Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Hello! I am Lieve, professional recorder player based in Brussels. With great passion and pleasure I teach everyone who wants to learn how to play the recorder, whether you are just starting out or already have experience. This can be done in Dutch or in English.

Making music is central to my lessons and other aspects are also discussed from there: breathing support, ensemble playing, sound development, technique, ear training... Always tailored to your wishes and interests. We explore various musical styles to discover the different possibilities of this versatile instrument.

I myself have several years of experience in giving individual lessons, group lessons and workshops and I am also active as a musician in various projects, including the Delle Donne Consort.

Curious? Be sure to send me a message and we will make a schedule based on your wishes, agenda and interests! Being able to read music is not a requirement, we can also start this during the lessons.

Are you willing to learn how to play the piano? In this class, you can learn how to play this incredible instrument, as well as develop music theory knowledge such as reading scores, basic harmony, and rhythm. You will also learn how to develop your own musical ideas and find a personal way to express them!

Students of all ages can contact me to follow private lessons live in Brussels or Antwerp or online (via Zoom). I am a classical/jazz-trained pianist and composer who graduated "magna cum laude" with a Master's degree in Composition at the Royale Conservatoire of Antwerp. As a pianist and music teacher, I have several years of experience in private and public schools in Italy and I'm now teaching at the Royale Conservatoire of Antwerp. I am familiar with the classical and jazz repertoire as well as with 20th and 21st-century music. I'm passionate about introducing this beautiful and exciting field of art and its related knowledge.

If you don't have any music experience or if you already know music and want to develop or study a particular argument, my classes focus on the construction of a personalized study trajectory and methods based on the level, interests, and expectations of the student! The most important thing for me is to keep creativity and interest always stimulated for you to develop or continue to grow your love for music!

I’m a sound engineer, music producer, and DJ with a degree from Point Blank Music School (London) and more hours logged at Le Zéro Studio in Brussels than I care to admit. I’ve produced, mixed, and mastered across genres — from rap to electronic to “what the hell is this but it slaps.”
I'm also working on my solo project, if you want to check the proof in the pudding ("imyraj" on all platforms).

Classes will cover the following:

- Music production on Ableton Live 10, 11 & 12 or lite, if you are a beginner.
We can go all the way from the basics of the DAW to music theory, creative sound design, sound engineering, mixing, and mastering, depending on your level.

- DJing
Dj classes will cover everything from preparing your tracks, beat-matching, creative FX, sampling, and understanding what makes a set flow. All genres are welcome, we can practice on your favourite genre!
Software used: Rekordbox or Serato DJ

DJing will be taught on the brand new Pioneer Alpha Theta GRV-6.

Mixing techniques: beatmatching, EQ balance, harmonic mixing

How to use loops

Practical setup tips for live DJ sets

How to prepare and structure a DJ set

And much more, depending on your level and goals

In short:
I’ll teach you my personal approach to DJing — a method based on creativity, identity, and self-expression.
My vision of electronic music goes beyond trends and viral moments: it’s about finding your own sound and making it speak for you.

We will explore the world of electronic music, starting with the basics of sound synthesis and moving on to multi-channel diffusion in 3D audio.
We will see how the most widely used software in the world of electronics (Max/MSP, Ableton, Reaper) works to build performance environments, where we will be able to use the most popular plugins for signal processing or create our own processing engine.
MIDI protocol configuration for controllers, OSC, construction of small electronic circuits with the help of Arduino.
We will pay attention to the acoustic and psychoacoustic aspects of sound that are fundamental for the correct diffusion and listening of music.
We will also take a look at the main audio recording techniques.
As I am very passionate about this and have the necessary equipment, we will have the opportunity to see analog synthesis up close through the use of modular synthesizers.

I'm a certified sound engineer and I have prepared a course for beginners and early intermediates, who want to dive into the world of music production.

I got my bachelor's degree in Music Technology and Acoustics at the Hellenic Mediterranean University. I squeezed out the most useful and meaningful knowledge of a four year curriculum into a 3 month course to help young people save precious time.

Instead of roaming through reels and videos online, join my course and earn a solid foundation in recording techniques, editing, mixing, production techniques, MIDI theory, acoustics theory and the basics of mastering. By the end of the course, you'll be confident enough to produce your first single or EP.
