Classical and jazz saxophone lessons - Geneva and surroundings
Saxophonist graduate and teacher at the music school of Thoiry, I offer my lessons for all levels and all ages. After a double training in classical and jazz, I currently teach classical saxophone, jazz, big band and saxophone ensemble. The lessons are generally separated into two parts with a rather technical / music theory part and a more playful part where we can play duets, pieces with piano accompaniment or jazz standards. I also sometimes bring all my students together on afternoons to be able to play a saxophone ensemble, it's very educational! Classes are generally 45 minutes for the youngest (6 years old minimum) and can go up to 1:30. Do not hesitate to let me know your desires and objectives. We will see together what type of pieces suits you best. Hope to meet you !

Yes ! You read correctly ! It is possible to learn a piece easily with the saxophone. I am a saxophone teacher at the Ecole Internationale de Lausanne, at the Ecole Nouvelle of French-speaking Switzerland, and I regularly teach young students. To get their attention, you have to be creative and you have to see results in a very short time. That's why I say that I can teach you to play a piece on the saxophone in 3 lessons. So, if you want to try, I'd be happy to show you how. Marcos begins his studies at the Conservatory of Music of Tenerife. During these years, he studied professional education, specializing in music at the University of La Laguna. Then he took the top grade in the Zaragoza Conservatory of Music, where he finished with Professor Mariano García.

Saxophone lessons and music theory for all levels. Improvisation and composition possible according to the desires!
I am a saxophonist with 15 years of experience from the conservatory. I offer you the most stimulating saxophone lessons! Here is my philosophy: playing the sax is not only technical mastery, it is also knowing how to transmit emotions through your music. I therefore attach great importance to learning being pleasant for the student and corresponding to his personality and his musical tastes. Coming from the conservatory, I have a classical musical training. I also diversified with more modern genres of music like Jazz, Blues, Pop, Hip-Hop, House, Afrobeat. Here is the flow of a typical lesson: 1. Musical awakening: I always start with exercises to develop the musical ear. This includes exercises rhythm (eg body percussion), exercises in harmony and tonal recognition. 2.Music theory: A moment of theory follows. This includes music theory (reading notes). I also teach the theory of improvisation according to the student's objectives. 3. Instrumental practice: Depending on the student's preferences, instrumental practice may consist of reading sheet music or playing by ear. I could play a duet with the student on the saxophone or accompany him on the piano.

I am a lyrical singer, mezzosoprano, with a classical training. After starting my studies in Brussels, Belgium, I moved to Berlin, to study at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler. This is where I got to take lessons with some of the most important singers and pianists in the business, in such an inspiring city. After living in Berlin for 2 years, I spent 6 months in New York, before coming to Switzerland in September 2019 to finish my master's degree in lyric singing at the Haute École de Musique. Apart from my training, I have already sung recitals and festivals in Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, Brussels and Vienna.

I am especially passionate about classical music, specifically opera, but at the same time I also adore jazz, musical, and all other genres. My goal in giving singing lessons is to help you find and develop your own voice. I want to help you become as free as possible by singing, so that singing becomes even more fun and you feel able to do with your voice what YOU want to do. The primary goal in singing and making music is to have fun above all else! I work with people from all levels; if you are just curious to experiment with your voice, want to sing classical music or something completely different ... i look forward to finding out with you!
