The course focus on concepts that will make any student of any level developing their own approach to improvisation. It can be designed depending on the instrument played by student and his/her atttude.

Books and materials used in the course.

How to improvise by Al Crook ed Advance Music, for horn players,
This book describes a nice way of approaching improvisation through specific exercises that can be tested on students of any kind of level. It divides in 4 section and requires a minimum knowledge of scales, chords and familiarity with musical vocabulary

Hearing the Changes by jerry Cooker, Bob knapp, Larry Vincent, ed advance Music, for all musicians

With this book the student will learn how to recognize progressions by ear thanks on a selection of jazz tunes chosen from the standard repertoire. It will be taught at the piano and it will let students of any level to deal with harmony and theory progressively but starting codifying harmonic traits that will clarify the reader's understanding of how progressions and improvisation "work".

Music Theory helps you understand the undercurrents of all Western music and gives you the ability to analyse, create and enjoy music in more versatile and deep way.

I'm a graduated musician (Helsinki Pop & Jazz Conservatory) and musicologist (MA, University of Helsinki) and I teach Western classical and jazz theory.

Students from beginners to advanced are welcome! My classes are customised for each student based on their skill level and expected outcome. Theory lessons can be shaped to support composing/arranging or practicing an instrument. Classes can also be taught using Logic Pro, while enjoying the additional bonus of learning to use one of the most renowned DAW's.

My personal approach to music theory is holistic, so with me you will be able to go deeper into music theory than just learning the rules by heart.

I also teach electric bass!

I have over twelve years of teaching experience having worked with absolute beginners through to pre-conservatorium programs- where I ran improvisation and composition workshops.
Currently, I'm in a post-grad position at the Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium in Copenhagen.

I am an enthusiastic teacher, who enjoys having fun with music but also enjoys mentoring those who wish to take their music ability to the next step. I teach saxophone, clarinet and flute.

I look forward to hearing from you!

İmprovisation:
- The student will learn how to create music on the spot and explore their musical language in a free and fun environment.
- If the student wants to, we can also learn chord progressions in Pop and classical music and improvise based on them.
- For Jazz, we will improvise melody lines on top of some already written songs.

DRUMS ARE FUN! :)

We will talk about technique, listening, groove, touch and interplay by doing different exercises, based on your skill level and personal interest.
We will do fundamental exercises as well as play together and for each other, embracing improvisation and working on learning your favorite songs and grooves.

Together we will find a style of practice that fits you the best! We will be spontaneous and structured at the same time. :)

All levels are more than welcome!

Hi there!

My name is Darius , I am from Germany and I am studying my Master's at the Rythmic Music Conservatory in "Music Performance".

I've been playing the piano since the age of 5 years and I started teaching when I was 14 years old. I have experience teaching all levels, including young childres (>6) and adults of all age - teaching privately and in music schools ever since.

I can offer basic to intermediate teaching in classical related and pop related piano / keyboards. Having a jazz background myself I can offer jazz lessons from basic to expert which might include preparing for auditions. I am very open to the interests of my students, but my only requirement is to take some time for people call "practising" - or just making yourself a nice time with music :)

I also offer other music related teaching in music theory, "ear training", production etc. on all levels.

I believe that we should do stuff that you're interested in. Maybe you'd like to learn this beautiful classical piano piece? Or you would like to play jazz piano? Or you'd like to accompany yourself on the piano? Anything is possible :)

I also believe that lessons should not be work that you need to do or be good at... For me it's all about fun, creativity, imagination, and taking a break, relaxing, expressing, listening, experiencing, getting more sensitive.. enjoying music both listening to it and playing it yourself :)

If you're interested, you can listen to my music in my hiphop/jazz band "Bokoya"!

Lessons would take place at Rythmic Music Conservatory in Holmen (Bus 2A from Christianshavn) or (within a reach of 1052) in your home. Timing is pretty flexible. Let's meet each other :) Looking forward to hearing from you!
