Experienced jazz pianist gives piano and keyboard lessons in all styles

From 76.65 C$ /h

My course is aimed at amateur and professional pianists wishing to deepen their technique in terms of improvisation, understanding of harmony and accompaniment; I also offer "coaching" sessions in the context of assistance with creation (composition, interpretation etc.), I insist on the fact that it is not essential to have an in-depth knowledge of music theory!
As long as the motivation and desire are there, the rest will follow!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Extra information

It is preferable to have a minimum of predispositions beforehand: sense of rhythm, form, ear. (Knowing how to sing in tune is a plus!)

This course is intended for beginners wishing to learn the piano, whether they are children or adults.
Trained at the Gretry Academy, I offer adapted piano lessons using different learning methods, including scores and theory (music theory).

For complete beginners, it can be above all a musical awakening (notions, hand coordination, theory, ...)
I have a THOMANN digital piano at home which is available to learners.

For the 2024-2025 academic year, classes will begin in mid-September.

Graduated in music theory and piano, I will be delighted to teach you the basics of these practices and, if you like, to deepen this area with you. The times I can teach vary depending on my work schedule, so this needs to be discussed.

I give lessons of 1 hour, at home if necessary, for students of all levels and styles of play. My teaching covers both classical music and modern flute (jazz, etc.); the work done can focus on music of the student's choice, or I can simply redirect it to methods and scores if he wishes to work on them together. The idea is to progress, but above all to have fun, the two go hand in hand.

I give lessons in Liège.

"The piano is an instrument that makes so many people dream! If only the brake of theory did not exist"

in the course of conversations, I have often heard this sentence which puts me off. I am Thomas, a pianist student at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Liège where I am finishing my course. I started music far from Theory and solfège classes, by a method of my own, on which I worked quite a bit, in order to offer it to my students (I come from France where I had been teaching for 6 years alongside my studies).

I proceed as follows: we first work on the ability to listen, and then we deduce the technical and/or theoretical concepts. music comes first and foremost through the spoken word!

trained in classical, I have won international competitions, and have stage experience that allowed me to test my method!

As a professional violinist trained at the Frédéric Chopin College in Moscow, I was fortunate to also receive piano instruction there from exceptional teachers who passed on to me their passion for music and pedagogy.
Today, I offer piano lessons for beginners, suitable for both children and adults. My lessons are based on a comprehensive approach: technique, note reading, music theory, ear training, and accompaniment.
I tailor each lesson to the student's pace, desires, and level, in a motivating atmosphere. My goal is to help you progress while discovering the joy of playing and understanding music.
