Clara - Toulouse, FranceC$58

C$58Cello and Theory Lessons for all levels (leisure/ graded)

Trusted teacher: Music is part of our lives, so why not take a dive into learning and understanding it? I am offering Cello and Theory lessons in English, Mandarin or French. Students can choose either or, but basic music theory will be taught as part of practical lessons to progress with music reading. Be it leisure or exam focused, the lessons will be customized for each student. The lessons are progressively paced with a good mix of theoretical and technical studies, followed by expressions and musicality. Music knowledge is definitely not a requisite to begin. Students will also have access to my music database with over 1000 scores, and arrangements can be made for your level. Music theory lessons will be based on either the standard British / American theory or the French theory/ecriture system. Here, you will learn how to better read and understand music concepts and its rules, and even eventually write your own works!

Mohamed - EgyptC$32

C$32Oud lessons in Cairo, Fifth Settlement and First Settlement

Trusted teacher: I am an oud teacher who teaches oud to beginners in terms of reading musical notes. Intensive training is required to raise the level in an academic manner, as well as teaching solfege until you reach the required level. Within a short period, the most important thing is that you have the oud. If it is not available, I can recommend a professional oud maker to you. If you're just starting to learn the oud and want to get to know the basics, it's not difficult and we'll help you enjoy playing and build your skills step by step. First of all, what is an oud? The oud is an ancient stringed instrument used in oriental music. It has a distinctive shape and a deep sound. It consists of a large wooden body and a short neck with strings. Ok, how do we start? 1. Oud grip: The first thing you need to learn is how to hold the oud correctly, so that you are comfortable and your hand can move easily over the strings. 2. Strings: The oud has five or six strings, and each string has a specific note. First, we'll learn how to tune the oud (adjust the strings so the notes sound correctly). 3. Basics of playing: Next, we will learn how to move the pick (the instrument you pluck the strings with) and how to play simple notes on the strings. 4. Musical note: We'll start by learning how to read musical notation in a simple way, so you can play short pieces. The topic will begin with easy notes, and then we'll progress step by step. 5. Practical application: Over time, we will start practicing famous oriental pieces such as “taqasim” or simple things from the Arab musical heritage. In this course, everything will be taught step by step so that you will understand the basics and be comfortable playing. For details, contact us via page messages.

Clément - Paris, FranceC$73

C$73Piano lessons & Music video training all levels all styles

Trusted teacher: With me, you can begin, develop, or even perfect your piano skills. I adapt to all levels, styles, and paces. Some students who have dedicated a significant amount of time to studying piano regularly have made tremendous progress in a short period. For students wishing to prepare for the entrance exam to the conservatory, I can help you in the form of an intensive mini-course during the summer or before (piano leveling and/or music theory). My teaching method is sensory-focused, emphasizing the development of movement in connection with musical feeling. I will help you "connect" with your instrument and unlock its full potential. Also, I attach importance to understanding the pieces played. Understanding their structural, harmonic functioning is necessary and unfortunately little addressed in traditional courses. My classes are deeply human. A relationship of trust is established from the very beginning of the lessons. In my opinion, this is the foundation of effective learning. My students are very satisfied with my approach, and I would encourage you to try the experience too! I teach at home (Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume), at the student's home, and also via videoconference in the rest of France and abroad. For this last option, if you are not equipped, I will help you with your first steps. I offer hybrid formats for certain locations (online courses + some occasional in-person courses). CESU option Do not hesitate to contact me. The pleasure of working with you !

Trusted teacher: Learining the guitar or improving your skills is a wonderfull journey. But like all journeys you'll find your way quicker with a good guide. I've been hiking around music and music teaching for over 20 years-so I know how to guide you. And what have I learned? The faster you have fun on the guitar, the more you will play! And the more curious you will get about guitar and music. For the intermediate and advanced guitarist, it's all about becoming a musician and expressing you, not copying someone else. Of course you are influenced and so we will start of with your influence, but we will get to know the real you as we progress into the wonderful world of music and guitar playing. I have been playing for over 25 years and teaching for more than 15 years. From 7 to 77. I gig, record and write lots of music as a guitarist and conductor. I also play the ukelele, bass, cajon, piano and I have a voice too!

Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, classic guitar, bass guitar, music theory (Copenhagen)

Can

Can is a great teacher. I took my first guitar lesson with him after learning to play easy things on my own for two years and getting stuck on more difficult things. Can teaches music and guitar from a point of view that makes sense and makes it easier to understand how everything is structured. He can easily pick up mistakes from your playing, point out things to improve and provide excercises to work on those. After only few meetings I feel I have better understanding on the theory behind guitar playing, I feel I have improved technically after being stuck with my progress for quite a while, and I have a drive to learn more again. Would definitely suggest lessons with Can!

Lachlan

My son has been now been studying with Lachlan for a few months. He had stopped playing trumpet because he schedule got very busy and it was easier for him to just give up. Now he is back playing and loving it. Lachlan is fun and very clear/easy to follow. He is flexible with his teaching and keeps the lessons lively and well paced. My son is happy to make the necessary time for both his lessons and practice. We would strongly recommend Lachlan to anyone and to any level of player
