Discover the Best Private Jazz Music Classes in Lyon

I had previously played some classical for a few years, but was looking to learn jazz piano and improvisation as well. For this David is ideal, as he studied both as a classical and jazz musician, and has a deep understanding of each. About half the lessons we focus on jazz improvisation. During the lessons I improvise over a few songs, and each session he gives feedback, while adding a new layer of difficulty. We've also worked a lot on rhythm, which has really helped me bridge the gap between classical and jazz. We spent a few lessons on classical pieces as well, to refine technique and musicality. My playing feels much more fluid and musical already, and he's really helpful/knowledgeable with the details. Also, on the weeks where I did have not had much time to practice, we do a more (jazz) theory oriented lesson, which has also helped alot with my improvisation. Overall, I only have positive things to say about the lessons! David is a very easy-going teacher, and from the first lesson I felt very comfortable asking him questions. He's very versatile as well, and easily adapts the lesson according to what suits us best that week.

I had the pleasure of receiving personal lessons from Élodie while I was visiting Brussels from NYC. It was a gift to myself, a standup comedian, to practice using my voice for a different kind of self expression. During the pandemic, I suffered a lot of sadness, like many people, and I could not bring myself to tell jokes. Élodie helped me to sing songs and taught me techniques that helped to heal my heart, and my throat Chakra. I am eternally grateful for her teaching style, and I even had the honor of dueting with her. Élodie is such an amazing instructor, with a beautiful voice, and an even warmer spirit. I felt comfortable, encouraged, and increasingly confident in my abilities the more I worked with her. And did i mention how much FUN it was?! No matter your starting level, I highly recommend Élodie, and hope to work with her again sometime :)

I've been thoroughly enjoying my online music lessons with Leandro. What stands out to me the most is his thoughtful approach and attention to detail in every aspect of each class and exercise. Leandro goes beyond just providing material; he teaches how to practice it effectively. I particularly appreciate the well-laid-out assignments he provides after each class, which help me stay focused and motivated.
