rap independently, with fluidity and confidence,
• Better understand and tame your voice, how it works and its nuances,
• Unleash your creativity and improvise naturally, spontaneously.

My method is based on simplicity and is accessible to all. You can master it from the first session... and it will stay with you for a lifetime.

For those who want to go further: I invite you to create a song together, from composition to production. A step-by-step guide will help you practice the technique while creating a song that reflects your personality.

Hi, I'm Stephanie, professional violinist and teacher with more than 10 years of teaching experience, working with students from young beginners through to ATCL diploma level. I trained at the Conservatoire Royal de Liège in the Franco-Belgian violin tradition and currently perform with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra.

My teaching combines strong technical foundations with listening, musical curiosity and confidence. Growing up in Hong Kong, I began my own violin studies with the Suzuki Method, and I am now continuing my training in Suzuki pedagogy. I particularly value its emphasis on learning through listening, positive encouragement and developing good habits naturally.

I want lessons to be enjoyable and encouraging, while still giving students the tools to become thoughtful and independent musicians. My experience includes individual teaching as well as orchestras, bands and ensembles, so rhythm, listening to others and making music together are also important parts of my teaching.

Lessons are adapted to each student's age, level and goals, whether learning for enjoyment or preparing for exams, competitions and performances. Previous students have progressed from beginner to ATCL level, with several receiving prizes at the Hong Kong Schools Music Festival.
