I gave my first recitals on classical guitar as a soloist. Alongside practicing this repertoire, I turned to folk guitar, playing with a pick and using "open" tunings, exploring traditional repertoires from various parts of the world: Celtic, Latin American, USA, Spanish, and African. I have accompanied several singer-songwriters in concert, and I have also been a member of Irish folk and bluegrass bands.

In addition, I am a composer in the field of classical and contemporary music, I write for instrumental and vocal ensembles who perform my works in concert.

Hello,

I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.

My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.

All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- 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 students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

I offer music lessons for children focused on four main areas: music theory, singing, cello, and rhythm. My approach is playful, caring, and adapted to each child's age and pace.

Through music theory, I help children develop their musical ear, read and understand sheet music in a lively and interactive way. In singing, we explore the voice with gentleness and freedom, working on breathing, expression, and the joy of singing together. Cello lessons are designed to introduce young children to the technique of the instrument, while maintaining an element of play and sensory discovery. Finally, rhythm workshops allow children to move, strike, feel the tempo, and play with rhythm through their body and percussion.

Above all, I seek to transmit a love of music and to offer a space for listening, expression and trust.
Each lesson is a little musical journey, where the child learns while having fun.

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.

Do you want / have just started playing the guitar? Are you looking to learn a few songs? I would be more than happy to teach you guitar (Acoustic or Electric).

In the program:

- Basic techniques: Good position of the instrument / Playing with a plectrum, Arpeggio / Open and barre chords / Chaining / Rhythms / Scales / Reading tablature / Basics of improvisation.
- The songs: Learning of standard songs in line with the techniques and chords seen previously / Learning the songs you would like to learn / Learning songs of all styles (Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues, Jazz etc ...)
- Practical cases: Being a multi-instrumentalist and component on Logic Pro X, I also create personalized backing tracks so that the students can apply concepts that we will have seen in class (such as improvisation).
- Other: Ear training / Composition / Project assistance / Recording.

I listen to the student and adapt to his goals. My goal is to make him independent and enjoy playing the guitar.

See you soon in my next class!

Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)
- Classical music (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.)
- Film music (La La Land, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
- French pop music (Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacque Goldman, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Location: At home (Antony and surrounding areas - Nanterre and surrounding areas)

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

To book lessons, please contact me by message on this platform.
See you soon at the piano!

------------------
- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

I offer music lessons for children focused on four main areas: music theory, singing, cello, and rhythm. My approach is playful, caring, and adapted to each child's age and pace.

Through music theory, I help children develop their musical ear, read and understand sheet music in a lively and interactive way. In singing, we explore the voice with gentleness and freedom, working on breathing, expression, and the joy of singing together. Cello lessons are designed to introduce young children to the technique of the instrument, while maintaining an element of play and sensory discovery. Finally, rhythm workshops allow children to move, strike, feel the tempo, and play with rhythm through their body and percussion.

Above all, I seek to transmit a love of music and to offer a space for listening, expression and trust.
Each lesson is a little musical journey, where the child learns while having fun.

Each course is structured in three parts:

Exercises adapted to the student's level: breath control, voice placement, accuracy, articulation, resonance, power without straining.
