Awesome, intensive workshop you can do alone or even with two! Fun and new knowledge/skills guaranteed✅
Would you like to be able to play the piano within 1.5 hours in an interactive, motivating way? You’ve come to the right place with this one-off workshop for absolute beginners!

Invite your mom, girlfriend, boyfriend, bestie, sister, grandpa, grandma, brother, or dad to play a song together😉

What do you learn during our coolest workshop ever? hehe:
- Basic theory: music notation (you learn to read sheet music!), chords, optional pedal technique, correct posture at the piano
- How a piano works, so that you understand the instrument
Which reliable music books you can buy to continue practicing piano on your own
- Learn your

What will you take away from this workshop?
- A new skill and knowledge unlocked: playing the piano!
- A hefty dose of brain training during class: scientific evidence that playing an instrument activates all areas of your brain: https://youtu.be/R0JKCYZ8hng?si=sGm6WIDCTmNx7Bh6 [How playing an instrument benefits your brain - TED-Ed]
- Your first piano book🤩

After this, you can start working independently with the piano. Optionally, you can take private piano lessons tailored to your wishes and needs. Plenty of choice and freedom!

I am flexible with time and days, just let me know which times work best.
The workshop takes place at my home, near Leuven station, where you can park on the street. If you live within the Leuven ring road, I can also come to your home to give the workshop! Provided there is a piano, haha.

The price shown is for 1 person. If 2 people would like to do this workshop, you will get a slightly higher price (but certainly not 50% more expensive, don't worry lol).
Extra information
- Bring your motivation and good mood, it's going to be fun and intense!
- Piano lessons take place in a cooled environment in the summer.
- Send me a list of your favorite songs that you already want to learn to play. From that list, I will pick one or more songs that we can play during the workshop!

About Me
* As a child, I practiced the piano a lot. I’ve been taking piano lessons since I was 10. I was able to play the full version of “Für Elise” as a first-year piano student when I was 10 years old. Practice makes perfect!
* I’d love to take on a student who wants to learn to play the piano. That way, I can share my knowledge, experience, and passion for the piano with them!
* I have a naturally cheerful, motivating personality, which can help fuel your motivation and passion for the piano. But I can also be strict enough to teach you discipline when practicing the piano :D

I took AMV and AMC courses during my piano career, and I also studied accompaniment. I studied piano at the AMWD.
I’ll graduate as a secondary school teacher in 2026. 🥳

Since I was 4 years old, piano has taken a big place in my life and heart, because my father has taught me ever since.
I am extremely excited to share my passion with interested people, whatever their age!
I pay a lot of attention to the position at the piano, so that no injuries occur. I also talk a lot about musical lines and how to produce a good sound on the piano. If you have not taken solfège, I am very happy to help with that as well along with the piano study.
Playing the piano is very personal for everyone, both technically and musically. That is why I think it is very important to look for the best solutions and adapt to each individual student, so that he or she can create his or her own bond with music.
I am currently finishing my Masters with Jan Vermeulen at Luca School of Arts, Leuven.

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Felipe Olivé began his piano studies under the guidance of Professor Marcilda Clis. Upon entering UNIRIO, he started taking lessons with the pianist and composer Claudio Dauelsberg. He holds a degree in piano from the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe in Germany, where he was a student of Professor Kaya Han. He spent 2 years in Portugal, where he taught at the Academia de Música de Almada. He also received guidance from Professor and pianist Manuel Araújo of the Academia Internacional de Música Aquilles Delle Vigne in Coimbra. Currently, he is pursuing a Master's degree in Piano Performance at LUCA School of Arts in Belgium, with the renowned pianist Sylvia Thereza as his teacher.

He has been awarded in national and international competitions, such as the VII Sardoal Young Talent Award (2nd Prize - ex-aequo in the Piano Solo category; 2nd Prize and Best Portuguese Duo in the Piano Duo category), the Prof. Dichler-Competition 2022 in Vienna (2nd Prize - ex aequo in the Piano Duo category), the I National Piano Competition of the Villa-Lobos Music School (Honorable Mention) in Rio de Janeiro, and the XXVI Souza Lima Piano Competition (Honorable Mention) in São Paulo.

Felipe has years of experience as a concert pianist and teacher in academies and music schools. He seeks the most suitable approach for each student, respecting their learning pace, helping overcome difficulties, and exploring their strengths, always encouraging progress.

Graduated in Music - Having studied piano (classical) at the University of Évora (Portugal), Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe (Germany) and at the Aquiles Delle Vigne International Music Academy. She is currently studying a Masters in Performance at LUCA School of Arts, Leuven, Belgium.
I have a lot of experience in teaching piano and music theory in different musical styles and theoretical/musical training from children to adults, in official conservatories, music schools and private lessons,

In my classes I try to share my musical knowledge, both practically and theoretically. The courses are aimed at those who want to have more direct contact with music, whether for the first time or not. I take great pleasure in teaching and I give great importance to each student. I like to choose repertoire that matches both student's musical tastes and technical work in need. I always try to encourage students and provide quality teaching.
In musical training courses, I help students at conservatories/academies and teach classes to students without any theoretical basis.

Music is a universal language that connects people and allows unique expression. As a saxophonist and flutist with a background in jazz, I have designed this course as a practical guide for students who want to improve their technique, discover improvisation, and understand modern harmony.

You will learn to develop your sound on saxophone or flute, improvise with confidence, apply harmony concepts in jazz and other styles, and prepare effectively for entrance exams in music programs. My lessons are tailored to your level and goals so you can enjoy learning and make steady progress.

Playing the cello is a skill that takes some time to learn. We will get through lots of pieces and do a lot of playing in classes. In some lessons, if necessary, we will learn about music theory as well, which helps us read music better and get to know our pieces better!

Have you always wanted not just to play notes, but to truly understand how music works?

Music theory is not dry rules or mechanical training.
It is thinking, feeling, structuring, imagining, and being free at the same time.

I am a musicologist, composer, pianist, organist, and harpsichordist with two academic degrees (Composition & Musicology), more than 10 years of teaching experience, and an active international concert career across Europe. My students study at prestigious music academies, perform on European stages, and develop artistic identity and confidence.

I combine academic precision with creative freedom and a supportive atmosphere.

Each student receives an individual learning plan. I adapt my method depending on age, level, and goals — whether it is:
- first steps in music theory (4–6 years old, playful format)
- support lessons for instrumental students
- harmony and polyphony for composers
- preparation for entrance exams, competitions, or conservatory studies

Thanks to my background in musicology, composition, and neuroaesthetics research, I help students:
- understand harmony, form, and musical structure
- think analytically and creatively at the same time
- connect theory with real repertoire
- develop inner hearing and musical memory
- gain confidence in exams and performances

Send me a message — and we will build your personal path into the logic and beauty of music.

Music theory is not only about rules.
It is about discovering the architecture of sound — and discovering yourself through it.
