About Me

Attilio is an Italian jazz saxophonist born in 1999. He began studying the saxophone at the age of seven. Raised in a family passionate about jazz, he became interested in bebop, hard bop and fusion from an early age, actively frequenting the local jazz scene. At the age of nine,
he was admitted to the conservatory to study classical saxophone, but very quickly, his passion
for jazz led him to move away from classical studies.
In 2017, he began his studies at Siena Jazz University, where he obtained a bachelor's and master's degree
in jazz saxophone. It was during this period that he developed a passion for free jazz and contemporary jazz.

His collaboration with Silvia Bolognesi led to performances in major European clubs and
festivals with the group Young Shouts, with whom he released the album Alive Shouts.
This project enabled him to establish himself on the international scene as a sideman and
improviser.
At the same time, Attilio released ‘Héritage Normand’ in 2023 and ‘Spellbound’ in 2025, two
works in which he explores the dialogue between traditional and contemporary jazz. He is
currently enrolled at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and is active on the European jazz scene.

Passionate about music and graduated in piano from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, I offer a music theory course, whether to start from scratch, for remediation or for improvement.

I am a professional clarinetist graduated with distinction at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussels (Master Degree in Clarinet) and holding a Bachelor Diploma from the Music Conservatory of Valencia (Spain). Currently I am studying for a Master's Degree in Bass Clarinet, so we can combine both instruments in my lessons.

I teach students of all ages and levels. In my lessons I help the students to find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body use, enabling them to connect with their musical imagination. The lessons are adapted to each student's needs and wishes.

On top of playing, I can also offer lessons on harmony, form analysis and counterpoint that focus on understanding the structure of music. My lessons will already include many different aspects of the music being taught but there is the option of focusing the theoretical or the practical.

i am looking forward to teaching you music!

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!

I am a professional oboist with over 20 years of specialised music education in England, Germany, and Belgium and performing experience with some of the best orchestras in the world including the London Symphony Orchestra, Gurzenich Orchestra in Koln, and National Orchestra of Belgium.
I have experience teaching young children, teenagers, and adults as well as giving group lessons. I offer private one on one lessons either in my home or yours (and at the moment via webcam) with a focus on fun, musical fluency, gaining confidence in technique, and learning repertoire.
Whether you're a complete beginner or more advanced, feel free to take some lessons with me and we can work on whatever area you would like to improve on. I believe that learning an instrument should be fun and enjoyable so lessons are student-centred and always with an encouraging atmosphere.

I also offer music theory lessons for school children to support their musical education and any exams they might be taking.

Piano lessons for the complete beginner - my main instrument is the oboe but if you'd like to start learning the piano, I can give lessons in your home and get you started with the basics!

Hello !

In order to be as effective as possible, my course logically adapts to the student: One type of course is not for everyone.
I want to know my students on a case-by-case basis to offer them courses adapted to their needs. Personalized exercises, always at the student's pace to maintain the pleasure of learning.

Graduated in Jazz and Classical Music at the French Conservatory, I can teach the science of reading, rhythm, melody, harmony, the ability to use one's ear to better effect, etc...

Whether you want to play just for fun or to become a professional pianist I can give you a personalised course. At the beginning of the course, I will evaluate your level and give you recommendations of what we can work on. There are two main types of courses:

- a hobbyist course: it won’t be time consuming. I will help you learn new pieces and a little theory and solfege. The primary goal of this course is to make you enjoy playing in your spare time without having to practice too much.

- a professional course: in this course I will help you reach the level of a professional musician. I will give you an insight of how to prepare a piece or pieces for a competition or an audition. I will also teach a lot of theory and solfege so that you can prepare for a conservatory or a school of music.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but don't know where to start? Do you already have a musical background and want to refine your piano skills or music theory knowledge? Or are you an advanced player who wants to delve deeper? I offer piano and music theory lessons.

In my piano lessons, I work with each student to discover their musical personality. Depending on their preferences, the emphasis is on jazz and improvisation or on classical music, supplemented with the necessary music theory. I always try to accommodate the tempo and needs of each individual student. Enjoyment is paramount. I teach all ages.
