Fun Ear Training Course / Stress-free music theory course

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life. I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University. Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone. I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

Vos mots gentils et vos retours détaillés comptent énormément pour moi et m’encouragent à continuer de partager ma passion pour la musique. - À propos du Commentaire Négatif - Concernant le seul avis négatif : l’étudiant en question a manqué son premier cours en raison d’une grasse matinée. Malgré la politique de la plateforme stipulant qu’aucun remboursement n’est accordé en cas d’absence sans préavis, j’ai proposé de fournir un cours de remplacement gratuit dès ma première disponibilité après la période chargée des fêtes de fin d’année. Malheureusement, l’étudiant a refusé la date que j’avais proposée et a suggéré des jours qui ne faisaient pas partie de mon emploi du temps. J’ai dû suspendre la communication en raison d’autres engagements. À la date initialement proposée — qui n’avait pas été confirmée —, l’étudiant s’attendait à un cours et a par la suite laissé un avis négatif. Par souci de bienveillance, j’ai même remboursé une partie des frais (à l’exception des frais d’inscription non remboursables),. - Mon Engagement et Mes Attentes - Je suis engagée à offrir des cours de haute qualité à un tarif accessible, soutenus par mon expérience professionnelle et l’accès à un piano Yamaha YUS5 neuf. Mon objectif est de rendre la musique accessible à ceux qui l’aiment. En retour, je demande aux étudiants de respecter mon temps et mes efforts en respectant les horaires convenus et les pratiques de communication. Merci pour votre compréhension et votre soutien continu. Ensemble, nous pouvons créer un environnement d’apprentissage et de croissance positif et respectueux. _________ - Thank You to My Students - I want to start by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all my students who have taken the time to leave me thoughtful and positive reviews. Your kind words and detailed feedback truly mean a lot to me and motivate me to continue sharing my passion for music. - Addressing the Negative Comment - Regarding the one negative review: the student in question missed their first class due to oversleeping. Despite the platform's policy of no refunds for no-shows without notice, I offered to provide a free replacement class at my earliest availability following the busy holiday season. Unfortunately, the student declined my proposed date and instead suggested days outside my teaching schedule. After several exchanges, I had to pause communication due to other commitments. On the originally proposed date—which had not been confirmed—the student expected a class and subsequently left a negative review. To show goodwill, I even refunded part of the fees (excluding the non-refundable registration fee). - My Commitment and Expectations - I am dedicated to offering high-quality lessons at an approachable rate, supported by my professional background and access to a brand-new Yamaha YUS5 piano. My goal is to make music accessible to those who love it. In return, I ask that students respect my time and effort by adhering to agreed-upon schedules and communication practices. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Together, we can create a positive and respectful environment for learning and growth.

Hello, I like to transmit and exchange with my students. Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me. My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice. I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory"). I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method. All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

I am a professional lyric soprano graduated from the CNSM of Lyon. I participate in productions with the Concert d'Astrée, the Choir of Namur, Accentus, the Opéra National de Lorraine, Choir de la Chapelle Harmonique. I am also on the lists of the Montpellier Opera, Concert Spirituel, Ensemble Correspondances and Radio France choir. I have just finished a production of Haydn's Die Schöpfung at the Opéra National de Lorraine last January-February, conducted by Marta Gardolinska (Guillaume Fauchère choir director), directed by Kevin Barz. I sang solo and in chorus the role of the Trojan woman in Campra's Idomenée in 2021 at the Lille Opera and the Berlin Staatsoper, staging of the fura dels baus, I also sang the solo of Campra's Requiem at the philharmonies of Luxembourg, Lille, Essen Cologne and Berlin with the Concert d'Astrée in 2019 directed by Emmanuelle Haïm. In 2019, I participated in the production of Les Indes Galantes by Rameau with the Namur Choir at the Opera Bastille, directed by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and directed by Clement Cogitore. In 2022, I participated in numerous productions, notably with the Accentus choir in Beethoven's 9th symphony, the missa solemnis or even a polyphonic baroque project. In 2022 I participated in the production of Hulda by Cesar Franck with the Namur Choir at the Grand Manège de Namur, the Liège Philharmonic and the Théatre des Champs Elysées. My background as well as my skills in lyrical singing allow me to master my instrument well. I am a very curious and very patient person, and I like to find solutions to problems. Transmitting my passion to students wishing to discover or develop their voices, discover their artistic personality would be a great pleasure for me. If I can transmit this joy that I have from singing as well as my acquired knowledge, it would be a great exploration for them as for me.

