Trombone, Euphonium Private Lessons- Preparing you for High School

From 87 C$ /h

The trombone has been a staple instrument in music for centuries. This course is designed for people in grades 6-8 who are planning on playing trombone or euphonium in high school and are looking for some instruction outside of their regular band class. DISCLAIMER: I am making this course primarily due to the fact that schools are closed because of the coronavirus. Once things calm down, we can do your private lessons in person if you prefer.

I have made district honor band multiple times and participated in this year's Georgia All-State Band. I have also played in multiple community bands through the years, I have attended multiple honor bands at universities such as Reinhardt and Young Harris, and I have been In West Forsyth's top band since freshman year.

Why take lessons from me?

Taking lessons from a professional will ALWAYS be more beneficial if you are wanting to improve your playing. However, if you are also looking to: prepare for high school, make honor bands, and make your high school's top band, I can help you prepare for all of these, as I've prepared for these myself.

Additionally, if you have any questions about marching band, I can answer your questions for this too. I've marched for two years now and if you want to know what it's like, or if you should even do it, I can help you.

Graduated musician offers music lessons for all ages, experiences and interests. The main process will take place considering the previous knowledge of the student, in order to start a personal and individual learning path. Lessons can be about Drums, but also music theory, harmony, ear training, rhythm, percussions, double bass. The main tool will be the listening and the comprehension of musical sounds, forms and feelings, in order to avoid a mere intellectual study. Playing and listening first!

The rule is simple: don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself! Students are encouraged to try, fail, and overall be proactive in learning new information in bite-sized chunks: all of that in a warm and comforting environment.

Depending on the personal goal of the student, we will learn/refine/explore the following topics:
- Fundamental techniques of playing piano
- How to read and play chords
- How to play an improvised solo
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear
- Exploring piano-looking-like instruments such as electric keyboards and subtractive synthesizers

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

I offer private bass lessons to beginners and intermediates who would like to have a deeper understanding of harmony and and music theory. Alongside it, we cover technique over the bass guitar with reference to method books on the subject matter. I prepare weekly exercises using a variety of bass method books as well as basslines taken from songs of our choosing. The weight of music theory, harmony and ear training within what we cover can be rearranged according to the needs and expectations of the student.

Some of the topics I cover in lessons are as follows:

- Basic Concepts of Music Notation
- Tonality, Intervals, Triads, Chords, Scales and Arpeggios
- Functional Harmony
- Improvisation
- Bassline Construction and grooving

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.

The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.

If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.

Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Preferably in my studio, but it can also be at yours.

I have been behind the kit for 18 years in different styles (rock, jazz, reggae, afrobeat).

PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST, COMPOSER, MUSIC AND GUITAR TEACHER

Beginner-Advanced Level

Experience:
I am a professional musician and have been teaching students of all ages for over 20 years. My experience as a teacher and my pursuit of self-improvement as a musician have led me to develop an effective method that I have already tested with over a hundred students.
Throughout my career I had the satisfaction of studying with great masters of different specialties or styles, each one emphasizing different aspects of flamenco, classical or modern guitar and each one has given me their approach (technique, rhythms, accompaniment, harmony, etc.), which has led me after years of study and compilation to take the best from each one to develop my method.

My role in my classes is more that of a personal trainer than a teacher, where I will be very attentive to bringing out the best in my students, finding the right technique to help them develop a good rhythm, working on their rhythm, etc.
For me, the role of a teacher, in addition to teaching, is to be part of a team, to maintain morale and constantly improve oneself while always maintaining a love for music.

Methodology:
I tailor the lessons to the student's level, style, or goals. Generally, the first half of the lesson is dedicated to technique, focusing on proper placement, execution, and relaxation, which will result in a good sound. Over time, I've realized that it's also a way to connect with the guitar, concentrate, and warm up. So, little by little, we'll develop our routine, which will begin by working on basic rhythmic aspects.
The second half is dedicated to playing, trying to put into practice what we learned about the technique with the sticks or studying other concerns of the student, which may be a theme, harmony, falsetas, improvisation, or even other styles, etc., always obviously taking into account the search or interest of the student.

FLAMENCO
- Flamenco technique
- Palos (Tangos, Bulerías, Alegrías, Soleá, Taranta...)
- Accompaniment to singing and dancing
- Clapping and rhythms

MODERN GUITAR
- Harmony
- Improvisation
- Repertoire (rumbas, pop, jazz, rock, etc.)

CLASSIC
- Reading, solfège and interpretation.
- Works
- I work with progressive learning books

I offer lessons exclusively dedicated to jazz singing, focusing on interpretation, exploring the jazz repertoire, and music theory applied to jazz. These sessions are for anyone wishing to immerse themselves in the world of jazz, from beginners to intermediate levels, as well as those who wish to prepare for conservatory entrance auditions.

- Jazz Style and Interpretation: Work on jazz phrasing, swing, rhythm and text placement on the great jazz standards.

- Jazz Improvisation and Scat: Introduction to jazz vocal improvisation and development of melodic invention.

- Applied Jazz Theory and Ear Training: Reading jazz chord charts, understanding jazz harmony and working on listening skills.

- Essential vocal technique: Basic concepts (breathing, posture) addressed in a practical way according to the needs of the jazz piece being studied.

The goal is to provide concrete tools to sing the jazz repertoire independently, develop your own stylistic identity or succeed in your conservatory entrance exams.
