Before instrumental or vocal technique, the quality of listening, and the development of relative ear are the keys to being able to play music. Not moving your fingers mechanically on the instrument, but playing literally, having fun with the notes, rhythms and harmonies. During my years at the conservatory, as a child, I experienced this void of meaning that young students can feel in music theory classes. At the time I was a diligent student but quite mediocre in music theory. I simply didn't understand the method that was dictated to us in Musical Training class. This actually favors children with perfect pitch, and those who do not have it remain behind. What a pity ! But I was passionate and so I looked for other ways to develop my listening skills. I studied Indian music, I followed the teachings of American, German, Swiss teachers... And finally by practicing ancient music, I discovered ancient music theory. The latter is the one which provides the real bases from which all Western music arises. Counterpoint and harmony, everything became clearer to me.
Calm and patient by nature, I would be delighted to help you or your child to appreciate music theory thanks to a personalized creative and playful approach.

About Me

Having grown up in a family of artists, since I was very young, I have been passionate about music of all styles, all continents and all eras. Thanks to my saxophonist and composer father, I was able to develop free improvisation skills that you don't learn at the conservatory. So I was able to see the two "sides" of learning: the theoretical bases of the conservatory in classical guitar on the one hand, and the ability to improvise, to play with energy and groove within rock and funk groups, world music. In 2015, I discovered early music and developed a passion for the lute and the theorbo.
Currently graduated from the most prestigious school of early music: the Schola Cantorum in Basel (Switzerland) I am currently finishing my Masters in Versailles / Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. I play in the baroque music ensemble Il Groviglio with which we recorded two discs and performed twice live on France Musique (see links below). I also play in many baroque music ensembles in France, Italy and Switzerland.
Webcam lessons possible in the event of confinement, but I much prefer human contact without this mediation.

Above all i encourage my students to have fun with music! Course locations: Paris 13th and neighbouring arrondissements. Languages: French, English. I have been working as a Professional for 25 years, I have toured all over the world. I am also a composer with six albums under my name.

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. 😊

Learn to play; to decipher the scores and improvise by ear or by reading and analyzing chord charts. This course will adapt to your level of play: simple harmonies for beginners and more complex depending on the degree of mastery of the instrument. This course also includes a thorough introduction to harmony.

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

Program
At the beginning of the course we will work on the technical aspects of the accordion: the bellows, the coordination of both hands, posture...
A second part will be devoted to rhythmic practice around the rhythms of the songs we will perform.
Pablo, accordionist and singer, born in Argentina and living in France for nearly twenty years, began singing in Argentina with renowned musicians, singers, and teachers of popular music. He co-directs and sings in two world music groups: Trio Belconte and Rombeo, and also participates in tango ensembles in Paris.

All levels, all styles of music
Men / Women / Children

“90% of my students are able to play up to 100 songs after the first lesson.”

Drumming should be a fun experience. No time wasted trying to learn music theory or reading. We get straight to the point, playing music the way we want to. We'll get past the beginner level in just 2 or 3 lessons, then move on to more advanced things.

The lessons are designed to connect as much as possible with music and passion, and thus be able to express it creatively through the instrument. The courses are intended for everyone, including beginners and children.

BEGINNERS:
Intuitive and musical approach to the instrument
Essential Rhythms of Popular Music
Basic techniques and autonomy
repertoire

ADVANCED:
rudiments and their application
Advanced independence
Work on grooves of different styles: Jazz, Soul, Funk, Blues, Latin Improvisation
Understanding the harmony of music and other instruments Repertoire
Other advanced concepts
How to work professionally

We will seek creativity and enjoyment through music, to connect in the most inspiring and musical way. All of this creates a solid foundation for playing the instrument and routines that work on concentration, technique, and, above all, creativity.
The lessons take place in a music studio. There is also the possibility of giving lessons at the student's home.

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,

Daniel

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.

- 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.

Does your child love to sing and want to develop their voice, gain confidence or improve their technique? Do you want to start singing yourself or improve your skills?

I offer private singing and vocal technique lessons, fully personalized according to the level and objectives of each student, whether beginner, amateur or already experienced.

Each course is structured in three parts:

1. Physical and vocal warm-up
Body relaxation, diaphragm placement, breathing exercises, posture and grounding, to prepare the voice and avoid any tension.

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

3. Application to a piece
Putting the technique into practice on a song chosen by the student (or suggested) to work on interpretation and enjoy singing.

The styles are open: pop, variety, French chanson, lyrical... according to desires.

In addition, I offer the basics of music theory and piano for students who wish to learn to read sheet music or accompany themselves while singing.

You play the piano but something prevents you from being completely free?
Tensioned shoulders, strained forearms, painful wrists, rapid fatigue, passages that get stuck despite hours of work... Or simply that feeling of having to force yourself to play.
That's precisely where my work begins.
I offer you personalized work to understand what, in your way of playing, creates tension, fatigue or blockages and to gradually regain a more natural, freer and more efficient movement.
As a student of Monique Deschaussées, I was deeply influenced by her approach to the body at the piano: posture, breathing, use of weight, support, freedom of movement and search for natural movement.
This approach informs my own work as a concert pianist: I give more than 150 concerts a year, mainly recitals, in extremely varied repertoires. Physical freedom is therefore not a theoretical concept for me: it is at the heart of my daily performance practice.
Depending on your needs, we can work:
— tensions, friction and blockages in the game
— posture, support, weight and freedom of movement
— technically difficult passages
— sound and touch
— piano technique
— musical interpretation and construction
— working methods and autonomy
— memorization and stage preparation
We work from your playing style, your body, and your repertoire. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all method.
Classical, pop, rock, film music: my repertoire is particularly vast and I insist that the technique always remains at the service of the music you wish to hear.
You tell me about your background, the difficulty you are facing, and what you want to change. Together, we determine if my approach meets your needs and what form of work would be most appropriate.
If your issue is suitable, I can also offer you more in-depth, personalized support.
Because playing the piano shouldn't be a struggle against your own body.
