MUSIC LESSONS

"My connection to music started in a rather strange way. While I genuinely enjoyed playing and practicing, I also felt it was my way of escaping a reality I didn’t like. In my most private dreams, I imagined recognition and glory, as if they would avenge my stifled sensitivity. Nowadays, the figure of the 'famous' artist has become embedded in society, giving a false idea of what art really is. Moreover, the democratization of recording tools and the global communication opened up by the internet has flooded the cultural sector. There isn’t necessarily too much mediocre or bad culture — one could even say there’s too much 'good' culture. In all this strangeness, it’s hard to position oneself as an artist who 'wants to succeed'."

5 types of teaching to choose, combine, or mix

Option 1

Accompaniment piano

Without music theory. A good introduction to classical or jazz music, focusing on understanding the keyboard through logical harmonic relationships (visual approach to the keyboard), without relying on written music. The lessons are based on a method I’ve written, an excerpt of which you’ll find here. This method serves as a foundation for both the lessons and your personal development. Despite the absence of traditional theory, it is already possible to create your own small compositions using this knowledge.

Option 2
Classical piano

Learning music theory and sight-reading through pieces known as "neo-classical" — simpler and more minimalist than traditional classical works. Composers include Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, Michael Nyman, Ólafur Arnalds, Joep Beving, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Dustin O’Halloran, and others.

Option 3

Accompaniment guitar

Even though this teaching allows for playing solo guitar pieces, the main goal is to accompany another instrument, often a voice.

Option 4

Singing instrumentalist

A mix of voice and an instrument (guitar or piano) to sing your favorite songs or your own compositions.

Option 5

Songwriting

Songwriting: lyrics/melody, voice/accompaniment, or even compositions for solo instrument.

A lesson lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour because sometimes, after 45 minutes, everything has been covered, allowing for solo work at home. However, if it's necessary to add more, the lesson can extend up to 1 hour. In any case, we take the time to pause and reflect.

The lesson can take place by video call

Activité via l'asbl Productions Associées (Smart)

I wrote a method for learning music through the logical and visual aspect of the keyboard. It's not yet translated in english but now with the new tools available, it will be done easily if necessary.
