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.

I am Natalia, a pianist, composer, and music teacher. Music plays a central role in my life and forms the basis of everything I do: playing, creating, and teaching.

At the piano, I constantly discover and develop new musical ideas. Composing music is a natural way for me to express feelings, atmosphere, and stories. Sometimes a composition originates from a small motif or a simple melody that slowly develops into a complete piece of music. My inspiration comes from various sources: life, emotions, nature, films, stories, and moments of silence in which music can arise spontaneously.

My music moves between various styles, with a strong emphasis on melody, atmosphere, and emotion. The foundation often lies in the piano sound, but the musical language I use can contain classical influences as well as modern, cinematic, or popular elements. I love music that evokes images and tells a story, as if the listener can feel a scene or a world simply by listening.

In addition to composing, I also share my musical experience as a music teacher. In my piano lessons, I want to teach students not only how to play notes, but also how to understand, interpret, and experience music. For me, learning music is a process in which technique, listening, creativity, and expression come together. Therefore, in my lessons, I pay attention to musicality, interpretation, and developing a personal musical voice.

My experience as a composer also influences my teaching style. I help students not only to perform music, but also to understand how music is structured and how a melody, harmony, or rhythm is created. In this way, they not only learn to play the piano but also develop deeper musical insight and creativity.

To me, music is a living art form that is constantly growing. As a pianist, composer, and teacher, I want to continue creating, sharing, and passing on music to

I write and play music for a variety of projects where powerful and meaningful music is needed. For example:

• films and short films
• television programs and documentaries
• theatre and stage productions
• commercials and advertising campaigns
• original songs and musical projects
• live piano music for events and special occasions

As mentioned earlier, in addition to composing and performing, I also share my passion for music with others through piano lessons. In my lessons, I guide students—from beginners to advanced—not only to learn to play the piano, but also to truly understand, feel, and create music.

For me, music is more than sounds – it is a way to tell stories, share emotions, and connect people.

Welcome to my musical world.

With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

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 :)

For whom?
- Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing.
- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).
- Independent artists/producers who want to deepen their musical knowledge.
- Anyone who is curious about the language behind music.

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.
- Theory made immediately applicable with examples on the piano.
- Extra attention to insight instead of learning dry rules by heart.
- Tutoring fully tailored to your level and goal (classical, pop, songwriting, production, ...).

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.
- Preparation for exams or entrance tests.

Practical

These courses are primarily aimed at beginners or false beginners wishing to learn the violin on a solid foundation, in a progressive and motivating way.

Trained in classical and chamber music by a conservatory professor, I have developed an approach to the violin that is both rigorous and accessible, always keeping the pleasure of playing as the objective.

We work on the essential fundamentals: posture, bow hold, intonation, tone, and basic musicality. Emphasis is placed on a clear progression adapted to each student.

Each lesson is personalized according to your pace and objectives, whether it's to discover the instrument, consolidate the basics or evolve towards a more expressive style of playing.

Courses are available in French or English.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

It is especially important to me that the lessons are individually tailored to each student. I do not follow a rigid textbook, but instead choose pieces and exercises according to your musical interests, your current level, and your personal goals.

In lessons, we can work on topics including:

- Piano technique and tone production
- Music reading and sight-reading
- Musical expression and interpretation
- Music theory and harmonic understanding
- Preparation for performances, examinations, and entrance auditions

If you are a beginner, we will be building the fundamentals step by step. If you already play the piano, we can work specifically on technique, musical expression, and your current repertoire. If you are returning to the piano after several years, we can assess where you are and find the best way to continue developing your playing.

In the first lesson, we get to discuss your goals, and already work practically at the piano.

Lessons are available in German, English, or Russian.

I look forward to meeting you!

My approach is to help you develop your ears so they become the main instrument for your music journey. That applies to guitar, piano, etc. I teach you to learn theory as map for your musical journey and not as strict rules to follow. I teach you to teach yourself.

I have three years of piano training, along with experience teaching both private lessons and at a private music course. What motivates me to teach is spreading the joy of music and watching my students go from their very first encounter with the instrument to the moment they can play a piece on their own. I can’t wait to put in the effort together and enjoy the results. I love the happiness of creating and sharing the sounds an instrument can make, and beyond teaching and learning, connecting with my students and touching each other’s lives is the best part of this job. :)

My lessons are suitable for all levels and age groups. Instead of rote memorization, we focus on understanding the logic behind musical concepts. Besides learning to play the piano, you will gain a solid command of music theory, which lays the groundwork for learning other instruments more easily in the future. Step by step, we will build strong music theory and instrument knowledge. I look forward to seeing you in my lessons!

My teaching style is very flexible and adaptable. First off, I believe each student is special in their own way and that there is no one way of teaching. I try to make my classes fun, not only focusing on the progress but also giving the space for the adventure of listening to different genres or even learning about each band or artist. I also think that every topic can be interesting if portrayed in the right way. It can be equally fun to feel the trembling energy in metal, the flowy feel in jazz, or committing and working hard to learn scales and understand music theory. I believe that if you give the right amount of time and space to analyze any aspect in music that might seem intimidating or scary, you might surprise yourself and learn a lot more than you expected.

Another one of my strengths is giving insight on how to learn different techniques such as fingerstyle, 3-finger fingerstyle, slap, double thumb, playing with a pick, muted playing, and any other technique you can imagine. I can show you not only how to play all those techniques but also how to master the dynamics of each technique, help you choose when to use which one, and how to choose a tone that fits your style of playing.

I also have to mention, having gigged and toured professionally for over five years, I can give you personal insight on what goes on in my head while under pressure on stage, how I got used to stage fright, what gear I and many other musicians use, and a lot of different aspects of being a professional, touring musician.
