Explore yourself by improvising or composing (no instrument requirement)

Improvising is a good way to find peace in yourself, at the same time a great way to let out your emotions. There is no form in music. In that way, there is no need if you know how to play an instrument or not. You just have to know how to make sound, for example singing, clapping, or tapping on a bow. We will explore sound together, and let it become your language.

Composition in another way is very much connected to improvisation. Music theory is provided if you need it. We can either compose on the music sheet or on the software. We will find out exactly what you need help with!

Extra information

Any type of instrumentist or non-instrument player is welcome. You can also share the class with up to 2 other people.

About Me

Hei! I am Wei from Taiwan, currently working as a pianist, cellist, film composer, and tutor in Oslo. Well, education has been a huge passion of mine, even though I very much enjoy performing on stage, it still excites me. I've started tutoring since I was 19, so I guess that it has been 8 years since then. The age of my students is from 5 to 70 years old. So never feel that you are too young or old to learn an instrument.

Music has taught me to handle pressure, facing my own emotions, and finding peace in myself. Therefore, there is a part of me eager to share my experience and knowledge with people.

I love children, and I will see myself as a patient, easy-going and interesting person. My goal is to create a safe, relaxing place for you to learn and explore.

Cello (classical, pop, jazz), Music Theory and Ear Training

✅COACHING / MANAGEMENT CONSULTING / COMMUNICATION WITHIN MARITAL / COUPLE & FAMILY RELATIONS
In our imagination, nourished by our education and our conditioning, we all believed one day that once married, having founded our family, we will realize our dream. Before taking the leap, we all idealize this life, and the stronger our hope, the stronger the awakening to the reality of life would probably be. Indeed, family life is another experience, a challenge and a process during which we learn a lot about ourselves, about the other and about the relationship. By choosing the right mediator, family and married life can therefore be a great opportunity to grow (sometimes in pain, in joy). Among the possible accompaniments, some examples: - The basics of a solid and fulfilled married or family life - How to resolve disagreements - The secrets of a balanced and balancing child education - Learn to express emotions - Manage families and in-laws - How to take your place within the couple - Define the respective roles of each Among the techniques used: - Non-violent communication tools - The “helping relationship” which aims to support people in crisis or conflict situations and help them resolve dysfunctions (emotional, relational difficulties, repetition of scenarios, lack of self-confidence, etc.) . It also leads to better self-knowledge and guides the person to discover their own solutions. The practitioner in helping relationship through his attentive and neutral listening, his training, his personality, his presence, his availability will allow the consultant to progress towards a better knowledge of his psychological mechanisms, respecting his blockages, his rhythm and his ability to hear. The therapist takes into account the subject as a whole: physical, psychological and social. Allow the consultant to access autonomy so that he can, when he feels ready, walk alone, in all inner serenity. - Coaching that allows you to act and take responsibility, which is the basis of effective and lasting change. Work on the management of emotions and relationships, confidence and self-esteem, self-affirmation is at the center of individual support, which allows you to live more fulfilled and authentic relationships. - Love coaching, which is personalized support based on understanding the mechanisms of love and focusing on putting an individual in this disposition of openness and acceptance of the other and their difference (which prepares to receive love) and to transfer keys of understanding to gain emotional maturity. It allows you to obtain concrete and measurable results in your love life. Through coaching, the consultant becomes aware of his resources, optimizes his potential and transforms his life. - Brief marital and family therapy. She is interested in how the problems manifest themselves in the present but the personal history of each is also approached. This insight helps to better understand the events experienced and to make connections between the past and what is at stake in the current difficulties. We introduce changes in behavior to open up perspectives, mainly relational. - Sophrology. Sophrology is a gentle method that promotes relaxation of the body and mind where you relearn how to listen to your feelings using controlled breathing exercises, muscle relaxation and mental suggestions. It allows you to develop your potential, regain self-confidence, manage your emotions and achieve your goals. It will be, at times, interesting to use this technique to manage to unblock the mind that is blocking and to give the body more amplitude to welcome what presents itself. ➤ THE COACH PSYCHOANALYST PSYCHOPRACTITIONER Trained at the Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League University in the United States, our psychoanalyst, psycho-practitioner and behaviorist coach has specialized and worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, regularly speaking in forums and conferences, and also offering personalized INDIVIDUAL support. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon.

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.

Healing and maintaining your inner self: Mindfulness and self improvement
Our wellbeing matters. Well being, mind-body fitness, relaxation, serenity. The ability to be fully aware, present in how we are feeling, and to be at peace with ones own self is crucial. Mindfulness enables a centred being, constant growth and improvement within ourselves. It's a lot easier said than done, it requires time, patience, and the willingness to want to self develop. When you are looking after yourself are you taking into consideration physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual practice? In my sessions we will be touching on all individual aspects, aimed techniques, activities that will strengthen your mind, your muscular ability alongside your overall health and inner self development as the main outcome. I cater to all despite your individual physical stage you may be in or feel you are at in your self development; from beginners, if you are less able to move, not as connected with your inner self, to those that require more intermediate and advanced sessions, or are seeking balanced practices. Whatever the stage, come as you are prepared or not but what's important is knowing when you sign up for sessions, the outcome is only possible when you are ready or willing to pour time and energy into yourself. This is a pleasing journey, a process filled with calmness and tranquillity. ©
