MUSIC LESSONS

My teaching method places practice before theory.
In academic settings, the reverse approach has always seemed flawed to me. The piano can be understood without theoretical knowledge, simply through a visual approach to the layout of the keyboard. Once this is grasped, theory becomes much easier to understand because it connects to practical and logical knowledge.

We've also seen the emergence of "neo-classical" music, a term that highlights how musical approaches have become significantly simplified. There's a mix of good and bad in this broad genre, but the simplification of music doesn't prevent creativity and emotion.

While trying not to confine myself to a single niche (classical, jazz, etc.), my teaching aims to quickly provide the keys to authentic and personal creativity.

I also teach guitar, but I believe that understanding the layout of a piano keyboard helps guitarists better grasp the logic of their own instrument. My method therefore also opens doors to other forms of musical practice.

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 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.

Activité via l'asbl Productions Associées (Smart)

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.
