Eartraining and jazzpiano for beginners up to intermediate students.

From 69 C$ /h

Harmony, melody and rhythm is what music is made of. That's all. Those three things. Although sometimes these things can be hard to distinguish. Feeling music is a completely different story though and is not something you can measure or maybe even define.

With understanding the basics or more profound structures in music you might find a new dimension with the feeling and appreciation you have for the sounds that you love.

Answers, exercises, solutions. We can find them together in a quest to find your questions about eartraining and jazzpiano. We can work on fingerings with exercises in partition, specific voicings, left- and right hand coördination, eartraining exercises from beginner up to conservatory level and more specific issues.

I studied three years jazzpiano at the Lemmens Conservatory in Leuven, Belgium and played keys in a pop/funk band based in Brussels for about the same amount of time.
Now i work in construction but still play piano everyday because music is beautiful!

I am a professional violinist with more than 15years of teaching experience and I am a memeber of the orchestra of Opera Royal de Wallonie-Liège. I graduated with distinction at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Master) and I hold a Bachelor Diploma from Codarts (Rotterdam).
I also pursued a masters degree in Music Education at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.

I teach students of all ages and levels.
I have fifteen years of teaching experience in the Netherlands and in Belgium ( privately and at music schools/muziekacademies).

Music is my passion and I love sharing this passion with my students.
In my lessons I help the student 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.

I graduated from the Conservatoire de Nice CNRR (France) in jazz guitar.
I studied there for seven years with renowned professors such as Jean Paul Ceccarelli (Sting), Pierre Bertrand, Robert Persi or Philippe Petit.
My teaching method is flexible and I adapt it to the needs and desires of the student.
We will discuss the technical work on the instrument, the knowledge of the neck and chords and the rhythm. With or without solfege.
The goal is to provide the student with the necessary tools so that he can continue learning by himself at home.

Have you ever listened to a piece of music and wanted to understand more about it?

I’m offering personalized music lessons, where YOU decide what to explore! Whether you're curious about harmony, rhythm, musical styles from around the world, or any other concept, I will tailor each lesson to your interests. And if there’s a topic I’m not familiar with yet, I’ll take the time to learn and prepare the lesson just for you.

The Human Voice has an intimate and emotional connection with our physical body and mentality, whenever we express ourself through speaking, singing, improvising or simply long to express what words cannot, the voice is one of the most direct and authentic ways to connect with ourselves and with others.

Drawing on my professional training in Jazz Vocal at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, my background in Chinese traditional music, and years of personal practice in yoga and qigong, I have developed an organic, embodied approach to vocal expression. Rather than focusing only on vocal technique, I guide students to explore the relationship between breath, body awareness, deep listening, and the natural flow of energy (Qi). Through this process, the voice becomes freer, more grounded, and more expressive.

My lessons are open to singers of all levels, as well as anyone who wishes to reconnect with their voice. Whether your goal is to sing, improvise, build confidence, or discover a more authentic way of expressing yourself, I offer a supportive and creative space where curiosity and individuality are encouraged.

Whether you want to learn for pleasure, tackle your favorite pieces, or acquire a solid foundation in music theory, I will guide you step by step in your progress. Looking forward to making music together!

European Music Institute was born from the desire to offer exceptional musical education, focused on the overall development of each student. Founded by professional musicians and educators with extensive experience in conservatories and academies, our institute, located in Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, supports children, teenagers, and adults with passion, rigor, and kindness.

Every student is unique. That's why we continually adapt our lessons to each student's age, initial level, motivations, and pace. Beyond the essential technical foundations, we develop musicality, attentive listening, interpretation, and personal expression to enable everyone to achieve true artistic independence.

For our team, playing an instrument is a enriching and transformative experience. It actively contributes to strengthening concentration, memory, sensitivity, and self-confidence. Placing the student at the heart of our approach guarantees an ideal balance between the joy of learning, creative freedom, and personal fulfillment.

I also offer early music lessons on historical plucked string instruments: lute, theorbo, baroque guitar and romantic guitar.

Courses in music theory and solfège, as well as courses in music history, are also available.

I'm ENERVIU, a DJ and music curator based in Brussels. My sound ranges from UK club music like garage, bass, dub, and breaks to house, jazz, and funk selections. I play in various settings, from clubs to private events, and I also share my passion through videos about the history of musical genres.

I offer a four-session introductory course to DJing, tailored to your level and tastes.
My goal: to give you the basics to become independent behind the decks, develop your selection, and build a world that reflects your personality. Each session combines explanations, listening, and practical application.

**Session 1 — Discover DJing and develop your listening skills**

We will explore the role of the DJ and the different facets of their practice: club, radio, bar, or private event. We will discuss musical research, selection, and what gives a set its identity.

Through listening, you will learn to recognize tempo, beats, measures, and musical phrases, as well as identify introductions, breaks, and repeats. These fundamentals will allow you to better understand the energy of a piece and the appropriate moments for a transition.

*Objective: to acquire basic listening skills and begin making a personal selection.*

**Session 2 — Understanding Turntables and the Mixing Console**

We will discover the equipment and its essential controls: playback, cue, jog, tempo adjustment, faders, gain and equalization.

You will learn how to use headphone pre-listening, adjust levels, and synchronize two tracks. We will cover beatmatching, both by ear and with available tools, to help you understand what you are doing and gain confidence.

Objective: to get to grips with the equipment and perform your first sequences.

**Session 3 — Preparing your music with Rekordbox**

We will use Rekordbox to import your tracks, organize your library and create playlists tailored to your mixing preferences.

You will learn to read waveforms, check the tempo and rhythmic grid, and then place useful cues using Memory Cues and Hot Cues. We will cover keys as a selection aid and prepare a USB drive compatible with the equipment used.

Objective: to have an organized and ready-to-play selection.

**Session 4 — Practicing and building your first mix**

We will combine the acquired skills to link several pieces together: tempo matching, alignment of musical phrases and transitions using volumes and equalization.

We'll also work on the progression of the set: creating an atmosphere, choosing the next track, gradually building energy, and letting the music breathe. You'll create a short mix that we'll listen to together to identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

We will conclude with useful tips for a first performance: prepare your music, plan a backup and check the technical conditions of the venue.

Objective: to create a first coherent mix and leave with exercises to continue progressing.

Throughout the journey, we will start with the music you love to refine your listening skills, affirm your choices, and develop the pleasure of sharing it.

**Session 5 — Preparing your first gigs and presenting your DJ project**

We will explore the first steps to playing in public: contacting venues and programmers, sharing a relevant mix and clearly communicating your availability, rates and technical requirements.

We'll cover the essential elements of a short biography, a press kit, and a technical rider. Drawing on my experience in clubs and at private events, we'll see how to adapt your offering to different contexts while staying true to your musical identity.

Finally, we will build a personal action plan: skills to develop further, the next mix to record and venues to target for your first gigs.

*Objective: to understand how bookings work and leave with concrete steps to develop your DJ project.*
