I want the marimba student to become aware of the different sounds that a marimba can produce, based on those sounds I want to improve his technique and teach him to phrase. All this from relaxation. We also look at the different techniques that are possible on the marimba and find which one suits you best. I teach both beginners and advanced students.
Extra information
Bring your entire collection of sticks so that we can see how many colors you can already mix on the instrument.

Together we will go through the use of Vibraphone as a solo instrument and its role in an ensemble as an accompanying or improvisational instrument. From classical to jazz/pool/rock this instrument has so much to offer in colors, pedal use, 2 or 4 sticks, effects and more to breathe a full and unique new life into any ensemble.
Marimba lessons can be given at the student's home if he/she has one, at my home there is a vibraphone.

Many might be thinking piano is a difficult instrument. I had learned piano since 4 years old, and i had achieved Grade 8 (trinity certificate). however, i had never enjoyed until the age of 16 years old, so i understood what could be the obstacles.

Now i am 40 years old and do enjoy playing it intensely for many years.

I had taught adults and children piano for almost 6 years and they had reported successful and satisfying experiences with me. You can decide what you want to learn, theories, note reading, or jump into songs learning through variation of Chords.

Learning how to play the piano is a goal you can reach only by frequent exercising.
Considering the fact that many pupils and grownups don't have much time to practise, my piano lessons are split in learning new information and also practising together.

Are you ready to unleash your inner rock star? If you've ever wanted to learn how to play the drums, now is the time! Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced musician looking to improve your skills, I'm here to help you achieve your goals.

In my drum lessons, we'll start by laying down the foundation of drumming techniques, including proper posture, grip, and rhythm. We'll then move on to learning various drumming styles, such as rock, pop, funk, and more. I'll help you develop your sense of timing, coordination, and dynamics, as well as how to read sheet music and play along with songs.

One of the things that makes my drum lessons unique is that I tailor the curriculum to fit your individual needs and interests. Whether you want to focus on a particular genre of music or develop a specific skill, I'll create a customized lesson plan to help you reach your goals.

Above all, my drum lessons are designed to be fun, engaging, and inspiring. I believe that learning music should be a joyful and fulfilling experience, and I'm passionate about sharing my love of drumming with students of all ages and levels. So what are you waiting for? Let's start drumming!

From never having picked up sticks to further deepening your basic skills. In my lessons you will learn how to sound like a rock or metal drummer. Accents, speed, double bass drum, fills, learning your favorite song, you will do it here.

Electric as well as acoustic drumming are used here.

Customized lessons:
Teaching beginning children, beginning adults, or experienced students are completely different experiences that require completely different methods.

A constant focus in all cases is to ensure that students learn notation and music reading, which gives them some independence.

As a first step, I create a plan together with the student, depending on his or her personal goals, and supplement this with musical pieces that I think will complement the learning path.

Practical information:

I am available for online classes from August and at home from September 15, but I will not close schedules until the beginning of October.

If you have any questions or specific comments, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Hello everybody! My name is Alejandro. I am a professional classical pianist with a bachelor and two master degrees (one in the conservatory of Ghent "classic piano performance master" and another in Spain "teaching master"). At the moment I am also studying another master classical fortepiano in the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

I have a lot of experience teaching in various music schools, professional academies and also privately. I have given piano concerts in several countries such as Spain, England, Italy and Belgium, so I am quite open minded in my teaching and I try to adapt my experience abroad to all types of students.

I mainly teach in English, Dutch and Spanish. My lessons are focused on the individual needs of the student, taking into account what each student has to improve. Enjoying music is the most important goal in my teaching method. I can mainly teach in the student house, but I have my own keyboard in my home in Ghent Center. Online is also an option (I also have experience with this way of working). I am always available for students to send questions or doubts during the week!


Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have.
