Private lessons in MAO/Synthesizers/Recording/Hearing training/Experimental sound creation

From 54 C$ /h

Do you or your child want to broaden your musical horizons?
Learn how to integrate technology into your music learning?
Want to know how to turn a song idea into an audio file professionally?
Maybe just introduce you to music in general?
Or deepen your knowledge of computer composition?

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! ☺♫

What I offer:
→ Complete training in DAW software (Ableton Live and others!)
→ In-depth exploration of electronic instruments (synthesizers, MIDI controllers)
→ Instrumental recording techniques and construction of audio models
→ Hearing training and awareness of the different characteristics of sound (timbre, pitch, audio effects)
→ Experimental sound creation and sound design (eg: reproducing the roar of the T-REX)
→ Introduction to music theory and composition
→ Support and coaching for your musical project
→ What you think is relevant to your journey!

The course will be adapted to your needs and all subjects are adaptable to your level!
Simple, fun and enriching!

But why learn all this?
→ Computers today have an essential and central role in music in general. No matter what musical style you listen to, it is necessary that these artists have used DAW technologies to deliver their piece to you. Also, the accessibility of software today allows anyone with an artistic intention to be able to exploit it and offer it to the general public.

¤ Computer access is ideal for taking classes, but I am open to discussing alternative options! ¤

My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible.
One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore!

Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time.
I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group.
I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me.
I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like.

I will teach you:
- to read tablatures,
- the basics of music theory such as scales,
- the notion of rhythm and how to hold it,
- different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick)

I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!

A McGill University piano teacher and with many years of experience as a singer-songwriter, she offers classical piano and pop lessons to all. Experience with very young children as well as adults.

Music is a creative and fun way to express yourself. What better way to learn a new skill by learning some of your favourite songs?

By taking this course, I will guide you through Guitar chord basics, understand popular song structures, no previous music theory is required!

By providing me with your favourite tunes, I will also walk you through the process of "reverse-engineering" the track in order to recreate the music at your own pace.

I am a professional musician from Montreal, Canada and I have performed and produced albums with Folly & the Hunter (CAN) and Geoffroy (CAN). I have major touring experience and I am currently performing music in Amsterdam.

Who is this workshop for?
For anyone curious about sound, all music, music in general,
who wants to manufacture, build, examine ... (from 12 or 13 years old).

Do you need to know music theory?
No. But familiarity with music of various styles can be of great help.

DJ? "Electro" music?
No ! We will not learn here to be a DJ or to compose “dance-music”,
“electro” music in the commonly understood sense, not even songs.

Do you need to know the computer?
It is better if it is, but learning can be done at the same time as musical research.

Is this course a software learning course?
No. I give the basics (only on Logic Pro X or Garageband) to be able to compose but I do not teach the deep use of software.

Is it necessary to have a computer?
Yes !

A "workshop" rather than a class?
The course takes the form of a practical workshop, listening sessions, criticism of works.

By computer?
Everything happens on a computer once sound elements of all kinds have been recorded. Editing, transformation, mixing on software designed for this.
No software required. The proposed route can be adapted to any multitrack sequencing software. The computer is only a tool, it is the composer who makes the music.

Practically what do we do?
The composer works “from the sounds” that he has most often recorded himself.
He chooses them, assembles them, deforms them, mixes them according to his project, at will.
of his intuition, his ideas and desires, gradually builds a music.
For those who wish and need it, exercises are offered which allow to approach at the same time techniques of realization
and precise musical proposals.

Composition / Invention
It is not a question of declaring themselves all composers, but of affirming that we can all ask ourselves composers' questions, with both seriousness and imagination.
To confront the game of a free invention.

What musical orientation? What style ?
This is a “musical research” process:
seek to invent a music beyond traditional values - note pitches, regular pulsations, instrumental timbres - without forbidding all that.
A “music of sounds”, in the broadest possible sense, a “music of
all sounds “as opposed to what one could obviously call too simplified“ a music of notes ”.
This choice, which apparently seems to shake up musical uses, is nevertheless part of a tradition of more than a century and rich in a repertoire that is too little known and which has had various names:

- Electroacoustic music
- Concrete music
- Acousmatic music
- Contemporary music

Finally, we each have a precious tool to never forget: our ear, and a fascinating and rewarding job to lead, questioning about oneself.

