Music theory lessons lessons in Neustadt/Süd

My review is based on two 60 minute online lessons but also on communication outside of the lessons. Mirko comes across as a genuinely nice guy. When messaged, he responds quickly. Last night I had a small question regarding a piece from our lesson, that I wished would be answered prior to our next meeting and he answered in a very timely fashion and to full satisfaction. If you're someone who wants to build a solid foundation, then I think that you don't need to look any further. Like a concrete slab floor that needs hardening prior to further construction, he doesn't rush through material but makes sure that you're ready before the next stage. As I was not a total beginner, Mirko would start at the lowest or near the lowest entry point after I showed him a range of the things that I was familiar with. So a good starting point for me was a simple I-M rest stroke alternation exercice on the first string and he gradually increased the difficulty. He also introduced me to a short piece that I haven't heard before and right now I can play 40% of it and the plan is to play it fully by the next lesson which is a very realistic goal. When it comes to conveying techniques it would be too early to make a comment because as I already had acquired a reasonably good technique, we didn't focus much on it (yet). I will conclude by saying that if you're someone who doesn't like structure and only wants a taste of everything that a guitar has to offer but not really fully digest anything that is presented in front of you, then skip this teacher. I ,for one, am happy that I found Mirko.

Nadège has not only helped me fine-tune my pitch and understand my vocal range but also provided invaluable guidance on breathing techniques and using my body effectively while singing. As a beginner, the most significant transformation has been in my self-awareness about my own voice and its potential. I started last year, and we scheduled classes once a week for several months. Rapidly she became my singing sensei, is basically a vocal wizard in disguise! Her excellent ear, proficiency in playing the piano, and powerful voice made the lessons both enjoyable and instructive. The relaxed, trusting, and fun atmosphere she cultivated during our sessions fostered creativity and promoted relaxation. She values the importance of creating a safe and open space for her students to explore and develop. I also found her concepts and ways of expressing them quite interesting, you can trust you're in the hands of both a perfectionist and an empathetic teacher. She taught me to build a strong connection between my body and singing. One of the key advantages of working with her is her multilingual proficiency. Her ability to communicate in my language allowed us to practice with songs I was familiar with, while she had a deep understanding of the nuances of pronunciation and expression. I can't thank Nadège enough for turning my vocal journey into a fantastic adventure and for the incredible support and guidance she has provided during our time together! :)

Mrs. Denise has demonstrated passion, mastery and, above all, great versatility as a teacher. She has skillfully recaptured the spirit of a Medieval song with imaginative vocal intensity, while discussing in great detail the lyrical content, linguistic nuances, and the historical context of the song, as well as guiding me through the intricacies of the Occitan language with confidence and poise.
