Hello everyone ! I am 39 years old, I am a professional guitarist and graduate composer. My rich and varied musical journey, going from "Art Rock" to Classic, passing by French song and currently jazz allowed me to acquire a beautiful experience that I like to share with my students.

Obviously passionate about my favorite instrument, I am just as passionate about music theory. From baroque counterpoint to jazz harmony, from classical orchestration to digital music publishing, I have always thought that understanding the sound universe multiplies perspectives, opens up new horizons! My method is simple and has always proven to be effective: working in symbiosis with pure instrumental technique and the general understanding of music, its cogs which seem to the novice musician so mysterious.

In addition to basic instrument learning, I also teach:
🎸️ Experimental instrumental techniques
🎸️ Work of virtuosity
🎸️ Picking game
🎤️ How to go well with singing
🎵️ Arrangement
🎵️ Composition
🎵️ Harmony (classical or jazz)
🎵️ Improvisation
💻️ MAO (Computer Aided Music)

Exploring musical styles:
#Pop #EXP #Classique #Electro #Jazz #Jazz Manouche #Art & Hard Rock #Chanson Française #Blues #Funk (60's / 70's)

🎥️ Possibility of lessons by webcam
️🇬🇧️ I also speak English
🏡️ I give lessons mainly at my home: Châtelain district in Ixelles, many transport nearby:
🚊️ bus (54), tram (92, 94, 81.) and metro (Louise).

🐸️ GREAT BEGINNERS welcome! (no prior knowledge necessary)

See you soon !

What are the steps to compose an entire song? Where do we start? How to make it sound "pro"? How can I reproduce the sounds I imagine? How do we know when we're done? How do you know which tools and techniques to use and when?

The questions are many when it comes to producing a track and even more are the answers, but don't panic! There is a solution.

After several years of making music, I ended up synthesizing a step-by-step method that allows you to produce a song from the first ideas to the final result that you can make listen to your loved ones, or your fans!

In particular, you will learn to:

- Prepare your work session to save time and make your life easier
- Compose and produce percussion that sounds professional and rich
- Find interesting chord sequences even without knowing how to play an instrument
- Find melodies that stick in your head
- Build an arrangement and finish a piece when you're stuck and can't move on
- Pre-mix your track so it sounds great wherever you listen to it
- Know which plugin to use and when

To take this course, you don't have to know how to play an instrument, master recording software or have the same software as me. No matter your level, I will teach you all the techniques you need to know to compose songs that you can be proud of by adapting to what you already know and conforming to your desires and your objectives.

In other words, tell me what your needs are and I'll adapt my lessons accordingly :)

Glad to have you as a student,

Arthur.

PS: Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions

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!

Composition and orchestration open the door to a deep understanding of music—from the sound of a single note to the architecture of an entire symphony. In this course, you'll learn not only how to play, but also how to think like a musician and composer.

Whether you are a beginner looking to gain a solid foundation on the guitar, or an advanced musician looking to explore harmony, arranging, and orchestration for ensembles or film music, this course is tailored to your personal goals.

Through practical exercises, ear training, and creative projects, you'll develop your musical language, sense of structure, and artistic voice—connecting technique with imagination. My approach combines classical knowledge, modern composition tools, and a focus on musical storytelling to help you transform your ideas from a single instrument to a full orchestra.

The guitar is an instrument of infinite richness—capable of expressing both the sweetness of an intimate melody and the power of a full orchestra. In this course, you'll learn to master the guitar as a means of personal expression, developing your technique, ear, and musicianship.

Whether you are a beginner or already experienced, I will guide you step by step through the essential basics (posture, rhythm, chords, reading) to advanced techniques (arpeggios, improvisation, interpretation and arrangements).

My approach connects instrumental practice with musical understanding, so you can not only play, but also understand and feel the music you create. Each lesson is tailored to your level and style—classical, modern, or creative.

I'm ENERVIU, a DJ and music curator based in Brussels. My sound ranges from UK club music like garage, bass, dub, and breaks to house, jazz, and funk selections. I play in various settings, from clubs to private events, and I also share my passion through videos about the history of musical genres.

I offer a four-session introductory course to DJing, tailored to your level and tastes.
My goal: to give you the basics to become independent behind the decks, develop your selection, and build a world that reflects your personality. Each session combines explanations, listening, and practical application.

**Session 1 — Discover DJing and develop your listening skills**

We will explore the role of the DJ and the different facets of their practice: club, radio, bar, or private event. We will discuss musical research, selection, and what gives a set its identity.

Through listening, you will learn to recognize tempo, beats, measures, and musical phrases, as well as identify introductions, breaks, and repeats. These fundamentals will allow you to better understand the energy of a piece and the appropriate moments for a transition.

*Objective: to acquire basic listening skills and begin making a personal selection.*

**Session 2 — Understanding Turntables and the Mixing Console**

We will discover the equipment and its essential controls: playback, cue, jog, tempo adjustment, faders, gain and equalization.

You will learn how to use headphone pre-listening, adjust levels, and synchronize two tracks. We will cover beatmatching, both by ear and with available tools, to help you understand what you are doing and gain confidence.

Objective: to get to grips with the equipment and perform your first sequences.

**Session 3 — Preparing your music with Rekordbox**

We will use Rekordbox to import your tracks, organize your library and create playlists tailored to your mixing preferences.

You will learn to read waveforms, check the tempo and rhythmic grid, and then place useful cues using Memory Cues and Hot Cues. We will cover keys as a selection aid and prepare a USB drive compatible with the equipment used.

Objective: to have an organized and ready-to-play selection.

**Session 4 — Practicing and building your first mix**

We will combine the acquired skills to link several pieces together: tempo matching, alignment of musical phrases and transitions using volumes and equalization.

We'll also work on the progression of the set: creating an atmosphere, choosing the next track, gradually building energy, and letting the music breathe. You'll create a short mix that we'll listen to together to identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

We will conclude with useful tips for a first performance: prepare your music, plan a backup and check the technical conditions of the venue.

Objective: to create a first coherent mix and leave with exercises to continue progressing.

Throughout the journey, we will start with the music you love to refine your listening skills, affirm your choices, and develop the pleasure of sharing it.

**Session 5 — Preparing your first gigs and presenting your DJ project**

We will explore the first steps to playing in public: contacting venues and programmers, sharing a relevant mix and clearly communicating your availability, rates and technical requirements.

We'll cover the essential elements of a short biography, a press kit, and a technical rider. Drawing on my experience in clubs and at private events, we'll see how to adapt your offering to different contexts while staying true to your musical identity.

Finally, we will build a personal action plan: skills to develop further, the next mix to record and venues to target for your first gigs.

*Objective: to understand how bookings work and leave with concrete steps to develop your DJ project.*
