About Me

What is most rewarding in teaching is to be able to pass on knowledge to someone keen to learn. I’m quite open and my lessons although focused on bagpipes encompass all aspects of musicality - having a Masters in music I am quite versed in this and know how to break down all the little bits in a way that’s digestible for the beginner, or interesting for a more advanced player.

I like a student who is genuinely interested and is willing to put in some time throughout the week, and shows up at the lesson having made some progress. My job is to help you along your journey.

I have taught as a TA at Acadia University in Canada, lecturing in the music composition class and correcting exams/assignments for the theory class. This was extremely rewarding for me. I was confronted by a variety of skill sets and learning approaches, which I had to adapt more or less to each student.

If you want to test the pipes, give me a shout!

Best,

A.

Very pleasant explanation and try out! Ideal as a surprise gift!

Great class, very informative and pedagogical. A very approachable, friendly and professional person. It was great
I specalize in composing music for ensembles, soloists, and orchestra - with a Masters of Music Composition from the Koninklijke Conservatorum Antwerpen. My goal is to pass along knowledge and coach young musicians who wish to create their own music, either as a composer, or simply to stimulate their own performance practice. I have a background of classical, folk, and various popular music styles including heavy metal, rock, pop, etc. We can work through the development of your works, touching on relevant aspects of music history, and implementing them into your compositional practice.
I offer lessons on the chanter, as well as on the full pipes themselves! Home in Canada I've worked with kids, to young adults, to the elderly - if you're looking for an introduction to the pipes, or to hone your skills then I look forward to hearing from you!

Violin lessons in Antwerp, in English or in French
I am a professional violinist based in Antwerp, currently finishing a master in pedagogy in the Conservatory of Mons. I propose to teach the violin to children or adults. I adapt as much as possible to everyone, according to what you want to play with the violin :) I am also looking a lot for the best posture, to find the most comfortable way of playing for each student. I am free in the weeks and in the weekend, so feel free to contact me! ----------------------------------------------- I am a professional violinist currently living in Antwerp. I am also in pedagogy training at the Conservatory of Mons. I propose to give lessons at home, I adapt to each student, according to the time he devotes to the instrument and his tastes. The approach of the instrument for beginners can be done in a "classic" way (through exercises, studies, pieces) or more playful. I can also give notions of music theory in addition! Possibility also to work only by ear. I focus a lot on the feeling, the relaxation and the posture, so that playing the violin is still a pleasure. I can give classes in French or English.

Mikko
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.

Sara
Music and Piano classes - beginner to intermediate
I have been learning the violin and piano since 5 years old, and am currently taking a bachelor's in Music Performance in Violin, at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp. Students of any age are welcome, and I have special experience with beginner and younger students, having given a lot of lessons in piano and music theory. I teach in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and basic Dutch. The individual piano lessons are personalized and tailored to the progress and learning ability of each student. Emphasis is placed on developing good posture and ease of movement at the early stage. We will then continue to revise and enhance technique while taking on a more challenging repertoire as they progress. Lessons are stress-free and I always try to provide a safe and calm environment for an engaging and fun class! Games for little kids are an absolute must! Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a question! :)
