The first minutes will be focused on the theory (in English, French or both if asked), and some culture of the western music. Then we will practise on the instrument. The program is free, the student can bring any sheets he wants. He will be advised on the manuel technic (how to place his/her hands, how to read efficiently).

About Me

Each student has their own pace and sensitivity, and I am committed to creating tailor-made lessons that fit their needs and personality—whether in music or languages, from beginner to intermediate level.

I place great importance on the fun and creative aspect of learning: quizzes, word games, visual diagrams, interactive activities... So many tools to stimulate memory, concentration and above all, the pleasure of learning.

I ensure that my classes are spaces for listening and growth, where everyone can progress at their own pace, in a supportive environment. I am comfortable teaching in both French and English, and I am always open to new ideas and approaches.

My goal: to help my students gain autonomy, confidence, and to (re)discover the joy of learning, quite simply.

Music and Piano Lessons for non french-speaking people (from mothertongue into French)

64.99 C$ /h

Even though music is universal, specific terms and method learning differ from one culture and another one. This is why I propose some individual courses of music and piano for people curions about discovering or maybe improving their artistic skills in the language of Moliere.

At the beginning of the lesson, the student will be trained by some theory, not the best part for most people. But with the help of mnemotechnic methods, those basics won't have a secret for him/her anymore ;)

Then, I will adapt the pratical part depending on the student's level...and will of course ;) He/She can bring the music piece he would like to play.

French as a Foreign Language Course (Reinforced Oral Practice)

58.32 C$ /h

Mastering the language of Molière, both beautiful and complex, is not easy even for native speakers.

This is why I offer French as a foreign language courses that are more focused on oral practice, but always coupled with a theoretical basis. I adapt to the pace and preferences of each person, on the topic of conversation that interests them.

For beginners, I suggest starting with everyday vocabulary, expressions of standard French and/or specific to the country.

For the more advanced, we can start discussions on a subject that fascinates them from their language to French.

The piano lessons that I propose are based on the pleasure of the student and the exchange between the teacher and his apprentice.

The goal is to give independence to the student, I propose courses of musical theories but also composition in all styles.

Looking forward to sharing our respective visions of art,

Charles

The piano course is divided into three parts:
- theoretical: reading a score / solfeggio (rhythm, keys, nuances ...), theory (intervals, tones, dictation, ...), history of classical music completing the program of the student.
- technical: pianistic technique adapted according to the needs of the student, according to his facilities, his weaknesses.
- musical: awareness of music in children, approaching a more complex score for more advanced young pianists, or introduction to music for adults. The program worked can be traditional traditional or adapted according to the preferences and demands of the student.

Violin is one of the most beautiful instruments in music. I teach you how to play it, how to recognize and reproduce melodies only by hearing and also teach you playing after partitions.... I will teach you a wide range of music and techniques depending on what your preferences are. My courses are structured as follow: each hour you will start with chords/ than technique exercise ( left & right hand) / working on a piece of music that corresponds to the level you want to reach next / blind hearing test to learn your ears to recognize sounds / and re-working a piece of music ...

My method is based on a freer and less academic approach than that of music theory for those who wish to develop their musical ear without prior classical knowledge (Although we will do a little bit of it anyway but in a simplified way). You will discover that it is not necessarily necessary or obligatory to know how to read a score to play music. A lot of professional musicians (Paul McCartney for example) do not know how to read notes!

I will help you get familiar with harmony and rhythm. We will learn how to compose simple and then more complex melodies and chords in all their various forms with the right hand. And we will also see how to accompany with the left hand. We will do all this from a piece of your choice (whether classical or modern that we will play in a simple way and then enrich it step by step!
