From 59 C$ /h

Do you want to learn piano in a structured way, with attention for creativity and freedom? It doesn't matter if you don't have any experience or if you do, I'd like to help you level your playing.

I've studied at the Liberal Arts school (Kunsthumaniora) in Antwerp and I'm currently preparing for Conservatory in Antwerp (Jazz Piano). I've got over 7 years experience in piano playing, I combine Jazz, Pop and Rock piano with technical mastery and a modern teaching approach.
Course contents:
- Practical teaching: we work towards a strong basis and search the best and most fun way for you to learn the piano.
- Technique: we focus on good technique and posture, with the right fingering exercises, sight reading exercises and attention for hands-and-foot coordination.
- Theory: besides the playing we also learn to understand what is played (music theory, harmony & improvisation), which results in more creativity.
- Creativity: letting the student take initiative to reach his/her personal goals is a crucial part of my course.

Music is always a big part of my day, and this is why I bring enthousiasm and moderm approaches to the courses.

French student who just moved to Antwerp, I've been giving lessons for years in France and it was such a pleasure, that I want to experience it here again. Specialized in Romanticism/Modern, I also improvise.

I can teach the good habits as a pianist to never hurt yourself and to quickly develop a good technique and musicality: Position, gesture, and practice tools.

I also love to link the pieces with images, paintings, and movies, to create a whole connected world of senses and art.

In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.

At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.

During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

As an experienced music theory tutor and professional pianist, I use a curriculum established by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) in the UK to guide students from grades 1-8 (beginning up to early-advanced levels) towards mastery of music theory. We can start from the beginning and work your way up, or find a suitable level based on prior knowledge. My students regularly achieve highest marks in the ABRSM exams following this system. However, if exams are not your goal, and you would simply like a deeper level of theoretical understanding of your music pieces, we apply the insights gained from this course directly to the pieces you are studying without a lot of stress.

Course components include:

Notation and solfège
Rhythm
Meter
Scales + Arpeggios
Intervals
Chords
Cadences
Harmonic Function
Form and Analysis

My background in music theory derives from my professional musical training in the USA where I followed advanced honors-level music theory, ear-training, musical analysis, and orchestral conducting courses in addition to my regular piano performance studies. The insights provided from these analytical courses have proved immensely beneficial to my own life as a pianist. This knowledge not only speeds up the learning process for a musical piece, but also increases confidence in performance by enhancing memorization skills and providing a higher level of awareness of the components which drive musical phrasing and expression. A knowledge of music theory is therefore a crucial element for proficiency of any instrument and a huge aid to any serious music student.

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

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.
- Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano.

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.
- Songwriting.

I am a graduate of the Antwerp Conservatory of Music and have been playing the cello for 20 years. Despite my young age, since 2012, after winning many auditions, I have played in orchestral projects in 18 European countries. I regularly participated in music courses and workshops.
Currently, I work as a freelancer and am an active concert musician and private teacher.
From my own experience, I know how important it is to practise sensibly and effectively at home, which is why I am happy to help young cello students who cannot count on the help of their parents, who are musicians, in this regard. I also work with adults who want to realise their dreams or return to skills they once acquired.

Music reading is an essential aspect for every musician, from beginners to professional, for either rhythmical and melodic instruments. If you are a beginner or a music student and you need some help, I am here for you. We will go over the basics towards the most difficult rhythms, and we will be also able to read in all the musical keys. Also, we can do basics of harmony and musical analysis.

Does your child enjoy singing, dancing or exploring sounds? These lessons offer a playful introduction to the world of music.

Through singing, movement, listening activities, rhythm games, improvisation and the discovery of different musical instruments, children develop their musical ear, sense of rhythm, creativity and self-confidence.

Each lesson is adapted to the age, interests and pace of the child. No previous musical experience is required. The main goal is for children to enjoy music while learning and expressing themselves in a positive and supportive environment.

Children will have the opportunity to discover a variety of musical instruments and develop a broad musical foundation before choosing a specific instrument in the future.

About me:

I hold a PhD in the Arts and a Master of Music from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. I have several years of experience teaching young children in music academies in Flanders and am passionate about helping children discover music in a creative and enjoyable way.

Lessons can take place at my location and at the student’s home.
