I propose saxophone lessons for all ages, all levels, and in all styles. I have been running private lessons for 25 years, as well as giving workshops and master classes in colleges and universities. During a lesson I encourage the student to work on: posture, breathing and the position of the mouth (embouchure), helping the projection of sound; the development of the tone; i teach the student how to phrase and play a beautiful melody; techniques of improvisation; understanding harmony; having confidence in his/her playing skills; techniques of listening and interacting with the rhythm section; learning new songs and experiencing different styles of music; Introductions to key saxophonists. Above all i encourage my students to have fun with music! Course locations: Paris 13th and neighbouring arrondissements. Languages: French, English. I have been working as a Professional for 25 years, I have toured all over the world. I am also a composer with six albums under my name.
I'll be very happy to meet with you!
Musically, Rob

After 6 years of studying piano, jazz piano and pedagogy in the Netherlands, I am back in France. I was the top piano teacher in the French community of Amsterdam for 3 years with 30 students per week.
My goal as a teacher is for students to develop artistic autonomy through the development of technique, music theory, confidence, and ear training. My lessons are geared towards this, regardless of the repertoire. I am open to student suggestions and creative profiles, and I am able to guide students and introduce them to musical works, as well as improvisation and composition techniques, all in a fun and supportive atmosphere!

I give jazz / blues / funk / pop piano lessons for pianists who already have a basic technical background, and piano lessons for beginner pianists.
I specialize in teaching jazz and improvised music but open to all types of music. We decide together on the repertoire. My method is adapted to each (e) and respects the rhythm of the student, including the notions of music theory and harmony necessary for his level.
Our lessons will take place at Rue de Poitou Paris
or Rue Richer Paris
or at home (a surplus for travel) at your choice.

Hello, welcome to my ad!

My name is Matéo and I am 26 years old. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and teaching it for 5 years. After studying at the conservatory and music school, I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) specializing in jazz guitar. Over the years, I have been able to accompany around forty students, both in private lessons, group lessons and at the conservatory where I teach today.

OPTION1) The course I offer is aimed at beginner to intermediate level guitarists, of all ages (children too!), in acoustic and electric guitar.
My goal is to give you the essential basics of the instrument (body position, technique, chords) as well as an understanding of fundamental musical concepts (rhythm, ear, reading tablature and/or music theory) which will be very useful to you as a musician.
We will base our learning as quickly as possible on real pieces of music, if possible suggested by the student because I think that learning by playing the music you like is the most motivating method.
As a teacher, I have always adapted as best I could to each profile to make them learn in the way that suited them best, make them play the music they like, help them with their difficulties and push them to surpass themselves in their abilities.
Finally, I always make sure that the lessons take place in a calm and pleasant atmosphere so that the student progresses at their own pace and learns while having fun.

OPTION 2) This course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and musicians in general) who want to acquire a deeper understanding of music theory. What we can cover, depending on your needs: analysis, harmony, composition, transcription, improvisation, music theory, ...

Lessons can take place at my home, in the 15th arrondissement, or at the student's home where I can travel (for an extra) within a reasonable radius.

Declared via CESU (Universal Employment Service Check) or self-employed invoice.

I graduated from the CNSMDP (National Conservatory of Music and Dance in Paris) in Saxophone Jazz (Master).
I teach saxophone for all types of levels and styles. I like to approach learning this instrument through oral transmission rather than through methods or scores. This is how I learned music and jazz in particular. (I also oriented my dissertation around solo recording and learning through imitation.) However, I read music very well and can work with scores if the student prefers to work that way, or if the style of music requires sheet music.

I'm Romain, a university student and passionate pianist for about ten years. After a classical education at the conservatory, I developed a more intuitive approach: playing by ear, personal arrangements, simplified theory, and above all... fun from the very first lessons.

A teaching method designed to help you learn the piano in a less conventional way. Want to learn to play the music you love, without the hassle? Movies, anime, video games, jazz, improvisation, pop, accompaniment... I'll teach you to play freely and at your own pace, even without music theory.

My name is Loris, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a student at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in the jazz department. I've been playing saxophone since I was 14 and previously studied in Germany, where I'm from. Since I started playing, I've performed in various big bands and solo projects, such as the South German Youth Jazz Orchestra. For my own projects, I've toured throughout Germany, France, and the Netherlands. I also taught for a long time in Germany at a music school, where I had students ranging from 11 to 65 years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching all levels and musical styles! Having gained considerable experience, I know what's important for each student and how to best achieve their goals and, above all, make learning enjoyable! I specialize in jazz, but I'm open to anything!

See you soon, I hope.
Loris!
