    Piano Lessons - Inspiring musicians of all ages and levels

    Hello! I'm Afonso, a passionate piano teacher from Portugal with a bit more than 7 years of experience helping students of all ages and skill levels achieve their musical goals. I hold a bachelor degree in piano performance (Royal Conservatory of Brussels) and my mission is to create a positive, personalized learning environment where each student can thrive.

    I believe that learning piano should be both fun and enriching. My teaching approach blends technical skill, music theory, and creative expression, ensuring that students not only improve their playing but also develop a deep love and appreciation for music. Whether you're just starting out or looking to advance your piano skills, I tailor each lesson to your unique goals and pace.

    Over the years, I have successfully prepared students for recitals, exams, and personal achievements, always focusing on their individual growth. My goal is to inspire confidence, cultivate talent, and make each lesson a rewarding experience that builds both skill and passion.

    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.

    Regular piano lessons too difficult? Then try piano lessons with me!
    In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard. Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano. At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable? We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now. During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

    CONDUCTING, MUSICAL THEORY & SCORE READING // LEARN HOW TO LEAD YOUR ENSEMBLE !
    Conductor specialized in All Types of Ensembles. I’ll help you connect with the sound, refine your technique and understand the rolo of each instrument and its characteristics. Together, we’ll explore the unique qualities of every instrument. If you're a beginner seeking a theoretical approach to reading music, interested in delving into music theory, or looking for tools to lead your own ensemble, we’ll find the teaching style that best suits your needs. About Me: I’ve studied across Europe—in Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium—learning from renowned soloists from the Berliner Philharmonic and the Belgian National Orchestra, among others. I hold two Master’s degrees in Viola and Orchestral Conducting. Now based in Antwerp, I work actively as a violist and conductor.

    Violin or viola private lessons for children or adults
    I am a professional viola player from Estonia, currently living in Antwerpen. I have studied in multiple conservatories in Europe and have been a member of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra. I enjoy working with children and I have experience teaching toddlers violin from the age of 3. Of course at that age it's more about the discovery of the sound and rhythm in our bodies in general 😊 I have also taught adults and I must say that some of my best conversations and connections have been made through teaching music to grown ups who want to learn something for themselves. I have had total beginners as well as adults who once studied at a music school and had quit for various reasons. If you are already a student who just needs some support in technique/general music ideas, then I'm also very happy to help. I have been guided by many kind and knowledgeable teachers and I would love to share what I've learned over the years. I work in English(or maybe very broken Italian 🥲, since I studied there for 2 years). So if you are someone who needs help with violin/viola, then please feel free to contact me.

    Guitar lessons for all levels: Jazz, Rock, Blues, Rnb, Hip hop, etc!
    If you want to get better at playing the guitar and music in general, this class is for you. Over the years of playing and studying music with guitar as my main instrument, I have amassed a great deal of knowledge, skill, information, etc. which I would like to share with all the seekers. There are endless subjects to be discussed when it comes to music and guitar. And, since everyone is different and is aiming at a different goal, I do not use a "one size fits all" approach with these lessons. However, a number of topics could be touched upon and thoroughly studied. Some of the standard topics that I could cover in the lesson are as follows: 1. Chords, voicing, etc. 2. Playing tunes 3. Improvisation 4. Arrangement 5. Transcription 6. Harmony analysis 7. Technique 8. Arpeggios 9. Ear training 10. listening 11. Playing in a group 12. Recording guitar And more...
