I offer music theory lessons for all levels, adapted to the objectives and desires of each student!

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
My approach combines theory and creativity.
We will approach learning notes through a conductor book but also through colors, drawings and songs for a fun and lively memorization. You will also discover the essential signs for reading and writing music: staff, keys, rests, alterations, ornaments and other elements enriching the musical language.
The rhythm will be worked on through a book but also in a physical way thanks to dance, movement, body clapping to naturally integrate the pulse and the tempo.
We will explore ensemble playing, essential for developing listening and musical cohesion with others.
Interpretation and nuances will be addressed by highlighting musical colors and expressiveness in order to bring each piece to life and convey emotions.
You will discover different musical styles and eras, varied instrumental forms and formations in order to enrich your musical culture.
Finally, music theory (tones, chords, intervals, scales, cadences, etc.) will be integrated in a progressive and accessible way.
My goal is to offer you tailor-made learning, so that each student progresses at their own pace while enjoying exploring the richness of Music.

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a mezzo-soprano and professional musician, passionate about self-development through music. Trained at the conservatory of Fontenay-sous-bois, Montreuil and then at the Royal Academy of Music in London, I have had the honor of winning prestigious awards such as the first prize of the International Academy of Music of Flaine, the Est-Ensemble soloist competition, the Elena Gerdhart Lieder Prize, the second prize of the MAP competition as well as the bronze prize of the Virtuoso International Music Awards.

On stage, I have had the opportunity to perform in renowned international venues such as the Society of Authors and Composers of Drama, the Marble Works, the Jardin d'Acclimatation, the Arsenal Theatre, the Church of Saint-Merry, the Regent Hall, the Church of St James, the National Theatre of Pécs... My experience also includes the creation of lyrical shows (Jeu de Dames, the boundaries between shadow and light) and the creation of different musical formations (duo, trio, quartet, quintet).
Alongside my artistic career, I have been teaching singing, cello and music theory since 2018. I have worked in conservatories, private music schools, nursery schools, primary schools and middle schools/high schools. I have led music workshops and participated in projects in Medical Educational Institutes, Specialized Medical Institutes, associations or municipalities for people with disabilities or in precarious situations. I also worked on the DEMOS project.
I had the privilege of working with professors such as Stephanie d'Oustrac, Mireille Delunsch, Vincent le Texier, Françoise Tillard, Joseph Middleton, Christopher White, Peter Robinson, Frédéric Rubay...
In addition, I trained in the Alexander Technique for 4 years with Christine Clicquot de Mentque and took theater classes at the Alain de Bock studio.
With my stage and teaching experience, I am delighted to share my passion and expertise to reveal your musicality!

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
8 years of experience as a teacher. Graduates: Professional degree, DEM singing, CEM cello, DEM music theory
My singing lessons are based on a complete and in-depth approach to vocal technique, emphasizing the connection between the body and the voice. As a professional lyrical singer, I accompany you in the development of a healthy and controlled voice through exercises and knowledge on breathing, posture, support and opening the resonators, essential to release the power as well as the beauty, purity and personality of the voice. My teaching goes beyond technique: From my many experiences on stage, I integrate the work of interpretation and scenic expression, inspired by theater and lyrical art. Together, we will explore how to transmit emotions through the voice and the body, cultivating stage presence and the art of telling a story through music. I adapt to your needs and goals, whether it's singing for fun, preparing for a competition, or improving your confidence on stage. Whether you are a beginner or advanced, my goal is to guide you towards your voice!
Passionate and experienced, I offer cello lessons adapted to all levels and objectives. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, we will cover the fundamental aspects of instrumental technique by working in depth on the left hand (pitch, vibrato, agility) and the right hand (bow control, pressure/speed, nuances, sound quality). I pay particular attention to posture and bodily connection with the instrument, to create a harmonious link between the body and the cello. This work promotes a fluid and expressive playing, where the body becomes an extension of the instrument. Beyond technique, I encourage ensemble musical playing, introducing you to the art of chamber music and active listening, in order to develop your musical sense and refine your interpretation. Each course is personalized according to your desires and the styles you wish to explore. We will travel through different musical eras to enrich your repertoire and your understanding of styles, while giving an important place to emotions and feelings in music. My goal is to give you the tools and the cards to fully express yourself on the cello, whether for pleasure, to prepare for a competition or a competition or to join an ensemble.

Thomas
Music Class, Double Bass, Guitar, Harmony, Arrangement.
I am an eclectic and curious musician, before any contrabassist. I am also a composer and arranger. After a master of sociology I make the decision to train myself professionally; I return simultaneously to the conservatory of Agen in jazz and conservatory of Bordeaux in classical to learn bass. Then, in 2014, I confirm a National Superior Professional Musician Diploma at the Pole Supérieur Paris Boulogne Billancourt through the training at the Didier Lockwood Music Center. I was trained retrospectively by Jean-Paul Macé, Kent Carter, Gilles Naturel, Marc-Michel Lebevillon, Cristian Diaz, Jean Michel Charbonel, Chris Jennings, Cristophe Dal-sasso, and Carine Bonnefoy (for writing). All these people have nourished my love and passion for music, which remains for me a long way to explore in search of new knowledge. It is the diversity of cultures and the wealth of knowledge that drives me to continue to study everything within my reach. I'm interested in jazz, classical music, Indian music, rock and electronic music ... I hate taboos and separations between the musical worlds and I think that everyone wins to share their knowledge and their modes of operation. My way of thinking about learning Music: I prefer to stay on a principle of pleasure and sharing specific to music. I find it important to adapt to feed the motivation of the student, especially for young people with whom it is very important to have a fun approach. Too many students leave demotivated classes of music schools or conservatory; that I practiced for 5 years (since despite my criticisms I still have a prize of jazz conservatory and I followed the training to obtain the DE of jazz which is a diploma of pedagogy). This involves learning the mechanisms based on improvisation, understanding chords, rhythm and melody. Regarding the repertoire I am based on the culture of the students, after all they are the main concerned! So the choices of the pieces depend on the desires and the tastes. The mode of learning depends on the musical style approached, for example I will not make music theory to someone who wants to play the AC / DC (unless he wishes) conversely a person who wants to address jazz can hardly do without notions about harmony. The purpose of this approach is to develop the independence of the student. The teacher is there to accompany the student at the beginning; he must not become a guardian who can sometimes be transformed over the years into a crutch! This is my way of seeing pedagogy!

Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (USA). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Violin Classes for all ages! Learn the songs you like!
I love teaching music to people of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of their musical preferences. As a passionate violinist, I enjoy guiding students from beginners to advanced levels, helping them grow both technically and artistically. My students have achieved great success in music competitions and exams, and they always perform beautifully in concerts. In our violin lessons, we start with foundational elements like scales, progressing through repertoire suited to each student’s skill level. I also incorporate specialized techniques, such as the Tune Day Method, to enhance their playing. Above all, I want my students to enjoy the music they play, so I encourage them to choose pieces they love.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna for all age students and musical styles (Online/Offline)
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I would love to work together to achieve your musical goals. All my best, Denise

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Piano / Music Theory Lessons for All Levels - Recent Graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music
Geneva - Lausanne - Morges Courses in English, French, Italian (native languages) - German (European level B2) As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels. Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG. As a mechanical engineering student at EPFL, I can adapt the lessons in a fun yet rigorous way, to captivate young beginners. At the same time, my background allows me to expand and deepen the pianistic knowledge of advanced pianists. I look forward to sharing my passion with you!
