About Me

Maxime was born on December 27, 1995 in Woluwe Saint-Lambert in Belgium. At the age of 8, he started viola at the Braine-L'Alleud Academy of Music with Pascale Heersbrandt. He studied with her for 9 years. He also enriched his knowledge by taking courses such as music theory, singing, piano, theater, the study of harmony and the history of music. Quickly, thanks to the chamber music lessons he took with Marie-Carmen Suarez, he discovered the pleasure of playing with other musicians. In 2013, in addition to his work with Pascale Heersbrandt, he perfected his skills for a year with Daniel Rubenstein, professor at the Royal Conservatory of Mons. After successfully completing his upper secondary education and the music academy in 2013, he decided to take a year off in order to improve his technique and musicality in order to continue music professionally. That year, after a masterclass in Spain, where he met Paul De Clerck, he decided to continue his apprenticeship with him. In September 2014, Maxime therefore made his debut at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Brussels, in the class of Paul De Clerck. After having obtained his Masters there, he decides to pursue a third cycle, the Concert-musicus, which he finishes in September 2020 with "magna cum laude" mention. During these six years, Maxime had the opportunity to participate in several masterclasses with among others Alexei Moshkov, Marjolein Dispa, Sven Arne Tepl, Maté Szucs, Veit Hertenstein, Peijun Xu and Nobiko Imai. Maxime has a passion for chamber music and continues to deepen his practice of ensemble playing. He also follows masterclasses with musicians such as Amy Norringhton, Guy Danel, Tony Nys, Philippe Graffin and Marko Ylönen. Maxime also studied at the Hochschule für Muzik und Tanz in Cologne (Germany) with professors Peijun Xu and Veit Hertenstein where he obtained his master's degree in solo instrument and chamber music with the mention “Zehr gut”. In October 2016, he had the opportunity to play with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, this project aimed at collaboration between young musicians and professionals (RCO Meets Europe). Maxime has been solo viola of the Young Belgian Strings since 2017 and has won several awards such as the Classics Belfius (2nd prize) and the Colonel and Mevrouw De Bisschop-Matthijsen Prize. In March 2020, he founded the association “L'Instant Musical” with the aim of organizing chamber music concerts. Maxime improves and plays with many colleagues of his generation as well as renowned Belgian musicians (Tony Nys, Shirly Laub ...)

I adapt easily to the student and his needs. Everything is possible and this in a climate of trust and relaxation. I am very attentive and I will do my best to get you where you want.

As an experienced music teacher, I offer recorder and music theory lessons for children and adults of all ages and skill levels!

Originally from Brazil, I have been teaching music for several years. A graduate of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, I have extensive experience as a music teacher, having given private lessons and taught in music academies in Belgium and elsewhere. I develop a unique method for each student so that they can learn in a solid and enjoyable way.

The recorder is an easy instrument to learn, making it a great opportunity for children to begin their musical journey. It provides an initial introduction to musical notation and helps develop their ear. I offer students a fun and dynamic learning experience, where music is made from the very first lesson.

For adults... If you're a beginner, don't worry!
I will teach you how to produce the first sounds on your new instrument, how to blow correctly, how to adopt a good posture, etc. I will help you build, step by step, a solid basic technique that will allow you to play any piece on the flute.

If you are an advanced student or already possess a solid foundation in your instrument, I propose working on refining your technique, taking into account each repertoire. We will explore creativity and sound to produce an increasingly beautiful and eloquent musical expression.

Lessons can take place at the student's home or the teacher's home in Forest. Travel expenses are negotiable depending on the distance.

Feel free to contact me to discover this magnificent instrument!

" UNIQUE "
What if telling your story with music could be fun and playful?

Don't waste hours going around in circles, constantly searching for videos on YouTube to learn in a simple and structured way.

To finally be able to express your feelings, your emotions, all through the guitar?

It's possible! And what we'll see through my lessons: you'll learn how to tune the instrument, practice its first chords, and quickly play your first songs.

Develop your ear and musical identity by exploring styles such as pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, bossa nova, funk just to name a few.

Discover and explore the richness of scales and modes to combine them with playing expressions like hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato, bends... Does that sound like Chinese to you? I understand. Through my lessons, all of this will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Whether you have no experience or a few weeks of practice under your belt, we will go step by step, taking into account your level, so that you progress at your own pace.

Without forgetting the most important thing: have fun!

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- 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.

Are you a beginner?? No worries: no experience is required! 😁
I can teach you the basics to produce sounds with your saxophone: position of the embouchure (teeth, tongue, lips and vocal cords' position, an element often forgotten), fingerings, use of diafragma,...
After the first two lessons spent on the mouthpiece and neck for the sound production, we will immediately start to play some super easy duos together to practice your capacity of listening, pay attention to the other, ear training as well. I normally use the book of Peter Wastall (titled Learn as you play) as support, but it is not mandatory. There are plenty of good books btw!

Are you an intermediate / advanced student?? I am sure you can still improve in all the basics, but on a different level. I'll teach you the importance of the "voicing" (technique named by the american saxophonist and pedagogue Donald Sinta) to improve your sound production and projection as well as the capacity of correcting and improving the intonation. You can learn all about phrasing and music interpretation, from tonal music until contemporary atonal compositions. And still, you can improve your playing together, practicing in duo on different aspects like tuning, balance, interpretation, performance etc.

Book a lesson and try! If you are not happy, give me a feedback and go on. If you are happy, I will be happy to help you becoming a good musician!

I am a French violinist in a Master's degree in violin at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
My goal is to get people of all ages and skill levels to learn how to play an instrument, but also to help them discover how music can help them in their daily lives.

My experiences with different youth and professional orchestras, chamber music and solo concerts all over Europe made me understand that music is important for everyone and not only for professional musicians,

I can teach in English or French

These personalised lessons are designed for students who wish to develop their skills in piano performance, music composition, or a combination of both, depending on their individual interests and aspirations. Suitable for beginners to intermediate levels, each lesson is tailored to support the student’s musical journey in a structured yet creative environment.

For piano-focused students, lessons cover essential technique, posture, hand coordination, sight-reading, and repertoire across classical and contemporary styles. Emphasis is placed on building confidence, musicality, and a strong technical foundation.

For students interested in composition, lessons explore melody writing, harmony, chord progressions, and creative storytelling through music. Students are encouraged to develop their own musical voice, with guidance in composing for different styles, including film and contemporary music.

With a background in performance and film scoring, lessons integrate both technical development and artistic expression, encouraging students not only to play and write music, but to understand and shape it creatively.
Whether the goal is exams, performance, original composition, or personal enjoyment, lessons are engaging, adaptable, and designed to bring out each student’s unique musical potential.
