I seek to be interactive in bringing to life the classroom theory with the practice of journalism generally and radio and online journalism in particular. In the delivery of the content, you may be provided with a basic understanding of radio broadcasting generally and why even in today's social media-driven environment professionally produced audio content is still relevant and appropriate. Wherever necessary, you will be exposed to real-life examples of content. This will be coupled with or based on a a wealth of experience operating in a Developing Nation/Third World environment in which journalists have to navigate political, economic and other challenges. There is a significant emphasis on ethical journalism and the integrity of the journalist in the practice of his or her craft. I am a great teacher because I aim to simplify complex journalism concepts by applying them to real-life situations. Students are generally satisfied with my approach especially with an emphasis on social interactionism.

Eamonn
Guitar and singing lessons in Brussels with a professional singer-songwriter/producer (En/Fr)
Trained at the Music Academy International, I propose private lessons of Guitar, Singing, and/or Audio Production centered on amplified music (funk, soul, jazz, rock, blues, etc.) and adapted to the requests of each student. My classes are open to all, children and adults, beginners or advanced. I attach great importance to the understanding of the technical tools implemented in the interpretation of the pieces, a typical lesson is therefore divided between technical work with clear explanations and actual practice on songs to play or sing. If the student is interested, I also teach the more theoretical aspects of music, such as harmony (scales, chords, modes, improvisation), music theory, rhythm, ear training, and deciphering. I also offer coaching sessions. These are non-regular sessions to target work on specific aspects of the requested repertoire. Each lesson is accompanied by work material (paper or audio) to practice at home. For guitar lessons, an instrument can be made available, for singing lessons, I accompany the student on the piano or the guitar (it is also possible to use backing tracks when the key and tempo are right ) and for audio production, I can provide the software required to start on any operating system (Win, Mac, and Linux) (I don't work with pirated software). Classes are given in my studio in Etterbeek, 5-minute walk from La Chasse. I also teach group lessons for singing, do not hesitate to contact me for more information. Flexible schedule (daytime or evening).