Hello! I teach piano to young people of all levels in Montreal. I am a certified pianist from the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM 10) and a qualified tutor.
I also come to your home at an additional cost.

Hello! I am currently teaching piano for beginners to intermediate level in Montreal. I am a qualified teacher and a certified pianist from the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM 10).
The lessons can also take place at your home for additional fees.

I am a composer of music, image and sound designer, mainly for video games.
I teach music production lessons on Logic Pro X and Cubase.

The courses can be oriented according to the needs:

- how to produce a song?
. mix and mastering
. recording, editing

. basic principles of synthesis

- how to build a song?
. What instruments?
. How to choose your chords / melody / rhythm?

My diplomas :
A graduate of the DESS film music from UQAM, I also validated a license in music at the University of Burgundy (France) and studied bass guitar at the Dijon conservatory (Fr).
I also have a DEC in electronics, audiovisual option.

-- I also teach in english --

My lessons are for anyone wishing to approach the piano in a personalized way, regardless of the style and level targeted.
I divide my teaching into equal parts between theory (melody, harmony and rhythm) and practice (all pieces of your choice), the aim being to offer you a grid of global understanding of writing and musical interpretation.
I start from the principle that you have to have fun from the start, while looking for a high level of autonomy.

-- About me --

Having grown up abroad (in the Central African Republic then in Saudi Arabia), I had the chance to learn the piano through an eclectic teaching.
In particular, I was a student of Gulmira Abdukhalikova, a Kazakh concert artist now based in Abu-Dhabi, who made me progress by applying the famous "Russian method". At 13, I won 3rd place in the International Piano Competition of Île de France at Maisons-Lafitte.

At the end of my adolescence, I participated in the Big Band of the Children of Jazz, within the framework of a festival organized each year in Barcelonette by Stéphane Kochoyan (who was also, at the time, artistic director of the Jazz Festival in Vienna).

Subsequently, I set sail for Canada where I lived for six years. I co-animated several Open-Mics of poetry, as a pianist-improviser, and I produced two albums: "Fragments" (2018) and "Echoes of space-time" (2019), the latter having been 100% improvised and recorded "one-shot" in the studio.
At the end of 2020, three years after having started giving piano lessons in Canada and France, I publish "The method of the self-taught pianist" as well as my own sight-reading manual.

Hello, my name is Mathieu and I am a full-time computer music teacher in Montreal.
You can come and benefit from my studio already installed or I can come and join you at your home.
I have been teaching MAO full-time for several years via recognized schools in Montreal (SAT, Dj School) or via the school board.
I have been an electronic music producer since 1999 and graduated from Musitechnique since 2005.
I founded my own program that I can teach in person or remotely, but nothing like meeting in person to get results

Beginner and Intermediate...
I can help you improve your MAO knowledge and your musical productions, or guide you to take the first steps in this infinite world of knowledge.
Whether it's arrangement, mix down, synthesis, sampling or creative flow or simply the interface of ableton or VSTs that you want to tackle, I can help you.

I currently teach children between 9 and 17, adults of all ages as well as retirees in RPA.

To the pleasure.

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.

Hello! I use different learning methods depending on the profile of each student. In all cases, I transmit a real working method that will be useful for your entire life as a musician! I usually divide the course into 2 parts, with a more technical part (warming up the hand and working on left hand agility, small exercises on the problems you might encounter), and a more musical part with the pieces. If you don't know how to read scores, I can also teach music theory or use an auditory learning method! I also often suggest playing in a duet, because music is above all a sharing :)

My teaching experience is varied: I have taught very young beginners (4 years old) and less young, and I also take care of the improvement of more advanced students! I also offer support in addition to courses at conservatories for example. I have been offering courses for 4 years now and I have always had excellent feedback from long-time students! :)

If you are interested in composing, don't hesitate! I work for film music and I was assistant to a composer in Hollywood. I also won many international awards for my projects.

Diploma in music education at the Royal Conservatory of Liège in Belgium, I teach music reading (sight reading, note reading, rhythm reading), but also theory and basic notions of harmony. All levels from 7 years old. Lessons on site or at my home (having a keyboard at home is a plus).

My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
