About Me
Born and raised in Nashville, TN, I began my self-taught music journey at 5. Over the years, I was a part-time electrical engineer, part-time professional musician, studio recording musician and a faithful church musician. I graduated from Nashville School of the Arts high school majoring in Trumpet & Electric Guitar. Gracefully, I was raised in a music family where harmonies and sounds of instruments would fill the home every week. My family who was inducted in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame helped pave the way for Gospel, blues, country, rock and jazz music in Nashville, holds two Grammy Awards in Gospel music, and has passed their tradition down to a 4th generation.Later, I pursued my studies in Business and Engineering in France and Switzerland. I quickly noticed the conservatoires’ reliance on an outdated solfège system, which often left students uninspired. I felt compelled to make a difference, leading me to establish a Nashville-inspired music school here, hence the name.
The teaching methods I employ, such as the "Nashville Number System," are unique to the Music City. This system simplifies the entire musical language into one framework, freeing musicians from rigid reliance on sheet music. Instead of staring at paper, we focus on connecting with people and the music itself.
Music is a language that we naturally learn to speak growing up, not a chore. Music theory, ear training, techniques, and rhythm exercises are integrals designed to fast track you to excellence in many styles of music. With great pleasure, I have successfully brought this gift of music to the heart of Europe to share.

Great first lesson 👍
Joshua is an excellent teacher. He is clearly well versed in all things music and provides great instruction. He is friendly, optimistic, patient and kind and therefor has the perfect character and temperament to be teaching. We look forward to many more lessons with Joshua.

My 10 year old son, who no longer wanted to continue the piano after 3 years with a "classical" teacher, seems to have regained his taste for music after the first hour with Joshua. I hope it continues like this! Thanks to Joshua!

It is really not fair to either the instructor or the student to provide an appraisal and rating after only a single class! That being said, they have so far started out quite well. The mutual communication with the teacher is excellent. A good foundation for the lessons is being laid.

Individual or group lessons in classical percussion (keyboard instruments and skins) or drumsWith me, you can work on classic percussion instruments (marimba, vibraphone, snare drum, multi-percussion) as well as drums. We will see how we can combine the two and create links between them. I will try to offer visual and auditory resources so that the person has fun and progresses at the same time. It will be a question of understanding technique and theory as a means serving an artistic and musical end.
Adapted to each person’s level, goals and time.
During this time we will be able to progress on different aspects of the battery
- Rhythms and accompaniment patterns in different genres (Rock, Jazz, Funk, Latin...)
- Independence
- Basics
- The sound
- Tempo and groove
- Musical reading and theory
- Improvisation
When it comes to classical percussion, many aspects are similar, although some differ.
- the work of melodic instruments (marimbam, vibraphone, xylohpone)
- Harmonic and tonal/modal knowledge of these instruments.
- Holds 2 and 4 sticks
- Knowledge of pieces from the percussion repertoire.
- Opportunity to work on adaptations of classic composers.
- Technical and musical work on orchestral instruments

Louana
Piano lessons / music theory Beginners / Intermediate / advanced - AdultsHello,
My name is Louana, I am 30 years old and am currently a piano teacher for students ranging from 4 to 65 years old.
Indeed, I started very young music with first 2 years of rhythm then 5 years of Solfege Jacques-Dalcroze and finally 12 years of piano including 10 at the Conservatory of Music in Geneva. (each year of study being validated by exams & diplomas)
Today I continue to play for fun and give some of my time to teach a few students once a week.
Class sessions are generally 45 minutes to 1 hour as proposed by the Conservatory. I teach with my old scores which allows a gradual evolution step by step. Obviously, I remain attentive to everyone's wishes, but I particularly teach classical music because in my opinion, these are the best bases allowing you to play what you want.
I am obviously at your disposal for any further information or to arrange an interview at your convenience.
Best regards,
Louana

Piano lessons and music theory for all ages, at homeStudent in the second year of a master's degree at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève, I offer piano lessons for all levels.
From beginners to advanced students, I adapt my pedagogy according to the student and his needs, so that he progresses without stress and at his own pace.
I am used to giving lessons to all types of students, and know in particular, thanks to my own experience, to teach students with motor and/or coordination disorders.
Finally, I promise that the piano (and music theory!) will remain a pleasure that retains all its fun, and does not become a chore!

Classic guitarGuitar is one of the most popular instruments around the world. The good knowledge of the guitar is difficult because of the different types of categories.
With this classes you could start learning basic things like the notes and songs or improve and practice the sheet music that you're playing.
I'm qualified teacher and I have been studying in the conservatory for 10 years.

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.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional educationFrom my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons,
cultural studies.
During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant.
My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis).
So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
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 :)
