From 89 C$ /h

Hi! I'm a full-time professional trumpeter offering personalized trumpet and/or improvisation lessons focused on developing confidence, creativity, and a clear practice strategy.

I hold a Master's degree in Jazz Trumpet and a Master's degree in Education, combining high-level artistic training with a deep understanding of how people learn. My goal is not only to help you play better but to teach you how to practice effectively, so you continue making progress long after each lesson.

I perform weekly across a wide range of musical styles, including jazz, pop, funk, rock, soul, reggae, and african music. I'm the bandleader of Unfinished Business, The Fela Kuti Celebration Band and the Seba Colson Quintet.
In addition, I'm bandmember of Lucid Lucia, Hnita Bigband, Nana Osei, Nuff Said, Jazbyssinia and The Very Bigband.
Throughout my career, I've shared the stage with renowned artists including John Clayton, Joe Bowie (Defunkt), Chris Potter, Bert Joris, Jef Neve, Gregory Hutchinson, Frank Vaganée, Zap Mama, Manou Gallo, Amir Sulaiman, K.ZIA, Selah Sue, and many others.
This real-world experience allows me to connect jazz improvisation with practical musicianship and the skills needed to become a versatile performer.

Every student is different, so lessons are tailored to your goals, experience, and musical interests.

Hello, my name is Javier. I am a guitarist, composer, sound technician, and music producer. I work professionally, especially in contemporary Jazz.

During more than 15 years of experience as a teacher, I have developed several methods and exercises for teaching guitar and music (songs, theory, composition, improvisation, harmony, etc.) for students of all levels and all ages. I have already had students from 6 years old to 74.

I believe that the most important thing is that the students manage to find the motivation to practice regularly with the pleasure of progressing.

Method:

The most common is the use of songs that the student chooses and takes advantage of this to work on more general concepts of music and the guitar which are important to acquire a solid base without bad habits.

For more advanced students the learning process is determined together by setting personal goals.

The teaching method is totally focused on the individual needs of each student.

Students with any level of knowledge in music (self-taught, beginners, advanced ...) are accepted.

Interview:

01
- Since when did you develop a passion for music and more particularly for your favorite instrument?

- I became interested in the guitar at the age of ten. I had a friend who played "Blackbird" music by The Beatles and I was fascinated. From there, I started to study and I continue to learn today.

02
- What music can you listen to on repeat with the same pleasure (and without going crazy)?

- Beethoven's Seventh Symphony.

03
- Tell us about the most difficult or amazing lesson you have given!

- It would be a class where I have to explain the major and minor tonality and all its variants in one hour of class. But I will get there!

04
- In your opinion, what is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

- It was impossible to answer. Each person has different predispositions.
For me to play the piano at a high level would be complicated for the need for independence of the right and left hands. In this sense, the guitar is easier.

05
- What are, for you, the keys to success (apart from those of Sol and Fa)?

- Constance, it's always better to practice a little every day than a lot once in a while.
Patience, learning an instrument takes time. You have to learn to coordinate the body and the brain and take new paths from time to time.
And the most important :
Don't be afraid of making mistakes, to learn it is essential to make mistakes and this should not be a reason to stop practicing, on the contrary, it should be a motivation to improve.

06
- Name 3 musicians with whom you would dream of jamming in a bar at 2 a.m. and tell us why!

- Tigran Hamasyan, Reinier Baas, Avishai Cohen (bassist)

07
- An anecdote to tell in relation to your job or your schooling (and not necessarily the party you had after entering the Conservatory)?

- When I started giving lessons (I was 17), I had a 10-year-old student, when I suggested things to do, he looked me directly in the eye and said: No!
But with patience, after a while, I managed to make a connection with him and at the end of the 3 years he played the guitar very well and we became friends. Now he is more or less 25 years old.

08
- What is the little touch that makes you a special teacher adored by all his students?

- I am very patient and I always find the best way to explain to each student.

There is never too early or too late to learn to play cello. Instrument that sounds closest to human voice. I'm professional cello player for already 24 years (started from 7) with teaching experience of 9 years. I hace 2 bachelor degrees - in Lithuanian music and Theater academy and Royal conservatory of Brussels. Master in Royal conservatory of Antwerp. Any age is welcome. Please don't hesitate to contact, sharing music knowledge with people is always a pleasure.

Hi, my name is Jo and I am a voice coach. Together we start working with music in a fun and comfortable way. All ages and levels are welcome: from beginner to advanced. I specialize in light music: RnB, Pop, Musical, Rock. You choose the style you want to develop.

By means of an intuitive, scientifically based approach, we get past all the confusion surrounding vocal technique and start immediately with what is really important - learn to sing your favorite music. In my lessons, I teach you, using practical information and exercises, how your voice works. No endless scale exercises here.

There are endless subjects to be discussed when it comes to music and guitar. And, since everyone is different and is aiming at a different goal, I do not use a "one size fits all" approach with these lessons. However, a number of topics could be touched upon and thoroughly studied.

Some of the standard topics that I could cover in the lesson are as follows:

1. Chords, voicing, etc.
2. Playing tunes
3. Improvisation
4. Arrangement
5. Transcription
6. Harmony analysis
7. Technique
8. Arpeggios
9. Ear training
10. listening
11. Playing in a group
12. Recording guitar
And more...

All levels are welcome for lessons: if you want to

- Learn the basic techniques to play the saxophone,
- Improve your sound,
- Understand the solos of your favorite musician,
- Learn creative ways to improvise,

I will help you with lessons tailored to your specific needs. Besides jazz, I'm also open to teaching other styles (such as classical, pop/rock, ...).

Playing and working as a saxophone player with internationally renown artists around the world.

I'm a professional musician with over 20 years of experience on stage. I offer personalized music theory and trumpet lessons for all levels, from beginners to advanced players. My goal is to help you build confidence and develop a strong musical foundation so that you can enjoy making music. Based on your expectations and interests, we can set up a specific set of lessons that suit you most.

I offer trumpet lessons for intermediate and advanced students who would like to continue developing their playing in a thoughtful and structured way.

Lessons can include work on technique, sound production, musical phrasing, articulation, flexibility, and repertoire. Depending on the student's goals, we can also work on orchestral excerpts, audition preparation, or general musical development.

As an active orchestral musician, I try to share practical ideas and practice strategies that help students approach the instrument in a natural and efficient way. My aim is to help each student progress, deepen their understanding of the instrument, and feel more confident in their playing.
