    About Me

    Hello , so my name is Cormac.

    I have been writing songs for over 10 years now and have started to finally teach other people how to approach songwriting from both a lyrical and melodic angle. I was born and raised in Belgium to Irish parents and have been singing for most of my life either in choirs at school when i was younger , to bars / cafes and even on the streets of Brussels. Due to the covid situation and the lockdown i started to think about teaching more people online about songwriting and getting to grips with the basics of piano and guitar which , in my opinion are two of the best tools for writing songs.

    I look forward to being able to teach you the basics of guitar / piano and / or singing so that you can start to develop your own songwriting skills and also find your own unique sound that you can share with the world!

    My method is based on serious and rigorous practice (while taking into account the student's ambitions) as well as learning most often by ear. This is indeed how music can be truly integrated over the long term. I would be delighted to work with serious and determined students.

    Professional pianist and passionate about pedagogy, I have been teaching piano and music theory for 10 years now in conservatories, music schools and private lessons.

I adapt to the profile of each student so that they can flourish musically!

    Valentina
    Piano lessons / Solfege training for all ages and all levels.
    Have you always wanted to play the piano but you don't know how to get started? Where to start? You are in the right place. I offer piano lessons, with solfege training in parallel if necessary. I work with all ages and levels. I adapt pieces and ways of learning to each student, any propositions from the students are also welcomed :) So what are you waiting for? Let's learn music together!

    Mario
    Piano lessons for all levels and all ages.
    I teach Classical Piano, Jazz, Pop, Variety, Rock, Solfege and Harmony, for beginners or for more advanced levels and for all ages (children, teenagers, adults). I also work with the singers who need to learn the chords and general bases of Harmony applied to the Piano.

    Boris
    Music lessons in piano, cello, harpsichord, for all ages and levels.
    Lessons in piano, harpsichord, and historical and modern cello, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, coordination, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history. In my teaching, I rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony. Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes. English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch. I have been teaching for more than 15 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students. I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello organ, and piano.

    Hey! Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but aren't sure where to start? Or maybe you just want to take your piano playing to the next level? In either case, you can come to me for piano and theory lessons tailored to your needs! Are you a fan of pop/jazz music rather than classical? We can easily take care of this too!
