Cello lessons and Conservatory preparation
Cello Lessons for all levels:
My main goal with my teaching is to share my passion for music with my students. I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello. Besides the discipline one learns, Music-making in itself is fulfilling!! :)
Conservatory Preparation:
In my experience as a musician living and working in Belgium for the past 6 years, I have noticed a gap in the musical education of young Belgian music students transitioning from Music academies into Conservatories. Oftentimes, these young music students seeking to enter conservatories do not possess the necessary skill level to enter higher education in Music. Through my private teaching, I intend to bridge this gap by catering specifically (though not exclusively) to these students. I strongly believe that there is a huge demand for this type of teaching which I am capable of providing.

About Me
About me:Hello! I am a Filipino-American cellist who first moved to Antwerp in 2016 to study with Justus Grimm. I also regularly take masterclasses and lessons from cellists such as Pieter Wispelwey, Nathaniel Rosen, Young-Chang Cho, Gustav Rivinius, Alexander Rudin, and many others.
Since 2010, I have continuously worked as a freelancer in various musical settings (as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral musician) in Asia, North America, and Europe. For the past five years, I have been the principal cellist of the Young Belgian Strings, where I lead and mentor young cellists from different Conservatories in Belgium. I am currently building my private cello teaching studio and intend to teach to share my experience and the wonderful joy of music.
Music is my passion and my goal in teaching is to share this passion with my students! I believe strongly that this passion leads to discipline and curiosity which benefit all other aspects of one's life. Whether or not my students decide to pursue music as their main profession, I believe they have much to gain from learning the cello.

Cello lessons for everyone given by a very friendly Australian!Cello lessons for everyone, beginners to advanced students (e.g. Conservatory).
I always strive to create a positive, confidence-building experience in every lesson, whether the student does it for fun or wants to set higher goals for themselves.
I would like to offer my full dedication to you or your child, whether playing the instrument for the first time or in preparation for auditions, competitions, a career as a professional cellist and everything in between!
Each lesson is tailored to the individual wishes and needs of the student, for which I can use a range of learning materials - which also includes many duets that we can play together as student and teacher!
You don't have to know exactly what you want yet; together we can discuss and try it out to see what will work best for you; I will guide you in the right direction! So please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you may have.
I usually teach at my home, but I am happy to come to you depending on accessibility and travel time by bicycle, tram or train.

Classical Piano lessons: Large range of composers and mouvements.French student who just moved to Antwerp, I've been giving lessons for years in France and it was such a pleasure, that I want to experience it here again. Specialized in Romanticism/Modern, I also improvise.
I can teach the good habits as a pianist to never hurt yourself and to quickly develop a good technique and musicality: Position, gesture, and practice tools.
I also love to link the pieces with images, paintings, and movies, to create a whole connected world of senses and art.
Marcos
Do you want to improve or learn to play the clarinet? This is your moment, contact me!Hello! My name is Marcos, I am a clarinetist and I live in Brussels. I offer private lessons in person (they can be at your place or mine) or online.
I have experience as a teacher for the last few years with children, adults, individual and group classes. Professional or amateur level.
In my lessons, I help students find a good contact with the instrument and cultivate a positive relationship with music by integrating the development of auditory skills, a sense of rhythm and optimal use of the body, allowing them to connect with their musical imagination.
Lessons are tailored to the needs and desires of each student.
The most important thing is that we have a good time!

Warre
Classical guitar: lessons for everyone at every levelClassical guitar is one of the most beautiful and versatile instruments out there! You can play music from all styles and from all times. But learning to play the guitar is not something you do alone: you need someone who will guide you personally and help you discover what you can get out of your instrument. So do you dream of starting to make music yourself but don't know where to start? Or have you been playing for some time, but are you looking for a more personal approach in your lessons?
Then you've come to the right place!
I'm Warre and I've been playing classical guitar for over 16 years. A few years ago I decided to go for a life as a professional musician and enrolled at a conservatory. This year I completed my Master of Music at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven. I have been teaching guitar for several years now. I look forward to meeting my students every week. Few things are more fun than watching someone discover music and get so much fun out of it!
No prior musical knowledge is required. If you are a total beginner, we will start from scratch. And it's never too late to get started! Of course, more experienced players are also welcome for lessons that are completely tailored to your needs.
Lessons at my home in the center of Antwerp or online. Current availabilities valid until the end of August.
