1-1 Private Music Lessons


Learning to play an instrument yields lifelong benefits and deep satisfaction.  It is a form of deep personal development and self expression.


I maintain a consistent success record as a highly motivating music teacher offering private music lessons based in Hesperange, Luxembourg.

​I provide private piano and violin lessons to students of all ages from age 3 and up providing customized musical education programs leveraging international methodologies.  Each student's "musical journey" incorporates all key elements of a quality musical education (technique, theory, improvisation, and performance) but also incorporates repertoire and technique tailored to the particular appeal of each student.

​
I appreciate the true value that music has been in my life and strive to share this experience with my students to make a musical education interesting, exciting and rewarding.

​Benefits of Learning Music

Picture

​Developing physical coordination and fine motor control -
finger and body movement, posturing, breath control.
  • Integrating mental and physical activity - Combining thinking, knowing and understanding.
  • Being expressive - Outward expression of feelings and emotions.
  • Demonstrating knowledge & understanding - Inner knowledge translated to physical action and expression.
  • Using creativity & imagination - The art of turning creative ideas into reality.
  • ​Building confidence - Performing music (at any age) for an audience of any size has a tremendously positive effect on self-belief and personal inner confidence.
  • Learning to learn -  The relationship between lessons, practicing, progress and achievement is powerful. It helps students to understand the universal equation that "you get back what you put in" and reveals the immense value of persistent personal effort and perseverance.​
  • Connections  - Music is a universal language.  Through music one is able to deeply connect with others of different geographies, cultures, and languages.  Musicians also form a tight, highly creative and motivated community.

What's in a Music Lesson?

Picture
A music lesson incorporates the following elements:
  1. Technique - through exercises, learning correct musical technique including finger dexterity, body movement, posture, and breathing.
  2. Theory (Reading) - learning the fundamentals of how music is structured and how to read musical notation.
  3. Listening, Perception and Improvisation - learning to listen, repeat and create musical patterns.
  4. Performance - learning musical repertoire of various genres
  5. History - learning musical music style and stories through history through "historic showcases".
  6. Duets - playing "in ensemble" with the teacher to enhance the learning experience and repertoire.

Private Music Lessons for Children

Picture
A musical education is a unique, life-enriching experience.  Playing a musical instrument is highly personal, and highly focusing.  It invokes high levels of creativity and artistic curiosity.

I work with students of all ages starting from age 3.  My private music programs align with international standards and best practices (including AB
RSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music UK) and Trinity College London ​standards, curriculum, and examinations. I coordinate ABRSM performance and theory exams from Luxembourg and assist my students in the preparation for these exams.  I also tailor each student's musical learning to their particular interests (i.e. incorporating modern, popular, jazz, and other cultural repertoires).  My objective is to keep the student inspired, interested and to broaden their musical appreciation.

​

My goal is that my students learn to love music and to learn properly from the very beginning.  ​

Private Music Lessons for Adults - It's Never Too Late!

Picture
Follow your interest, follow your passion.  I provide customized music programs for adults. These incorporate standard music elements of proper technique and theory leveraging international standards to build a custom program for the adult student.  In addition to a core learning methodology, my adult student programs incorporate all forms of music to their liking.  In no way is this like "going back to school" (albeit it learning properly), I consider these our "music sessions" and are to be enjoyed.
​

​I strive to make these programs enjoyable and entirely interactive including playing duets and accompaniments with the student to enhance the learning experience.

"Glen is a fantastic teacher and has helped both my children achieve ABRSM certifications (level 1 to 3) in very short time. His teaching techniques for preparation are perfect for achieving these difficult certifications in one shot without stress. We are already onto preparing for the next level!"

"Glen is such an amazing piano teacher! He’s not only super talented and experienced, but also so kind and patient. He really listens to my son, goes at his pace, and makes learning the piano fun. My son always looks forward to his lessons, and it’s amazing to see his progress. We feel so lucky to have found Glen!" 

My two kids (11 and 14) and I are students of Mr Glen for 3.5 years. Our skills on Piano have skyrocketed since we joined him. We have started acing different levels of the very prestigious ABRSM certifications thanks to his hard work with us! Mr Glen is an amazing teacher with ~30 years of experience with several renowned accreditations having achieved some of the highest highs in music playing, teaching and using it as a tool for therapy for special needs students. It reflects in the way he adapts his teaching style to a beginner, intermediate or advanced student. Some of his students are 7 years old while some others are aged 50+.

Mr Glen is detailed oriented in all aspects of teaching piano - with equal focus on notes reading, rhythm, finger practice, music history and theory but most importantly having fun (in making songs your own by adding original creative variations). He guides himself by students interests and is always receptive to teaching popular songs of our choice. His own Piano and violin playing skills are par excellence and we get goosebumps every time he gets on these instruments! Its inspiring to watch him play and understand what "good" actually looks like.

​In general, Mr Glen is a fantastic human being, very welcoming, caring and flexible. We all enjoy his company and at times hearing anecdotes from his colorful past of a life well lived (not everyone gets to play for the Pope, especially when they are a teenager!) and how "life is a negotiation!". We are honored to have a teacher like him and hope to continue stretching the boundaries of our limits with his support! -
