I'm a professional harpist from France, passionate about the harp since I'm a child, it would be a pleasure to share and help you to learn more about this beautiful instrument.
I taught 8 years when I was living in Belgium and I always loved sharing my knowledge about the harp with my student. I like the lessons to be enjoyable by a fun and engaging way in order to make my students achieve their goals, and build a strong basis to help them grow and expand their musicality.

I am a graduate of the Royal College of Music in London, where I lived since 2009.

Individual lessons enables me to tailor and adapt my teaching to every pupil's needs; helping them to learn the repertoire or skills that each individual requires. I cover styles such as classical, contemporary, pop, jazz and film music.

I have prepared and entered pupils entry exams/auditions of conservatoires and music colleges of Spain and Europe as well as for composition competitions as I have won more then 30 awards myself and have been adjudicator of some composition competitions. I was also a professor in the Music faculty at Madrid's 'University Centre TAI', the Trinity Music Academy in London and The Conservatoire of Barcelona

Hi!

It's Álvaro from Spain. I'm a pianist and composer focused on jazz and improvisation. I studied at Manhattan School of Music and currently play and record with my bands around New York and Europe, having 4 albums released as a leader.
After years of teaching experience, I direct my classes to ear training, harmony, and developing your intuition as an improviser. We can also work on sightreading or more technical issues. I teach at my own rehearsal space in Manhattan or I can also go visit you.
Online lessons available

I teach violin and viola lessons with the aim of improving technique, musicality, and interest in the instrument. Learning a string instrument can be challenging, but I believe it is also one of the most rewarding endeavors you can undertake.

I focus on sound production and facility of the instrument, and try to make sure that every student is learning repertoire that helps them and interests them.

Learn to record, produce, and mix your own music at a professional level!
Students will get instruction and training on using top Digital Audio Workstations such as: Pro Tools, Logic, and Digital Performer. Other topics covered in this program include: signal routing, midi programming, audio editing, meter changes, time-stretch, pitch-adjustment, tempo manipulation, and arranging techniques to name a few, and mixing concepts such as using panning, EQ, compression, gating, FX, and more! These professional methods and tricks are the very same used by the pro's to give their tracks that polished, radio-ready sound!

I am now offering piano and violin lessons for beginners and intermediate students including kids, teens and adults. I use a student-centred pedagogy to help students reach their individual goals, whether they want to learn a classical repertoire or their favourite tunes from movies, musicals, etc. On top of that, I teach theory, improvisation, and various mindfulness and embodiment tools that cultivate technical and performance skills. I have a bachelors in psychology and violin performance from York University in Canada. In addition, I also have experience working with neurodiverse populations and low-vision populations-I am both:)

• Spanish Guitar Classes:

Over time I have learned to appreciate the Spanish guitar like a small orchestra.

- Lead guitar.
- Guitar arranged to accompany.

Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level

All ages.

• Harmony:

The three fundamental pillars of music are: melody, harmony and rhythm.

I make this selection of harmony because this is the structure on which a melodic line relies to build a soundscape.

Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level

All ages.

• Composition:

The musician must compose both when interpreting existing music and to create new one.

It is the form of expression that allows us to be sincere and show the landscapes that contain our soul and our heart.

Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level

All ages.

• Arrangements:

Once we have all the material for a composition (our own or not); we must recreate the soundscape that we want to express by choosing the instrumentation, texture, and entrances and exits of each musical phrase.

Basic / Intermediate / Advanced Level

All ages.

• Assembly:

It is important when arranging a composition (our own or not) that we take into account teamwork, seeing it as a map of subjective possibilities that each instrumentalist contributes to the whole.

How do you learn and what are your goals in learning music? I aim to make learning music as interesting and accessible as possible. I use a scaffolded approach to teaching that pairs physically sustainable playing techniques (Alexander Technique) with built-upon previous knowledge and interests. I hold MM and BM degrees from New York University and The University of Iowa and studied with Melissa White and Gregory Fulkerson for the entirety of my Masters of Music at New York University.
I am a violinist and violist currently living and working in New York City. I have played in such venues as Lincoln Center Summer Stages, Carnegie Hall, Duomo di Orvieto, among others. I grew up playing bluegrass with my parents and now genre-hop among traditional classical music, contemporary classical, pop, singer-songwriter, musical theater, jazz, avant-garde, and folk. For these reasons and more, I enjoy tailoring the repertoire and technique education to the student's goals and interests. I have taught 3 year olds, elementary kids, high schoolers, college students, and adult learners, and enjoyed all within the age range for various reasons.

*Development of competencies*

Violin/viola students will learn a wide range of musical repertoire from popular children's songs to classical works. In the classes they will learn how to hold the instrument, the care of the viola/violin, and what is involved in playing it, where they will be given the technical musical tools to develop their maximum potential in order to play the violin with a pleasant, grandiloquent sound and enjoy each note through the stroke of the bow on the strings.

As a beginner, we envelope the simple factors that go into making a beautiful piece, and find ways to feel confident within our selves and our playing skills. Starting from scratch and building the foundation of your playing is crucial during this era of learning, and with constant practice, time, and patience, we can overcome any obstacle in music together.

Students in intermediate/advanced classes will have a heavier workload and more commitment to their lessons as well as tasks provided afterwards such as to-do lists and practice logs. These students are to be prepared 100% of the time with preparing their repertoire prior to the lesson, and maintaining their practice log accordingly.

Music is a beautiful thing that today can be anything from a brief escape from reality, to a passion, to a hobby to enjoy. I help people learn about all types of music, and aid them in forging their own relationship with it. Experienced in many different genres and styles, I seek to expand people's musical views and show them that regardless of who you are, where you're from and what you do, music can be whatever you want it to be for you, and it's my job to help you figure out what that is and find what your passion in music is.

Unlock the power of music by learning how to play the piano. Personalized piano lessons including: reading sheet music; playing and understanding scales, and how to use them in music; understanding of chords and harmony; and basic ear training. Welcoming all ages 7+ regardless of prior experience.
