Advanced Music Theory for Classical Musicians online
**I help classical musicians elevate their musicianship skills to the next level**
I teach music theory that makes sense and becomes a powerful tool, not a boring drill.
My students are music teachers, professional musicians, university students, and avid amateurs.
My program is focused on essential harmonic formulas and patterns in classical music. You will learn about Romanesca, Monte, Tied Bass, Cascade, and so on. Learning the patterns improves your ear skills, makes sight reading and memorisation easier, influences your performance, and change the way you listen to music. If you've studied music theory but have never heard these names, that's perfectly fine. This method is relatively new, although it is based on traditions of music education from past eras.
These lessons are far from boring and tedious written drills in music theory that you might be familiar with from exams and textbooks. I believe that music theory should be as practical and hands-on as possible. Imagine learning a foreign language by only doing written "fill in the blank" exercises. Could you have a chat with a native speaker after such exercises?
**What do I offer?**
- learning platform with short and concise textual lessons, various exercises, and tests;
- weekly 45 min Zoom calls to discuss your questions and progress;
- homework assignments with my written feedback.
**This program is suitable for:**
✅ Musicians of any instrument (or voice), specialising in classical music;
✅ those who have studied music theory, but their skills are a bit rusty, and they want to refresh and deepen them;
✅ those who feel a bit stuck and insecure when explaining the harmony and form of a new piece to their students;
✅ those who are looking for a way to develop their musical ear on a regular basis.
✅ those who would like to compose music in the style of the old masters.
**This program is not recommended for:**
❌ Those aiming to pass ABRSM, AMEB, or other exam boards. I'm not against exams, but I recommend following them only if you absolutely need to provide formal results.
❌ Those playing contemporary, jazz, pop music. The primary harmonic patterns, as well as examples, are mainly drawn from the music of composers from the 18th and 19th centuries.
❌ Complete beginners, as it will take a lot of time and lead to significant frustration along the way.
You don't have to finish a conservatory course to go through this program. However, here's what it's advisable to know and be able to do:
- Read notes in treble and bass clefs.
- Know scales up to 3-4 sharps or flats.
- Understand the structure of the major scale and the three types of minor scales.
- Build intervals within an octave.
- Hum a scale.
The process of developing musicality doesn't happen quickly. It's a long and challenging journey, but if you play music, you know what I mean. I'm not going to lie that in 30 days I will help you reach a whole new level of the musicianship. But I show you the path, I can take you by the hand, and get you covered with every question that may arise along the journey.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Online piano lessons for everybody: from any starting level with any set goal!Learning to play the piano is a wonderful and very diverse experience! Every beginner has to go through it in their own special way in order to realize one's personal aspirations. But sometimes, unfortunately, due to a lack of guidance and direction, the learning process may cause some difficulties followed by unexpected disappointment. If you are in need of said guidance, if your learning experience is not that captivating or satisfying anymore, you don't have to turn away from your dreams of playing the piano - I will gladly help you to get closer to them in a fun and enjoyable way in our lessons!
After finishing music school with the highest grades twice as well as a number of additional courses (improvisation, composition, orchestras, etc.) and after honing my teaching skills for more than 4 years, I can safely say that my lessons may prove useful to any type of student with any kind of given objective at hand. No matter your age, your previous experience, or background, you just need to name me your personal goal, task, or even a dream - be ready to dedicate a little time and effort, and I will take care of all the rest. Learning your favorite song, getting prepared for a concert, or simply improving the skills you already possess - in music, everything is possible and achievable, and I'll be more than glad to prove it to you in our lessons.

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." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (USA). 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.
