C$72Your Favourite Popular Songs on Guitar for Beginners

Trusted teacher: Music is a creative and fun way to express yourself. What better way to learn a new skill by learning some of your favourite songs? By taking this course, I will guide you through Guitar chord basics, understand popular song structures, no previous music theory is required! By providing me with your favourite tunes, I will also walk you through the process of "reverse-engineering" the track in order to recreate the music at your own pace.

Mauve - Montreal, 10C$48

C$48Private lessons in violin, musical composition and computer-aided music

Trusted teacher: 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.

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!

Mathias - Montreal, 10C$58

C$58Studio musician gives piano (and composition) lessons in Montreal

-- I also teach in english -- My lessons are for anyone wishing to approach the piano in a personalized way, regardless of the style and level targeted. I divide my teaching into equal parts between theory (melody, harmony and rhythm) and practice (all pieces of your choice), the aim being to offer you a grid of global understanding of writing and musical interpretation. I start from the principle that you have to have fun from the start, while looking for a high level of autonomy. -- About me -- Having grown up abroad (in the Central African Republic then in Saudi Arabia), I had the chance to learn the piano through an eclectic teaching. In particular, I was a student of Gulmira Abdukhalikova, a Kazakh concert artist now based in Abu-Dhabi, who made me progress by applying the famous "Russian method". At 13, I won 3rd place in the International Piano Competition of Île de France at Maisons-Lafitte. At the end of my adolescence, I participated in the Big Band of the Children of Jazz, within the framework of a festival organized each year in Barcelonette by Stéphane Kochoyan (who was also, at the time, artistic director of the Jazz Festival in Vienna). Subsequently, I set sail for Canada where I lived for six years. I co-animated several Open-Mics of poetry, as a pianist-improviser, and I produced two albums: "Fragments" (2018) and "Echoes of space-time" (2019), the latter having been 100% improvised and recorded "one-shot" in the studio. At the end of 2020, three years after having started giving piano lessons in Canada and France, I publish "The method of the self-taught pianist" as well as my own sight-reading manual.

Barbara - Montreal, 10C$57

C$57Learn electroacoustic composition - sound creation and sound techniques

Trusted teacher: Who is this workshop for? For anyone curious about sound, all music, music in general, who wants to manufacture, build, examine ... (from 12 or 13 years old). Do you need to know music theory? No. But familiarity with music of various styles can be of great help. DJ? "Electro" music? No ! We will not learn here to be a DJ or to compose “dance-music”, “electro” music in the commonly understood sense, not even songs. Do you need to know the computer? It is better if it is, but learning can be done at the same time as musical research. Is this course a software learning course? No. I give the basics (only on Logic Pro X or Garageband) to be able to compose but I do not teach the deep use of software. Is it necessary to have a computer? Yes ! A "workshop" rather than a class? The course takes the form of a practical workshop, listening sessions, criticism of works. By computer? Everything happens on a computer once sound elements of all kinds have been recorded. Editing, transformation, mixing on software designed for this. No software required. The proposed route can be adapted to any multitrack sequencing software. The computer is only a tool, it is the composer who makes the music. Practically what do we do? The composer works “from the sounds” that he has most often recorded himself. He chooses them, assembles them, deforms them, mixes them according to his project, at will. of his intuition, his ideas and desires, gradually builds a music. For those who wish and need it, exercises are offered which allow to approach at the same time techniques of realization and precise musical proposals. Composition / Invention It is not a question of declaring themselves all composers, but of affirming that we can all ask ourselves composers' questions, with both seriousness and imagination. To confront the game of a free invention. What musical orientation? What style ? This is a “musical research” process: seek to invent a music beyond traditional values - note pitches, regular pulsations, instrumental timbres - without forbidding all that. A “music of sounds”, in the broadest possible sense, a “music of all sounds “as opposed to what one could obviously call too simplified“ a music of notes ”. This choice, which apparently seems to shake up musical uses, is nevertheless part of a tradition of more than a century and rich in a repertoire that is too little known and which has had various names: - Electroacoustic music - Concrete music - Acousmatic music - Contemporary music Finally, we each have a precious tool to never forget: our ear, and a fascinating and rewarding job to lead, questioning about oneself.

Guido - Varese, ItalyRecently activeC$76

C$76PIANO LESSONS - Varese - all levels are welcome - expert teacher - english, italian or hungarian

Trusted teacher: I teach students of every level, I work privately, in person and online. I teach all ages, from children to adults, from level “zero” to students who want to prepare for exams in Conservatories, but also amateurs or people who just want to try some piano lessons. My teaching method is changing with time. The more I teach, the more I learn from my students. I see teaching as a dynamic experience, and I welcome the students to give feedbacks and set their own goals, in order to give them my best advices and guidance. I am usually focusing on generating independence in the approach to music, with slow but steady learning of music reading, understanding of rhythm and all the fundamentals needed by every one, adapting of course to the students' goals. If you want to contact me, I will be happy to answer all the questions. I usually answer in short time. (Do not consider the booking timetable you see on my page. I prefer to write the student and find a day that works for both of us.) ITA Insegno a studenti di ogni livello, privatamente, sia di persona che online. Insegno a persone di tutte le età, dai bambini agli adulti, da principianti assoluti a chi si prepara per gli esami di Conservatorio, ma anche ad amatori o a chi desidera semplicemente provare qualche lezione di pianoforte. Il mio metodo di insegnamento si evolve nel tempo. Più insegno, più imparo dai miei studenti. Considero l'insegnamento un'esperienza dinamica e incoraggio gli studenti a fornire feedback e a definire i propri obiettivi, in modo da poter offrire loro i migliori consigli e la migliore guida. Mi concentro principalmente sullo sviluppo dell'autonomia nell'approccio alla musica, con un apprendimento graduale ma costante della lettura musicale, della comprensione del ritmo e di tutti i fondamenti necessari a ciascuno, adattandomi ovviamente agli obiettivi dello studente. Se desiderate contattarmi, sarò lieto di rispondere a tutte le vostre domande. Di solito rispondo in breve tempo. (Non fate riferimento al calendario delle prenotazioni che trovate sulla mia pagina. Preferisco contattare direttamente lo studente e concordare un giorno che vada bene per entrambi.)

PIANO LESSONS - Varese - all levels are welcome - expert teacher - english, italian or hungarian (Varese)

Guido

I enjoy our lessons with Guido - he is a knowledgeable musician and a great teacher. He strikes a perfect balance between the student's comfort zone and the steps toward future growth, allowing you to learn slightly beyond it while still feeling ‘safe’. Appreciate his attention to various small details and the different examples he provides when a musical concept is difficult to understand. These are things that are hard to grasp and then fix on your own, and that’s the true beauty of in-person lessons. I wholeheartedly recommend him 🤌

Review by ELENA

Music Lessons (Including: SINGING-, PIANO-, SONGWRITING-, PRODUCTION LESSONS) – Online or in-person (Amsterdam)

Lucy

Marloes does an excellent job of understanding the student's needs and goals. Always attentive during the lessons, she provides clear/targeted feedback on areas of improvement and actively listens to your singing. Most importantly, she creates a comfortable/safe environment to experiment with your voice. As a beginner in singing, I highly recommend anyone who wants to get started singing to take lessons with her!
