13€My French Lessons: Support and Progression for Level Improvement
Whether your child is struggling, looking to consolidate their foundations or wants to aim for excellence, I offer personalized support adapted to their level (Primary or College) and their specific needs. 📚 Teaching Objectives and Methodology Personalized Diagnosis: Each support program begins with an initial assessment to precisely identify gaps and working methods to improve. Positive Approach: I build on the student's strengths to restore their self-confidence and transform learning French into a dynamic and enjoyable experience. Autonomy: The goal is not to do homework, but to teach clear working methods (organization, time management, revision sheets) that will make him/her autonomous. 🎒 Primary Level: Mastering the Fundamentals Emphasis is placed on acquiring the essential foundations for a successful school career. Reading and Comprehension: Fluency, decoding, and above all, understanding of texts and instructions. Grammar and Conjugation: Mastering the fundamental tenses (present, future, past perfect, imperfect) and identifying the functions in a simple sentence (subject, verb, object). Spelling and Vocabulary: Consolidation of spelling and grammar rules (agreements, homophones), enrichment of vocabulary through educational games. Written Expression: Structuring sentences and writing short texts (stories, descriptions) in a coherent manner. 🎓 Middle School Level: Structuring and Succeeding The support focuses on deepening knowledge and preparing for the requirements of the cycle. Language Improvement: Targeted refresher training in Grammar and Conjugation (subjunctive, sequence of tenses, analysis of complex sentences) to eliminate recurring errors. Writing Methodology: Learning to structure and argue: from summary to text commentary, including the essay (essential preparation for the Brevet des Collèges). Literary Analysis: Develop critical thinking and the ability to analyze the literary works in the program (reading, genres, figures of speech). Exam Preparation: Targeted training on the Brevet exams (questions on the text, dictation, rewriting, composition).

76€Composition for the Piano (incl. use of extended techniques)
Do you want to refine your composing for the piano? This course is for you. In this class we will work on a new piece of yours that includes the piano, and we will discuss about: • a short anatomy of the grand piano. • easy, difficult and unplayable passages (with normal and extended techniques). • the role of pedals on the instrument. • muscle fatigue - the importance of dense and sparse writing. • use of texture and colour. • orchestration on the instrument. Standard extended techniques - notation. • the role of the instrument in the contemporary orchestra and sinfonietta ensemble. • improvisation: dos and don'ts when writing improvised music. The piece can be an idea you had for solo piano/chamber or vocal music (with piano) and want to start composing, a solo piece you have started but you're now stuck on the technical capabilities and difficulties of the instrument, an orchestral piece that contains the piano and you need to better understand its role, or even an old piece which you want to review. Things we'll do: • I'll show you around the piano and its parts (full demonstration of the mechanism). • I'll demonstrate the use of certain extended techniques on my piano. • I'll be testing passages of your piece and give technical advice. You'll have the opportunity to test some passages from your piece as well (optional but highly encouraged). • We'll be listening to some important pieces as aid to each topic we are discussing. The pieces will be from all periods and styles. If you have a composition teacher or you are studying composition at a university: This course is BY NO MEANS a substitute to your teacher. Things like form, composition technique, harmony, style, texture etc. are up to your teacher and you. I may speak my mind on those topics as well, but my goal is not to substitute your teacher, but rather to help you with a more specialised approach to the instrument both from the side of the composer and the performer. If you don't have a composition teacher: Then I am happy to help you with composing this piece of yours. However, note that this may take more time, and we may need to discuss separately a few things about composition. Booking policy: If you want to book this course, then you must have in mind that we'll need several 60 or 90 minutes sessions to complete it. If we do one 90 minute session about one topic from the above, then we certainly need 8-10 sessions to complete the course. So if you are planning for us to talk about everything above, note that fact and plan accordingly (both in terms of schedule and finances). You may as well choose to do a selection from the topics above, or even ask me to show you something else and if I can I will. What I want though is a clear plan, a clear goal for this course, so that I'll cater it to your individual needs. I kindly ask that if you plan on doing the whole course to book it in advance. I also have a quite difficult schedule as an active musician, so we need to be accurate on our scheduling and don't change it all the time. I also reserve the right to deny an application due to time constraints. Sessions will be scheduled on a weekly basis (once a week), and this is for two reasons: 1. I want to be able to provide the best experience for you by planning the lessons to my best capacity, and 2. You will need time to study and work on your piece. All sessions are booked and paid in advance. Cancelling policy: • If any of us gets sick, then we may cancel a session and postpone it for the next time (provided we are in good health). • Hospitalisation and serious health conditions may lead us to cancel several sessions. In that case, paid sessions are "frozen" indefinitely (until we get well) and (in great need) refunded. However, to refund those sessions I'll need to see at least some verification from the hospital. • If you are booking several sessions in advance, you may lose one or two sessions and we'll postpone it for the next time, but no more than two. The third session lost will be paid as an extra session. You'll need to notify me for the lost sessions at least 2 days in advance. • The same works in the opposite way: I may lose a session or two, but no more than two. If I lose a third, then I'll owe you an extra session free of charge. However, I reserve the right to cancel a course completely (see below). • If you are booking one lesson and you don't show up in the first 15 minutes or notify me of your absence, then the lesson is cancelled and not refunded. • For many reasons, I'll may need to cancel the whole course with you. Sometimes people just aren't on the same wavelength, sometimes work or life gets to us, sometimes you may need a more capable teacher etc. If I cancel with you, then I will need to refund the sessions we didn't do. HOWEVER, if you don't show up and not notify me for two sessions or more, then I will not refund you for the lost sessions. I will reach out and give you a "last chance" to show up to a final session, and if you won't show up I'll automatically consider the course with you cancelled and not refund the remaining sessions. Dos and don'ts: I want this to be a safe space, where we'll be exchanging views and sharpening our tools. I like to behave accordingly and be calm and just talk and present something I love. However, I will need to talk about some things with some authority, and I need space from you to do so. So, snickering, whining, interrupting and being toxic in general isn't for me. If something bothers me, I will express it, and I also want for you to do the same. Finally, I teach (high) intermediate level or advanced, meaning that some things will be considered given and known. You must know -for example- to read score, sometimes complex, you must know at least some harmony and counterpoint and have a clear goal as a composer. I don't judge your stylistic choices, my goal is to help you widen your pallet, but you need to be at a certain knowledge level to keep up. So when you reach out to me to book a lesson you also need to send me a couple of your pieces, complete with score (or if they are improvisational you must note it). Based on them we'll proceed (again, not stylistic choice but based on your knowledge level). Thank you for reading this, happy to work with you!
