Private lesson Jazz Harmony, Arrangement and/ or Orchestration
From 133.3 C$ /h
The music writing courses (jazz harmony and contemporary music, arrangement, orchestration) are suitable for all levels in all styles of music:
JAZZ HARMONY
“Understand where it all started…”
Harmony developed thanks to rules... which we always try to circumvent!
Whether in the tonal, modal or synthetic world, harmony often serves as a basis for reflection for composition, for improvisation (but not only that!...).
Let's discover together the codes and conventions that govern this universe!
ARRANGEMENT
“Understanding today’s music”
The purpose of the arranging course is to show the different stages which lead to the creation of a musical piece, whether it is sung or not.
ORCHESTRATION
“Tradition at the service of modernity”
Orchestrating means “putting timbres together” to create a sound!
In this course, we learn to manage the instruments of the Orchestra and to create sound colors according to the emotion to be transmitted... Of course, this knowledge can be adapted to all instruments, acoustic as well as electric!

About Me
I have been a music writing teacher for over 30 years (including 14 years at the CIM in Paris).
Learning how to write music allows you to hear it better, to situate your role as an instrumentalist according to the musical style played, to know how to find your way in the sound space...
I developed my own teaching method: I drew inspiration from all the teachers I met during my studies, from all the groups in which I played, from all the music I listened to, analyzed and of course written to establish my lesson plan. The international diversity of students who have benefited from my teaching, and their enthusiastic reactions, seem to indicate that I am on a good path to transmitting past and current knowledge of music writing.
