Education

"Melita's education and career are remarkable. Originally from Croatia, she began her career as a pianist in 2003 under the direction of Professor Drazen at the Vatroslav Lisinski School of Music in Zagreb. Later, she continued her studies at the Academy of Music in Zagreb, under the tutelage of Hari Gusek. Unusually, she completed her studies and graduated at the age of 21, and today she lives and works in Paris.

During her training, Melita showcased her talent by performing classical compositions ranging from JS Bach to S. Prokofiev in prestigious venues such as the Croatian Institute of Music, the Institute of History and the House of Europe. Notably, she presented the works of Fanny Hensel Mendelssohn to the Croatian public for the first time.

Melita's dedication and talent have earned her a collection of awards, both locally and internationally. In addition, she is an accomplished chamber musician and has benefited from masterclasses given by renowned pianists and teachers, including E. Indjic, K. Bogino, G. Gruzman, R. Delorko, R. Andres, J. Zlatar, H. Gusek, A. Serdar and V. Glodic.

Small group music theory lessons 🎵 Cergy-Pontoise, Osny

43 C$ /h

Small group music theory lessons 🎵

Do you want to learn music theory methodically, but also enjoyably and without making it unnecessarily complicated?

I offer music theory lessons in small groups of 3 or more students, intended for children, teenagers and adults who wish to acquire a solid musical foundation.

The goal is simple: to learn to read notes with ease and truly understand musical language, so that you can then be comfortable reading sheet music and playing the instrument of your choice.

We will work gradually:
• reading notes and sheet music
• rhythm and measure
• Intervals and essential musical concepts
• listening and musical comprehension
• sight reading

A good education in music theory makes it much easier to progress in learning an instrument.
Therefore, I favour a clear, structured method adapted to the level of the group, with plenty of practice.

Course in French or English.

Group Solfège Classes 🎵

Would you like to learn music theory in a clear, structured way - without making it unnecessarily complicated?

I offer small-group music theory classes for 3 or more students, for children, teenagers and adults who want to develop a solid foundation in music.

The goal is simple: to learn how to read music easily and truly understand the musical language, so that you can confidently read a score and play the instrument of your choice.

We will gradually work on:
• reading notes and musical scores
• rhythm and meter
• intervals and essential musical concepts
• aural skills and musical understanding
• sight-reading

A strong foundation in music theory makes learning an instrument much easier.
My approach is therefore clear, structured and practical, with an emphasis on understanding rather than simply memorizing rules.

Lessons available in English or French.

In this violin course you will learn a foundation in learning one of the most rewarding instruments in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Grip the bow, hold the violin, have the perfect hand position and enjoy playing the strings while learning how to read the notes, the violin rhythm and technique.

Students will generally learn better if they feel a connection developing with their teacher, whether that’s through humour, showing care about their development, or making sure teacher devote time equally to all students when in a group.

You will not regret. 😊

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

Graduated from the American School of Modern Music, I offer bass lessons for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels looking for ways to work. I adapt to everyone's desires and favorite styles, whether it's Hip-hop, Jazz, Blues, Pop, City Pop, Rock, Punk, Funk, Metal, World, etc. . My goal is above all to accompany you in your musical adventure. Also I can help you prepare for auditions (for a group or a music school), improve your phrasing, develop your game or simply teach you your favorite songs.

Classes can take place at my home, yours or via Skype. I offer lessons of 1h, 1h30 and 2 hours according to needs and desires.

Having several basses (4 strings, 5 strings, acoustic, fretless) I gladly lend an instrument to students who come to my home, which can be practical if the lesson takes place after work or study hours. For lessons at home, I bring an ABY pedal that allows two people to play on the same amp, making the lesson more practical and more fun!

Thank you for reading this announcement and have a nice day,

My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase.

The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach.

The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

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.

This course is for those who want to learn guitar, piano, and music and harmony theory.
I started playing music at age six and was lucky enough to find a teacher who truly understood how to instill confidence in me. Beyond music theory, a very academic approach that clearly discourages further exploration, he had me playing, learning directly through my fingers and ears the music I loved. Without him, I surely would have given up. Like him, I now want to share the joy of playing, learning all kinds of pieces, and perhaps even composing my own.

As a passionate musician (piano duo) and holder of a degree in musicology from the Sorbonne, I offer personalized support for anyone wishing to start playing the piano, regardless of their age.
My approach: a gentle and structured teaching method, focused on the joy of playing as much as on technical fundamentals (reading sheet music, rhythm, hand position, basic harmony, ear training). I have also developed my teaching skills by teaching French as a foreign language to adult groups for several years — I know how to adapt to each student's pace and make learning motivating.
Lessons can take place at my home in Neuilly sur Seine or at your home, in the Paris region.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and arrange your first lesson.
