Electric guitar (rock/punk/jazz/metal) and introduction to playing by ear

From 102 C$ /h

By adapting to the level, I propose to approach the guitar through pieces chosen by the student which we will analyze by ear and work on together.

This teaching method aims to place the joy of playing at the heart of the process, allowing for a more engaging and accessible approach to theoretical concepts. Having trained at a conservatory and with 10 years of experience, I have explored a different teaching approach through playing in groups practicing free improvisation.
I was a student of Thibault Abrial (guitarist for Trust, Johnny Hallyday and Michel Berger) between 2017 and 2024, and I draw inspiration from his teaching methods.

Learning chords or theoretical knowledge (triads, scales, arpeggios) is done at the student's request.

The goal is to emphasize active listening, in order to understand how to play without reproducing a score: the use of tablature will be as an additional tool and not as a structuring principle of my approach.

Extra information

The student must have their own equipment, I travel with my own guitar/amp so that we can play together.

Creative Writing and Poetry Course: Creating Your First Texts

102 C$ /h

To put into words what one feels.
Inventing images.
Playing with sounds.

Poetry helps us to live better.
To get through crises, heartbreak, and bereavement.
To celebrate simple joys, to express our feelings for those who matter.

In this course, I propose an exploration starting from the student's desires: the first session is a discovery of poetry through extracts that will serve as a basis.
Writing exercises will help you dare to take the plunge: the blank page and the fear of doing it wrong are the first obstacles that we will deconstruct.

By reading the student's texts aloud, the goal is to make writing a living practice, one that is shared and not practiced only in solitude.

I propose cello lessons for all ages, all levels, and all walks of life:

Whether you are already in a conservatory course, as a tutor, and to help you prepare your competitions.

Or if you chose this beautiful instrument from 7 to 77 years, to address classical repertoires, jazz, rock, be able to improvise ... etc

My teaching is based on the listening of the student, in order to transmit to him techniques and solid knowledge, in the pleasure of the music.

The teaching of music theory can be done separately, with a very playful approach, or be integrated into the learning of the instrument!

Program

Discover, learn or improve in acoustic or electric guitar, through styles of music of your choice.

Objectives and skills

Guitar lessons focus on the study of various playing techniques, the study of chords, harmony, as well as rhythm. This study is done through pieces of music of various styles, chosen according to the tastes of the student (s), to match their desires and desires. We will also learn the maintenance and structure of his instrument, as well as reading scores in tablature or music notation.

Regarding this last point, it is important to specify that with Apolline, music theory is integrated into the instrument lesson, sparingly and in a manner consistent with the subject studied by the child. Thus, theory sticks to practice and becomes digestible and interesting. To learn more about this, see our article on music theory lessons.

Learning music with Apolline
How to leave the usually rigid framework of the first years of musical learning that is found in most schools in Switzerland?

Based in Lausanne, Apolline has a different philosophy. Rather than offering children and adolescents to learn in individual lessons, lessons in small groups - from 2 to 3 students, depending on the instrument - are highlighted. Working in a group offers many advantages to beginners or inexperienced students.

Apolline offers her students the possibility of joining a group workshop, in addition to the basic instrument course, so that they can play with other musicians of their age. Accompanied by a teacher, they will learn to play in groups, through covers or their own compositions.

As a Master’s student in medical biology, I have been playing piano and guitar for 18 years. I can explain to you the musical theory that allows you to understand a piece on which you want to improvise or to understand the idea behind the composition of a piece. I can find you the chords of any song or piece and I have examples of songs whose chords search is particularly interesting. I can teach you classical music and jazz.
I use a piano that provides an automated and complete accompaniment, that is to say that we can play as with a band with a drummer and musicians of any style. This is very convenient.
I also have recordings of impro funk or hip-hop patterns that are what you might call "fire" to learn to improvise with pleasure.
I took classes at the school of jazz and current music for about ten years and had some bands, concerts and jams at the university. I was also a member of the Lausanne University Choir.
For many years, I made self-taught classical music in parallel with jazz lessons.

I base my lessons on the alliance between learning music theory and practicing the instrument. This allows for interactive teaching.
My lessons are usually in 1 hour; even 1 hour 30 depending on the relative intensity of each. I am demanding with my students but without pressure. I want to teach this discipline to make it a passionate way of life.

I am a student in a double music-studies course.
I started music when I was 5 and participated in international competitions. I had the honor of participating in important regional concerts in France and Tunisia. Having obtained 2 diplomas recognized by the Royal Schools of Music, I want to pursue my passion which is to teach ambitious young people and to make them as passionate as me.

Learning through listening, discovery of the repertoire, technical improvement, preparation for a deadline...my priority is to offer you courses that adapt to your needs, in the long or short term.

The objective of my teaching is to share my passion for the violin, and find the appropriate method according to your level, your tastes and your sensitivity.

Currently a student at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne, I have been giving private lessons alongside my studies since the age of 15.

Trained at the conservatory, I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate students, with an approach that is both educational and fun. My goal is to help each student learn to play the piano from a score, while integrating music theory lessons throughout the lessons.

Each class is designed to be enjoyable and motivating, especially for children: I ensure that music remains a pleasure, adapting the pieces to the tastes and level of the student. Through progressive exercises and gentle learning, I give them confidence on the keyboard while developing their musical ear and their independence.
