Recorder Tuition for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass (F, bass clef), traditional or "Celtic/folk" style (workshop).

From 68 C$ /h

Playing the recorder isn't necessarily "child's play". The recorder is a serious "real" musical instrument like all the other members of the woodwind family.
The soprano recorder in C is the traditional starting point for children as it is just the right size for little fingers. That doesn't mean it's a "kids only" instrument. many 17C composers have written for the soprano recorder.

If you don't want to start with the small C instrument, there's the tenor as the "large" alternative. Because of its size, though, it may be too large for some hands. The alto recorder in F, the 18C favorite of many Baroque composers e.g. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, also called "flauto dolce"/the sweet recorder, is probably the best place for adults to start with. It's not "too small" nor "too big", offers loads of original literature, and is simply "dolce/sweet". The large F-instrument is the bass recorder. Many alto players play the bass as well but cannot read the bass clef, hence have to rely on others to transpose parts into the treble clef. I offer bass recorder playing and reading in bass clef.

Being passionate about Celtic music myself, I offer workshops explaining and practicing the differences between classical and Celtic playing for recorder players who want to venture into trad Irish or Celtic music.

Extra information

I offer a free 30 min first meeting to discuss the interests, needs, and expectations of students and discussing suitable methods. If a student has already got a tutor book/method, I'm happy to use it. In many cases, though, it may be better to start from scratch, especially online.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

My goal in teaching is to help students develop their voices without stress, to discover their unique potential and musicality, and to truly enjoy the beauty of the musical world.

Have you ever looked at your clarinet and thought, "I should play more often..." — then scrolled instead? Perfect, Music Wednesdays are for you! What's that?!? Two short monthly get-togethers, stress-free, judgment-free... but with music.
The concept is simple:
We meet for 45 minutes, and we really play.
30 minutes of guided practice (inspired by the “winners’ routine”, with a drum machine and a broken-down style)
A little improvisation to unleash creativity, tame your emotions, and maybe discover that you're better than you thought.
A moment to ask your questions: a passage you're stuck on, a study, a method... let's talk about it

The prerequisites (note: very demanding):
An instrument (ideally a clarinet, but we're open to suggestions)
Ears (preferably sharp ones)
Attention (yes, you'll have to turn off notifications... hang in there!!)

When ?
The first Wednesday of the month, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m., then the third Wednesday of the month similarly from 6:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.

Objective: to progress without getting bored, to play at a relaxed pace, and to leave with the desire to play again.
If your clarinet is starting to gather dust or if you're simply looking for a nice place to practice... sign up!!
(I promise, no one will ask you to play the Mozart Concerto in the first session... well, unless you insist.)

See you soon !

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.
