My lessons are not only about technique of violin playing but also about learning how to listen and deal with music through a certain instrument.
Lessons are adopted from the youngest ages (3+) to mature students.

If you already are familiar with music theory I offer advices in composition but also music theory lessons as a preparation for music composition.

In my classes you get to work on Ableton in a well-equiped home studio, with professional monitors, and a good deal of outboard gear.

Focus is to get you play with Ableton as if it were an extension of your arms.

We will do this by having you make your own track, in the style you had in mind.

By making your own track, you will start with the beginning, and work your way up to highly advanced stuff, including some harmony, sound synthesis techniques, mixing, and DYI mastering.

At the end of the course, you will have made your own track, in the style you envisaged, and with a superior, professional sound.

On myself:

I have been playing music since I was a kid, first the buegel, then piano, melodica and organ.

When I was in my early twenties, I jumped on computer generated music production, and finally obtained my master in electronic music production in the UK.

I graduated from the KSO of East Flanders as a classical pianist and composer and am now studying at the conservatory of Ghent with Daan Vandewalle. I can perfectly teach someone notes or piano and I already have some experience with this.

I am a student of music production at the Royal Conservatory, with extensive knowledge of music theory covering everything from harmony to rhythm. As an experienced tutor, my goal is to teach this subject as it serves as a powerful tool for playing, interpreting, and composing music. I tailor my classes to the student's level, ensuring effective learning and understanding. Let's embark on a musical journey together!

Do you want to learn to write, record or produce your own music? Or are you interested in sound design? Then I can help you further!
Music production and recording technology may seem complicated at first glance, but in our 1-on-1 private lessons we can discuss the creative and technical tools you need to unleash your own creativity.

Whether it's songwriting, recording techniques or beat making, we can do it all together. All genres are welcome.
During the lessons we can learn to work with different programs, such as Logic, Pro Tools or Ableton.
The lessons are for students of all ages and levels. Knowledge of solfège is not required.

I studied guitar and music production at the Conservatory in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 12 years of experience as a private teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.

Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hope to see you soon!

I am Jess, a musician and producer from Ghent, graduated as a bachelor in music at PXL Hasselt. In the meantime I have been teaching guitar for 10 years at music studios and in the form of private lessons at home. Besides teaching I have my own project called Monagi and I write/produce for bands like Tout Va Bien and Patches. I also play guitar at TheShadow Machine. All my lessons take place in a relaxed atmosphere in my music studio in Ghent at your own pace.

For beginners: During our guitar lesson you can bring your own songs that you want to work on or together we will see what the best songs are for you and what you can learn the most from. This ranges from the basic chords that make up most pop / rock songs to playing along with the melody or accompanying yourself while singing. So you can play what you always dreamed of in no time!

For advanced users: Together we look at what you want to work on in terms of rhythm, soloing or improvisation. Which styles you are familiar with or which you would like to learn to play. These lessons are ideal for you if you want to broaden your knowledge of the guitar or if it feels like you've reached a plateau you can't get past.

Modular synthesis is the place to be when it comes to new electronic music technologies. The cool thing about working with eurorack (modular synthesis) is that you can build your own electronic music system as you go. In this series of lessons you will learn the ins and outs of a number of essential Eurorack modules, VCOs, VCFs, VCAs, etc., and you will get started with them. You don't have to pay anything at all, because VCV rack, a software program, is free.

Whether you are starting to create your own beats or struggling to write a song, I will help you reach the next level you personally need. With a solid base of music education, I can help you express yourself through your music.

I can get very technical if you need to, but I will also help you navigate the creative process and arrive to a place that works for you.

Music is a important part of many people's lives. I strive for excitement in all things music related, because I believe that if someone can get excited and feels genuine happiness while playing, they can achieve anything in their field.

I provide lessons for improvisation, composition and theory for all levels. I have been playing for 11 years both as an enthusiast, performer and teacher.

Bring me your material, songs/beats! My focus is to support you as best as I can in what you're doing. Would you like to learn more about mixing, sound design, sound synthesis, and composition? Would you like to learn more about the songwriting process? How do I start a song? What are some common pitfalls? I'm your guy! :) As a producer, I've worked with quite a few genres, so I'm very flexible in that respect.

