Strategic Chess Lessons: From First Move to Tournament Play

152.17 C$ /h

Chess is easy to learn and a lifetime to master- let's skip ahead. Whether you've never moved a pawn or you're chasing your next rating jump, these lessons sharpen the way you think, not just the way you play.

We'll work on the tactics that win games, the patterns grandmasters see instantly, and the quiet positional ideas that decide the rest. Your games become the textbook — every loss is a lesson, every win a clue.

Online or in person. Bring a board, or just your curiosity.

Would you like to learn how to play piano? Or have you already started, but don't know how to proceed? You are in a good place! I am a passionate piano teacher and my goal is to prove that everybody can play and enjoy making music.

Main factors of my lessons are: individual approach, inspiring and positive atmosphere and full involvement in the process of development of my student. I believe the key to success is not “talent”, it’s rather the inspiring
influence of the teacher and his/her positive approach that allows the student to make mistakes and turn them into opportunities. Teaching piano is very special and important to me, because it allows me to share my biggest passion and the experience that I gained through many years of my education.

I started playing piano in the age of 6. I graduated from Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw (Poland) and also studied in Frost School of Music in Miami. I have been teaching in a music school as well as privately. Currently I teach in the International Swiss School in Wollishofen and Lakeside School Horgen.

The program will be tailored according to the student goals. (leisure, professional development) focusing on; basic knowledge of the guitar, basic chords and more advanced chords, scales and modes, theory and practice of improvisation, study of a repertoire, right hand technique (fingers or pick), music theory and rhythm, Logic Pro X, basic sound engineering and music production techniques and songwriting skills.

An understanding of what are the goals and interests of student, as well as their skills is the most effective way to pass on knowledge.

With me, you will prevent these types of problems from happening to you. I will teach you accordingly to the repertoire you want to play, solving technical problems in the music.

It's going to be a pleasure helping you. See you soon in our class!

My lessons are aimed at people of all ages and levels who enjoy music in all its facets – from classical to jazz, pop/rock, blues and folk to improvisation.
I recently completed my Master's degree in Music Education and have over five years of teaching experience. I tailor each lesson to the individual interests and goals of my students. Together, we define personal learning objectives, which we work towards step by step – in the areas of technique, ear training, and music theory as the unifying language of music.
Lessons are available in German, English, or Arabic. I look forward to accompanying you on your musical journey and discovering the world of the clarinet together!

My name is Marie and I'm originally from Paris. I began my music studies at the age of 5 and then studied flute with F. Chatoux, the principal flutist of the Paris Opera. After receiving the highest study award at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris from N. Rozat, I joined P. Grehl's class in music at the HSLU Lucerne in the summer of 2018. In the summer of 2021, I completed my bachelor's degree with Pirmin Grehl in Lucerne and am currently completing my music education studies at
Pirmin Grehl with a minor in orchestra under Sarah Rumer. I have won first prize twice in national competitions in France and Switzerland.

I would like to pass on my passion and skills to everyone who wants to play this wonderful instrument, whether to support the teacher at the conservatory or for your own enjoyment.
I adapt to each individual's personality, their musical wishes for the repertoire and their goals.
I will accompany you as far as you wish, with fun with music, hard work and a good mood!

I have 10 years of experience in being a music instructor. That's not only piano lessons, it's also a theory of music, history of music, and vocal and orchestral projects.

I've worked with students from all around the world - most of them attended the American School of Warsaw and the British School of Warsaw. The idea is not only to teach how to play the right notes and to know the main composers, but I also want my students to feel the music, to be able to find out what the idea of an art piece is. It is also very important for me to encourage a child to find his own style of playing. From my point of view, there are no people deaf to music, just people who aren’t acquainted with music, till now!

It is well known that music classes are not only pleasant but as well music classes are very helpful and important in a child’s education and development. Kids who play instruments learn languages faster and more productively, focus better, and it has been shown to perform better in math and science. My own experience and that of my students show me that music has a positive effect on a student's overall education results.

Moreover, music is not just an art, it is the language of the soul, waiting to speak for your child's feelings and moods.

I have been teaching piano for the past 7 years. I started tutoring piano as a side hustle when I was 16 years old and it ended up turning into the most wonderful achievement I have ever done. Over the past 7 years, I have had the pleasure of teaching children from beginners to the final exam on ABRSM.

In my classes, I tend to focus on preparing the student so they are able to take the ABRSM grades and earn a qualification at the end of it. However, each class varies, the focus of each class is to get you to your goals and help you achieve them. Each lesson is personalized and tailored to you.

Guitar course for children and teenagers
This course is ideal for children and young people and has five main objectives:

Learn Chords: You will learn basic and advanced chords that will give you a strong foundation for playing the guitar.

Developing a sense of rhythm: We work on developing a good sense of rhythm so that you can play your favorite songs in time and with feeling.

Mastering Fingerstyle Techniques: Instead of using a pick, you'll learn to play with your fingers. This method will help you develop a more expressive and versatile playing style.

Practicing Arpeggios: We practice fingerstyle arpeggios to get beautiful, clear sounds out of your guitar.

Reading and Playing Melodies: You will learn to read and play melodies, which will help you express yourself musically and experience the joy of making music.

Our method
Instead of just doing technical exercises, we use songs and pieces that interest you. This makes learning both more fun and effective, and you'll see faster progress.
