Hello,
Recently graduated with a double master's degree (master in pedagogy + master in performance) in violin at the Hochschule für Musik in Basel, I offer violin lessons.

My lessons are aimed at a wide audience of all levels (from beginners to 3rd cycle conservatory) and of all ages.

I can adapt to the needs and objectives of each student and, for example, offer additional musical training courses.
I am also open to all types of directories.

I can give lessons at my home, but also at the Hochschule in Basel or at the student's home if it is not too far away.

I am currently a teacher at the Maestri academy in Riedisheim.

I speak French, English (B2) and German (B2)

Feel free to contact me for more information.

In my career, my life is frozen, my Lust, my Motivation, and my Ratschläge, my life is erroneous. Even though the settings are individual and personal, the programs are different.

Since I have been teaching violin and music, not a day has gone by without me saying to myself that motivation and pleasure are the greatest drivers of learning. This is why I always favor a relaxed and work-friendly atmosphere during my classes. Technique is of course of great importance to me.
I teach musical initiation, music theory and the viola which I practiced in chamber music and of course the violin, my main instrument with which I perform in several orchestras and ensembles.

Piano Unterricht für erwachsene Anfänger und Wiedereinsteiger.

Hello , I am an Argentinian/Italian pianist and composer currently in Basel for a master in Jazz Campus.

For the last 15 years I have been teaching private lessons and in music schools.

I also have experience in group classes, teaching harmony, ear training and improvisation.

Although my main focus is Jazz, I have trained classical for many years.

I like to help people to relate to the essence of the music and to understand the pieces, in order to be able to perform them better or improvise.

Lessons of trumpet, jazz harmony and improvisation for all instruments. Around 15 years of teaching experience. FR/SP

My name is Sebastián, Argentine trumpeter, trombonist and composer based in Basel.

Since I was 18 years old I am working as a professional musician. I have worked in many educational institutions, such as EMC (School of Contemporary Music) Berklee International Network as Professor of Trumpet, jazz ensemble, and musical notation, in “Orquesta Juvenil del Sur,” an orchestra for underprivileged children, as a trumpet teacher at St Andrew's Scots School and as a private teacher.

Apart from my teaching experience I was selected to participate in the renowned Focusyear Basel program along with seven international musicians at Jazzcampus Basel during 2020/2021 and after the end of the program I decided to start a master in composition in the same institution. Already the first year I had the honor of being chosen to arrange music for the wind ensemble of the prestigious MIT University (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and also to write original music for the Jazzcampus Big Band. I graduated from the Jazz career of the Manuel de Falla Superior Conservatory of the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina and I received an Honorable Mention from the National Endowment for the Arts from Argentina in Unpublished music in the Jazz category and I also released my first album released by the Chicago label, United States Ears & Eyes Records. In 2019 I was chosen as revelation musician by the Argentine media "El Intruso". I am also working as a producer recording in my home studio.

I have been teaching children and adults of all skill levels privately for over 10 years and have experience teaching at Boston University and the New England Conservatory. I serve as a substitute for the Musikschule Riehen and Musikschule Basel. I offer 30/45/60 minute lessons and I am happy to teach you in your home. My main area of expertise is classical music but I have experience as a Jazz teach and player. I did my piano studies in Chicago, Boston, and Basel. Especially in a private 1-1 setting, it is important that the lessons are molded to the individual student's needs and I look forward to discussing your interests with you!

I offer lessons in Classical music theory at all levels - Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Whether you're struggling with the basics, or want to take what you already know to the next level, I'll adapt our lessons to your needs and guide you through what you need to make it.

Trained in Classical and Early music, and having studied performance in harpsichord, organ, piano, classical and electric guitar, I've also studied chamber music composition and electroacoustic composition. A passionate learner myself, I have recently graduated with a Masters from the Hochschule für Musik Basel in Specialized Performance (Improvisation). These diverse experiences are necessarily integrated into what I teach and how.

In my theory classes we’ll look at the fundamentals of rhythm, pitch, solfège, intervals, key signatures, cadences, and other important groundwork whose rigorous study we can then apply to real-life examples of music, helping you acquire a sharper analytical ear.

I look forward to working out a comprehensive approach to improving your music theory skills, please feel free to get in touch!

I have a university degree in singing, classical violin and classical music theory and am also a graduate of a:

* DEM in jazz singing at the CRR in Paris
* Bachelor in jazz singing at HEMU
* Master in Performance at HEMU
* Master in pedagogy at the Jazzcampus Basel

I teach in French, English, German or Swedish.

- I always focus on the student and their level. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced singer, I work with a method and targeted exercises to achieve each individual's goals (college entrance exam, concert, or hobby).

- The lesson always includes a physical and vocal warm-up, followed by purely musical work.
We work on hearing, phrasing and interpretation of the text.

- If you need vocal coaching, no problem. I'll teach you how to speak confidently in front of an audience, with a free, calm, and clear voice.

- I am a passionate teacher who loves to share and pass on her love of music and her passion for singing and voice :)
