Discovering or perfecting the double bass - Geneva

Discovering or perfecting the double bass

From 161 C$ /h

🎻 Want to discover the double bass? How about we do it together this year?
For young and old alike, let's get to know this great instrument!

As part of my Master's degree in pedagogy, I want to dedicate time to mentoring two people as they discover the double bass. Today, I want to use my experience to teach, while continuing to explore, play, and refine my teaching methods.

Currently I am a professional double bassist in a symphony orchestra since 2016, graduated with a Master's degree in performance from the HEM of Geneva in 2018, and have years of experience in the Alexander Technique.

Whether you're a child or an adult, a complete beginner or already a musician, the idea is to start with your desires and curiosity: discover this instrument, learn to play it, explore its sound, movement, and listening skills... and above all, enjoy making music. 🎶

I am deliberately limiting this offer to 2 people, so that I can really take the time to build the courses with each person and offer personalized support.

And what about the formula?
Lessons can be paid, but I am also open to an exchange in the style of a "time bank": a double bass lesson in exchange for a skill, a service, a helping hand...we can imagine it together!

If you know that little musician in you who might like this idea, spread the word 💛 See you soon and happy back-to-school season to everyone!

Having recently obtained my masters degree in Music from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I have been teaching piano, music theory and electroacoustic music for 8 years.

Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

Both classical piano training with years of study at the Geneva Conservatory and electroacoustic training with a bachelor's degree in music technology, I provide a program adapted to the needs and desires of each student. With seven years of experience under my belt and having had students of all ages and backgrounds, I gladly teach classical pieces, jazz, pop, but also music theory or even composition or improvisation. At the same time, I also teach electroacoustic composition to children.

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.
Also available for adult classes!

Specialized in teaching children from 3 years old, I offer piano lessons at home. Your children will learn the pleasure of music through the practice of the piano and notions of music theory, rhythm and composition. My method, developed over more than 15 years of teaching, easy to assimilate and naturally evolving, will allow them to make rapid progress.

And why not you ?

The lessons are based on the same method, taking into account your ambitions and your motivation, and will allow you to quickly learn to play your favorite pieces.

I hold a diploma in pedagogy from the Geneva University of Music, as well as extensive teaching experience in institutions, private schools, masterclasses abroad, competition preparation, etc.
I can therefore also make students work in preparation for competitions, entrance exams to High Schools of Music, according to the needs of each person, whether on the technical, musical or theoretical aspect.

Also a composer, I can make the composition work whatever the styles.
---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------

Concert pianist and composer, I am specialized into teaching music and piano to kids from 3 years 1/2 to adults regardless of level.

I will teach your children or you how to play piano, but also notions about music theory, rhythm and, if interested, composing.
I use a very progressive and logical method which I am developing for more than 15 years with entirely satisfying results.

Over those 15 years of experience, I have been teaching in private schools, giving piano masterclasses abroad, or preparing students to enter the conservatory.

Regarding the kind of music I teach, I think it is quite important to present as much different musics as possible (classical, jazz, but also electronic music etc), so my aim is also to transmit my love for various styles to my students.

Feel free to contact me for any question.

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 name is Natalie and I am 21 - dynamic and ambitious teacher.
The courses are combined with the development of a student's technical level, as well as its cultural enrichment. I would love to share the magic of music with anyone interested. The cello is an instrument with many possibilities.
I have experience with students of all ages.

I studied in the cello class of prof. Stefan Popov - 'Chavalier du Cello', who studied in the class of Mstislav Rostropovich - the world-renowned cellist of the 20th century.
I graduated from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève - Bachelor of Arts.

I am the founder and artistic director of Popov International Cello Festival.

I am a very motivated person. I am ready to give you all my energy and patience!
The cello competitions, which I did, inspired me a lot to start giving classes.
I have experience with students of all ages.

Learning while having fun is tempting!
I offer you a gentle and playful approach to the trumpet, through the pleasure of playing with good sensations on the instrument.
To do this, I adapt to your desires and needs and guide you as best as possible towards your goals.

I work in the Geneva area and am studying for a Masters in Pedagogy at the Geneva University of Music.

Throughout my schooling, I was able to develop my knowledge and my pleasure of playing the trumpet. Meeting great trumpet players and teachers allowed me to understand multiple ways of approaching this instrument.

The acquisition of a degree in musicology, a DEM in trumpet and then a Bachelor in Trumpet as well as experience in different formations (reggae, French song, pop/rock, bigband, symphonic orchestra, baroque ensemble, chamber music, contemporary music, ...), plus experience as a trumpet teacher in music school, a Bafa/Juleica and a crazy love for music and in particular the trumpet, allows me to assure you that you will find something to satisfy you!

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.

My name is Thomas and I am a young guitarist motivated and anxious to transmit my love of music, always with pleasure and good humor!

Here is some information about my background:

After obtaining my license in musicology from the University Lumière Lyon 2 and my DEM in classical guitar from the Conservatory of Lyon, I continued my studies at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève where I validated my master's degree in interpreter then, last year, a master's degree in pedagogy.

I have been teaching for many years, the practice of teaching having always occupied a central place in my philosophy as a musician.

I am as comfortable with perfect beginners wanting to discover the instrument as with confirmed students who would seek to prepare for the entrance exams to higher conservatories, universities and higher education centers.

In addition to playing the guitar, I complete the lessons with notions of musical culture, a minimum of music theory, historical landmarks and funny anecdotes.

The course of the course, being by nature personalized for each student, is not immutable.
However, a standard one-hour course is usually organized like this:

- Beginning of the course (discussion, tuning, warm-up ...)
- Work of this week's track
- Choice and deciphering of a new piece, presentation of the composer, explanations ...
- End of the course (musical games etc ...)

I offer piano or violin lessons, which can be combined with a theoretical part of music theory for beginners, with a working method that meets the student's desires, in various styles of music.

Passionate about music since childhood, I won several national competitions in these disciplines during my apprenticeship. Now a student at the Haute École de Musique de Genève in violin, my main discipline, I have also been teaching for five years.
