Piano and improvisation lessons (also without note knowledge)

From 69.98 C$ /h

I've been playing the piano since I was 10. But at the music academy I learned piano in a very scholastic way. We always had to learn scores, which you spend a lot of time on, and once you could do it perfectly, you already had to switch to another piece. I got tired of this and started improvising. I now make my own songs and I prefer to play the piano more than ever before. I would like to share this with other people as well. I do this in combination with solfège, so that everyone has the basics. The lessons consist of 70-80% solfège and piano pieces (I work with piano books) and then we conclude with 20-30% improvisation. Improvisation is experienced by all my students as the most enjoyable part of the lesson.

Extra information

A piano is needed.

About Me

I am a 23 year old psychology student. I have been playing the piano since I was ten. I always had to learn songs from music sheets at the music academy, which has reduced my motivation to play the piano. You practice for a long time and once you can play it perfectly, you have to immediately switch to another sheet and repeat the whole process.
That's why I started improvising, and now I play my own songs. I would like to share this knowledge with others. I can give piano lessons to people who already have piano knowledge (but would also like to learn to improvise) and to beginners. If desired, I can also give basic music theory to beginners.

Education

I have studied music and piano at the musicacademy of Geel since I was ten. I learned classical piano pieces and also played together with a partner so that we sat at the piano with 2, and in the last year of my education, there was a new option to choose (it was called 'begeleidingspraktijk', I don't know how to translate that) and I did it for a year and there I learned a lot for my improvisations.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been playing the piano for 11 years, and have also had music theory, so I can also teach music theory too if desired. Of those 11 years, I have been fully concentrated on improvisation for the last 3 years.

Piano Classes and Solfège (no prior knowledge required)

69.98 C$ /h

My ultimate goal is to let people enjoy playing the piano. In my classes, the focus is less on the competitive side of piano, but it is rather about the music we can create together. After going to the music academy with a rather strict, school-like approach, I prefer to make my classes instructive, but without comprising the joy of playing piano.

I learned to play the piano with the books of Folk Dean, so I will use them in my classes too. These books are for beginners, people who don't know anything about piano at all. Most of the student I have now are beginners. I will teach amongst other things how you play with the right posture, how to read notes, how to create musicality... I will give you a solid basis for a pianist. I will also teach you the solfège that you need to know. There's no prior knowledge required for this class.

Students of all ages and levels can contact me to follow private piano lessons live in Antwerp, Beerzel or online through the camera (Zoom or Skype).
As a pianist and teacher, I have years of teaching experience at private and public schools throughout Croatia.
My main music education and training I got in Zagreb (Croatia) and Vienna (Austria). In 2020 I graduated in the discipline of the piano as 'Master in music' at the ‘Academy of Music’ in Zagreb.

I am familiar with performing the classical repertoire as well as modern 20th and 21st-century music. In 2020 I had been selected as a pianist to represent the composition of Belgian composer Gillis Sacré at a composition competition in Vienna.
In 2016 I took part in a euphony project and performed on a concert tour in Slovenia, Hungary, Austria and Croatia.

Later I further developed myself on numerous piano and chamber music masterclasses with pedagogues Ruben Dalibaltayan, Vera Vaidman, Andrea Padova, Ratko Delorko, Đuro Tikvica among others.

Between 2019 and 2022 I was connected as a professor at the ‘Ivan Matetić Ronjgov’ music school at the department on the island of Rab in Croatia.

Classical piano : with a little knowledge of music theory, I teach you the basics of piano, as well as the more advanced pieces.

Chords: No solfège required. I teach you the basics of chords and so you can play full pop songs after a few lessons.

Hey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.

For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)

I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.

The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.

See you soon!
Richard

PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

The content of the lessons is adapted to the needs and wishes of each student.
It is possible to follow a combination of music theory and instrument, or only focus on one aspect.

Depending on the student's goal, the level, teaching method and music styles are adjusted and personalized in consultation.
Together we will look at what your learning needs are and which method suits you best.

As a teacher I am familiar with different styles, from classical music (baroque, impressionism, classicism, romanticism and contemporary music), to folk music, jazz standards, pop songs or minimalist music.
There is also the option to work from improvisations.

The lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, the personal profile of the student is central.

Nice to meet you :D

My name is Melvin, and I'm a pianist/composer and music theorist who loves to guide people with a passion for music! In my lessons, I teach three different subjects in which I specialize and perhaps can help you improve your skills as a musician.

If you want to play the piano intuitively, without thinking about it, or interpret scores, then Piano + Improvisation is the course for you! Together, we'll break through the boundaries of traditional sheet music and teach you to unleash your inner musicality. Whether you're a beginning pianist longing to improvise simple melodies or an experienced player looking to explore new expressive paths, I'll inspire and encourage you to broaden your musical horizons.

Have you always wanted to write your own music, but don't know how to get started? Then together we'll push your creative boundaries and help you develop your own musical masterpieces. Whether you're a budding composer taking your first steps or an experienced musician looking for new inspiration, I'm here to guide and inspire you on your unique composition journey.

Need some theory because you don't understand certain elements of music? No worries! Step by step, we'll explore the fundamentals of music theory together, delving into notes, chords, rhythm, and structure. You'll discover how all these elements work together to create masterpieces, or to better understand scores as a musician.

I'm looking forward to meeting you :D
