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. I look forward to the opportunity to guide you on your musical journey and help you unlock your full potential at the piano!

Hoe leer ik zo snel mogelijk piano spelen? Een vraag die me dagelijks wordt gesteld. Het antwoord is simpel: - Vind een fantastische pianomentor - Oefen met regelmaat - niet lang, maar Efficiënt - Pianospelen is auditief, maar ook visueel - Notenleerlessen zijn overbodig in dit digitaal tijdperk – gebruik de juiste apps Mijn pianoles focust op: - Vingerflexibiliteit / Klavierinzicht / Harmoniebegrip - 50% techniek – 50% fun (hoewel techniek oefenen ook fun kan zijn!) Pianistieke groeten! Alex

I am a piano teacher with over 30 years of experience, passionate about nurturing musical talent at every age and level. I have taught at esteemed institutions such as the Franz Schubert Conservatory in Vienna, and many of my students have gone on to succeed in auditions at top conservatories like the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover. My students have also won national and international competitions including Premio Crescendo (Florence), Prima la Musica (Austria), the Grand Prize Virtuoso (Los Angeles, New York, Vienna, Berlin, Salzburg), and the Brno Mozart International Piano Competition. Over the years, I have developed a unique and effective method for teaching young children, starting from age 3, all the way to university-level students and adult beginners. My approach focuses on developing a strong ear and making learning both joyful and fulfilling. Outside of teaching, I love spending time outdoors with my dogs, reading, playing tennis, and enjoying time with my daughter.

I am a music teacher who has a wide experience in teaching music I have taught in many schools and institutes I teach online music classes for all levels ,for kids and adults. I teach music education in general in addition to piano, guitar, singing

Music is an entire world, just waiting for us to explore it! Whether it be voice, saxophone, oboe, or piano: interpretation, improvisation, music theory, harmony or analysis. There is something here for everyone! Classes are available in English, French, German, or Italian

I have over 12 years of teaching experience and I have been working as a Professional Pianist for 7 years now, in 8 different countries (Switzerland, Austria, Iceland, Spain etc.) and on Luxury Cruise Ships (Worldwide). I can show you how to have fun with the piano. If you're a beginner, I can take you right from step one and have you playing familiar songs by the 1st or 2nd lesson. If you already have some experience, I can add to it. My main goal is helping you achieving your goals and preparing the best lesson for you! I've been playing and studying piano since age 6 (over 25 years ago). I began with classical music, and later added Ragtime, Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock, and Chord theory. I earned a Bachelor Degree in Piano Performance, Classical Music (4 years). I have participated in numerous Piano Masterclasses in Europe and I studied with great pianists. I still learn from different Highly Accomplished Musicians, I believe learning never stops. I have much to share with my students. TEACHING STYLE I am a very patient teacher. I love teaching all ages. I don't teach everyone the same way. I tailor lessons according to individual goals and needs. I insist on the importance of technique and musicality. I also guide all my students even outside of the teaching time, by responding to all their questions (music theory or technical) and sending them videos. I teach how to prevent Piano Injuries by focusing on proper technique, posture, and practice habits. My professional experience includes coaching students of all levels and ages. I successfully prepared the students with their Piano Exams like ABRSM, Trinity Grade, from grade 1-8, with merits and distinctions, and more advanced exams as well (Performance Diplomas). I teach for the Enjoyment of Music as well. I believe you can learn to play the piano at any age. My oldest student is over 75 years old and my youngest one has 3 years old. They made great progress, I am sure you could do the same. I've never met anyone who didn't have musical abilities! You can be a serious or a recreational player. The only requirement is the willingness to spend some time at the piano. I conduct my lessons using a combination of 4 cameras for optimum visibility, and a quality microphone which my students find very helpful. This allows them to see a very clear visual demonstration alongside my verbal explanation. I can confidently say that Online Lessons are the same as In-Person Lessons. CURRICULUM I do not believe one method works for all students. I have used many different lesson books and resources over the years. For beginners I like to use Alfred method books for basics concepts and for Classical and Jazz Piano technique I like to use ABRSM books (grade 1-8). If my student feels that they can learn better from another books, I am glad to adapt my teaching strategies to their needs. Along with the lesson books below, I use a lot of supplemental materials based on the students' interests. I also aim to teach their favorite songs as soon as possible. I like to clearly explain and demonstrate piano technique. In this way, the students are able to apply the information on similar passages from all genres of music. Piano/Keyboard - Alfred , Hal Leonard, Abrsm Grade (1-8), Trinity Grade (1-8), Hanon etc. REVIEWS : Piano Lessons In-Person and Online Morganne a énormément aimé son cours avec vous, Gabriel. Elle a notamment apprécié que vous ayez pu l'aider à améliorer son jeu avec seulement quelques conseils. Elle a trouvé que les exercices de relaxation du poignet ainsi que les conseils pour utiliser davantage les bras l'ont beaucoup aidée à se détendre et à moins ressentir les tensions dans le poignet. Nous serons ravis de poursuivre notre collaboration avec vous dès votre retour d'Australie. Cordialement, Morganne et ses parents.

