Music: voice, piano, songwriting, theory, acting & speech
It's time to learn to enjoy making music from a teacher who customizes your lessons around your goals and styles.
I teach voice, keyboard/piano, composition/songwriting, theory, speech, and acting. With multiple music degrees and a lifetime of performance experience, I provide the technical know-how and combine that with my creativity and fun-loving personality to truly customize your learning experience.
I've performed most styles, from Gospel and worship music to opera and hip-hop. I've lived and made music in four countries including three Latin American and Caribbean countries, which has helped shape my style and creativity.
My learning and teaching style is analytic, and so I take care to make sure that you understand each process and idea as concepts build on one another. But my no-nonsense approach insists that you will be playing and singing your favorite music almost immediately.
On the piano, I generally focus on chord theory and build from there. My sight reading method is unique and helps you to bypass the endless process of tedious reading laid out in the popular method books. For young students, I might start them with sight reading until they are able to understand the logic of chord theory.
For singers and songwriters, as well as speakers and actors, we lay a solid basis of technique and then look at popular examples from artists and styles you admire, whole working to expand your musical niche.
Most importantly, our goal is to ensure that you will enjoy creating music for the rest of your life.

Experience / Qualifications
Teaching since 1991.Performing nearly all my life (since the late 70s).
I grew up with music and was harmonizing before I could speak. The youngest of 7 musical children, singing was an obligation. When I was in high school at a small private school, they found themselves in need of a music teacher and I was nominated. I never looked back.
I went back to school to broaden my experience, and have been active in participating in a wide range of venues and musical settings in order to continue to broaden my horizons.
For several years I was a professor of music and humanities in Balan, Haiti. When unrest made it too dangerous to stay, my husband and I and our Haitian pup moved back to Minnesota where I am working on rebuilding my music studio.

Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.
My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Online Private and Personalized Singing Lessons for Young, Passionate VocalistsSinging is an incredible talent that I want to give you the passion for. This class is designed to help you find that passion by learning helpful techniques, exploring your versatility, and tailoring the lesson to your style. You can take this class for fun, or you can take it to help prepare for an audition or performance. It does not matter what you take it for! I'm here to teach anyone who wants to sing.
You can learn how to expand your vocal range, get rid of your performance anxiety, sing challenging pieces, and more! It is all based on your needs. I can also teach you musical language and how to read and understand music.
I am great with teaching younger children. I'm a patient teacher, but I like to challenge students based on their skill/experience level without overwhelming them. This is a judgment free zone! I want to give you the best experience that I can. I will assign "homework" based on what you are learning. The main thing that I ask is that you practice vocal exercises and the songs in your repertoire. I will make sure to take my own notes throughout the lesson and send them to you to practice what you learned.
My typical lesson plan includes:
1. A short check-in with the student (asking how they are)
2. Stretching warm-up
3. Breathing warm-up
4. Vocal warm-up
5. Work on the student's repertoire
6. Short wrap-up
My schedule will change to primarily weekends starting in late August! Please keep this in mind.

Musical Composition for all Levels with a Composer-ConductorAre you stuck? I can help!
In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.
Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

Learn how to play Piano (or Keyboard) at your own pace.Have you ever wanted to learn to play the piano/keyboard but don't know where to start? Are you regretting giving up learning the piano/keyboard when you were younger? Do you feel that your current progress in playing the piano/keyboard is being held back?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes then please contact me. I always try to ensure that each individual student's interests are catered for. If you want to play for pleasure then I will encourage you to learn pieces that you like. Alternatively, if you are more interested in achievement, in terms of taking graded exams, then this is the pathway that we will take.

MAO on Ableton & Reaper: from the first note to the final mix: creative, technical and tailor-made coachingDo you want to learn how to compose, mix or finalize your tracks with real sound?
Are you looking for someone who can explain things clearly, listen to you, encourage you and help you move forward without going around in circles?
Welcome.
My name is Tom and for 10 years I have been helping artists and enthusiasts create their music, better use their tools (Ableton, Reaper, Logic, etc.) and, above all, find their own sound.
· A clear, personalized method, at your own pace
· Solid foundations if you are a beginner (handling, composition, arrangements, etc.)
· Mixing and mastering courses
· Tools to unlock your creativity
· And an artistic eye to help you achieve your vision
Whether you are a complete beginner, with no knowledge of computer music or music, I will guide you step by step so that you quickly feel comfortable with the tools and can create your first pieces.
If you're self-taught, you may have already accumulated a lot of knowledge, but in a somewhat disorganized way: together, we'll structure all of that, clarify your basics and solidify your approach.
And if you are an artist already on the path, with projects or a vision under construction, I help you refine your universe, professionalize your sound, and go further in your artistic direction.
