Saxophone, percussion or piano lessons for versatile music skills

My name is Torjus and I want to teach your children or yourself piano and saxophone. I am a generalist, more than a specialist, so that way I can teach basics in many areas. We can do techniques, practicing techniques, music theory, ear training, sight reading, playing together. I do mostly classical and rhytmical music and also a little jazz. The lessons are adapted to your skill level, and we will also talk about how you can help yourself get better.

I have a over 10 years of experience with teaching children and youths, but adults are also welcome. If you want to know more about me, check out "About me" further down.

I have only taught kids and youths, but adults are also welcome. Kids up to 10 years: 30 minutes. Youths 10-15 years old: up to 45 minutes. Adolescents/adults 16 and up: from 30 to 60 minutes.

I speak English well, but I can also use French to teach basics, as I am currently learning French on level A2.

Extra information

You need your own piano or your own saxophone, with the neccessary equpment: e.g. reeds, cloths, music stand. I bring my own saxophone. After the first lesson, we will start using your own book which I will bring for you.

About Me

I am a positive, enthusiastic, sociable and kind person who believes that you can do so much more if you just believe that you can! I like getting to know people better, music, tennis, gaming and lots of other things.

With me as a teacher, you will get clear goals for your lessons, you will know what you need to do to reach these goals, and I will tell you when you are doing it right! I am a little strict when it comes to practicing, as you will get tremendously better at music and feel the accomplishment much easier if you play outside of the lessons.

I started playing the saxophone 25 years ago and picked up piano a year later and percussion four years later. Today I am a trained teacher, and I am in Montpellier to learn french. I come from Norway, and I really enjoy this beautiful city!

Percussions and rhythms of the world // Musical awakening // MAO
The world of rhythm and drums from around the world attracts you... you are a novice or want to improve your skills, you are looking for workshops in private lessons or in groups,... Welcome! Multi-percussionist on stage and in the studio, experienced teacher and performing artist for over 25 years, I offer introductory, development and advanced modules in world percussion, for all audiences. (individual, group and internship courses) The educational objective is based initially on the acquisition of general notions in rhythmic solfege, various instrumental techniques and a repertoire of rhythmic-melodic vocabulary, subsequently supplemented by the exploration of polyrhythm and improvisation. By listening to and reproducing more or less long and complex rhythmic patterns and cells, it will be a question of acquiring all-terrain bases, of recognizing and refining one's own playing dynamics, of understanding the principle of orchestration and of opening oneself to the incredible experience of trance. Percussion lessons always involve several instruments and levels: For all levels: congas, bongos, bata drums, cajon, bendir and tär (frame drums), djembe, dundun, drums and minor percussion (accessories: shaker, triangle, karkabou... And also for novices & intermediates: Indian tablas Point essentially addressed for a musical and psycho-sensory immersion work: the roles of rhythmic instruments in contemporary, ethnic and scholarly music, and the metrics of each musical current. the strokes specific to each instrument and a playful rhythmic solfeggio (visualization, learning and interpretation of rhythmic sequences by writing and / or voicing) the poly-rythmie around current musics and world music (African, Caribbean, Indian and oriental traditions): simultaneous combination of rhythmic cells, sometimes of different size, to form a rich, well-rounded and harmonious phrase. groove and inner pulsation (or inner partition) guided improvisation and discovery of one's own interpretive fiber. orchestration or arrangement of instrument families in an orchestra. the song and the breath, the setting in voice and in space of the rhythm, to refine the sensory language of an adequate dynamic gesture. I provide on request personal work media (CDs, scores, videos). Apart from stage music, I also work for live shows (storytelling, theater, circus, pantomime, contemporary dance ...), documentary film and audio-visual. I frequently intervene in musical awakening for early and middle childhood (maternity hospitals, schools, leisure centers) and also in specialized settings (day hospitals, IME) and at home, as part of mediation actions in art. therapy. Hoping to share with you my passion for teaching and the melody of rhythm. Stéphane Musically !

I adapt to all the desires and needs of my students and adapt my method to each one.

The learning will be complete with study on musical training, on the instrument and on help with musical composition if necessary and at the request of the student.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

If you're just learning music now and it feels like there's a lot to understand, don't worry we're gonna start from the basics. I will help you understand music and its elements. With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

Voice Lessons for Young/Inexperienced Singers - Classically Focused
These lessons are for young and/or inexperienced singers. My lesson plans are tailored towards students' individual goals. For some, this may be learning and embodying an audition song for their school's upcoming theater performance, and for others voice lessons are a first step towards singing healthily in their church choir. In any case, I focus on correcting and building core skills necessary to singing one's best while encouraging and fostering creativity, accountability, and motivation. If considered for a long-term journey towards singing, I will focus particularly on classical techniques to build steady breath control, good posture, and proper vowel and consonant formation. Along with providing repertoire, if the student is ready and wants, there will be opportunities for vocal performance in the Santa Cruz area. I will encourage audio recordings in all lessons to help with future preparations. I will be assigning some homework after every lesson, likely a combination of vocalization exercises, dedicated sheet music practice, and theory homework (if needed). *My first lesson will involve getting to know the student, their goals, and some vocalization to assess vocal level. For singers with minimal/no prior foundational music theory knowledge, I may recommend time from lessons (15-30 minutes) being allocated solely towards foundational music theory learning.
