Music Lessons: Saxophone, Music Theory and Modern Harmony

From 53 C$ /h

Do you have a saxophone at home and don't know where to start? Or perhaps you're looking to understand music once and for all for your own compositions?

I'm a professional musician, and my goal is for you to enjoy playing from the very first week. In my classes, we leave behind dense theory to focus on what matters: making music. We'll adapt the repertoire to your tastes (Pop, Jazz, Blues, Urban, etc.) while organically developing technique, sound, and musical language.

With me you will learn:

- Saxophone: Control of air, embouchure and fingering without bad habits, bring out your best sound.

- Musical Language: Reading and rhythm and transcribing your favorite melodies or solos.

- Harmony: Understand how the songs you like the most work.

Classes adapted to all ages and levels. Let's make music your best hobby or your next professional goal!

Extra information

You need to have your own instrument, staff paper or music notation program (Sibelius, Finale, Musescore...)

About Me

Hello! I'm a professional musician with specialized training in saxophone and modern harmony. My life revolves around performing and teaching, which allows me to bring a very real and current perspective on music to my students.

My teaching approach departs from the traditional, rigid method. I've found that the best way to learn is through motivation and understanding. That's why my classes are designed so that students start making music from day one, naturally integrating musical theory and language while we play the saxophone or analyze a song.

Education

Professional Conservatory of Saxophone and Degree in Musical Composition.
I have been playing the saxophone for 14 years and I had a great interest in continuing my training, deciding to pursue a career in composing soundtracks and modern music.

Experience / Qualifications

I've worked for two years as a private tutor, helping students pass the conservatory entrance exam. I also play in various bands (Bossa Nova, Funky, Dixieland, Jazz Fusion, etc.).

To create the best context for learning music it is very important that you like the music you are composing or playing and that you enjoy the process. That is why I like to offer a wide range of possibilities and discover together with each student what is the best way to go. And the answer is always in the tastes, desires and expectations of the one who is learning.
I believe that technique, improvisation, notions of musical composition, theory and analysis should be learned through the music that you like to compose and the music that you already know how to play. And not as an abstract knowledge. The best way to assimilate music is by writing and playing it and facing the challenges that each piece, song or composition offers.
It is important to remember that music can be made from scratch regardless of your level or age.

Hello! I am Adrià Acker, pianist, composer, music producer, and director of a new music school located on Ricardo Ortiz Street.

I teach classical and modern piano, as well as music composition and production.

I am a professional musician with a Master's degree in Original Soundtrack Production, a Higher Degree in Classical Composition (Leeds Conservatoire) and a Professional Conservatory Diploma in Piano from the Royal School in London.

I work professionally as a musician, composing film scores. In 2024, I was nominated for a Goya Award for Best Original Score and have received numerous international awards. I also produce artists of various styles and develop my own musical project in my studio in Madrid.

In the teaching field, I teach classes at my academy, located on Ricardo Ortiz Street, where my professional studio is also located.
The entire teaching team has advanced conservatory training and extensive experience in both teaching and performance at the national and international level.

With over 8 years of experience as a teacher, I currently teach more than 130 classes per month.
My method is completely personalized, adapted to each student's pace and goals. We work on the three fundamental pillars: technique, reading, and theory, along with your favorite songs, so that each class is motivating, practical, and musically enriching.

If you've always wanted to dedicate yourself to music, improve your technique, compose your own songs, improve your piano virtuosity, or simply take your first steps with the piano, I invite you to try a class.

What are you waiting for to start your musical journey?

Playing the piano stimulates and shapes the brain, increases productivity and concentration, helps overcome stress and depression, improves posture, encourages perseverance and discipline, in addition to developing greater sensitivity by expressing our deepest emotions.

With this course, you will learn to get started or develop your skills as a pianist, also working on the bases of musical theory, in a dynamic and fun way. As a teacher, I adapt to the student's musical tastes to work on their favorite genres on the instrument and I also guide them, if they wish, in the composition of their own songs. Classes suitable for all ages, basic and intermediate level.

Possibility of taking the class in English if necessary.

It is never too late to enjoy music. There are thousands of ways in which a person can enter this wonderful world, either through a more practical approach, playing a musical instrument; or with a more theoretical approach, learning harmony, analysis and composition.

I have worked as a private tutor in both Brussels and Spain. I have experience teaching music theory, composition, singing, songwriting, and music production at Reaper.

I adapt to the needs of the student with ease, and from the first class I develop a personalized study plan, so that you can achieve your goals ;)

My specialization is classical piano (I've been playing it for as long as I can remember), but I've been training in jazz, modern, neoclassical, salsa, and flamenco piano for almost a decade.
In addition to my parallel training at the Conservatory in piano and singing (Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles), I have a Diploma in Musical Production and Composition (TAI ARTS)

Hello! I'm Maria, a professional Portuguese harpist and passionate about music and teaching. I graduated in Harp from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam (Netherlands) and hold a Master's degree in Performance from the Koninklijk Conservatorium Antwerpen (Belgium). My international training has allowed me to explore different performance and pedagogical approaches, which I now apply to my teaching.

My goal is for each student to enjoy the learning process and discover all that the harp has to offer, regardless of their age or previous experience.

In my classes, I strive to create a welcoming, motivating, and supportive environment. We will work on aspects such as technique, posture, music reading, ear training, and interpretation, always using a repertoire appropriate to each student's level and interests. I believe that learning an instrument should be a balance between technical rigor and the joy of making music.

I offer classes for children, teenagers, and adults, both for beginners and for students who wish to improve their skills or prepare for conservatory entrance exams. I can also teach music theory to complement instrumental training.

In addition to teaching technique and interpretation, I enjoy sharing effective study habits that help students progress steadily and independently. I am patient, responsible, and committed to my students' progress. I am passionate about guiding each student on their musical journey, helping them gain confidence, develop their artistic sensibility, and enjoy every small step forward.

In this class you will learn how to understand music basics specifically for piano. To play an instrument, reading the music, and understanding the music is essential. In a theory class, we learn how to read music, play the notes, understand rhythm and timing.
