About Me

I am a Jazz, soul-pop saxophone player ...and a music teacher!

As a musician for as long as I can remember, I have always been keen to teach others what I have learned.

I am a saxophonist, songwriter, and soul-jazz singer. I have a classical piano training and I play drums too. This allows me to play along with my students and to surround them very early in an inspiring musical atmosphere.

To be beautiful, music must be conceived clearly and simply, whatever the musician's level. It is also quite simply that it must be taught and learned.

Education

Diploma of the academy of music theory and classical piano
I studied at the Brussels Conservatory with Steven Houben, and with Erwin Vann in the Dutch-speaking section. Private lessons with Kurt Van Herck.
Some lessons with Chris Potter in New York in 1999.

Experience / Qualifications

I've been teaching in private schools and at home since 1993!

Here's a tiny professional bio of myself ;-)

LAURENT is a saxophone player, a singer-songwriter from Brussels,
mainly in the Soul Jazz idiom. Self-taught musician at first, he also learned with the best musicians around, from Brussels to New-York. For about 20 years, he’s been successfully directing his own projects, featuring the most soulful jazz musicians of Belgium and abroad. He played a major role in the great bands of Daniel Romeo and Marc Lelangue.
The free-lance part of his career let him play with names such as Fred Wesley, Boney M, George Mc Crae, Percy Sledge, and on a very special evening with James Brown.

Reviews (7)

Joseph
Piano Lessons in Brussels for All Levels and Genres (age 6+)
Have you always wanted to try playing the piano, but never found the time? Maybe you have played in the past but are looking for new input? Looking for a music teacher that is friendly, experienced, down to earth, and competent in all genres, from classical and jazz music to rock and pop? My name is Joseph, I'm 28 years old and live in Brussels. I am offering individual, or duo, piano lessons (or music theory, harmony, combo, etc). I have a master degree in classical music and one in jazz, and 10 years experience playing live music, recording, and teaching. I have taught pupils of all ages and levels. I am a firm believer that a teacher must adapt his method and approach to every new student.

Umberto
Drum lessons in English and Italian, all levels welcome!
Hi everybody! I am Umberto, Italian professional drummer based in Brussel. I have a Bachelor in Jazz Drums and I have just achieved my Master in Jazz Drums at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel. I have 8 years of experience in music teaching, both private and in schools. I would like to teach drums and share with you this musical world. About the lessons, my method really changes according to the needs of the student. It's very important for me to know a student and what he/she wants to achieve in order to create a specific program that suits him/her. All levels are welcome: from the beginner to the more advanced, I am open to give lessons to everyone who wants to explore the drums and the beauty of music. I am ready to work on all aspects of the drums: techniques, rudiments, grooves, fills, timing, musicianship. As a drummer I have a lot of experience in many different music genres, both teaching and playing: from jazz to funk, from rock to pop, and also folk music in case you want to have a more percussive approach. Last but not least, my idea as a teacher is to create a friendly enviroment: having fun is the most important thing in order to learn in a natural and effective way! I am available to give lessons at my place. I have a rehearsal room with 2 drumsets, one for the student and one for me, so to show clearly and immediatly all the concepts. I have a PA system as well, so to be able to playalong with music. I can also come to the house of the student, but that would be a secondary option. For this last option, I will charge some extras for travel cost and time spent. I don't have a car, so I will travel by public transport :)

Paula

Lena
Creative singing lessons for all age groups in Vienna and the surrounding area
As a passionate singer, I accompany you on your vocal journey with heart and expertise. In my lovingly designed lessons, we combine breathing techniques, speech training, singing and movement into a harmonious unit. I respond to YOUR needs. In my singing lessons, you and your individual needs are the focus. Together we design each lesson to suit you perfectly. We begin with gentle warm-up exercises to prepare your body and voice. We place particular emphasis on loosening the jaw and relaxing the entire body. For children, I integrate playful movements that make the lessons lively and varied. We then work on breathing techniques and support to make your voice sound powerful and free. As the lessons progress, we discover the unique sound of your voice together and apply what we have learned to songs of your choice. With children, I pay particular attention to their wishes and favorite songs to encourage the joy of singing.

Cello and baroque cello classes, musical theory classes
For anyone willing to immerse themselves in the fantastic world of music and also "early music", the music wrote between the XVII and XVIII centuries. I offer dynamic lessons for all ages, from music theory to an instrument, the cello. For the most curious, the baroque cello and early music can become a huge passion.

Laura
Cello lessons for everyone! Learn how to play cello or improve your musical skills!
Hi, I'm Laura, I'm a cellist and I love to share my musical knowledge with other people. I have experience with students of all ages and I believe that there is no right age to start learning to play an instrument. I adapt my lessons to the objectives and tastes of each student. We can learn classical music, but also other styles such as pop. I also offer lessons focused on music theory if that is what you are looking for! If you want to learn to play the cello or improve your skills do not hesitate to write me!

Daniel
Piano / Music Theory Lessons for All Levels - Recent Graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music
Geneva - Lausanne - Morges Courses in English, French, Italian (native languages) - German (European level B2) As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels. Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG. As a mechanical engineering student at EPFL, I can adapt the lessons in a fun yet rigorous way, to captivate young beginners. At the same time, my background allows me to expand and deepen the pianistic knowledge of advanced pianists. I look forward to sharing my passion with you!
