I am a multi-instrumentalist (saxophone, transverse flute, keyboard), composer and arranger (SACEM member since 2012), excellent improviser. This course will allow you quickly, whatever your instrument and your technical level, to understand and master the chord sequences and the articulation of musical language according to these sequences. In addition, you will learn the most frequent or rare harmonic structures used by composers. And, theory notwithstanding, you will learn to develop your ear to identify harmonic structures. This course also includes an introduction to the history of jazz.

I propose saxophone lessons for all ages, all levels, and in all styles. I have been running private lessons for 25 years, as well as giving workshops and master classes in colleges and universities. During a lesson I encourage the student to work on: posture, breathing and the position of the mouth (embouchure), helping the projection of sound; the development of the tone; i teach the student how to phrase and play a beautiful melody; techniques of improvisation; understanding harmony; having confidence in his/her playing skills; techniques of listening and interacting with the rhythm section; learning new songs and experiencing different styles of music; Introductions to key saxophonists. Above all i encourage my students to have fun with music! Course locations: Paris 13th and neighbouring arrondissements. Languages: French, English. I have been working as a Professional for 25 years, I have toured all over the world. I am also a composer with six albums under my name.
I'll be very happy to meet with you!
Musically, Rob

Are your shortcomings in note reading, rhythmic reading or deciphering preventing you from fully living your passion? Having trouble deciphering a score?
You are a beginner and you have neither the time nor the desire to study music theory and theory in depth, and you don't know where to start?
My classes are designed for you.

Even if you have no musical knowledge, you can learn and progress quickly thanks to a simple and effective method that will give you the practical tools to overcome your difficulties in a short time, so that you can concentrate on the essentials.

I adapt my work program according to your specialty (singer or musician) and your level, and I guide you step by step towards your individual objectives.

As a professional musician graduated from the CNSMD and an experienced teacher having collaborated for 8 years with the Opéra National de Paris, my lessons are specially designed for those who have no time to waste.

I teach in French, English and Spanish.
LESSONS ONLY ON SKYPE.

See you soon for your first lesson!

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've been playing drums for 12 years,
Economic and social bachelor, then student at the IMEP, I now play in restaurants or weddings

The drums are a key instrument within a group, it is he who will allow to create a link between all.

My goal is simple, you have to take pleasure in playing, this will of course go through attendance, but also through moments of laughter, fun, exchange, communication ...
I would initiate you if you want to play percussion to test them to have fun.
I would try to teach you the styles that I know so that you can practice them, be it rock, funk, pop, soul, jazz, reggae, but also having fun with your instrument,
and why not make it your job ...

So when do we start?

I give you an appointment from Monday to Saturday

I am very attached to offering a very varied and original working repertoire, combining works from the repertoire and current music, as well as various complementary working methods varying according to the technical and musical difficulties of each person (technical exercises, reading of scores, training of the musical ear, listening...).

I am available for any additional information!

Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)
- Classical music (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.)
- Film music (La La Land, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
- French pop music (Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacque Goldman, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Location: At home (Antony and surrounding areas - Nanterre and surrounding areas)

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

To book lessons, please contact me by message on this platform.
See you soon at the piano!

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

I'm Romain, a university student and passionate pianist for about ten years. After a classical education at the conservatory, I developed a more intuitive approach: playing by ear, personal arrangements, simplified theory, and above all... fun from the very first lessons.

A teaching method designed to help you learn the piano in a less conventional way. Want to learn to play the music you love, without the hassle? Movies, anime, video games, jazz, improvisation, pop, accompaniment... I'll teach you to play freely and at your own pace, even without music theory.

• 🎶 Improvisation material: scales, rhythmic patterns and stylistic language.

🔄 METHOD STRUCTURE

4. Continuous monitoring: progress recordings, personalized feedback and adjustments.

🎸 CONTENT BY LEVEL

My name is Loris, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a student at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in the jazz department. I've been playing saxophone since I was 14 and previously studied in Germany, where I'm from. Since I started playing, I've performed in various big bands and solo projects, such as the South German Youth Jazz Orchestra. For my own projects, I've toured throughout Germany, France, and the Netherlands. I also taught for a long time in Germany at a music school, where I had students ranging from 11 to 65 years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching all levels and musical styles! Having gained considerable experience, I know what's important for each student and how to best achieve their goals and, above all, make learning enjoyable! I specialize in jazz, but I'm open to anything!

See you soon, I hope.
Loris!
