    About Me

    Hi! I'm Ralf, a 25 year-old guy from the Netherlands. I've been playing piano since I was 6 years old and took lessons until I was 14. After that, I started composing my own songs and started playing in bands. This year I released a piano album called 'Cycle of Dreams'. You can look it up if you want to hear some examples of me playing :D

    As a school teacher and tutor, I love teaching people new skills. I approach teaching with a lot of patience, an open mind and creativity. My favourite part of teaching is seeing people being happy when they succeed. This gives both me and the student energy, which improves the whole learning experience!

    I'm also an avid traveler. The last 1.5 years I've traveled all over the world; Japan, Canada, US and many place across Europe. So I've seen a lot of places and experienced many different cultures.

    Classical guitar and music theory lessons by a qualified teacher from the Conservatory
    Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses. Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels). My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing. Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique. The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible. I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar. Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality. References on request Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons. Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

    Harples and solfège lessons for each level. By an enthusiastic harpist. Student at the conservatory with experience in teaching.
    I am currently a student at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. I'm in my third bachelor's degree. I have been taking harp lessons for 13 years with various renowned teachers such as Eline Groslot and Annie Lavoisier. During this period I also gained a lot of experience as a concert harpist. Including the second prize in the Concours Français de la Harpe (2017). And for 3 years I also give private lessons in harp and solfège. These lessons focus on both (young) children who want to learn harp and adults who want to start using harp. Each student is guided at his own pace and the lessons are adapted to the wishes of each student. Note learning lessons are also adjusted as much as possible to the student's pace.
