Guitar, Piano and Music theory lessons at home in the Gier Valley

From 47 C$ /h

Like most musicians, I have long wondered how we could "organize" the learning of music by avoiding waste of time, energy, "repetition" and discouragement in front of such work ...

My approach focuses on 3 important points: the development of the inner ear, the knowledge of Harmony and the mastery of the instrument.

To describe a sound:
The auditory recognition of rhythms and heights makes it possible to develop the ear, by recording audio tracks directly on the instrument and / or on the score. To have a good ear is to recognize and name a sound (rhythm, interval, tone, chord, cadence ...).

Understand the musical grammar:
Harmony consists in explaining what are the chords and their sequences in various styles. The knowledge of Harmony helps a lot to choose the right nuances and good accents in the interpretation of a piece (including current music). It is essential for those who wish to compose or arrange.

Find effective positions on the instrument:
Finally, a reflection on the choice of fingerings greatly facilitates the interpretation of even very difficult pieces, and improves the sound result.

Imagine that the Music is a Planet, the 3 points above would be 3 angles of view different from this one: Harmony and analysis would be the hidden face, the ear would be the visible face and the game instrumental the surface ...

About Me

In the 80s and 90s, I first studied Classical Guitar in various music schools in the Lyon area and I spent some small regional competitions until DEM. I do not know if this is still the case, but at the time, the disciplines were quite siled. I felt that something was missing ...

So I became interested in Piano and Jazz. I then worked on writing and counterpoint (which I also followed until the DEM) at the Conservatoire de Lyon, which was certainly my most interesting and formative experience.

In hindsight, I realize that my job was to put together the pieces of a big puzzle. Once this one gathered, friends and relatives began to ask me questions on the music, the Piano, the Guitar ... and for some, these discussions turned into real course. I had already replaced some teachers, but I had not specifically planned to become one at the start. And then the desire to help others took me, and here I am!

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!

We can learn to read a score for the more ambitious, discover American chords to move towards jazz or pop, learn to improvise and understand the relationships between each scale to be able to master our instrument as much as possible.

The course takes place in joy and good humor while trying to always give your best to progress!

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

For all ages, all styles, all levels, play the piano with pleasure and at your own pace. It is possible to play classical, neo-classical, pop, rock, swing, or any other style desired.
For beginners, teaching the fundamentals of music theory is possible, in a fun way, with the aim of being able to read the chosen score.
My methodology is the same as the one I use in my work: listening, support, sharing, communication, kindness, adaptability.
What matters most is the desire and the pleasure of making music.

About me:
Passionate about music, piano and singing, I have been playing the piano since I was 6 years old. A former student of the Lyon Conservatory and musicology, I still practice music daily, particularly in duos or trios with two guitarists, and also in a group singing collectively.
During my early years, I taught children and adults, both beginners and intermediate. From this came the desire to transmit, to share, to listen to the desires and needs of each apprentice pianist.
For several months now, I have taken up this vocation again, at home with my own upright piano, as well as at the students' homes.

My work as a fashion stylist has also allowed me to support around a hundred interns, freelancers or employees, aged 13 to 30 and to strengthen my adaptability and inclusive communication. A teaching training in London to consolidate this knowledge.

The guitar is a commonly played instrument across the globe. It has traveled and transformed over the centuries, and is at the heart of diverse cultures and musical traditions around the world.
The guitar, whether electric, folk, classical... can be played in various ways, and we instinctively feel the desire to approach certain styles that inspire us in order to nourish and build our own playing!
This is what I experienced through my musical journey as an autodidact, as well as through professional training, and today I wish to pass this on.

I teach in English, so it's a plus if you need help with the language or English phrases!

I also teach you how to create your own compositions on guitar and piano, and how to make them more original with interesting chord changes. And, of course, I can also teach you how to write songs that sound good in English.

I'm a British singer-songwriter and producer based in New York City. I've written over 100 songs and perform regularly in New York City. In 2023, I was selected for a three-month artist residency in Memphis, Tennessee, where I composed a wide range of new material, from dark, introspective folk to energetic indie rock.

Hello! 🎹

I offer private piano lessons in contemporary, jazz, and pop music styles. A graduate of the DEM Jazz program at the Lyon Conservatory, I taught piano in music schools for seven years. I also have classical piano training at the conservatory, having started playing the piano at the age of five.

I offer a course tailored to the student's tastes and level, but I'm mainly looking for students who already know how to play the piano a little. I don't necessarily practice music theory, or I incorporate it into the practice if necessary.

Don't hesitate if you have any questions ☺️
Hope to meet you,
See you soon !

Lessons are tailored to the individual's profile and their goal in learning the instrument.

The instrument in the service of music: using an instrumental support to awaken one's musical curiosity, to better understand music and the codes of a piece, a standard or a sound.
The preparation: learning the basics of learning the instrument in a technical way but with a little music theory in order to prepare for entry into a conservatory.
Playing in a group: knowing how to play in an ensemble and learning the codes of the orchestra or a group by developing the ear through the recognition of structure, rhythm and chords.
Harmony and improvisation: learning to improvise or harmonize, whether in jazz or pop music.