📚training courses:
- secondary ASO Sint-Gummarus College Lier
- 7th year MUDA KSO Evergem
- university conservatory at KASK in Ghent (2022-2027)

Do you have a song that you've written that you believe could be amazing? Do you already have some skills using a DAW like Logic, Ableton, Pro Tools or Garage band? Would you like a new set of 'arrangers/producers ears' to redefine your song, reimagine it or simply improve what you have to bring it up to the best possible level?

I have worked in these areas where the boundary between composition, production and arrangement becomes blurred. The truth is they are inseparable to the end result and imagination is everything. So is an extra set of ears! Thats were I can help.

Which instrument to use ? (bass guitar or bass synth), which keys sound and where to place it in the mix. Where to set that high pass filter on the vocal? How much saturation does the snare need?

Musical arrangement and instrumentation
Production techniques, in the context of mixing
How best to use harmony in string quartets, or choirs or horn sections
How to place the guitar? Does it even need one?

I can give creative input and advise having written and composed more than 150 songs and recorded approximately 100+. Having run a UK based record label for almost 20 years.

If using a studio DAW, my experience is mainly with LogicPro although most creative 'arrangement' decisions do not need to be technical knob twiddling.

My background as a musician is vocals and guitars but as an arranger I've worked with everything.

Have you ever listened to a song or a piece of music you like and thought: "How does this work? Can I do this myself? How do I even start?"
If so, I'd be glad to help you get started on your own music.
I'll show you around the world of composition and music theory, and help you master concepts like chord progressions, the circle of fifths, melody and scales, tension and release, instrumentation, and much more. With the help of a few useful guidelines, we'll discover what kind of music you want to make, and set out on making it.
I'm on my second year bachelors in music composition (specialized in contemporary classical and music for film and videogames), the conductor of a local choir and enjoyer of a wide variety of genres and styles, and I look forward to help you hone your creative spirit!

My name is Andre. I'm a professional musician with more than 10 years in the field. Despite Jazz being the main focus of my study and practice I've learned to love all genres and absorb each unique values and strengths. Having them integrated in the musical projects I've created or participated on. Projects which revolve around Jazz, Pop, Rock, Psychedelic, Electronic and Reggae.
Throughout my professional career I've worked with music schools and private students (+200). During this years I've encountered a plethora of different kinds of students, all levels ranging from kids to seniors and even a good quantity of autistic or down syndrome students, which always made me more and more interested in the art of teaching and helping people grow, by balancing challenge and empathy.

My lessons are characterized by a practical approach combined with a theoretical component, that always caters to the student's interests, stimulating their musical taste and creativity. For this, I like to go across the board with disciplines such as:
Musical Theory
Technique
Ear training
Performance
Composition
Improvisation
Band/project guidance
Study methodoly
Reportoire

My main objectives as a mentor are:

- To captivate students with music and their learning process

- To stimulate healthy learning methods based on their own goals

- To develop the spirit and discipline of self-learning.

Frequency, duration, and format depend on each student's goals.

Sarshar (b. 1999) (Master's in classical music piano - composition) is a concert pianist and composer born in Tehran and educated at the conservatories of Budapest, Vienna, and Ghent. Known for his original compositions and distinctive interpretations of composers such as Chopin, Debussy, Beethoven, Liszt, and Bartók, he combines a strong classical foundation with a deeply personal musical voice.

He has studied classical piano with internationally renowned pianists and has performed across Europe, including concerts in Paris, Copenhagen, Spain, Poland, Hungary, Austria, and Belgium. His performances include appearances at the Polish Institute in Paris — where Chopin himself performed in the 19th century — and at the Antonin Palace in Poland, the UNESCO World Heritage site where Chopin gave concerts during his lifetime. He has also performed for the Belgian Royal Family, Queen Mathilde and King Philippe and collaborated with internationally acclaimed artists such as Alexander Vantournhout.

Sarshar is the laureate of multiple international piano competitions across Europe, China, and North America. Alongside his concert career, he composes music for film, theater, and dance productions, creating works that combine structural clarity with emotional depth and reflection.

As a teacher, he focuses not only on piano technique and musicality, but also on helping students develop their own artistic identity, confidence, and connection to music. He also integrates harmony into his piano teaching to help students better understand musical structure and build a deeper, more meaningful connection to the music they play. Lessons are available in English, Dutch, and Farsi for beginners, advanced students, and aspiring professionals..
I teach with different methods depending the person’s age, and personality.

First he gets to know what your goals and ambitions are, and based on your paste, knowledge and experience will build a personal traject where you can grow fast and optimal, while reaching your goals realistically.
