Private lessons of saxophone / Private lessons of saxophone

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello everyone!
I have been a saxophonist for over 20 years, mainly on alto saxophone but also soprano, tenor and baritone. My learning shared between classical or more contemporary music (jazz, blues, pop...) and my experience of ensemble music (Ensemble Harmonique de Bellegarde, Musique Municipale de Plan-les-Ouates, African Swallows Big Band, EPFL Big Band) give me a wide range of skills to share, in various musical styles, alone or in a group.
I offer home classes for children and adults, from beginner to advanced, a la carte or sessions of several courses.
Thank you for reading me and maybe see you soon!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Playing saxophone for over 15 years in various formations, I want to share my experience and discover this beautiful instrument, within the reach of all :)
My courses take place in 2 to 3 parts, adapted each according to the level of the pupil:

(For beginners: discovery of the instrument, fingerings, solfège if necessary).

1) Sound work (breath work, attack, sound breaks, ranges and intervals).

2) Technique of play (reading, work of the rhythm with the voice then with the instrument, alterations and accents).

3) (For intermediate and advanced) Interpretation.

The duration of the courses varies according to the level of the student and the availability of each one. In addition, the rental of a saxophone becomes necessary soon enough to progress effectively, so I can guide you if necessary for any acquisition of equipment;)

Education

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I started my learning of alto saxophone at the age of 8 in a classical way, in a music school with a music theory course in parallel, then I directed some years later on jazz, blues, even a little bit of contemporary music. So I had a varied education in terms of musical styles, which is particularly useful today.

Experience / Qualifications

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
The versatility of my saxophone training and my participation as a director, musician or simple reinforcement over the past 15 years has given me a great experience in the world of music, on an individual scale to the orchestra of more than a hundred musicians, as well as saxophone teaching at all levels.

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Jazz singing from Haute Ecole de Musique (HEMU) Lausanne where I am currently studying a Masters in Jazz Pedagogy.

Violin lessons for all Fr / Ang (solfeggio included).
As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship. As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years. Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument! I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra. In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

Louana
Private Piano and Solfege lessons for Beginners / Intermediates - Children / Teenagers
Hello, My name is Louana, I am 30 years old and am currently a piano teacher for students ranging from 3 to 65 years old. Indeed, I started very young music with first 2 years of rhythm then 5 years of Solfege Jacques-Dalcroze and finally 12 years of piano including 10 at the Conservatory of Music in Geneva. (each year of study being validated by exams & diplomas) Today I continue to play for fun and give some of my time to teach a few students once a week. Class sessions are generally 45 minutes to 1 hour as proposed by the Conservatory. I teach with my old scores which allows a gradual evolution step by step. Obviously, I remain attentive to everyone's wishes, but I particularly teach classical music because in my opinion, these are the best bases allowing you to play what you want. I am obviously at your disposal for any further information or to arrange an interview at your convenience. Best regards, Louana

Florent
Pianist graduated from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève gives piano lessons, music theory for all ages and levels
My piano lessons are aimed at beginners as well as more experienced students. We will start by defining together what your objectives are in order to find a learning pace that suits you. I offer a global approach to the piano combining technique, interpretation of pieces of varied styles and improvisation/music theory. A course is generally structured as follows: 1. 5 to 10 minutes of technical work. The development of effective gestures is essential in order to fully express one's musical potential. I offer progressive exercises allowing you to acquire the basics of piano technique (finger independence, velocity, hand coordination, arm mobility, posture, etc.). For young students, this work takes the form of keyboard games. Just like a sport, playing an instrument is a challenge for the body: I ensure that the student adopts a good posture on the instrument, in order to play with control and to avoid tension and injuries linked to an inattentive practice. 2. Interpretation. I propose strategies for structuring the learning of a piece, in order to optimize the time spent working on the piano and to make the student autonomous in their practice. My training at the conservatory allows me to introduce you to the styles of different eras of classical music, from baroque to the present day. I am also open to other musical universes, and the choice of pieces is primarily based on your tastes and desires. For the youngest students, I offer a suitable repertoire (arrangements of classical pieces, film music, video games, anime, songs), as well as simplified scores for a gradual introduction to reading. In order to cultivate motivation, it is important that students play music that speaks to them and that they are not discouraged by music theory. 3. Improvisation and music theory. For students who are beginners or have never done music theory, I teach the necessary theoretical bases (orientating themselves on the keyboard, reading a score, rhythm, listening), often in the form of improvisation games. In addition to developing a personal connection with the instrument, improvisation also allows you to assimilate notions of harmony/counterpoint (scales, intervals, chords) through practice, and to understand little by little how music is constructed. To make the link with the repertoire being worked on in class, I often suggest taking an element of a piece as a starting point for improvising. Of course, nothing obliges us to follow a particular plan, and if you come with a particular desire or a specific objective, I will try to meet your expectations as best as possible. I look forward to reading you, and sharing some beautiful moments of music together.
