About Me

My studio is Malena's Music & More, offering music lessons, homeschool classes, and life enrichment!
I am a strong believer that everyone CAN and should have the chance to learn and grow, and that music adds enjoyment, satisfaction, and pleasure to people's lives.
Having a good rapport with students and families is of utmost importance.
I tailor all lessons to student's abilities, knowledge, interests, and preferences, while integrating music theory, and technique.
I offer several types of lessons online or in my studio in southern Maine, including piano, voice, trumpet, and flute. I have 2 other music teachers working with me, offering guitar, bass guitar, ukulele, and violin.
I allow for students to declare a specialty, including but not limited to: classical, pop, musical theater, composition, improvisation, performance, and graded exams.

Mary
Instrumental Teacher ( Piano, Guitar, Bass & Ukulele)
Welcome to the music class! Here, we are gonna discover the wonders of learning an instrument. From reading note letters, implementing a proper form to sight reading a piece, we are gonna learn in our own pace. If you're just learning music now and it feels like there's a lot to understand, don't worry we're gonna start from the basics. I will help you understand music and its elements. With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

Nadia
music theory is not always boring, it can be easy and fun too!
Music theory is not as complicated as everyone thinks. It can be easy too. Not only that, it doesnt have to be dreadful and boring because it can super fun by implementing games! - Having music theory as your basic foundation will help you a lot when wanting to start a new instrument

Román García
Composition and Music Theory Classes Adapted to All Levels
I offer private lessons in composition and music theory for students of all levels. With an advanced degree in composition and a solid background in music theory, my classes are designed to develop your creativity and musical understanding. During my studies, I have taken courses in music teaching, which allows me to tailor lessons to your specific needs. As a composer, I am interested in fostering the creative side of the performer, helping you find your own style while mastering essential harmony, structure and compositional techniques. Whether you want to create your own works or hone your theoretical knowledge, I offer a personalized and creative approach to achieve your musical goals.

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

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

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 :)
