About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am a voice and piano teacher and singer-songwriter. I've been making music since I was 5 years old. I started with classical piano, then pop and jazz. My second instrument was singing, at first classical, then pop and jazz. I have a bachelor's degree in pop/jazz singing at the University of Montreal. So, during my lessons, I often accompany on the piano. I think this is a big advantage. I am ideal for future pianist(s)/singer(s), to improve their talents on both instruments, also to learn to accompany themselves. The motto that characterizes my courses well is: Learn while having fun, in pleasure. Never forget that it's all for the love of music and fun. I like to see the evolution of my students, I adapt the lessons to each one and I quickly detect their motivation and try to stir up their enthusiasm to achieve, to surpass themselves. I like to pass on my passion and enrich and grow the student with an experience he will remember for a long time. I connect well with young children, teenagers, adults, professionals, retirees. I have a portable recording studio. I am very comfortable with sound recording, microphone technique, software. It is possible with me to record professionally or just for fun.

In the case of a 60-minute singing lesson, I start with breathing and muscle tone exercises. (10 minutes) (Note that I spend a lot more time on this aspect in the first lessons because it's the base and it's very important) Then I follow up with a vocal warm-up and auditory training. I check the student's progress, give him concrete examples, answer his questions, and correct him if necessary so that he can perform well in his individual practice moments. I teach him how to practice at home. The number of new exercises varies depending on the evaluation of the student at the time of the course. I always send him the exercises and accompaniments (mp3 piano recording) for his personal rehearsal by email. (First 30 minutes of the lesson) Proposed by the student and approved by the teacher, we apply the new instructions in the songs. (30 minutes) We apply technique and interpretation.

Hope to meet you!

Sebastián
Piano Lessons (Classical Music and Non classical), Music Theory, Harmony, Musical Arrangement, Composition
At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson. In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician. Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

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.

We’ll also bust some common myths about singing, and you’ll be amazed at how much you can learn in such a short time! It’s going to be a lot of fun!
