At its core, music theory is the study of how music works. It explores the structures and systems that composers and musicians use to create the sounds that we love. In this course, we will cover the basics of music notation, intervals, scales, chords, harmony, and form, among other topics. Throughout the course, we will examine musical examples from a variety of styles and genres, including classical, jazz, pop, and folk music. We will also explore the historical context of music theory and the ways in which different musical cultures and traditions have developed their own unique approaches to creating and understanding music. By the end of this course, you will have a deeper understanding of the building blocks of music and the ways in which they are combined to create different musical styles and genres. You will also be able to read and analyze musical notation, identify and describe different musical elements, and have the tools to begin composing your own music. Whether you are a musician looking to expand your knowledge of music theory, a music student seeking a solid foundation in the basics, or simply a music lover interested in learning more about the mechanics of music, this course is for you. So let's dive in and explore the fascinating world of music theory together!

Tanja graduated from the Conservatory for Teaching Musician and is also a Performing Musician (Soloist) in Classical Piano. Piano lessons for beginners and advanced students of all ages - All ages between 5 years and 80 years - Classic and all the styles you like - Theory lesson - Possibility to participate in National Piano Degree Examinations The piano lessons are given at my home in Alphen aan den Rijn, given on a Yamaha grand piano to children and adults ranging in age from 5 to 82 years. I have been doing this with great pleasure for years! In addition to learning good piano technique, I also pay a lot of attention to developing musicality. Many people appear to be able to play more musically than they thought possible! You do not need to know the notation in advance, you can easily learn this during the piano lessons, so in a playful manner. During the lessons I teach you how to best study, which will make your progress 3x faster. The piano lessons are adapted to the level and ambition of the students. My goal in general is to get as much out of it as possible in the shortest possible time. Naturally, it is individually adapted to each student's wishes and abilities. All this in a relaxed, positive atmosphere with humor. You can join at any level, from absolute beginner to very advanced. Preparation for the entrance exam to the Conservatory is also possible. For beginners I use Piano Lesson Methods to create a good foundation. In addition and afterwards, we do everything you like and I always give appropriate advice. For some students it can be an extra motivation and incentive to set goals within a certain time period. During the lessons we can then discuss an action plan and work towards this goal. This can also be done officially through national Piano Exams. These are organized by EPTA (European Piano Teachers Organisation). Because of my membership it is possible for students to participate! My membership with Epta Nederland (European Piano Teachers Association) keeps me up-to-date with all developments in the field of piano lessons. Hope to see you again!

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Hello! I've been teaching continuously for over 10 years, and I'd like to explain what you can expect from a class with me. Personalized approach: The most important thing is to know what you want to achieve. I will tailor the lessons to your needs: playing for pleasure at home is not the same as preparing for entrance exams (although always with the same rigor). Your goals will influence the methodology, the organization of your studies, the repertoire, and so on. Relaxed (but rigorous) environment: Once you've defined your goals, classes will be dynamic and pressure-free. Note! "Relaxed" doesn't mean undemanding; we'll just avoid military methods—especially given my personality and sense of humor. Music, not just notes: My methods are very dynamic, with a special emphasis on hearing and musicality. No "read, play, and turn the page." I avoid approaches obsessed with reading sheet music without memorizing, listening, or understanding what is being played. I want you to own your performance and make artistic decisions. Warning! I might even make you sing. No stylistic barriers: Thanks to my training in Jazz and Modern Music, I give equal importance to all genres. Adapting to your tastes, we'll go from baroque to blues, from Haydn to bebop... or even Michael Jackson. Why not? If you identify with this approach, contact me! Learning the cello is a pleasure, and I'd love to share it with you!

I have completed 3 years of intensive bass study at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and am currently playing bass plus backing-vocals and song arrangement for Kids of the Elephant and Arrubio. In these lessons, I will help you reach your goals while having fun in the process, keeping the lessons structured and tailored to your personal needs. I have 5 years of experience helping students improve as well as specialist knowledge in a multitude of styles. Some examples of what you might learn include: - Correct hand positioning & posture for best performance and faster learning. - Learning your favorite songs quickly and easily. - Breaking down rhythms & dynamics - Understanding the role of bass playing in a band. - Understanding what makes a good bassline and composing your own. - Essential music theory for bass & more advanced techniques (eg: melodic techniques, rhythmic, slap bass, etc) - How to improvise, jam and play with other musicians. Appropriate homework/exercises and recordings are provided during lessons. I also like to give advice and direction for people with musical aspirations. I'm also an empathetic person that loves teaching, so don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
