Student at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne gives introductory courses in composition and/or harmony

From 143 C$ /h

This course is aimed at beginners, with or without mastery of music writing. It will be possible to cover:
- The basics of writing music, melodic (notation of pitches and rhythms on the staff) and harmonic (notation of chords);
- The basics of classical and/or jazz harmony: notations, chord compositions, chord functions, modulations, etc.
- Questions of form: what structure should you give to your piece? What are the "classic" forms? How to start/finish a piece?

The course will be structured between:
- on the one hand, the rereading of work composed by the student, in order to suggest avenues for development;
- on the other hand, the teaching of the necessary or desired tools from the list above.

My profile :

I have been studying for a year in the "Performer Jazz" bachelor's degree in transverse flute at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne. With 20 years of instrumental practice, I began composing on my own by discovering computer-assisted music as a teenager. I then developed a more "written" composition style (on score) over the past 6 years during my studies at the Grenoble Conservatory (France). I obtained a Diploma of Musical Studies there rewarding 5 years of harmony and writing "in styles" which allowed me to appropriate the classical, baroque, romantic styles, of Fauré and Debussy, Bartok and Bill Evans. I also took free composition classes for 5 years.
My experiences include the musical setting of a feature film for a piano-flute duo, the composition of pieces for solo piano, for chamber music ensembles, for small orchestras, for jazz quartet and septet.

Hello,

My name is Marco, and I invite you to pass on my passion for the guitar, and more broadly for music.

Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians...

My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

To achieve this, my main tool, as in music, will be listening.
Listening to you, understanding what you dream of achieving, then helping you get there, this is my method. So my experience and my knowledge will allow us to approach the styles that interest you: Songs, Pop, Rock, Folk, Fingerstyle, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Bossa nova, Samba... as much as to accompany you in your own creations .

So during our first session we will discuss the artists and guitarists who are close to our hearts. If you already know songs, you can play them for me, easily, without stress, and for the most advanced among you, it will even be an opportunity to jam.

Whether it's for you or your child, whether you're a student or a retiree, I'm interested in all profiles, because everyone can have fun learning to play the guitar.

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

I studied in Italy at the Conservatory of Music in Pesaro and I finished my piano studies with the maximum points. Currently I have a duo with a violinist and we play regularly in concert and at the same time I teach and transmit my passion to those who want to learn it.
I taught for 3 years in Rome in public and private music schools and currently I teach at the International School of Geneva.
My students have often participated in piano competitions and have always achieved excellent results.

My lessons are adapted according to the progress and desires of each student.
The duration of the lessons is not standard because I make sure that the student does not finish without having fully understood the topics explained during the lesson. A part of music theory and solfeggio is planned.

A passionate musician and experienced teacher, I have been teaching saxophone for over ten years in various conservatories and schools in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Trained at the HEMU in Lausanne, the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and the HKB in Bern, I have acquired solid expertise in performance and pedagogy.

My artistic journey has led me to prestigious stages, from the Jazz in Marciac festival to the DAM Festival in Kosovo, via major Swiss events such as Paléo, Cully Jazz or Verbier.

These experiences enrich my teaching and allow me to convey a vibrant and open vision of music. Patience, listening, and adaptability are at the heart of my method: each student progresses within a structured framework, but always in connection with their desires and curiosities.

My ambition is to inspire everyone to create, share and flourish through music, whether they aim for the stage or personal enjoyment.
