Solfege and Music Theory Classes for Beginners and more
In this lesson, music knowledge is not a pre-requisite. Here, you will discover music theory and solfege, alongside general music - the understanding of the history and significance of music to humanity.
Students have the option of standard British/ American theory (classic/jazz) or French theory/Ecriture system. From note reading to harmonization, graded syllabus (E.g ABRSM) or just to explore, lessons will be specially catered to your needs. Being able to analyze what you see will definitely greatly improve your own instrument's progress!
Solfege, or solfeggio training is a specialized aural training. It can be taught in either fixed or movable do to train for strong relative pitch and rhythm stability, allowing students to 'hear' the music just by looking at the notes. This is especially useful for mastering sight-reading, transcribing and playing by ear! Adding on, the ability to analyze by ear will open your world to the music you may have not noticed before.

Music is part of our lives, so why not take a dive into learning and understanding it?
I am offering Cello and Theory lessons in English, Mandarin or French. Students can choose either or, but basic music theory will be taught as part of practical lessons to progress with music reading.
Be it leisure or exam focused, the lessons will be customized for each student. The lessons are progressively paced with a good mix of theoretical and technical studies, followed by expressions and musicality. Music knowledge is definitely not a requisite to begin.
Students will also have access to my music database with over 1000 scores, and arrangements can be made for your level.
Music theory lessons will be based on either the standard British / American theory or the French theory/ecriture system. Here, you will learn how to better read and understand music concepts and its rules, and even eventually write your own works!

Private lessons in piano and music theory for beginners and intermediatesBeing a graduate of the Conservatory, I acquired a very rigorous apprenticeship in music. Today, private lessons allow me to share my knowledge and pass it on. Music is learning, but it's also a pleasure.
For an optimal learning, I adapt as much as possible to the capacities of the pupil in order to be able to make him progress as well as possible, and that he thus learns the music and allow him to like to play and to make music.
Private lessons in piano and music theory require step-by-step learning, with regular work, which I take the time to do during the course, and which in this sense will have to be continued on the other days of the week, for a real evolution, for a beginner as for someone who has a good basis.

Private music theory lessons by professional singer qualified in music theory and pianoI introduce myself:
Classical singer, professional soloist, good level pianist,
graduated from conservatories
- from Toulouse: 1st prize for singing / 2nd prize for music theory and sight reading
- from Paris (CNSM) Certificates of musical and vocal culture and piano - singers
On the sidelines, then after a career as a lyrical artist in Paris (Opéra Comique/Théâtre Mogador/Espace Cardin, in the RTLN theaters (including Capitole de Toulouse) and abroad (Switzerland/Belgium/Mauritius) I I have been focused on teaching (singing, beginner piano, music theory) for around 25 years.
Experience with children / adults, amateurs / professionals, singers / instrumentalists
I teach traditional music theory which differs from FM (Musical Training), I briefly explain here the differences, the interest and the advantages.
It is based on tonal music, the progressive study of tones and not intervals outside tonal context.
It recommends the separate acquisition of its various components: rhythm, reading notes, intonation
it results in these well-integrated bases, sung sight reading and written dictation
Why work on music theory as a subject in its own right?
Because, in a course "piano / violin / vocals / clarinet ... + music theory", and as I myself have experienced, the pupil and the teacher, accomplices, always favor the instrument and the learning music theory is done in homeopathic doses. The study of the instrument is nevertheless also slowed down because of the multiple interruptions caused by ignorance of music theory.
I am not suggesting that you "get rid" of music theory because its study, contrary to its reputation, is very interesting. But to diversify the difficulties that you encounter: those relating to the instrumental technique and those due to music theory.
I accompany you on the piano and introduce you to the keyboard. A mini-keyboard allows you to work on your intonation at home also following my instructions.
If the level allows it, I also do instrumental and vocal music theory: music theory applied to the study of your pieces, analyzed, deciphered and accompanied on the piano.
Levels: for more precision, up to level "medium 2"
I recommend a weekly frequency (except possibly school holidays), essential for the effectiveness of the course, as well as a minimum personal work at home.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
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 :)

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

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students.
Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶
My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀
The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩
For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻🏫
Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥
The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️
Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

Piano / Music Theory Lessons for All Levels - Recent Graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of MusicGeneva - 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!

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).
Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:
-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used

-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.
Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.
THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
