About Me

My goal as a teacher is to make my students love guitar and music in general.
I love to explore different kinds of repertoire and help my students to develop their own taste and sensibility.
For the youngest I propose a playful approach to the instrument and to the music theory, with games, toys and drawings.
It is important for me to make my students feel relaxed and to work in a friendly context.

Caterina adapts to the level and wishes of the student and is friendly and patient. She deepens the learning opportunities with each exercise and has an eye for the short and long term learning process. She has an eye for detail without being discouraged. Bravissima! :-)

Just had my first lesson with Caterina and that was a very nice experience. She took her time to learn what I want to get out of the lessons and then quickly picked in on that with simple but effective excercises. Off to a good start!
It was a nice start. I am really happy with the first lesson taught by Caterina. She is really helpful and explains the basics quite well.

Flute technique, breathing system, repertoire and theory
The flute it’s a quite complex instrument, where the challenge is to find the balance between all the parameter, such as posture(in order to learn how to play fast passage), lips and everything concerning breathing technique(in order to get the best clear and powerful sound). It’ my job to guide the student in order to let him/her find that stability in order to get best results possible.

Classical guitar lessons for beginner, intermediate, or advanced players
I am passionate about teaching guitar! Over the last 10 years I have been teaching students from ages 7-70 from complete beginners to advanced players with one thing in common - their wish to play guitar more comfortably and have fun while doing it! I am a classical guitarist with a background in pedagogy, psychology and physiotherapy, my approach - methodical. While working on the things you want to improve and learn I will also help you develop a deep understanding of the theory and principles that music is built upon. Our lessons will be exploratory and imaginative whilst also underpinned by technical knowledge so that you can enjoy playing comfortably and without pain. My aim is to get you to where you want to be playing guitar, whether that be for friends at New Year or on the stage at Carnegie Hall!

Davy
Customised guitar lessons from classical to acoustic and electric
My name is Davy, I am 34 years old and have had the guitar in my fingers for 25 years. I graduated from the Music Academy Tongeren for both classical and electric guitar. In addition, I attended 2 years of Conservatory Jazz at LUCA School of Arts Campus Lemmens Institute. I started teaching in various situations since I was 16, both group lessons and individual lessons on instrument and music theory. Sharing my knowledge with others has always been a great passion. That is why I now offer private lessons tailored to my needs where I live in Leuven. This for both acoustic, classical and electric guitar in a range of styles. What you can expect is not a fixed course that we go over from A to Z, but a course that we build ourselves, as it were, focused on your musical taste, knowledge and goal on your instrument. Together with you, I will look at how I can teach you the necessary basics in a way that you can use it best for the genres you want to learn to play. I look forward to going on this musical journey of discovery with you!
