From connection to production through and configuration and until the final result is obtained on social networks or music platforms, you will learn all the intermediate steps to spread your creativity in the connected world.

With specific expertise on Apple Logic Proc X and Ableton Live, the same principles are valid on any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) as well as on the configuration that is specific to you.

I also advise you on the hardware (physical hardware / software) to buy according to your specific needs.

This applies to anyone without age barrier, as long as the will and passion is there ...

Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student.

My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing.

If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering.

I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire.
Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home.

For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software).

Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse.

I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).

What are the steps to compose an entire song? Where do we start? How to make it sound "pro"? How can I reproduce the sounds I imagine? How do we know when we're done? How do you know which tools and techniques to use and when?

The questions are many when it comes to producing a track and even more are the answers, but don't panic! There is a solution.

After several years of making music, I ended up synthesizing a step-by-step method that allows you to produce a song from the first ideas to the final result that you can make listen to your loved ones, or your fans!

In particular, you will learn to:

- Prepare your work session to save time and make your life easier
- Compose and produce percussion that sounds professional and rich
- Find interesting chord sequences even without knowing how to play an instrument
- Find melodies that stick in your head
- Build an arrangement and finish a piece when you're stuck and can't move on
- Pre-mix your track so it sounds great wherever you listen to it
- Know which plugin to use and when

To take this course, you don't have to know how to play an instrument, master recording software or have the same software as me. No matter your level, I will teach you all the techniques you need to know to compose songs that you can be proud of by adapting to what you already know and conforming to your desires and your objectives.

In other words, tell me what your needs are and I'll adapt my lessons accordingly :)

Glad to have you as a student,

Arthur.

I am a DJ (known as Snej) and I teach mixing both digitally and on vinyl. My course starts from the basics: we will learn how to use equipment such as the CDJ-2000 Nexus, the Xone 92 and the Technics 1200 MK2 turntables.

We'll cover how to select your music, where to find it (platforms, sources), how to organize it effectively, and how to use Rekordbox. We'll also cover the basics of mixing, beatmatching, and understanding musical tonalities to better grasp the structure and energy of tracks.

You will learn how to build a coherent mix, create your own podcast, and choose music according to the mood, the moment, and the audience.

We will also talk about the reality of DJing in the evening: what to check before getting behind the decks, the essential points to know, as well as tips and tricks for mixing in front of an audience, whether in a club or any other type of event.

I'll also share my personal experience as a DJ: I started from scratch, created my own events, mixed alongside international artists, and played in various clubs abroad. We'll cover everything you need to know about bookings: fees, what to ask for, and how to operate as a DJ, especially internationally.

We will also cover the creation of a technical rider, an artist press kit, important information to pass on to promoters, as well as everything related to promoting an artist.

I'm a 32-year-old DJ and I've been mixing since I was 18. I've progressed through all the stages: from starting out in my basement for friends, to birthday parties, to becoming a resident DJ at a club with international DJs. I've organized my own events, DJed abroad, and I've also worked as a club promoter, which has given me a deep understanding of the promotional side of things and the criteria for selecting DJs.

Today, I continue to DJ all over Belgium.

Finally, the course can be given in French, Dutch, English and possibly Spanish.

If you are looking for a young and dynamic teacher, this is a good start! But I can also guarantee a real commitment and a real structure in my teaching.

I have been a piano teacher for several years now, which guarantees me solid experience.
I teach piano to students of all ages and levels and can adapt according to their wishes: (for musical styles I can very well teach the basics of classical/rock/blues or even jazz up to a very advanced level).
For those interested in composition or computer music, I could definitely guide them to develop their creativity.

I propose that we arrange a first lesson during which we can get to know each other and where I can assess your desires and needs in order to plan, if necessary, lessons or simple exercises specific to your profile.

I really enjoy teaching; I like the diversity of student profiles and the necessary adaptation to each individual.
Furthermore, I consider the transmission of knowledge to be something of paramount importance in a society.
