About Me

David is a Belgian pianist-composer, with Spanish roots, researcher, educator and speaker.

He has studied with maestros such as Irene Russo, Alessandro Cervino, Joop Celis, Julien Libeer and Peter Feuchtwanger – the Zen master of piano.

Piano
In 2001 he won the first prize of the Musicologica piano competition, Leuven, Belgium, as well as the first prize for the interpretation of the compulsory work Bachatelle by Peter Swinnen. He concertises all over the globe, mostly in Europe. In 2016 and 2017 he played in the oldest Spanish spa resort, La Encarnación, Los Alcázares, Spain, for a select audience of 100 people in an open patio. A special mention goes to a piano recital he gave in 2013 in Mozarte, Quito, Ecuador.

Composer
As a composer, David won the Best Soundtrack award at Ciné Public Festival (Belgium, 2009) for the movie El camino del deseo by Eva. He later formally studied composition with Jeroen D'hoe at LUCA School of Arts (Belgium, 2015).

David's music has an evocative visual quality. It speaks to the senses and is rooted in human experience, often with a Spanish touch.

Researcher
As a neuropsychologist, David understands that playing the piano is the most complete brain workout. He teaches brain friendly piano learning based on the latest neuropsychological research.

Jean-Jacques Eigeldinger's book Chopin vu par ses élèves contains among other things Chopin's independent finger exercises. Chopin's 4 touches will revolutionize your piano playing making even the hardest passages perfectly playable with ease and enjoyment.

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

In the lesson, the focus is on technique, speed, reading skills, coordination, all different styles, and what the student wants to play.
If you are struggling with speed or if you are just starting to play, good technique is very important. Moreover, a badly learned technique is difficult to unlearn later.
I can also help you with the purchase of new equipment.
The lessons take place at the student's home.

Have you always wanted to learn how to play the piano or want to understand more about how music works? Then I invite you to take lessons with me!

Whether you have never touched a piano before or already have some experience, together we will find the perfect teaching method for you. Beginners will start from the basics, while advanced pianists can build on their existing skills. Reading music is certainly not a requirement, but if you can, that is a nice bonus! Together we will determine what you want to learn or play, so that we can work specifically on your musical goals. Everything is possible!

Who am I? My name is Staf, and my passion for piano started in the sixth grade, in 2005. After my studies at PXL Music, I successfully completed my training as a pianist. In addition, I have been teaching music in secondary education for several years. Now I would like to share that experience and knowledge with others. In addition to piano lessons, I also provide support in music production with Logic X, so if you have any questions about producing music, you have come to the right place.

The lessons take place in Malderen, Londerzeel.

For questions or more information, don't hesitate to contact me. I'm looking forward to making music together!

As a piano teacher, I possess a strong musical ear, extensive piano skills, and a broad knowledge of music and music theory. Thanks to my experience as a music teacher, I can guide students in their musical development in a clear, structured, and inspiring way. I am fluent in sight-reading and can quickly analyze and explain music, which helps me support students efficiently and purposefully during their learning process.

In my lessons, I combine technical development with musical understanding and expression. Patience, clear communication, and a positive learning environment are essential to me. Every student is different, which is why I use a personal approach that pays attention to the pace, level, and goals of each student. My strong motivational skills help students gain confidence in their playing and continue to enjoy learning music.

An important part of my work as a piano teacher is recognizing my students' strengths and weaknesses. By observing and listening carefully, I can provide targeted advice and adapt exercises so that students develop step by step. I help them improve their technique, deepen their musicality, and strengthen their confidence on the instrument.

The primary task in my piano lessons is to motivate students and make them enthusiastic about playing the piano. I want students not only to learn to play, but also to develop a true love for music. Therefore, I pay attention to technical skills as well as musical interpretation and listening skills.

During the lessons, I work systematically on the development of hand and finger technique. This is done through targeted exercises such as scales, arpeggios, chord structures, and other technical exercises that help build flexibility, strength, and control in the fingers. Additionally, I guide students in reading sheet music correctly, understanding rhythm, dynamics, phrasing, and musical expression.

I also develop and use adapted teaching materials and exercises that match the student's level and progress. By regularly reviewing and adjusting the exercises and techniques, I ensure that students build a solid technical and musical foundation.

In addition to learning to play existing pieces, I also focus on understanding music. Therefore, students in my lessons are also introduced to elements of music theory, so that they better understand how music is structured. This helps them practice more independently, learn new music faster, and develop a deeper insight into music.

My goal as a piano teacher is to create an inspiring learning environment in which students can develop musically, discover their creativity, and grow step by step as musicians. Playing the piano is not only a technical skill but also an art form through which people can express emotions, ideas, and stories. Therefore, in my lessons, I always try to connect technique, knowledge, and musical experience.

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.

The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.
It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect.

Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation.
Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best.

As a teacher I am familiar with different styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
There is also the option to work from improvisations.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

My name is Marta, and I'm from Galicia (Spain). I completed my piano Bachelor and postgraduate studies in the Higher School of Music of the Basque Country, and I'm pursuing now a Master's degree in the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.

During 10 years I've been teaching private lessons and working in Music Schools facilitating and guiding very different learning processes: from introducing young children to music and the piano through play or teaching basic harmony for song accompaniment, to supporting more experienced and dedicated students preparing official examinations. Always trying to create a musical and pianistic learning process as enriching, coherent, enjoyable and organic as possible.
