Drum lessons for beginner and intermediate students.

Teacher having followed the course of the Broye conservatory with Professor Jean Luc Lavanchy for 8 years, member of several Metal groups having toured both in Switzerland and abroad, I offer these services in order to discover or develop the passion for drums, the study of rhythm and musical composition.

The course is intended primarily playful and interactive. We will therefore define together the objectives that YOU care about. (Ex: play a specific song, learn to play in a group, learn to write your own songs, etc.)

The study of rhythm is via a course support (Syncopation for The Modern Drummer by Ted Reed) strongly recommended to have all the weapons to work efficiently at home!

The course is held on electronic drum, which allows a detailed and precise listening. That's why, if you have a good headphone, you can take it with you. Otherwise, you will be loaned one for the duration of the course.

As a Master’s student in medical biology, I have been playing piano and guitar for 18 years. I can explain to you the musical theory that allows you to understand a piece on which you want to improvise or to understand the idea behind the composition of a piece. I can find you the chords of any song or piece and I have examples of songs whose chords search is particularly interesting. I can teach you classical music and jazz.
I use a piano that provides an automated and complete accompaniment, that is to say that we can play as with a band with a drummer and musicians of any style. This is very convenient.
I also have recordings of impro funk or hip-hop patterns that are what you might call "fire" to learn to improvise with pleasure.
I took classes at the school of jazz and current music for about ten years and had some bands, concerts and jams at the university. I was also a member of the Lausanne University Choir.
For many years, I made self-taught classical music in parallel with jazz lessons.

Hello,

My name is Marco, and I invite you to pass on my passion for the guitar, and more broadly for music.

Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians...

My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

To achieve this, my main tool, as in music, will be listening.
Listening to you, understanding what you dream of achieving, then helping you get there, this is my method. So my experience and my knowledge will allow us to approach the styles that interest you: Songs, Pop, Rock, Folk, Fingerstyle, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Bossa nova, Samba... as much as to accompany you in your own creations .

So during our first session we will discuss the artists and guitarists who are close to our hearts. If you already know songs, you can play them for me, easily, without stress, and for the most advanced among you, it will even be an opportunity to jam.

Whether it's for you or your child, whether you're a student or a retiree, I'm interested in all profiles, because everyone can have fun learning to play the guitar.

See you soon !

Marco

Laurine
Passionate about the violin, with 17 years of practice behind months, I now propose to transmit music. A graduate of the Conservatoire Régional de Grenoble (DEM, France), I have many orchestras, chamber music projects and competitions in my baggage.
I listen to the student to choose the pieces and the learning format that corresponds to him. Very adaptable and enthusiastic, I will propose musical projects in line with the student's expectations (group music, single piece, from any era and any style). Also graduated in Music Training (music theory), I can also provide my support in this learning. For the little ones, I can do musical awakening, the animation of workshops.
I play classical, jazz, and world music. I also sing. Curious, I like to discover and share new styles and songs!

I am open to different types of pedagogy and approach to music (leisure as a requirement), the whole thing is to choose with the student and that it remains in the benevolent sharing of music!
I am of course at your disposal if you wish to make contact or meet me.

I teach with a solid classical base (position, left/right hand technique) while giving the student basics of harmony (chords, song accompaniment), improvisation (scales, blues, etc.) and solo (polyphonic) or duo pieces. I am open to all proposals from the student.

You will learn to listen and play according to your desires and your progress, the priority of my teaching is the pleasure of music and artistic creativity as well as the foundation of a solid and healthy technique at the service of it.

I would be delighted to give you lessons, in all styles, adapted to all levels. I would also be happy to meet you over coffee to talk more about it. As for me, after a bachelor's degree in piano and a master's degree in international soloist, I am doing my second master's degree in piano pedagogy at the Haute École de Musique in Geneva. I have been giving piano lessons for 4 years, doing replacements at the Geneva and Friborg conservatories, with great pleasure. I'm happy to send it to you ;)

I base my lessons on the alliance between learning music theory and practicing the instrument. This allows for more interactive teaching.
My lessons are usually 1 hour long; or even 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the relative intensity of each person. I am demanding with my students but without pressure. I want to teach this discipline to make it a passionate discipline.
I am a student in a double music-studies course.
I started music when I was 5 and participated in international competitions. I had the honor of participating in important regional concerts in France and Tunisia. Having obtained 2 diplomas recognized by the Royal Schools of Music, I want to pursue my passion which is to teach ambitious young people and to make them as passionate as me.

This course is aimed at beginners, with or without mastery of music writing. It will be possible to cover:
- The basics of writing music, melodic (notation of pitches and rhythms on the staff) and harmonic (notation of chords);
- The basics of classical and/or jazz harmony: notations, chord compositions, chord functions, modulations, etc.
- Questions of form: what structure should you give to your piece? What are the "classic" forms? How to start/finish a piece?

The course will be structured between:
- on the one hand, the rereading of work composed by the student, in order to suggest avenues for development;
- on the other hand, the teaching of the necessary or desired tools from the list above.


My profile :

I have been studying for a year in the "Performer Jazz" bachelor's degree in transverse flute at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne. With 20 years of instrumental practice, I began composing on my own by discovering computer-assisted music as a teenager. I then developed a more "written" composition style (on score) over the past 6 years during my studies at the Grenoble Conservatory (France). I obtained a Diploma of Musical Studies there rewarding 5 years of harmony and writing "in styles" which allowed me to appropriate the classical, baroque, romantic styles, of Fauré and Debussy, Bartok and Bill Evans. I also took free composition classes for 5 years.
My experiences include the musical setting of a feature film for a piano-flute duo, the composition of pieces for solo piano, for chamber music ensembles, for small orchestras, for jazz quartet and septet.

I studied in Italy at the Conservatory of Music in Pesaro and I finished my piano studies with the maximum points. Currently I have a duo with a violinist and we play regularly in concert and at the same time I teach and transmit my passion to those who want to learn it.
I taught for 3 years in Rome in public and private music schools and currently I teach at the International School of Geneva.
My students have often participated in piano competitions and have always achieved excellent results.

My lessons are adapted according to the progress and desires of each student.
The duration of the lessons is not standard because I make sure that the student does not finish without having fully understood the topics explained during the lesson. A part of music theory and solfeggio is planned.

A passionate musician and experienced teacher, I have been teaching saxophone for over ten years in various conservatories and schools in France, Belgium, and Switzerland. Trained at the HEMU in Lausanne, the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and the HKB in Bern, I have acquired solid expertise in performance and pedagogy.

My artistic journey has led me to prestigious stages, from the Jazz in Marciac festival to the DAM Festival in Kosovo, via major Swiss events such as Paléo, Cully Jazz or Verbier.

These experiences enrich my teaching and allow me to convey a vibrant and open vision of music. Patience, listening, and adaptability are at the heart of my method: each student progresses within a structured framework, but always in connection with their desires and curiosities.

My ambition is to inspire everyone to create, share and flourish through music, whether they aim for the stage or personal enjoyment.
