YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! ☺♫ What I offer: → Complete training in DAW software (Ableton Live and others!) → In-depth exploration of electronic instruments (synthesizers, MIDI controllers) → Instrumental recording techniques and construction of audio models → Hearing training and awareness of the different characteristics of sound (timbre, pitch, audio effects) → Experimental sound creation and sound design (eg: reproducing the roar of the T-REX) → Introduction to music theory and composition → Support and coaching for your musical project → What you think is relevant to your journey! The course will be adapted to your needs and all subjects are adaptable to your level! Simple, fun and enriching! But why learn all this? → Computers today have an essential and central role in music in general. No matter what musical style you listen to, it is necessary that these artists have used DAW technologies to deliver their piece to you. Also, the accessibility of software today allows anyone with an artistic intention to be able to exploit it and offer it to the general public. ¤ Computer access is ideal for taking classes, but I am open to discussing alternative options! ¤

Mauve
Private lessons in violin, musical composition and computer-aided music
Hello! I use different learning methods depending on the profile of each student. In all cases, I transmit a real working method that will be useful for your entire life as a musician! I usually divide the course into 2 parts, with a more technical part (warming up the hand and working on left hand agility, small exercises on the problems you might encounter), and a more musical part with the pieces. If you don't know how to read scores, I can also teach music theory or use an auditory learning method! I also often suggest playing in a duet, because music is above all a sharing :) My teaching experience is varied: I have taught very young beginners (4 years old) and less young, and I also take care of the improvement of more advanced students! I also offer support in addition to courses at conservatories for example. I have been offering courses for 4 years now and I have always had excellent feedback from long-time students! :) If you are interested in composing, don't hesitate! I work for film music and I was assistant to a composer in Hollywood. I also won many international awards for my projects.
