Saxophone, flute, clarinet and Alexander technique lessons

From 79.74 C$ /h

I've been teaching saxophone and flute for about 30 years. I studied in Paris and New York with some of the greatest saxophonists, including the great master Barry Harris. Over time, I've developed a pleasant and effective method. I also teach the Alexander Technique, a very effective tool for learning to play with minimal effort.
I teach classes for all levels and styles, although I specialize in teaching jazz improvisation.

I propose saxophone lessons for all ages, all levels, and in all styles. I have been running private lessons for 25 years, as well as giving workshops and master classes in colleges and universities. During a lesson I encourage the student to work on: posture, breathing and the position of the mouth (embouchure), helping the projection of sound; the development of the tone; i teach the student how to phrase and play a beautiful melody; techniques of improvisation; understanding harmony; having confidence in his/her playing skills; techniques of listening and interacting with the rhythm section; learning new songs and experiencing different styles of music; Introductions to key saxophonists. 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.
I'll be very happy to meet with you!
Musically, Rob

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.

I propose saxophone lessons for anyone wishing to put on the saxophone or deepen his mastery of the instrument in a fun way, the idea is to learn while having fun. I adapt
the difficulty of the pieces and the exercises according to the time of practice which the student disposes, thus the progress is observed much more quickly.
The content of the lessons will be addressed - also according to the wishes of the student-
the following disciplines:
- Discovery of the instrument: fingering, mouthpiece, posture, air column
- Work of pieces / solos, which can be chosen by the student
- Instrumental Saxophone technique: breathing exercises, sound development, scales, arpeggios, vocabulary elements of different styles ...
- Musical theory (harmony, music theory)
- Ear Training
- Tips and accompaniment to improvise

For information I can receive the students at home or move in Paris intramuros and near suburbs.

Hoping to read you soon,

Edouard

I do not have a precise methodology, each student is different and requires a different approach, I adapt the lessons to the student and their way of working.

I actually have two intermediate level students and I usually divide the lessons into three parts (to be discussed)
⁃ Warming up
⁃ Piece (of the student's or teacher's choice) with the technical exercises necessary to play it
⁃ Duo if interested or musical training/music theory if necessary

I can also help conservatory students succeed in their flute and music theory exams.
In short, you are welcome in my class, to start, to play duets in pairs or to rehearse before an exam.

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, I will be happy to answer you!

Teaching languages: French, English and Portuguese.

Whether you are a beginner or want to go further and progress in saxophone, improvisation, knowledge of musical systems whatever the styles (Classical, Jazz, Current Music, etc...), I orient my teaching in such a way as to achieve your objectives, while adapting my working method to your needs and your level so that you can progress quickly and with pleasure.

I hold a Bachelor's degree (Bac+3) in classical saxophone from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and a chamber music prize from the Toulouse Conservatory.

I have taught in music schools and in the private sector (in France and Belgium).

I am a patient and attentive teacher. Attentive to difficulties, I adapt my teaching according to them to support you as best as possible on the path to success.

I offer saxophone lessons to beginner saxophonists and to already experienced saxophonists.
I also give lessons in improvisation, theory, harmony, music theory and composition.
In short, everything you need to play and improvise in the style of jazz.
During improvisation classes in my music studio, I use accompaniment instead of a jazz rhythm section (piano, bass, and drums). This effectively prepares students for playing in a real band later on.

In addition to saxophone lessons, I can give piano lessons as a second instrument for saxophonists, which is essential in order to understand and hear harmony.
I give lessons at home in Paris in the 16th arrondissement between the Iéna (line 9) and Boissière (line 6) metro stations.
For students who are unable to attend classes in person, I can provide video lessons via WhatsApp.
My job as a teacher is declared. Students can obtain invoices.
I accept students with irregular schedules and availability.

Hello!

I have over 15 years of experience in flute and have dedicated my studies to this instrument. I have extensive teaching experience, with several years of teaching in France. I have worked with students of all ages, from children to adults. I have also played with orchestras and participated in concerts, in Taiwan and abroad. I graduated from the École Normale de Musique de Paris and previously studied at the National University of the Arts in Tainan, Taiwan. During my studies, I supervised younger students and gave private flute lessons. My students come from all over the world and I offer lessons in Mandarin, English and French. I can adapt the lessons according to the level of each student. My wish is for my students to enjoy music and share my passion for this incredible instrument, the flute!

I specialize in teaching flute technique, tone quality, flute playing posture, and music notation. I can adapt classes to the level of the students, whether you are a beginner or already have some experience with the flute. My students come from all over the world. Come and let's have fun together!

With my experience as a teacher at the Conservatoire (in total I have given more than 8000 hours of lessons over the last 15 years), I am able to support you whatever your level: beginner, intermediate levels, returning to the clarinet after a break, preparation for competitive exams (young professionals).

My courses will allow you to acquire or consolidate solid technical foundations (knowledge of the instrument, body and breathing exercises, digital technique, sound production, etc.) while developing a personal musical sense (notions of phrasing, historical concepts and notions of musical analysis, etc.).

Possible additional lessons: music theory (possibility of mastering the basic concepts quickly), special techniques (continuous breathing, double detached, etc.), bass clarinet, small clarinet, basset horn.

I am committed to providing a comprehensive and demanding but above all caring education, in a warm atmosphere that puts each of my students at ease and allows them to develop their potential, whatever their level.

The transverse flute is an elegant and expressive instrument that can play a variety of melodies, from classical to contemporary. This course is designed for all levels, whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced player, and whether you want to learn or perfect your technique.
You will learn to master breathing and posture, develop your fingering and your reading of scores, play melodies adapted to your level, improve your accuracy, your musicality and your expression, and gradually become independent in your practice, while progressing at your own pace.
