Learning to play guitar in Antwerp: tailor-made lessons.

From 100.27 C$ /h

Whether you are an absolute beginner or an advanced guitarist, together we map out your personal trajectory. Would you like to play classical pieces, learn more pop songs or improvise? That's all possible!

After my classical guitar studies at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp, I started to specialize in music pedagogy with a specific focus on instrumental learning by ear and creative music making. Because of my insight into musical learning, I can adapt my lessons to your level and your preferences. I also have experience with various musical styles, so I'm flexible in that too!

Lessons take place at my home in Antwerp, but on location is also possible (subject to a fee and only for lessons of 1 hour).

About Me

Hey!

My name is Toon and I have been playing guitar since I was eight years old. Since then I have been completely sold. I hope to be able to pass on my passion for the instrument to you. As a musician and composer I am active in my own project farfar, and have played in several other bands in the past. I know my way around both classical and electric guitar. I am a jovial and open person and I have a good listening ear. I always try to take into account the personality and wishes of my students when designing my lessons.

Education

As a child I always took music lessons at the music academy, both classical and electric guitar. Then I went to study classical guitar at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. There I followed a Bachelor, Master and Specific Teacher Training.

Experience / Qualifications

Throughout my studies at the conservatory I taught in various music studios. After my studies I started working in music academies, which I have been doing for six years now.

Discover the world of mandolin and guitar through personalised lessons adapted to your interests, goals, and experience level.

I am a professional musician, teacher, and researcher based in Antwerp, holding a PhD in the Arts, a Master of Music, and a Bachelor of Music from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. I also have several years of teaching experience in music academies in Belgium and extensive experience as a performer in Belgium, Greece, and abroad.

Lessons are open to children, teenagers, and adults, from complete beginners to more advanced students. Whether you would like to learn your first chords, develop your technique, improve your musical expression, or explore a particular style of music, lessons are tailored to your individual needs.

For mandolin students, lessons can include classical repertoire, folk and traditional music, technique, music reading, ear training, ensemble playing, and stylistic interpretation. Guitar students can work on classical or folk guitar, accompaniment techniques, chords, rhythm, reading music, and repertoire development.

My teaching approach combines technical development with creativity and musical enjoyment. I aim to create a supportive learning environment where students can progress at their own pace while building confidence and musical skills.

SONGS generally consist of chord and text lines. But where does that information come from and how do you make something out of nothing? How do you make that one great hIT or how strongly does your new song affect your love? Well, that's called "inspiration processing" and how does that work? Well, I'll tell you that in my course.
If you already play the guitar or piano, you are one step ahead. Your instrument is like a trampoline that offers you more options to go further and higher.
Most 'songs' are born at the craziest moments. A good songwriter his / her antennas are always open :-) and for some it is a continuous activity.
During my course I teach you through all sorts of tips and tricks (including: Travel Chord Duo Method - One Four Five and minor input - Key Word Designation and Relative Chord Progressions etc.) how you can achieve strong songs.
For me it is a daily activity and I have been writing all my life for others and sometimes for myself. All in all I have sold more than a million copies worldwide as an author / composer / performer. Is that little or is that a lot? I do not know. It doesn't interest me that much anymore.
I want to share my knowledge about how to write a song with motivated people who want to go further than just replaying others' songs. Whether they get stuck somewhere during composing and who are not afraid to seek advice.
Music is a life flirt. There are only two types of music: good and bad ...
Do you have a foundation of chords, do you want to know how to make a good song .....? Just book an hour to get started. That is the scan hour. Are we lying together and is there a click? If you book and I confirm, then you also know who I am and where I hide :-) Not satisfied after the first 'lesson'?

I can give lessons to players who already have some foundation and would like to improve or learn new techniques. I prefer a relaxed teaching approach tailored to the player's individual interests. I play metal, rock, blues, and some classical and flamenco.

I can help you learn your favorite licks, and solos and explain theory if interested.
We can go over the techniques:

• Alternate picking
• Economy picking
• Legato
• Sweep picking
• tapping
• vibrato & bending

There is no strict structure. Lessons are flexible and can be arranged on an ad-hoc basis.

Do you want to learn how to compose your own music? Do you want to be able to express yourself and put your own thoughts in musical form? In this Classical Composition or Songwriting class, that's exactly what we'll be focusing on! You can choose to focus on composing classical music, using scores, or creating your own songs, either for you or other people to sing. You will learn music theory, learn how to use music software like reaper, ableton, sibelius or musescore, and you'll work alongside me to discover your own voice in music making.

My name is Bernardo and I am a composer from Portugal who specializes and studies contemporary classical music. I also create my own songs in a singer-songwriter style and I have made music for film and videogame.
I am currently doing a master's in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp where I study with Wim Henderickx. I have studied in the past with composers such as Luís Tinoco, Carlos Caires and Eurico Carrapatoso.
My works have been played in several European concert halls and I have in my portfolio works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, orchestra and choir.

I am also currently doing a bachelor's in singing at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, so if you are a singer-songwriter, we can also work on your own voice.

Nice to meet you :D

My name is Melvin, and I'm a pianist/composer and music theorist who loves to guide people with a passion for music! In my lessons, I teach three different subjects in which I specialize and perhaps can help you improve your skills as a musician.

If you want to play the piano intuitively, without thinking about it, or interpret scores, then Piano + Improvisation is the course for you! Together, we'll break through the boundaries of traditional sheet music and teach you to unleash your inner musicality. Whether you're a beginning pianist longing to improvise simple melodies or an experienced player looking to explore new expressive paths, I'll inspire and encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Have you always wanted to write your own music, but don't know how to get started? Then together we'll push your creative boundaries and help you develop your own musical masterpieces. Whether you're a budding composer taking your first steps or an experienced musician looking for new inspiration, I'm here to guide and inspire you on your unique composition journey.

Need some theory because you don't understand certain elements of music? No worries! Step by step, we'll explore the fundamentals of music theory together, delving into notes, chords, rhythm, and structure. You'll discover how all these elements work together to create masterpieces, or to better understand scores as a musician.

I'm looking forward to meeting you :D

As a passionate professional guitarist I am looking forward to passing this passion on to other people. I will guide you in your journey through the classical guitar, and hope to stimulate your curiosity. I will not only guide you technically but I will also bring you the meaning of the music.

The lessons can be for beginners or advanced. I work with scores and not with tablatures. I do this because classical music is easier to understand that way. So I teach you to read scores and to be able to play them on the guitar. For the advanced we will mainly work on refining the repertoire, technical skills and tone projection.
