    A professional harpist with a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Harp offers both in - person and online lessons for all skill levels.

    First and foremost, at the beginning of each journey, I highly value getting to know and listen to the student's needs and the objectives they aim to achieve. This way, I can establish a teaching method tailored to each individual right from the start.

    Throughout the lessons, I focus on both refining the instrument's technique (especially if the student is a beginner, initially dedicating a significant amount of time and energy to understand which technique suits their hand and subjectivity best) and enhancing musical expressiveness, ease in performance, and addressing the specific needs that vary from student to student.
    I also consider it extremely important to work on a classical repertoire while simultaneously discovering the student's musical preferences. I am very open to accommodating the student's requests while highlighting prominent composers and pieces within the repertoire.
    Central to my teaching approach is the student - teacher dialogue during the lesson, which I believe is crucial for an effective, serene, and formative learning experience.

    Moreover, I offer lessons aimed at preparing the student for a potential competition, conservatory audition, or orchestra performance.

    Medieval, folk and Celtic harp lessons
    "I still remember the first time I heard the sounds of a harp, when I was 8, my grandparents took me to a concert in the little church in Gosselies. To pinch the strings, I was kidnapped by the magic sound that came from the heart of the woods.The longer the concert went on, the closer I got to the harp ... After harassing my parents for a year, I started To study this magnificent instrument, it immediately became a sacred object for me, and thanks to him, I could communicate my feelings, laugh, relax and find the desired balance. " My courses are based on the Irish teaching method so first of all to the ear, on the resources that the student has in himself and on the fact that one learns while having fun. I propose a harp lesson: - Medieval dedicated to teenagers and adults for false beginner and intermediate based on medieval music and rebirth, improvisation, arrangement of melodies, ... - Celtic for all ages from 14 to 70 years, beginner level, false beginner, intermediate and intermediate / advanced based on Celtic repertoire and Irish, Scottish and Breton techniques After a few lessons, the neo-harpists will play short and simple melodies until the end of the journey to play more complete melodies that provide accompaniment and use of both hands. Lessons are defined on the learning needs of individual students. Even if I use the Irish teaching method, I will provide the basis for reading the pentagram, for the integration of rhythm, the foundations of harmony so that the student can read a piece of music independently. I live in Italy, so I come back to Belgium about once a month for face-to-face lessons (duration of face-to-face lesson: 90 minutes). Next dates for face-to-face courses in Belgium: Friday July 5 morning, Monday July 8 afternoon, Monday July 15 afternoon. For Skype lessons (3-4x per month, lesson duration 60 minutes) see typical week. Do not hesitate to write to me.
