Private music theory lessons by professional singer qualified in music theory and piano

From 30 € /h

I introduce myself:
Classical singer, professional soloist, good level pianist,
graduated from conservatories
- from Toulouse: 1st prize for singing / 2nd prize for music theory and sight reading
- from Paris (CNSM) Certificates of musical and vocal culture and piano - singers

On the sidelines, then after a career as a lyrical artist in Paris (Opéra Comique/Théâtre Mogador/Espace Cardin, in the RTLN theaters (including Capitole de Toulouse) and abroad (Switzerland/Belgium/Mauritius) I I have been focused on teaching (singing, beginner piano, music theory) for around 25 years.
Experience with children / adults, amateurs / professionals, singers / instrumentalists
I teach traditional music theory which differs from FM (Musical Training), I briefly explain here the differences, the interest and the advantages.
It is based on tonal music, the progressive study of tones and not intervals outside tonal context.
It recommends the separate acquisition of its various components: rhythm, reading notes, intonation
it results in these well-integrated bases, sung sight reading and written dictation

Why work on music theory as a subject in its own right?
Because, in a course "piano / violin / vocals / clarinet ... + music theory", and as I myself have experienced, the pupil and the teacher, accomplices, always favor the instrument and the learning music theory is done in homeopathic doses. The study of the instrument is nevertheless also slowed down because of the multiple interruptions caused by ignorance of music theory.
I am not suggesting that you "get rid" of music theory because its study, contrary to its reputation, is very interesting. But to diversify the difficulties that you encounter: those relating to the instrumental technique and those due to music theory.

I accompany you on the piano and introduce you to the keyboard. A mini-keyboard allows you to work on your intonation at home also following my instructions.
If the level allows it, I also do instrumental and vocal music theory: music theory applied to the study of your pieces, analyzed, deciphered and accompanied on the piano.
Levels: for more precision, up to level "medium 2"
I recommend a weekly frequency (except possibly school holidays), essential for the effectiveness of the course, as well as a minimum personal work at home.

About Me

During my career as a lyrical artist I started to teach singing, piano (beginners) and music theory in private lessons.
I of course developed this activity after the end of my official career. (I remain active as a singer, however, outside of the big stages ...)
I had great encounters while carrying out this activity, some students having stayed with me for many years.
The teaching that I offer is not "fun", I ask for regularity, concentration, availability of a minimum of working time at home in addition to the course. All this does not prevent good humor and cheerfulness. I am both very demanding and infinitely patient. Are you wrong? ... that's what you are here for, this is how you learn, so don't apologize!

Vocal technique lessons by professional soloist

36 € /h

I offer singing lessons to students from beginner to initiated levels.
My classes are centered on the work of the voice, the formation of the instrument. The work of the repertoire will only be approached very gradually.
Even if you are not attracted by the lyrical repertoire, the discovery of your new vocal possibilities will open up unsuspected horizons for you, both to sing what you like and to gain confidence on a general level.
If you are attracted to lyrical singing, you will begin in the best conditions. "Chi va piano va sano."

You can read my profile on this site and also listen to me on YouTube (Fiorella tune, Offenbach's "les Brigands").

Why choose me as a teacher?
I am a real pro.
I have stage experience and teaching experience.
I follow you in music theory and accompany you, you do not need to go to other teachers to complete your teaching.
And finally I am very patient and not intimidating. I know that singing is a very intimate process!

Marine

I am a graduate student of the medal of solfège of the conservatoire I can give courses for all ages and all levels. I can either take the music theory program from the very beginning or provide support classes, either rhythmically or in harmony.

Sergi

My methodology is fully adapted to the student's needs. The methods vary depending on whether they want to learn to compose or play classical piano, or whether they want to play jazz, pop music, etc.
The important thing to understand is that in order to get the most out of the classes, you also need to practice on your own at home. This way, you can spend time together improving aspects of language, performance, technique, etc.
