Piano, music theory and musical appreciation

From 154 C$ /h

Pianist student at the HEM in Geneva offers piano lessons as well as music theory! Basic elementary and intermediate level I also propose a part to speak about the musical appreciation of all the periods of the history of the music. For all ages!

These will be lessons to work on the piano (beginners and intermediate) while we talk about music theory (harmony, music theory, analysis, etc.) and also a time to listen to recordings and talk about musical appreciation. Besides classical education, I also work with jazz pieces and pop music. It's an hour to have fun, learn and discover.

I have over five years of experience teaching piano and music theory, with children, youth and adults.

I can move to the student's home (Lausanne and Canton of Vaud) and I am flexible with weekly schedules. I adapt to each student and situation!

Classes can be given in French, Spanish or English.

About Me

Born in Caracas in 1999. He began studying piano with Carlos Urbaneja Silva (2011-2017) at the "Escuela de Música Mozarteum Caracas" and music theory with Eduardo Plaza and Eduardo Lecuna. He participated in several concerts as a soloist with the Municipal Orchestra of Caracas and Rodolfo Saglimbeni, the Mozarteum Chamber Orchestra and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. He also performs in several editions of the "Festival de Música de Cámara Mozarteum" in Caracas and plays for several international embassies in Venezuela, in special events. During his studies at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, he had the opportunity to participate in the program "Des Masters sur les Ondes", presenting a program of Spanish vocal music with the soprano Pilar Alva Martín. This project earned them first prize in the Lavaux Classic competition (Lausanne) in the summer of 2021. It also received the Paléo Prize in 2020 for their excellent bachelor course at the HEMU. In addition to his piano career, he devoted himself to composition and the study of music theory, receiving advice from William Blank and took a keen interest in photography/cinematography, bringing the two disciplines together in several personal projects. He has just completed a Master's degree in piano in the class of Christian Favre at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne and will begin a second Master's degree in Musical Theory at the Haute École de Musique de Genève.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

My piano, music theory, and composition lessons are fully tailored to each student's profile and goals. Whether it's a first encounter with music, a return after a long break, or serious preparation for exams or entrance to a conservatory, we will build a personalized learning path together.

My dual training—as a composer and a teacher of the Jaques-Dalcroze method—allows me to approach teaching in a way that is both rigorous and engaging, connecting sound, movement, and the perception of time. I pay particular attention to rhythm and listening, which are the foundation of any solid musical practice.

I work with:

Children: development of basic musical skills, rhythmic and auditory awareness, introduction to reading notes and improvisation

Adults: courses tailored to your goals and pace, in a supportive yet demanding atmosphere.

Conservatory applicants: preparation for entrance exams and ABRSM, targeted work on specific gaps in theory, music theory or instrument

The courses are held in French, English or Russian.

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

As an experienced music teacher and pianist, I offer personalized piano and music theory lessons for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.

My approach combines learning the piano with musicality, listening, rhythm, improvisation, and creativity. I draw particularly on the active teaching methods of Jaques-Dalcroze and Orff so that the student learns music in a lively and natural way.

The lessons are adapted to the level and objectives of each individual: discovering the piano, musical initiation, resuming after several years, accompanying learning already begun or simply the pleasure of playing.

From September 2026, I will be pursuing a Master's degree in music pedagogy – Jaques-Dalcroze Rhythmics specialization – in Geneva.

My goal is for each student to progress at their own pace while developing autonomy, confidence and musical enjoyment.

Santiago tailors each flute lesson to the student's level and goals, from beginner to advanced musician. He combines a solid technique acquired through his training at the Teatro Colón and the Geneva University of Music with a progressive approach.

A typical lesson begins with a warm-up and technical work (breath control, embouchure, fingering, tone), primarily at the beginner level, followed by the study of a repertoire chosen together, and then exercises in musicality and interpretation. The goal is always to help the student progress while fostering the joy of playing.

Santiago teaches children, teenagers, and adults alike, whether they are preparing for an exam, wish to join an ensemble, or simply discover the flute. His strengths include a keen attention to sound, practical orchestral experience, and the ability to explain things clearly.

Starting out, resuming, progressing, preparing for a competition or exam, strengthening your practice or simply better understanding how to work: I offer support tailored to your project, in order to gradually make you autonomous in your practice.

I therefore tailor the learning experience to your individual needs, preferences, tastes, and learning style, with appropriate expectations. I teach all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students.
Conceiving of the courses as a space for exploration, listening and research, I am particularly keen that this dialogue remains lively and joyful, with kindness, curiosity and above all the pleasure of playing.
The repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary, while remaining open to individual suggestions. I pay close attention to my students' progress and am available between lessons when needed to support their work.

I help you build and/or consolidate a solid technical foundation. Furthermore, music theory and solfège are directly integrated into practice, in order to understand what you are playing and to learn how to work with a score.
I guide my students in understanding the style of the works and in the search for their own musical personalities.
My Master's thesis, dedicated to metacognition, extends this reflection on how we learn and on the means of learning, particularly to optimize memorization.
Many other aspects can naturally be added depending on each individual, each repertoire and each project.
