Saxophone and Music Theory Classes for Beginners and Advanced players

I want to help people to explore the world of music and to find their own way of expressing themselves in a comfortable and supported environment customized for the individual.
The small amounts of music theory, accompanying the saxophone lessons, are necessary in order to understand what is being done and why.
A own saxophone is necessary. If you have none yet, feel free to contact me, I will be happy to advice you.

About Me

We as humans are very used to expressing ourselves. Everybody does it by some sort of language. May it be body language or the tongue one is speaking, all of them helping to express our ideas. In contrast, I am here to help people find a way to express themselves via music. I want to help people to explore the world of music and to find their own way of expressing themselves in a comfortable and supported environment customized for the individual.
As a kid, I tried many different instruments over the years, but didn't seem to like any I tried out. Even when I first started playing the saxophone, I wasn't quite sure, but I kept going and now I consider it one of the best decisions I have made in my life.
It doesn't matter if one is playing a piece of music written by Mozart more than 300 years ago or improvising over his favourite jazz piece, it is a form of communication and expression and I want to show my students how to speak this language.

Education

I have taken lessons for over 7 years and got taught and played with multiple professors of various instruments. I played in and performed with multiple bands, ensembles and orchestras.

Experience / Qualifications

8+ Years of saxophone experience
Experience in stage performances, including improvisation
Experience with multiple genres: Jazz, Pop, Classic, Funk, Brass, Soul
Experience with multiple saxophones but mainly alto

With more than 10 years of playing experience, I enjoy teaching beginners and intermediate guitar players in various genres. Lessons for young and old!
When I turned 10, my father gave me my first guitar, and since then I have fallen in love with the instrument. He taught me the intricacies of technique and music theory. In my lessons I can teach you about Blues, Rock, RnB, neo-Soul, Funk and Pop. We will work on the technology and underlying theory. We also work on recognizing progressions, chords and intervals. Together we experience your playing style and I teach you the intricacies of guitar playing. I would like to offer you tailor-made lessons and targeted results. Ready to get started?

Classical Piano, Music Theory, Harmony and Solfege Lessons!
Hello! I offer piano lessons for people at any level. I have experience with beginners, intermediate and advanced players. I have experience with students from age 12 to senior students. I have experience playing and performing music from the Early Baroque to Contemporary Music. Nevertheless, my expertise remains in music from Bach to post-romantic and neoclassic composers. I also have experience performing piano Spanish music (Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albéniz, and Enric Granados). I also offer Music Theory, Harmony, Solfege, Musical Dictation and Ear Training Lessons. I have some notions on Jazz piano, and I can definitely teach Rock and Pop piano. Nevertheless, my expertise remains in Classical Piano playing and performing. I would prefer not to teach at my place since I am currently living in a student house with a lot of people living in it... But if you are OK with this, then I see no problem! Hope to hear from you soon! Stay safe in these pandemic times and have fun! All the best,

Learn how to play guitar from a classical guitarist! Complement it by learning music theory.
The class is suited to the student's interests and objectives! Do you want to learn how to... play the chords of your favourite song? Or maybe understand how those chords work and the logic between them, so you can write a song yourself? read music and play classical music? Have you already begun playing but you wish to take it to the next step? Are you super motivated but your body is sore after playing and that keeps you from practising all the time you'd want to? We can work on all of that! Why should you trust me? I got my Licentiate degree with a GPA of 9.46 in Argentina, and I'm also part of Fontys Masters in Music programme, where I received Fontys Scholarship of Musical Excellence. I've also completed 90% of my Licentiate in Composition with a GPA of 9.42, so I know a lot about music theory, analysis, counterpoint, harmony, and form.

Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (USA). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

MUSIC FOR ALL AGES AND LEVELS with a qualified person
Many people are passionate about music, but have they ever studied it in their lives? With this course I offer music theory, transverse and recorder classes for all levels, from the youngest to the oldest. The course can be adapted to each student and their preferences when it comes to learning. From getting to know the history of music a little better, learning to read sheet music, learning more about harmony, analyzing compositions or learning a new instrument. These are some of the options but I am always open to students and their preferences.

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶
The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

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 :)
