Music Theory Lessons (Western classical, jazz, pop)

A partir de 55.69 $ /h

Music Theory helps you understand the undercurrents of all Western music and gives you the ability to analyse, create and enjoy music in more versatile and deep way.

I'm a graduated musician (Helsinki Pop & Jazz Conservatory) and musicologist (MA, University of Helsinki) and I teach Western classical and jazz theory.

Students from beginners to advanced are welcome! My classes are customised for each student based on their skill level and expected outcome. Theory lessons can be shaped to support composing/arranging or practicing an instrument. Classes can also be taught using Logic Pro, while enjoying the additional bonus of learning to use one of the most renowned DAW's.

My personal approach to music theory is holistic, so with me you will be able to go deeper into music theory than just learning the rules by heart.

I also teach electric bass!

Información adicional

Bring your own laptop/tablet, and bring your own instrument if you want. I have a piano, acoustic guitar and electric bass at my home.

Acerca de mí

"A good teacher can make an impact, that lasts throughout one's life."

This is my philosophy and I aim to constantly follow it. To me teaching is more than just handing out material: it's making the learning process interesting and enjoyable so that the learning almost happens by itself.

I am curious in all aspects of music, and this approach is present also in my classes. Music theory, a technique or a song do not exist in vacuum but always has their context. Understanding the context of each new skill is important to let the students grow into self-reliant and courageous musicians.

Finally there is an international guitar school in Copenhagen where all students are not only learning how to play properly the guitar from a professional guitarist but also how to appreciate the meaning of the music and arts.

Students will also be prepared for professional music education. So whether the student wants to become a professional guitar player or play the guitar as a hobby, they will always learn a constructive way to play the guitar and perform with the instrument.

Lessons are open for everyone (children, teenagers, adults). The students are welcome to the lessons from the age of 6.
Carlos is currently working as a teacher in Copenhagen with his own music school, His students represent several nationalities.

Carlos has excellent motivation with his profession and he is driven to help his students to achieve their best.

He has very good communicational and interpersonal skills which enable him to discuss any matter of concern with the students and their parents.

Aleksandra is a trained singer, singing teacher and choir conductor from the Academy of Music in Gdansk and Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona.

She took to the stage in her childhood and has been teaching music for the last 6 years.

For several years she was a chorister of the prestigious Polish National Youth Choir and leader of Vocal Quintet Solifonia. Currently, she is a choir conductor and the founder of CHOIR CLUB in Korskolen.

What can you expect from her teaching?

She believes that singing can be passion, a communication tool, a means of therapy and so much more: more than you can imagine!

In her classes, you will learn key vocal techniques as well as learning to understand your voice. You will discover the deeper meanings of the songs you sing as you seek to express them to the world.

As she is working towards becoming an Accredited Teacher of IVTOM (International Voice Teachers of Mix) she focuses on delivering teaching based on the Mix principles: by mixing the chest and head voice you receive the full benefits of “both voices”: the natural and powerful sound of the chest voice, and the beauty and range of the head voice. As a singer learns to sing using both of these resonances and trains the vocal folds to stay together, it is possible to vocalize smoothly and evenly from one register to the next. The relationship of the two elements working together will create an even, smooth vocalization and, as a result, eliminates the “breaks” in the voice.

She has a good knowledge of playing the piano, so you can sing along to her accompaniment or accompany yourself under her supervision.

What does the first lesson include?

You’ll talk about:
- your background and musical experience
- all the circumstances that can influence your sound production
- your needs, expectations and plans

You also find out:

- what your bad habits are
- how you can start your singing technique
- what kind of exercises will help you best achieve your singing goals

Who is welcome?

- Children (8+), adolescents and adults
- Singers of all kinds of popular music
- Students who want to learn hearing / rhythm theory
- Individuals, groups and families

My name is Flóra and I am a clarinet teacher.
I have been teaching since 2013 in Hungary and Spain in Music Schools and giving private lessons.

I have experience with students from age 2-65. I prepare lessons for
Harmony, Music Theory and Clarinet.

Clarinet class: My main objective is that students can understand and feel the music to express themselves with the instrument. You will learn the clarinet technique and I will teach you all the elements that will help you to be a great performer of the instrument.

Music Theory class: I will teach you to read music sheets, to learn music vocabulary and rhythm. We will do intonation exercises and sing to train the ear.

GuitarMap is a book I've penned, with plenty of shortcuts to understand harmony and how it works in guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, etc. Lessons are based on the book, which makes it easy to keep track of progress.
