If your child does not like mathematics or has difficulty, this may be due to a learning method that is unsuited to his psycho-cognitive profile. I offer a simple and personalized pedagogical approach that will allow him to easily understand and shed light on the still obscure and locked areas of his natural analytical skills. With fifteen years of teaching experience, as well as a solid knowledge of psychology and fundamental pedagogy, I am able to quickly detect the factors limiting students' abilities and provide them with the tools and methods necessary to find confidence and motivation, even in the most difficult cases. I specialized in supporting primary and secondary school students. In parallel with my tutoring classes, I also practice and teach violin, piano and music theory. The requirements and analytical skills necessary for musical practice are similar to those required for success in science and mathematics in particular. Albert Einstein himself was a talented violinist. Holder of a license and a diploma at Master II level, I also hold two baccalaureates: a technical baccalaureate in music and a scientific baccalaureate (with honors and very good). During the mathematics specialty test, I obtained a mark of 21/20. Why did the proofreader decide to give me a grade higher than 20/20? Because he judged that my qualities of editorial clarity, presentation and demonstrative rigor were of a university level, which can be explained by the fact that I had already studied the program of preparatory classes for the Grandes Ecoles. My work was therefore considered more deserving than the few other 20/20 graded copies in which there were no errors. Give your child the opportunity to highlight the qualities he already has in order to regain the positive appreciation of his teachers, to develop his full potential and to open the doors himself to a future he deserves. Looking forward to sharing a first lesson together! Charles

I also have a good knowledge of the jazz scene and current music (Jazz in Marciac, France Television, American Public Television...) in major concert halls around the world and the main international festivals.

Trombone class on Paris (classical jazz funk fanfare carnival groove reggae improvisation free)
My methodology Thanks to my many teachers, I have developed a pedagogy based on control and ease, instrument and breath, which is very good for people with asthma or breathing problems. And thanks to my atypical and eclectic course I try to adapt myself better to the expectations of my students. The goal is to achieve a smooth and flexible precision, setting goals for all levels and for all styles: classical, jazz, variety, funk, carnival, free ... For beginners, I give introductory lessons to music through piano, guitar, small percussion and singing. I teach for over 10 years and I practice trombone in various orchestras and groups (symphonic, jazz, electro, reggae, ska, rock, funk, pop, French song, carnival, zouk, compass, biguine) My musical background After having started the classical trombone at the age of 8 at the conservatory of the center of Paris and at the conservatory Hector Berlioz (Xeme) with Jean Rafard as teacher, Philippe Defurne I studied jazz and improvisation at the Xeme conservatory with Pascal Gaubert and Daniel Casimir as well as with Glenn Ferris at the Master Class at the CRR in Paris. Obtaining the first prize of the CRR of Paris in the class of Jacques Mauger and the CFEM of Musical Training in the classes of JP Despax and M Labrousse. I also studied ancient music (saqueboute) with JJ Herbin and musical writing in the class of JM Bardez. All styles of music attract me, so I am trombonist and arranger for very eclectic bands ranging from rock, gypsy jazz through funk, carnival music or French song. (EXILE ONE, IGIT, Antoine Herve, Blitz the Ambassador, FFF, Gwada Circus, JP Marthely (Kassav), Richard Birman, Chiktaye, Kreyol Star, Gimbo all stars, Laurie Darmon, Panoramic Project, In the Canopy, Mrs Good, Lylas Concept, Mysticism, Sonke, Lyrocati, Jassandbazz, Arnold, the Mandingue Zebras, Ras Smaila ...)

Nadia
piano lessons at home or at home
State-certified pianist, I invite you to discover the piano or to improve your instrument practice. You will be able to play a vast repertory and follow a teaching which aims a progression adapted to your rhythm. This with an open mind and an active pedagogy. Reading and deciphering approached clearly and resulting in perceived results in a very short time, you can have autonomy to start a piece.

Nicola
Classical Piano / Jazz lessons, music theory and harmony.
We will study piano and music theory through the practice of technique with the training and relaxation of hands and arms. Then we will study a piece of music of your choice (depending on your level) and discover all the harmonic and interpretive aspects. This methodology is not fixed but adapts to your objectives and your wishes. During the class, I will let you play the piano most of the time to familiarize yourself with the instrument. Finally, I will help you train your musical ear.

Giorgia
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.

Denise
Singing classes for all age students and different vocal styles (pop, folk or classical) Online or Offline in Vienna
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I hope to read from you soon and to make music together. All my best, Denise P.S. My schedule is mostly a suggestion since I'm constantly editing and adapting to a work schedule, please feel free to send me a message regarding your schedule needs and suggestions in order to give you the best service.

Apollonia Maria
Beginner to Advanced Lessons for Guitar Players for all ages
After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning. I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc. For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!) Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other! One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it. I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before. The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶
The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

Solfege & Oriental Solfege: Quarter Note - Rast, Bayet, Siga, Kord, Hijaz, Ajam, Nahawand - Major & Minor Scales
With over 8 years of experience as a Solfege, Oriental Solfege, Oud, and Oriental singing teacher, I am a Lebanese musician currently residing in Mönchengladbach, Germany. I honed my skills for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. Prior to my relocation, I taught at Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and also held private music lessons. As a concertmaster, I performed with the oriental orchestra "Loubnan Assalam" for over 5 years. My move to Germany was motivated by my pursuit of graduate studies at the University of Kamp-Lintfort. Fluent in English, Couramment en français, ولغتي الأم هي اللغة العربية. Aber leider spreche Ich ein bisschen Deutsch. Solfege, the foundation of music theory, is an essential tool for any musician who wishes to understand and create music. It provides a way to identify and communicate notes, intervals, and rhythms, and it is the key to developing musical literacy. In this class, you will delve into the world of scales, exploring the unique characteristics of Western and Oriental scales. We will study the following scales: Rast, Bayet, Siga, Kord, Hijaz, Ajam, Nahawand- Major & Minor Scales. In addition to these Western and Oriental scales, we will also introduce you to the quarter note, which is not traditionally found in Western music. It is a quarter note with a unique and distinct sound. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, this class will provide you with the knowledge you need to use scales effectively for improvisation, singing, and playing any instrument. With this knowledge, you will be able to: * Read and write music (dictation) in solfège notation for both Western and Oriental scales. * Identify and communicate notes accurately in the context of various musical traditions. * Develop a deeper understanding of music theory and rhythmic concepts. * Infuse your musical performances with a broader range of expressive possibilities. We will use the book "المقامات الشرقية by Georges Farah" as the main reference for our study of Oriental solfège. This book is considered the best book in the Middle East to teach Oriental Solfège. Discover the power of solfège to enhance your musical skills and open up a world of new possibilities!
