From 46.66 C$ /h
I'm Melani, I'm 26 years old and I live in Antwerp. I’ve been studying the clarinet since I was 7 years old and I have taught children and teenagers from the age of 20. This is my second year studying here, in Master 2 at the Antwerp Conservatory as a clarinetist with Julien Hervè (principal clarinet of the Rotterdam Philharmonic). I’m really enjoy teaching and I feel that it is something I’m very good at and it gives me expierence in my musical career :)
Kind regards,
Melani.

About Me
Melani is a 27-year-old clarinetist originally from Belgium, currently residing in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. She began her musical studies at the age of seven at the local music school, where she was fortunate to receive private instruction from the esteemed Sabine Grofmeier. Encouraged by Ms. Grofmeier to pursue further musical education, subsequently enrolled in the medium-grade music program in Palma, under the tutelage of Jordi Rumbau.
In 2018, she moved to Valencia to continue her studies with Emilio Ferrando, completing her Bachelor’s degree in 2022. She then advanced her studies at the Music Academy of Valencia, under the guidance of Vicente Alberola, until June 2023. Currently, is pursuing a Master’s degree (Master 1) at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, where she is under the mentorship of Julien Hervé.
Throughout her academic career, has had the privilege of participating in masterclasses with a number of distinguished professors, including Wenzel Fuchs, Chi Yu Mo, Arno Piters, Eddy Vanoosthuyse, Johannes Peitz, and José Luis Estellés, among others. She has performed with several prestigious orchestras, including the Philharmonic Orchestra of the University of Valencia, the Orchestral Encounters of the Balearic Islands, and the Chamber Orchestra of Mallorca. In addition to her proficiency in the B-flat clarinet, she is also accomplished on the bass clarinet and the E-flat clarinet, both of which she owns and regularly plays.
is motivated by a strong desire to further her artistic and professional development. She seeks to study abroad in order to broaden her cultural perspectives, experience diverse musical traditions, and refine her interpretative approach. Her ultimate ambition is to attain the highest level of training, thereby positioning herself for inclusion in leading symphonic orchestras—an aspiration she views as a central goal in her career. She is convinced that the value placed on music in her home country is not as pronounced as it is in other parts of Europe, which has strongly influenced her decision to seek educational opportunities outside of Spain.
Although finds it easier to express herself through music than through words, she is confident that the next phase of her studies will provide her with the tools, experiences, and opportunities necessary to reach her full potential as a musician and to contribute meaningfully to the international music scene.
