About Me

I am Vlad, a dedicated trumpet player and teacher with a deep love for music and sharing it with others. I began studying classical trumpet at age 7 in Ukraine, completed music school, and earned my Bachelor's in Classical Music there. I then moved to Belgium to pursue jazz, earning a Bachelor's in Jazz from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel (Royal Conservatory of Brussels). Currently, I am continuing my studies as a Master's student in Jazz Trumpet at the same prestigious conservatory.

With 16 years of trumpet experience—including 5 years actively performing professionally on the scene in jazz, groove, and pop projects—I bring both strong classical technique and creative, modern approaches to my teaching. I have been teaching independently for 4 years now (plus 1 year at a private music school in Blankenberge), and nothing brings me more joy than seeing my students progress, gain confidence, discover their sound, and fall in love with playing the trumpet.

I love adapting lessons to each student's goals—whether you're a complete beginner, preparing for auditions/exams, exploring improvisation, or just wanting to play for fun. Let's make music together in a supportive, motivating environment!

What if telling your story with music could be fun and playful?

Don't waste hours going around in circles, constantly searching for videos on YouTube to learn in a simple and structured way.

To finally be able to express your feelings, your emotions, all through the guitar?

It's possible! And what we'll see through my lessons: you'll learn how to tune the instrument, practice its first chords, and quickly play your first songs.

Develop your ear and musical identity by exploring styles such as pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, bossa nova, funk just to name a few.

Discover and explore the richness of scales and modes to combine them with playing expressions like hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato, bends... Does that sound like Chinese to you? I understand. Through my lessons, all of this will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Whether you have no experience or a few weeks of practice under your belt, we will go step by step, taking into account your level, so that you progress at your own pace.

Lessons in piano, harpsichord, and historical and modern cello, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, coordination, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.
In my teaching, I rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for more than 15 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello organ, and piano.

My method is based on serious and rigorous practice (while taking into account the student's ambitions) as well as learning most often by ear. This is indeed how music can be truly integrated over the long term.
I would be delighted to work with serious and determined students.

Graduated in cello in Barcelona, finishing my master in historical cello at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Passionate cellist with a lot of experience in performance and education. I specialize in historically informed music, so I try to understand the context around each music I play, so we enter into a dialogue between current events and the era in which the music was created. In my classes we will learn the basic technique of the cello but also we will look together for what we want to express with the music we make, and techniques more adapted to the era.

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.

Or, if you prefer, embark on a guided introduction to music, exploring essential concepts through carefully selected listening examples from across the globe.

I am a professional drummer, composer, and performer based in Brussels, with an active career in jazz, improvised, and creative music across Europe.

Whether your background is rock, pop, world, indie, or anything else, we focus on what serves your music, and on what learning this instrument can become. My goal is not to tell you strictly how things should be done, but to help you find your own way of doing them. To strengthen the musician that already exists inside you, and give you the tools to grow with confidence and independence.

I offer private drum lessons focused on long term development rather than isolated sessions. My work with students is based on regular weekly lessons, helping each drummer build solid technique, musical awareness, sound, and a personal voice in the instrument.

These lessons are for:
- Beginners who want a strong and musical foundation
- Intermediate players who want to improve groove, coordination, and confidence
- Creative musicians interested in improvisation, sound, and advanced rhythmic development.

My approach is practical and human. We work on what you really need, from basic technique and time feel to more advanced topics like independence, phrasing, and creative practice methods.

I mainly work with students who are interested in continuity and real progress through regular lessons.

My own quest with the instrument inevitably led me to want to help future musicians enjoy music and, at the same time, to develop myself as a violinist and as a person through teaching.

My method focuses on making the student feel comfortable with the instrument and finding their own way to express themselves through their body!

I offer classes in music composition, guitar, music theory, or all three!

I offer advanced lesson in compositions for students who are already writing would like to improve any aspects of their practice, or to revisit fundamentals and find new ways to develop material. I also have a special interest in experimentation and alternative notations so feel free to bring your wildest ideas!

For Guitar:
I work mainly with beginners / improvers, and my approach is to teach the techniques of various artists through learning songs as they were originally played. For fingerpicking this includes for example Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Paul Simon, Bob Dylan, and many more! Alongside this we will cover the basics of guitar playing, going equally into alternative tunings and extended techniques. I am very patient, and can always find the right way to explain something, so the lessons will move at the ideal pace for you.

I offer piano lessons in English, French or Italian for students of all ages and levels. Lessons focus on developing technique, musical understanding, listening skills, and artistic expression.

My teaching is grounded in the Faber Piano Adventures method and enriched with creative activities such as improvisation, four-hand duets, and simple composition exercises. Each lesson is adapted to your interests and pace, whether you are learning for personal enjoyment, creative exploration, or to support other musical practices.

For more advanced students, I also incorporate selected excerpts from Mikrokosmos by Béla Bartók, as well as pieces from the classical repertoire chosen in dialogue with the student.

As a conservatory-trained singer and composer with five years of teaching experience, I bring a dynamic, relational approach that connects instrumental technique with creativity and personal expression. Lessons take place in the student’s home in Ghent, Brussels, and nearby areas, and last 30, 45, or 60 minutes depending on age and level.
