Amoozeshe piano va notkhani be zabane farsi

Since I was 4 years old, piano has taken a big place in my life and heart, because my father has taught me ever since.
I am extremely excited to share my passion with interested people, whatever their age!
I pay a lot of attention to the position at the piano, so that no injuries occur. I also talk a lot about musical lines and how to produce a good sound on the piano. If you have not taken solfège, I am very happy to help with that as well along with the piano study.
Playing the piano is very personal for everyone, both technically and musically. That is why I think it is very important to look for the best solutions and adapt to each individual student, so that he or she can create his or her own bond with music.
I am currently finishing my Masters with Jan Vermeulen at Luca School of Arts, Leuven.

Lessons are individually and carefully adapted to the student’s age, level, and desired outcome.
From the youngest students, to whom the music and playing the basics are served playfully based on making the music an important part of their development to advanced students with whom we can refine all the musical details and prepare for professional careers.

Are you a beginner who has started to learn guitar on his own, and can't see the trees for the wood anymore? Or do you already have some experience and want to learn something new? Then you've come to the right place!

About myself:
I have been playing both guitar and bass guitar for 8 years. I also have a solid foundation in music theory. I took lessons with Kristof Neyens (rock school leuven) for several years, and now I would like to share my experience.

Classes:
Depending on your preference, we can draw up a lesson plan together with individual assignments. I also try to work as much as possible with the genres that you like to listen to yourself, this is of course more motivating (after all, you don't want to try to teach Mozart to a Metal fan ;))

My approach is certainly not like that of the 'music theory' at the academy. From your first lesson you will immediately start playing songs. I only use music theory if it is really necessary or if you would like to delve into it.

Practical:
I follow distance education so I can actually go at any time of the week, online lessons are also a possibility.

If you contact me and tell me which times suit you, we can certainly find a fixed time together!

Voice Lessons will focus on five major areas of study: register balance, breathing, range building, body posture, and repertoire. During your lessons you will learn exercises designed to balance the registers of chest, middle and head voice. These exercises and the knowledge of music theory will help you accomplish any music goal you set for yourself.

I'm a professional pianist playing piano for already 20 years and I give lessons for children and adults.
I'm the Third prize winner of the European International piano competition in Italy, and
my academic studies include following:

- Master in Piano Performance in Leuven, Belgium
- Master in Piano Performance at the International University of Valencia, Spain
-Bachelor in Piano Performance at the Higher Conservatory in Salamanca, Spain and Musikhochschule Freiburg, Germany

I have studied with some of the leading concert pianists known internationally, including Dmitri Bashkirov, Joop Celis and Eldar Nebolsin. I have given concerts in several concert halls in Spain, Belgium, Portugal and Germany.

I would be glad to help you improve in your playing! The music styles which I teach are classical music, pop music and film music.

The most important thing for me when I teach, is to make the student feel comfortable and enjoy when playing, while improving musically and technically. I can also show you some specific exercises to improve your technique.

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Felipe Olivé began his piano studies under the guidance of Professor Marcilda Clis. Upon entering UNIRIO, he started taking lessons with the pianist and composer Claudio Dauelsberg. He holds a degree in piano from the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe in Germany, where he was a student of Professor Kaya Han. He spent 2 years in Portugal, where he taught at the Academia de Música de Almada. He also received guidance from Professor and pianist Manuel Araújo of the Academia Internacional de Música Aquilles Delle Vigne in Coimbra. Currently, he is pursuing a Master's degree in Piano Performance at LUCA School of Arts in Belgium, with the renowned pianist Sylvia Thereza as his teacher.

He has been awarded in national and international competitions, such as the VII Sardoal Young Talent Award (2nd Prize - ex-aequo in the Piano Solo category; 2nd Prize and Best Portuguese Duo in the Piano Duo category), the Prof. Dichler-Competition 2022 in Vienna (2nd Prize - ex aequo in the Piano Duo category), the I National Piano Competition of the Villa-Lobos Music School (Honorable Mention) in Rio de Janeiro, and the XXVI Souza Lima Piano Competition (Honorable Mention) in São Paulo.