Bien que la musique soit universelle, les termes de solfège et modes apprentissages diffèrent. C'est pourquoi je propose des leçons particulières de musique et de piano en français destinée aux personnes non-francophones souhaitant découvrir ou même élargir leur connaissance dans la langue de Molière. Chaque début de cours sera abordé par un peu de solfège, la partie généralement moins amusante. Mais à l'aide de méthodes ludiques et amusante ; (mots-croisés, schéma récapitulatif, moyens mnémotechniques...), l'élève aura une facilité à comprendre ces bases musicales. J'adapte ensuite la partie pratique sur les préférences de l'élève (ainsi que son niveau). Il peut apporter ses partitions avec lesquelles nous pouvons travailler.

Actuellement DJ et ayant fait 5 ans de piano, je propose mes service pour des cours de musique particuliers. Composition musicale (par ordinateur) : Je peux enseigner les bases de la composition et mêler mon expérience personnelle au cours pour vous donner des bases solides a votre épanouissement personnel. Piano : Peut enseigner des exercices de coordination, apprendre des morceaux que l'élève a choisi en fonction de son niveau et jouer a une comme a deux mains (bonus pour tout ce qui touche a l'improvisation) DJ : Comme je sais que le monde des DJs est une faune sauvage ou personne ne vous donne de repères, je peux vous guider a travers ce fabuleux univers en vous montrant comment maitriser une platine, ce dont un DJ a besoin, etc...

LESSEN BIJ DE STUDENTENHUIS, BIJ DE LERAREN OF ONLINE Ik ben gediplomeerd pianist en musicoloog en geef al meer dan 20 jaar les in piano en muziektheorie in alle stijlen (klassiek, jazz, filmmuziek, populaire muziek, etc.) aan leerlingen van alle leeftijden en niveaus. Afhankelijk van de wensen komen alle aspecten van de muziek en het pianorepertoire aan bod: partituren lezen, analyseren, op gehoor spelen, improvisatie, ontwikkeling van muzikaliteit, meer technisch werk, samenspel, cultuur en geschiedenis van de pianomuziek, voorbereiding daarop spelen in publiek, weinig bekend repertoire... Ik geef ook muziektheorieles op een leuke en interactieve manier, om reflexen en snel begrip te bevorderen. Wat uw doelstellingen ook zijn (initiatie, voorbereiding op een examen, verbetering van zwakke punten), ik zal u datgene bieden wat het meeste openbare onderwijs u niet kan bieden, zodat u enorme vooruitgang kunt boeken. Het lesgeven is dynamisch, modern en aangepast aan elke student. Het combineert muziektheorie, oorwerk en instrument en is gericht op studenten van alle niveaus, van beginners (of valse beginners) tot meer gevorderde muzikanten. Het niveau en de behoeften worden vanaf de eerste les bepaald. Om vooruitgang, motivatie en vooral plezier te garanderen, maak ik regelmatig de balans op van de prestaties en verwachtingen van mijn studenten. De cursussen en het bijbehorende materiaal worden jaarlijks bijgewerkt op basis van de meest gerenommeerde, gedocumenteerde en moderne methoden (C.-L. Hanon, C. Czerny, J. Brahms, F. Chopin, A. Cortot, M. Jaëll, M. Long, E. Dohnányi, B. Bartók, C. Orff, P. Roskell, J. Siskind, M. Levine, J. Siron, L. Cugny, N. Loriers, Berklee College...). Ze zijn schaalbaar, gepersonaliseerd en passen zich aan de voortgang en behoeften van de student aan. Wat de gekozen oriëntatie ook is, de basisprincipes van het leren van het instrument blijven gemeenschappelijk (handpositie, pianotechniek, basisprincipes van theorie, oorwerk en muzikale gevoeligheid). Ten tweede evolueren de lessen afhankelijk van de voortgang en smaak van de student. Gebruiksvriendelijkheid gegarandeerd! Als het leren van piano een investering vergt (fysiek, mentaal, temporeel, enz.), zal ik altijd mijn best doen zodat je in de beste omstandigheden leert! Het is mogelijk om cursussen aan huis te volgen (Schaarbeek, vlakbij het premetrostation Diamant), bij de student thuis (Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe, Sint-Pieters-Woluwe, Schaarbeek, Sint-Joost, Evere en andere aangrenzende gemeenten, soms in Waals-Brabant) maar ook op afstand (meerdere webcams laten je toe het parcours in optimale omstandigheden te volgen). De frequentie van de lessen is de keuze van de student: elke week (voor snelle vooruitgang), elke twee weken of op verschillende vooraf afgesproken data, afhankelijk van ieders beschikbaarheid. De bepalende factor blijft echter persoonlijk werk thuis, op basis van de instructies die tijdens de cursus worden gegeven. De lessen kunnen in het Frans, Engels en Spaans worden gegeven.

The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing! The class duration: You can choose! 20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old) 30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old) 45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners) 1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory) I use different methods depending on: 1) The goals of my student 2) The language that we will use on class 3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.
