Cello lessons for everyone given by a very friendly Australian!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
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.

Extra information

Students under the age of 12 must have a parent present.

I like to teach in Dutch, English is my mother tongue; So if you prefer to receive lessons in that language for practice, that is also possible. Moreover, I like to teach German in German for German speakers.

Students must have their own cello and tools (at least a bow, rosin, cleaning cloth and floor protector; preferably also an iPad or device to send and print sheet music electronically). Unfortunately, I cannot deliver this myself, but I can take you to the service providers.

Although I try to stick to the same weekly class times, this may necessarily change due to performance requirements.

For toddlers, children under 12 years old or as desired, lessons can be shortened to, for example, 15-20 minutes, for which I charge the same as for half an hour.

About Me

Very friendly Australian cellist at your service!

Hello! I am an Australian professional cellist living in Antwerp.

I'm delighted to bring my skills and experience to Belgium and draw on those from my fellow artists and citizens here.

I love teaching people of all ages and levels, helping them learn and develop as best I can, and firmly believe in positive teaching methods.

I recently graduated with distinction from the Master of Music degree program at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp in the class of Professor Olsi Leka, and am now seeking to establish myself here as a teacher and performer.

I already perform occasionally as a cellist with the Belgian National Orchestra and performed frequently in Australia with leading orchestras such as the Opera Australia Orchestra resident in the famous Sydney Opera House, the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra and the Canberra Symphony Orchestra of the national capital.

I've also performed at hundreds of important occasions of all kinds, personal and institutional, and taught at prestigious as well as small schools; all experiences which have been meaningful, each in their own way.

I am a product of different teaching methods including Suzuki and can teach in whatever way the student likes or finds most enjoyable and beneficial. There is no single right way to learn, but I certainly take utmost care to avoid the wrong ways!

Lessons normally take place at my apartment in Berchem but traveling may be possible by negotiation.

I am more than happy to teach in English, Dutch or German.

I look forward very much to fielding your inquiries and embarking together on a wonderfully enriching journey!

All levels and all purposes are welcome! When it comes to learning a language, there’s no replacement for learning from a native speaker. I work with students so that they get the best value for their time and effort. Above all, language learning should be enriching and enjoyable! Please free to ask any questions.

Harples, piano lessons, solfège - for all levels and ages - Mechelen, Antwerp, Bonheiden region
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. I am familiar with different styles for both harp and piano, 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.

Charel

Guitar lessons for all levels: Jazz, Rock, Blues, Rnb, Hip hop, etc!
If you want to get better at playing the guitar and music in general, this class is for you. Over the years of playing and studying music with guitar as my main instrument, I have amassed a great deal of knowledge, skill, information, etc. which I would like to share with all the seekers. There are endless subjects to be discussed when it comes to music and guitar. And, since everyone is different and is aiming at a different goal, I do not use a "one size fits all" approach with these lessons. However, a number of topics could be touched upon and thoroughly studied. Some of the standard topics that I could cover in the lesson are as follows: 1. Chords, voicing, etc. 2. Playing tunes 3. Improvisation 4. Arrangement 5. Transcription 6. Harmony analysis 7. Technique 8. Arpeggios 9. Ear training 10. listening 11. Playing in a group 12. Recording guitar And more...

Bass Guitar and Music Theory Lessons || Online and Private
I teach bass guitar which is my main instrument of 12 years, to all ages. I have experience mainly teaching it to beginners and intermediates. The classes are structured to cover basics of bass playing in terms of both technique and theory. One may expect to have exercises as weekly assignments. These exercises are weekly put together by me using a variety of bass method books. The weight of music theory, harmony and ear training within what we cover can be rearranged according to the needs and expectations of the student.

Violin and music theory lessons: for beginner, intermediate and advanced level.
My name is Juan Carlos and I am master student at the Koninklijk Conservatoire Antwerp.

You can contact me and tell me what you are interested in so I can help you with what you need.

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.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I 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.

As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
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 :)
