Michele - Amsterdam-Zuidoost35€

35€Music Composition, Music Theory, Harmony, Analysis, History of Music

If you’d like study music theory to learn a new powerful language, or if you’d like create your own music; a good music theory knowledge could help you to learn more about “how music work” and “how manage your ideas”. It could be really helpful if you are considering to get admission at Conservatoire because Music Theory/ Ear Training/Solfege/Harmony/Analysis Test can required a really good training. I like customise didactic method on every student, my background is academic but I try to take in account needs of every young musician. I got my BA Degree - Music Composition in Italy at Conservatorio Alessandro Scarlatti.

Huang - Singapore86€

86€Music theory and Musicology, mainly focus on method of learning sound and music

This course aims to guide students in rethinking "music" from a contemporary musicological perspective, understanding it as a cultural practice that is produced, perceived, and interpreted. Moving beyond traditional work-centered approaches, the course combines historical musicology, ethnomusicology, and critical theory to explore how music generates meaning within social structures, technological media, bodily experience, and power relations. Through engagement with key theoretical texts—such as studies on musical rhetoric, soundscape theory, and the material turn—as well as analysis of concrete case studies spanning art music, popular music, and everyday sound practices, students will acquire a range of musicological research methods while reflecting on the assumptions underlying listening, analysis, and writing. The course encourages students to integrate theory with their own research interests or practical experience, cultivating critical listening skills and interdisciplinary thinking.

Pieter - Amsterdam, Netherlands48€

48€Music history, art appreciation and aesthetics lessons

Trusted teacher: Why is classical music worth listening to? What is special about Bach or Mozart? Why can music touch us so profoundly? If you want some answers to these questions - but especially if you want to reflect on them, and expand your knowledge of music and art - then these lessons might be for you. For each student, I make a tailored lesson plan depending on their interests. This can be leaning more towards music history, towards a specific composer or time period that you like... everything is up for discussion!

Saxophone lessons for beginners, intermediate and advanced musicians (Brussels)

Emidio

Emidio is a fantastic saxophone teacher. He provides you with the feedback you need to learn many things at the same time: He gives you tips for a good embouchure and shows you how to blow a proper tone. He teaches you how to play in tune and introduces you to tone articulation on the saxophone, when you are ready for it. He guides your own practice efficiently, so you can be certain to not loose time. In addition, you learn to read notes and a lot about music in general. Emidio is a kind, patient, supportive and encouraging saxophone teacher, who is ready to reply to whatever question you throw at him. Emidio communicates well and is clear. His classes are fun, inspiring and intense. I will continue my musical journey with Emidio.I highly recommend Emidio as a saxophone teacher. With Emidio, you can be certain that you learn to play the saxophone in the best possible way.
