Being highly skilled in sight-reading, I have often realized 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 have always been passionate about music, I play three instruments, and I recently finished my piano studies at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in the class of Piet Kuijken. I have always found that the end goal of music was sharing, and that's why I orient myself strongly towards everything that is done in groups: chamber music, orchestra, but also teaching, via which I can also share my passion.
My course is for everyone: do you want to start from scratch? No problem, I also give lessons in music theory and musical culture which will make a perfect complement to make you a complete musician.
Have you already had lessons at the academy but want a more personalized or just a different approach? I offer methodical monitoring for each student and I adapt my course to all profiles. Do you want to prepare for an exam (academy or conservatory entrance)? I become your personal coach and invest myself personally in your success.
My course is aimed at students who want to learn technique and repertoire methodically as well as at those who want to learn for fun or for the purpose of learning a specific piece.

I'm Giorgos and i teach Lute and Classical guitar!
I have over 15 years of teaching experience, and have studied and have my Degrees from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, both in Classical Guitar as well as Historical Plucked instruments.

I regularly perform in concert halls with orchestras and groups all around Europe, perform with my own ensembles based in Brussels and Italy, and enjoy an active teaching schedule.

My aim with teaching is to find the best way to facilitate the student to find their own voice and direction, and to help steer them on their preferred road of performance. The schedule and repertoire are decided by the student, and we plot a course together depending on your goals, whether that's aiming to place into an academy or the conservatories, or if you just enjoy playing music as a hobby and wish that it accompanies you through your life!

I'm looking forward to hear from you!

Classical music is a unique way of self-expression and inner development. In addition to certain skills of playing an instrument, you also develop your memory, motor skills, synchronicity and much more.

I am a third-year student at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, but also a laureat of international competitions. My musical journey began in my hometown in Kazakhstan, and then in Moscow at the Tchaikovsky Central Music School (which I graduated with a diploma of distinction). In addition to concert activities, I teach piano and music theory for everyone (beginners, professionals). I try to find a personal approach to each of my students, as this is the only way to achieve success. Hoping to help everyone who wants to discover classical music!

The teaching method involves different learning processes in the student;

- basic musical, melodic and rhythmic theory.

Bonjour, je suis professeur avec plus de 6 ans d'expérience. Je travaille avec des enfants et des adultes, le plus important est d'avoir l'envie d'apprendre à jouer. Je donne des cours en slovaque, ukrainien, russe ou anglais. De mon expérience, je peux dire que si quelqu'un veut apprendre à jouer d'un instrument, l'âge n'est pas un obstacle, la musique est pour tout le monde.

Hallo, ik ben een lerares met meer dan 6 jaar ervaring. Ik werk met zowel kinderen als volwassenen, het belangrijkste is het verlangen om te leren spelen. Ik geef lessen in het Slowaaks, Oekraïens, Russisch of Engels. Uit mijn ervaring kan ik zeggen dat als iemand wil leren spelen op een instrument, leeftijd geen probleem is, muziek is er voor iedereen.

Today, a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for teaching, I entered the Conservatory of Music very early on to learn piano and music theory: at the age of 6.

For a little over a year, I have been teaching children between the ages of 4 and 6. My lessons are presented as a fun musical awakening:
- know how to stand in front of a piano,
- hand positioning, fingering,
- learning rhythm and scales,
- note recognition,
- musical discovery and listening.

However, I propose to accompany any beginner, whatever their age (child, teenager, adult). I mainly travel to homes, my Casio piano keyboard on my back, to offer those who do not yet have one the opportunity to try and tame the instrument.

During individual sessions, we will learn to understand musical notation, develop our hearing, understand our temperament, and, most importantly, learn to play pieces you've always wanted to learn! Plus, with my help, we'll discover new ones. Each of my students receives an individual program to unlock their musical abilities.

During piano lessons, we will make music, improve our technical skills, develop our hearing, memory, and artistry, and, most importantly, make music! They say we can learn quickly if we truly enjoy the process!

Whether you’re a complete beginner, an enthusiastic amateur, or an experienced player, my guitar lessons are tailored to your level, pace, and musical taste. Together, we’ll work on technique, rhythm, and musical expression while exploring the styles you love — from rock and pop to blues, jazz, or even acoustic singer-songwriter tunes.
My teaching approach focuses on hands-on practice, encouragement, and the joy of playing. You’ll learn to master your instrument while developing your own creative style, all in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere.
