Private cello and improvisation lessons for beginners - intermediate and advanced

From 78 C$ /h

English follows

I am a graduate of the highest music schools and universities in Switzerland (HEMU Lausanne, HEM Geneva) and in Canada (McGill Schulich School of Music, Montreal).
I give my lessons at home / online but I also travel if necessary.
I teach cello technique using various teaching methods with great classics such as Navarra, Lee, Feuillard, Dotzauer, Popper, Starker and many more...
I teach for all levels: beginners - adults - intermediate, advanced and professional and in various styles of music: classical, jazz and world music, (Eastern Europe, Balkans, Near and Middle East, Asia Minor, North Africa and Brazil).

I work a lot on posture in my teaching, because it is an element that I believe is essential in teaching a musical instrument and which is unfortunately not taken seriously or considered enough. I had the chance to work with Mrs. Aude Hauser who is a recognized physiotherapist in Switzerland and Europe specialized in musicians.

I am a certified teacher from the Conservatories and Higher Music Schools of Switzerland, but also from the Association of Graduate Music Teachers of Quebec (APMQ), as well as universities in Canada.
Instrument-wise, I also have a small cello collection, to be discussed.
I also teach on weekends, depending on my availability.

Graduate of the DESS in film music from UQAM, I also completed a license (bac) in music and musicology at the University of Burgundy (France).

I teach music theory for all levels; whether from the explanation of what a scale is to writing techniques and classical or jazz harmony.

These courses will allow you to better understand, among other things, which chords flow together well and why, and will help you in your compositions and arrangements, or even allow you to broaden your language during improvisations.

My courses are generally composed of a theoretical part, an application and an analysis.

A master's student at Concordia University and a cellist at the Orchestre Symphonique de l'Isle, I offer cello lessons for beginners and intermediate musicians. Having studied music at the Massenet Conservatory in Saint-Étienne (France) and through the Electroacoustics minor at Concordia, I have 18 years of experience with the instrument and 10 years of orchestral practice. The courses aim to support the instrumentalist in their development, as well as in their first steps, including the basics of music theory and ear training.

Hello,

Professor with experience and diploma of professional musician, offers courses of polystyle guitar (Classical, Bossa nova, jazz, gypsy, rock and metal), the courses and their contents will be adapted to the wishes of the student, but harmony, solfege, rhythm, ear, improvisation and history of the guitar are the unmistakable characteristics of my lessons, all presented in the least academic and spontaneous form possible so that the student develops a concrete interest for this infinity that is the music.

Looking forward to reading you !
Louis,

Former student at the Conservatory of Versailles in France in the class of Saskia Lethiec, I had the opportunity to be part of many student and amateur orchestras in Violin I:
- Orchestra of the Sorbonne in Paris
- Orchestra of the Universities of Paris
- Orchestra of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark
- Sinfonia Ensemble of Montreal

Passionate about orchestra and the teaching of my instrument, all along my musical journey I had the opportunity to transmit my knowledge in violin and music theory especially to the youngest (10-15 years old).

My method:

As for young students, for me learning the violin must be a discovery in every class. The child must be amazed by the beauty of the music each time he vibrates his instrument. This curiosity must be enriched day by day during his daily work and I want my classes to allow them to learn the instrument in the joy of discovering their own sensations!

As for adults, I want to provide them with the means to progress independently from day to day, always becoming aware of their body. It is important for me that the adult can develop his inner listening to help him progress on the quality of his accuracy and phrasing.

Hi to everybody! :)

My name is Stef, I am a lyrical singer from Barcelona who currently lives in Montréal (and I love it!).

I teach singing, piano and musical theory for ALL AGES and GENRES!

About SINGING, I am going to teach you how to use your voice in a healthy way.
In class, we'll learn about:
- Body awareness
- Support (yes, we'll talk about the diaphragm!)
- Breathing
- Phonation
- Tuning
- Phrasing
- Declamation
- Projection
- Confidence
- Stage presence
- Communication through emotions
- Piano self-accompaniment (so you can give proper concerts to your beloved ones!)
- And MORE!!

If you feel interested about the vocal world and you want to begin or improve and expand your knowledge, drop me a line. Tell me which repertoire you want to work with and let's sing it!

About PIANO and MUSICAL THEORY lessons, they are based on a super piano book. With that and my technique you'll learn a lot! For kids, I have several books that are fantastic for them as well!

Also, I'm here to help you with your EXAMS and AUDITIONS :)

My philosophy is QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. To achieve that, it's important to establish a trust-based relationship between us. My lessons are taken in a comfortable and open-minded environment. I find this point essential to feel free and make music from the heart.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate to contact me to book your first lesson! It will be a big pleasure to work with you :)

Remember: FUN is mandatory! :D

I am a bandoneon professor graduated from the "Manuel de Falla" Conservatory of Buenos Aires, Argentina, I worked as a teacher in several conservatories and music schools in Argentina and Uruguay, until I moved to Montreal in 2020.
The lessons and materials are adapted to each student and their goals.

Many people think that the bandoneon is a complicated instrument, however, I believe that it all depends on the approach...

Please contact me to schedule since the availability chart is tentative.

Cellist for 16 years, and after having validated my "Diploma of Musical Studies" (diploma of end of normal studies) at the Conservatory of Saint Maur des Fossés, I then studied for 2 years in the class of Xavier Gagnepain at the Conservatory Regional Outreach of Boulogne-Billancourt. This year I am starting my Bachelor in Interpretation at the Faculty of Music of the University of Montreal. I worked for the last 2 years in a recognized French organization of home lessons during which I taught cello as well as music theory to different student profiles (Children, Adults...).

Hi! My name Ce, I am a drummer with 10 years of experience teaching drums and a 30-year career on the instrument.
I love teaching from experience, studying drums in a dynamic and fun way, delving into fields that are not usually taught such as situations in recording studios,
concerts or bands with their own songs, what will we experience there and how to deal with it!
Of course, we will see rudiments, musical and technical reading, we will also work with songs and their recording process, necessary tools whatever path you want to take in music.
Please don't hesitate to contact me, I don't bite, you can ask

cheers

My teaching method is personal, I adapt to the needs of the student or group of students. Motivation and the pleasure of learning is the most important aspect for me.

I also use the RCM system as well as certain approaches from Suzuki, Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique to have fluidity of movement with the cello and a comfortable, tension-free posture.

Preparation for exams, recitals and festivals as well as university auditions. I have been teaching cello and theory for over 15 years, all ages (from 5 years old to adults) and all levels (beginner to advanced). I am able to teach in English, French or Spanish if the person wishes or wants to practice the language.

Whether you’re picking up the violin for the first time, returning after a break, or looking to refine advanced repertoire, I offer personalized lessons designed to meet your goals.
With over fifteen years of teaching experience and a career as a professional violinist, I have worked with students of all ages and levels. My approach is both rigorous and encouraging: I emphasize strong technical foundations, musical expression, and efficient practice habits, while keeping lessons engaging and tailored to each student’s interests.
Lessons can focus on classical repertoire, technique, audition preparation, or even creative projects such as arranging and cross-genre playing. I also integrate elements of music theory, ear training, and performance skills to give students a well-rounded musical education.
My priority is helping each student progress with confidence, enjoyment, and a deeper love for music.
