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!

Lessons in piano or harpsichord, 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, 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 about 20 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.

[ENGLISH, SEE BELOW]

A music theory course for anyone who wants to start with a solid foundation in music, or for an already advanced musician who wants to go further. This course is also perfect for an academy or conservatory student who wishes to prepare for the music theory exam.

Despite the fact that this is a so-called theoretical course, everything that is seen will first be worked on in a musical context and experienced by the student in order to be assimilated. The theoretical explanations will follow from it by itself.

On the program (student's choice)

- Ear training (knowing how to rewrite melodies with one or more voices, chords, etc.)

- Note readings in one or more keys

- Rhythm readings, polyrhythmic work

- Encryption and recognition of agreements,

- Transposition.

This musical theory lesson suits to every level, from the one who wants to learn how to read music to the one who wants to know more about chords, transposition or polyrythms. This lesson is also perfect for a student who wants to prepare an examination.

In despite the fact I called these lesson "Musical theory", it is firstly about understanding the music. And that can only be possible by ... doing music. So be aware that we will be singing, playing chords, clapping rhythms, ... My purpose is that the student understand by himself first, then the theory will come naturally.

What we can do during a lesson (student can choose):

- Ear training (Learn to catch a melody of one or several voices and write it down by ear, recognizing chords, recognizing rhythms, ...)

- Rythmical work: learn to clap different rhythms in different time signatures. Also included polyrythms.

- Key reading, in one or several keys.

- Transposition (learn how to read a flute sheet while you're playing trumpet, ..)

My clarinet and music theory lessons are fully tailored to each individual. It doesn’t matter if you’re a beginner, have been playing for years, or need help with music theory: together, we’ll find the best way for you to progress. In clarinet lessons, we work on both technique (sound, embouchure, fingering, breathing...) and repertoire, always adapted to your tastes and level. We can play anything from classical pieces to more modern music. In music theory lessons, I help you understand theory in a clear and practical way: rhythm reading, intonation, dictations, basic harmony... Everything is explained step by step, without rushing, and with examples connected to real music. My goal is for you to learn while having fun, without pressure, and at your own pace. I am patient, approachable, and I love helping each student feel comfortable and motivated. In addition, I can complement practical lessons with theory, or vice versa, depending on your needs. I would be delighted to help you!

Music is a powerful way to express yourself. Playing an instrument can be a very intimate experience — a moment to give yourself some time, put your frustrations aside, and simply enjoy making music. But it can also be a fun hobby to share with the people you love: playing for them, singing and dancing together, or simply listening and enjoying the music.

I want to share this gift with my students.

In my lessons, I believe it is important to have goals and, at the same time, to enjoy the journey. I want my students to play music that inspires them and pieces that they genuinely enjoy. Whether you are starting from the beginning, returning to the piano, or looking to develop your playing further, we will work together to find the right balance between learning, improving, and having fun.

For me, playing the piano is not only about learning the right notes. It is about discovering your own voice through music.

I am a saxophonist and music student with around ten years of experience, with a background in both classical and jazz music. I studied at a music high school before specializing in jazz at Siena Jazz, where I developed a strong foundation in saxophone, improvisation, harmony and music theory.
As a teacher, I like to create a relaxed and motivating environment where students can learn at their own pace. I believe that lessons should be adapted to each student's level, interests and goals. We can work on technique, sound, reading, improvisation, jazz language, theory or simply learn to play the music you enjoy.
Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some experience, my goal is to help you become more confident with your instrument while developing your own musical personality. I particularly enjoy working with students who are curious and want to explore different styles and approaches to music.
