Buongiorno!

Currently a student at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève-Neuchâtel, I offer cello lessons for all ages and all levels. After a period of learning pedagogy for children in Italy, I got into the habit of working with them and building a relationship of trust as well as an adapted course.

Learning an instrument always requires patience and motivation (children are more easily passionate which makes learning faster and easier). In terms of patience, I learned to vary the teaching methods and to involve parents in the process. Thus it allows to better mix the artistic, technical and fun sides of the training.

Do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or additional information!

Buongiorno a tutti!
My name is Lucia, I'm 21 and I'm from Sicily! I am a cellist by profession but for four years I have also been teaching my mother tongue (Italian) via webcam. I offer courses specific to the student's requests, their availability and desires!
My 12-lesson basic training course, depending on your learning objective, will enable you to express yourself correctly in key situations of daily life and in emergency situations - perfect for those who are simply trying to s express during a trip to Italy!
For a greater number of lessons, therefore a longer learning period, the nature of the course becomes more in-depth: lessons in grammar, syntax, vocabulary and creative writing.
All this, of course, according to your requests and your objectives.
The Skype format is in no way an obstacle, on the contrary, it will allow you to organize your course more peacefully, even between two commitments, without having to move from one place to another in the city. Two years ago, I changed my teaching methods and my students did not suffer from it at all!

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers, available all year round.


TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

You will find a benevolent setting where you can try, start again, make mistakes, without judgment and with pleasure.
No prerequisites for getting started. Your rhythm will be respected as well as the style and choice of repertoire you want to work on: pop, current music, musical or classical singing.

Come fearlessly with your questions and your desires!

Individual lessons for teenagers / adults

- Technical work: breath, voice development through exercises adapted to the level and profile of each
- Work on a piece from the repertoire: Putting technical work into practice on a piece chosen by the practitioner or by teaching for educational reasons. This moment also allows you to develop the learning of music theory if necessary.
Objective: to be able to sing a piece while being comfortable with the accompaniment so that interpretation and pleasure predominate.

Semi-private lessons

For all ages, levels or tessitura. Form your small group (mixed or not) to do a group singing workshop!

- Technical collective work. General approach to singing but also adapted to the needs of each one via bodywork and vocal warm-up.
- The course is adapted according to the needs and desires of the group. However, I suggest two ways of working:
o Soloist work: each participant brings a piece they wish to work on. Personalized working time that allows other participants to develop listening skills and learn by watching. We help each other, we advise each other with respect and kindness.
o Choral work: Singing in several voices is an important part of singing and helps to broaden the repertoire. Work a capella or with the accompaniment of a piece with several voices in order to develop listening to the other, create one and the same voice with several, open up and decomplex!

No need to know how to read music! As a choir director, I developed learning tools to allow non readers to work their scores on their own.

Musical awakening course from 4 years old.

We discover in this workshop the sounds, the rhythms, the instruments. We dance, we sing, we have fun, we learn by playing!

- Listening: Recognition of basic rhythms, learning of notes and different sound universes
- Fingerboard: Body percussion and practice of small instruments
- Breathe: Simple breathing exercise to discover the instrument body.
- Sing: whisper, shout, sing! We explore all possibilities from the spoken voice to the sung voice
- Play: through games you learn without realizing it!

I offer individual lessons of 30 min for children between 4 and 7 years old. It is also possible to form small groups to take a sibling or a group already formed. The course time can be adapted according to the desire of the child or the size of the group formed.

Musical awakening lessons from 7 years old

Music lessons where we develop the basics of musical awakening.
The child is better able to learn more complex rhythms as well as songs sung in one or two voices. We develop our ear, our voice always with pleasure and having fun!
