My methodology is based on following the method that best suits the student. If the student is interested, for example, in getting started with classical music, we would work on technique exercises, as well as studies or pieces designed for this purpose. There would also be a classical repertoire component, while at the same time giving the student the option to work on any type of music they wish. These classes would also include basic music theory to begin familiarizing themselves with reading sheet music. If the student wishes to learn a specific type of music other than classical, such as jazz, blues, or pop, the same methods would be applied, but adapted to these different musical genres. Even so, I am flexible in dividing the class as the student wishes, focusing solely on learning to play, or covering more ground by delving into the theory and practices that lie beyond mere practice. In my piano teaching method, I would combine the classical training I've received and found relevant with modern musical methods such as improvisation and ear training. My lessons would be structured, for example, as follows: - We would begin with an articulation warm-up, followed by some technical exercises to familiarize the hand. Articulation exercises played together with the teacher would also be included. - Afterwards, we would play a technical piece, such as an étude, prelude, invention... Alternatively, we could dedicate part of the lesson to working on a musical aspect, such as scales, chords, and scale degrees. - And we would conclude by playing a piece/song requested by the student. Finally, I would like to clarify that I am open to make an agreement with the student on the theoretical, practical, and thematic structure of the lessons.

As a fourth-year conservatory student, I offer fun and good piano lessons for every level. The lessons can take place on location or at home. A standard piano lesson takes half an hour with me. This can take place once a week, every 2 weeks, or every month. For people who play a lot or are more advanced, half an hour is sometimes not enough, for them I also offer lessons of 45 minutes or an hour. With your wishes first, we make a lesson plan with which you can get to know the piano (better) as quickly as possible.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

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.

My piano lessons are structured, encouraging, and designed to make learning piano feel both achievable and fun. Students learn the fundamentals they need to become confident musicians, including music reading, proper technique, rhythm, and playing skills, while also getting to learn songs they actually enjoy. I believe that learning music shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating. I break down new concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps and adjust my teaching to each student’s age, experience level, learning style, and goals. Whether you’re completely new to piano or looking to build on skills you already have, we’ll work together to help you make steady progress. No prior experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for music! I’m excited to help you begin (or continue) your musical journey!