His classes are intended for anyone who wants to start learning music theory and piano or those who already have basic or advanced knowledge. From Classical to Popular music, his teaching method adapts to the goals and individual desires of the student. During the classes, music theory is taught either concurrently or separately from practice, and the repertoire to be played is chosen collaboratively with the student.

Felipe has years of experience as a concert pianist and teacher in academies and music schools. He seeks the most suitable approach for each student, respecting their learning pace, helping overcome difficulties, and exploring their strengths, always encouraging progress.

Graduated in Music - Having studied piano (classical) at the University of Évora (Portugal), Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Germany) and at the Aquiles Delle Vigne International Music Academy. She is currently studying a Masters in Performance at LUCA School of Arts, Leuven, Belgium.
I have a lot of experience in teaching piano and music theory in different musical styles and theoretical/musical training from children to adults, in official conservatories, music schools and private lessons,

In my classes I try to share my musical knowledge, both practically and theoretically. The courses are aimed at those who want to have more direct contact with music, whether for the first time or not. I take great pleasure in teaching and I give great importance to each student. I like to choose repertoire that matches both student's musical tastes and technical work in need. I always try to encourage students and provide quality teaching.
In musical training courses, I help students at conservatories/academies and teach classes to students without any theoretical basis.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch!

Would you like to learn to play drums like your favorite artists? Do you own a drum kit and would you like to take drum lessons in pop and rock music at home (in the Mechelen-Haacht-Leuven area)?

With 20 years of drumming experience, I'd love to introduce you to the wonderful world of drums and percussion and teach you all the tricks of the trade.

Music is the most direct expressive medium we as humans have. You will learn how to read, understand and play it with upmost discipline and emotion.

For young or old. from the ground up, to intermediates wanting to improve. With a teacher that wilk give you ample of dedication.

Have you always wanted not just to play notes, but to truly understand music?
Music is not mechanical training.
It is thinking, feeling, structuring, imagining, and being free at the same time.

I am a musicologist, composer, pianist, organist, and harpsichordist with two academic degrees (Composition & Musicology), more than 10 years of teaching experience, and an active international concert career across Europe. My students study at prestigious music academies, perform on European stages, and develop artistic identity and confidence.
I combine academic precision with creative freedom and a supportive atmosphere.

Each student receives an individual learning plan. I adapt my method depending on age, level, and goals — whether it is:
- first musical steps at 4–6 years old
- hobby lessons for adults
- serious professional preparation
- exam or competition preparation

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and even neuroaesthetics research, I help students:
- understand how music works
- develop musical thinking
- improve memory and artistic expression
- build a technical foundation without tension
- gain confidence in performance

Send me a message — and we will create your personal musical path.

Music is not only about playing.
It is about discovering yourself through sound.

Hello, I am Laís!
I am a pianist and dedicated piano teacher with advanced academic training in both Brazil and Belgium, currently completing my second Master’s degree at LUCA School of Arts under the guidance of Sylvia Thereza, a respected pianist and former student of the great Maria João Pires. My musical journey has also taken me to Sweden through an exchange program, and I have been fortunate to receive several prestigious scholarships along the way, supporting both my artistic and academic development.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience, including 6 years working extensively with online students from different backgrounds and levels. Throughout this time, I have helped students achieve meaningful goals, including successful admission into a German music university. My approach is both structured and flexible: I focus on building a solid technical foundation while nurturing musical expression, always adapting to each student’s pace and personality.

Lessons take place mostly in the heart of Leuven, and I also offer online lessons to students anywhere in the world. My online teaching is known for its high quality, clarity, and effectiveness, creating a focused and engaging learning environment where students can make real and consistent progress.

I aim to create a warm, supportive space where students feel comfortable, motivated, and inspired to grow musically :-)
Lessons can be given in English or Portuguese. Get in touch for a first lesson!
