In my teaching studio I am dedicated to sharing my love for creating music and finding the right musical path for each student. I believe that every person should have the opportunity to learn an instrument, learn the language of music, and discover how exciting and FUN it is to play! I accept students of all ages, backgrounds and abilities and work with you/your child's interests and musical desires to design a lesson that fulfills your individual goals and provides you/your child with a balanced musical background.
My teaching career started in Brussels area music academies, teaching solfège (sight-singing) while I was a harp student. I also have an extensive piano background.
