About Me

Initiated at the thing from a young age, I am passionate about music in general as well as jazz (and its African origins) in particular. Far from being closed-minded, however, I have collaborated on many musical projects exploring a variety of styles (funk, electro, jazz, afro, latin-jazz, spoken-word, hip-hop, fusion, soul, zouk, maloya). Currently, I shoot with 3 groups of which we will have, perhaps, the chance to speak viva voce.

In addition to the more "academic" courses, I worked a lot on my instrument on the advice of some private teachers and especially as a self-taught teacher.

Stay motivated! Music is a vast universe and there are many ways to listen to it, to enjoy it, but also to work and develop it. That is why, by paying close attention to the motivations of each student, I think that it is always possible to develop a personalized method, adapted to the best in order to allow each one to preserve all the pleasure that can provide the regular practice of his instrument.

Whether using traditional exercises, methods or repertoires such as those of Hanon, Bach, Mark Levine, Charlie Parker or others, picking up pieces by ear, developing a sense of rhythm , composition, arrangement, etc., there is always one step more to go through and the resources to accomplish it in confidence, savoring the small daily progress.

Regardless of the path followed, each new step undertaken is an opportunity for me to introduce (or to recall) musical notions peculiar to the piano or to music in general, as well as certain underlying and ubiquitous principles in the work. and the understanding of the instrument.

It's been around twenty years that I develop my professional activities around this passion. 15 years ago, already, that I gave my first regular piano lessons, at the time of my university studies at the ULB In all, I would say that I accumulated 8 years of experience as a teacher , at home or in various schools / structures (Brussels Music School, REMUA, XL'Jeunes, International Montessori School).

Whether they are 7 or 77 years old, the students always offer me unique experiences and points of view.

From the beginning, I have been enjoying these opportunities to share what I know about my passion, to meet new people of all ages and all cultures around a shared motivation.

Being highly skilled in sight-reading, I have often realised how valuable and enjoyable it is to possess that “gift.” After more than ten years of teaching students of different levels and aspirations, I have observed a common thread: regardless of their goals, all were eager to improve their ability to read and interpret new, unfamiliar music.

Currently, I am developing a multifaceted approach designed to help students understand a composition at first sight. This method combines specific pattern recognition and structural score-mapping, anchored in a fundamental understanding of rhythm, pitch, and harmony, together with highly effective practice and memorization strategies personalized to each student's needs and technical challenges.

For over ten years, I have been teaching students of all ages and levels. In addition to regular lessons, I offer the opportunities to perform at the yearly class concert as well as dedicated preparation for ABRSM piano examinations.

I'm a pianist with extensive performing experience on international stages and a first-prize winner of more than 30 international piano competitions across Europe and USA. I hold a Master's degree and four Postgraduate degrees (piano and chamber music) from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.

I’m an enthusiastic Cellist from Ukraine specialized in teaching children. I have a pedagogy education from the Dnipro Academy of Music and want to show your children how much fun it is to learn to play cello, learning the right technique and feeling the music. In Ukraine I studied with Artem Poludennyi, one of the best Cellists of Ukraine, who performs as Soloist with all major Ukrainian orchestras and internationally. Here in Belgium I completed my Master at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels with the famous Cellist Jeroen Reuling, and currently finishing my 2nd master degree in Namur with Pierre Fontenelle.
I teach at home in Ixelles or can come to your house in Brussels or Namur.

Despite my focus on teaching children, I’m also happy to accept adult students.

Don’t feel shy to contact me if you have questions.
Valeriia

I will be a hundred cellos,
all in one.
I will play – I will sing,
I'll have fun.

I'll describe a murky rainforest,
with the rhythm in my soul.
I'll be a thunderous storm,
It's my only goal.

And when I'm done with my few songs,
People stand: applause.
I'll smile and bow down with thanks,
It's my only cause.

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.

I am a saxophonist and music student with around ten years of experience, with a background in both classical and jazz music. I studied at a music high school before specializing in jazz at Siena Jazz, where I developed a strong foundation in saxophone, improvisation, harmony and music theory.
As a teacher, I like to create a relaxed and motivating environment where students can learn at their own pace. I believe that lessons should be adapted to each student's level, interests and goals. We can work on technique, sound, reading, improvisation, jazz language, theory or simply learn to play the music you enjoy.
Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some experience, my goal is to help you become more confident with your instrument while developing your own musical personality. I particularly enjoy working with students who are curious and want to explore different styles and approaches to music.