Graduated from a license in musicology, I am currently pursuing my graduate studies at the conservatory in the scholarly disciplines of composition, analysis, writing, musical arrangement as well as Jazz. I have been playing guitar for many, many years now, as well as piano and flute. I have been teaching guitar, piano, flute and musical education for several years now to children, teenagers and adults. I also have a very good level in music theory, writing (jazz and classical), harmony as well as musical composition. My classes are based on listening as well as the development of the musical ear and musical creativity. I try to transmit my passion for music by making my students discover very varied horizons, from jazz to classical music, including current music and so-called traditional music. I also seek to develop autonomy in my students, an essential quality in order to flourish both musically and in everyday life. This is why I insist on the knowledge of the instrument and the development of creativity through the teaching of applied music theory and the development of the ear. My course is aimed at both beginners and people of an intermediate or advanced level who would like to improve their skills. If you are looking for a teacher who is both an educator and attentive to your personal musicality, do not hesitate to contact me.

Learning music, is directly connected to the cognition system of our mind, and our cognition is the first step to perceiving the music, so it is essential to understand music and perform it. I am proposing classes in Piano, Composition, and Music Theory and writings. In the class of Piano depending on the student's wishes, we work on different methods, from learning music just as an activity to students who wish to continue their profession as a musician. The class of composition has the same algorithm as the piano class, the method selection is based on the student's wishes. Music Theory is proposed in both classes of composition and piano on the side but for the students who wish to learn music theory separately with more concentration, I offer this class as a separate class too. Class of Harmony and Writing actually has the same situation as music theory classes but students in the course of composition will be more specialized in harmony and counterpoint than piano students and of course, this course is proposed as a separate class too.

As a freelance oboist with over 10 years of teaching experience, both privately and in schools, I offer comprehensive oboe lessons. My teaching covers a diverse range of students, spanning from children to adults (including someone as mature as 80 – proving it's never too late to learn!). My students range from beginners to those post-grade 8. I am known for my friendly and enthusiastic teaching approach. My main goal is to ensure that all my pupils take joy in making music while working towards their individual goals, whether that involves pure enjoyment or preparation for music examinations. Additionally, I am skilled in teaching music theory, a valuable asset for enhancing musicianship and a necessity for students aiming to advance through higher music grades. With a Bachelor of Music and a Masters degree from esteemed London music colleges – the Royal College and Royal Academy of Music – my qualifications are rooted in excellence. Since then, I have embraced a performing career as a soloist and have collaborated with orchestras and ensembles worldwide.

After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning. I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc. For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!) Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other! One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it. I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and a distinction in Fashion Communication which included my music playing at Central Saint Martins. I also have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before. The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.

The watchword is pleasure! We will take the time to find our way/voice. From body preparation to singing, vocalizations and breathing exercises, you will progress quickly. We can also see points of music theory and harmony in a little more depth if desired. The course of an hour of lessons: - 15 mins of body and vocal warm-up - 15 mins of rhythmic music theory/melodic music theory/harmony (if desired) - 30 mins of singing on backing track or I can accompany you on piano or guitar. Of course this is only a typical example. Above all, I will listen to you and we will work according to your desires and needs. My area of expertise is more current music (Pop/rock/Soul/French variety) but all styles are welcome! I hope to see you soon ! :)
