Hi, I'm Martine. As a child I really enjoyed solfège - as the only one in the class, I think :) -. Later, harmony aroused my interest. Some people think it is a necessary evil, it makes me warm, and especially then: talk about it. Music is first and foremost a feeling, but a basic knowledge of music theory can help you so much! ---> - 🎹 Do you have trouble reading sheet music? - Do you often get stuck while practicing because you don't know your notes and rhythms enough? - Is that knowledge of music theory really far away? - Don't have time for weekly solfège lessons at the music academy? - Need a little help deciphering a score? - Or do you want to prepare for the new school year? - Do you want to learn chords? - Train your hearing? - Accompany yourself on piano while you sing like crazy? - Would you like to write your own music, but don't know where to start? - Or do you want to learn to improvise but have no knowledge of harmony? - Are you unsure about playing together? - Do you lack self-confidence and freedom as a self-taught or starting musician? - Do you feel limited in your creativity because you lack a theoretical basis? I am happy to help you with: - ✅ Practical note recognition exercises: Short, effective sessions that improve your reading skills. - ✅ Basic understanding of chords: Understand how chords work and how to use them in improvisation. - ✅ Clear explanation of basic harmony: Understand the structure of music and learn to create your own compositions with confidence. - ✅ Techniques for improvisation: Develop methods to spontaneously create melodies and solos. - ✅ Personal guidance, and useful tips for rapid progress: Customized lessons that match your pace and learning style. Experience: I graduated from Studio Herman Teirlinck (Master Kleinkunst), and then studied piano at the Antwerp Jazz Studio. I also attended workshops with Jef Neve, Kenny Werner, Bram Vermeulen, Amina Figarova, among others... In addition to fifteen years of private piano lessons (children & adults), I supervise songwriting workshops for adults & young people (Summer Academy, Zennetour finalists...) and gave I have been teaching piano for many years at the youth music school of the Halewijnstichting (Berchem). My friends think I'm a creative jack-of-all-trades. I like to do many things: making music, writing songs, making theater, composing music & soundscapes for theater, playing piano in different bands, writing, drawing, illustrating, singing... Many styles also appeal to me in the field of music: Classical, jazz, chansons, pop, ... 🎼 Ready to improve your skills? Stop putting your artistic talent second and come to me for personal guidance! For whom? All ages from 6 years, beginners & intermediate level. (Solfège knowledge is allowed, but certainly not necessary.) We use the piano as a basic instrument. A keyboard at home is useful, but not a must. When? From September 2024, by appointment according to availability. You can choose one lesson, a few lessons, or a short intensive course. Where? In Antwerp (Kiel), near the Singel, Tentoonstellingswijk... Send me a message if you need any more information! I look forward to welcoming you here. musical regards, Martine
