I have a long experience of piano teaching, and many of my former pupils are now professional musicians. There is a section on my teaching, my concerts, and my conducting, and a video of giving lectures in English and French. I prefer to give piano lessons in English as I use the English system of notation.

Ruben
Violin lessons (for beginners or intermediate level)
Graduated from the Regional Conservatory of Greater Besançon (France), I followed a very varied theoretical and practical training in Conservatory for 15 years. I propose a course related to the practice of the violin, but am able within the framework of the teaching to pass if necessary by more theoretical courses of music theory or history of music to reinforce the knowledge allowing a better musicality. I am very serious in my work and wish to give the most complete and advanced learning that adapts to the needs of each student. I also want to work in a mutual trust because I believe that learning music is better when it values ​​the skills of each.

- Do you want to start playing music but have little to no knowledge? - Are you struggling with the theoretical aspect of you music lessons? - Would you like to receive personalised help from a passionate young musician? Often considered a tiresome burden, music theory is to music what grammar is to language. It is a tool, a code that allows us to understand how our language works. Whether you're using words or notes, it's the same! This is why it is important to learn music theory pragmatically, keeping in mind that it is here to help us understand different musical languages, not at all to impose strict rules.

Currently a 3rd year student in Sound at INSAS, I studied musicology at ULB, and I practice music on a daily basis, whether as a pianist (improvisation, composition, learning jazz and classical pieces) or as a sound engineer and beatmaker. Some information about my musical background: - currently in my last year of piano studies (academy of Etterbeek) - member of the jazz ensemble of the Forest academy (2nd year) - regular concerts and composition in MAO (computer assisted music) for 7 years (mainly hip-hop) - 7 years of private drum lessons + Brazilian percussion lessons (batucada) - completed musical training (Etterbeek Academy, 4 years) - 3 years of music writing and analysis courses in academy - solo DJ as well as for a hip-hop group - recording and mixing as a sound engineer as part of my studies and outside: music, cinema, sound creation, etc The course: Depending on your wishes and / or needs, we can orient the course towards different facets of music theory. Whether it's harmony, rhythm, analysis or sight-reading; whether your objective is knowledge, composition, improvisation or the practice of an instrument, I can adapt to you! The first lesson is usually dedicated to assessing the student's level of knowledge and skills, and to establish together a draft programme for the following lessons. The idea is to progress at your own pace, in a good mood! This course is mainly intended for people starting out in music. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns, I'llbe happy to answer you!
