Improvisation lessons for adults in a supportive atmosphere.

Does the thought of improvising frighten the life out of you?
Look no further.
I teach in a friendly, supportive and warm-hearted way. We start simply and easily, with various games and exercises. Sometimes we use sheet music, sometimes not.
I always try to draw on your strengths. Strengths that you may not even know you have.
My specialism is working with instrumentalists.
I have professional experience as a clarinet player, improviser and composer, in the UK and Belgium, and as a tutor at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, London.
I really look forward to helping you embark on a new musical journey.

Harmony and Classical Writing
This applied music theory course is for any passionate musician, regardless of level. It aims to broaden his musical knowledge and abilities by understanding music as a whole. The goal is to be able to decode and understand how a music (not only of classical style, but also pop, jazz, rock, electro, ...) was composed, and to be able to use interesting harmonies oneself. and solid in a personal composition / production. It is made up of two main topics: * Harmony (building chords, understanding chord diagrams, learning to Harmonize a given melody, the possibility or not of using these Harmonies in a given style, etc.). But also understand the key, how to build a scale, how to navigate between different keys, how to transform a classic chord suite into another style? Harmony is a course open to all and all levels, no prerequisites to have. Any passionate musician will find interest in it, that's guaranteed. * Writing is a much more targeted course, which is already an introduction to classical composition. In this branch, we will develop the rules of classical writing (parallel fifths and octaves, false relations etc, ...) within the framework of an exercise based on a given melody or bass (in the first case it will be necessary to invent harmonization and compose a bass, in the second, it will be necessary to invent the harmonization and the melody). This course can also be used by academy or conservatory students who wish to prepare for the writing exam, or simply to deepen their knowledge.

Piano: Learn to play your favorite pieces/songs on piano
To learn to play the piano well, you have to be passionate! And what better method than by learning your favorite songs! This is exactly what I propose. First, you will learn to play by memory and some easy tricks, then you will learn to play with scores that I will personally write to adapt them perfectly to your level! I learned by being at the classical academy for 12 years and giving lessons for almost 10 years, that in the end, it is the students who are passionate about the pieces they play, who will become good pianists. As an additional option, I offer composition and harmony lessons, to ensure that step by step you can compose small pieces up to multi-instrument arrangements. I am already looking forward to meeting you and starting your classes very soon!

Learn to play fast. Dynamic guitar lessons, and music theory. In English and Spanish
Music is a dynamic art, and is my believe that it is how it should be taught. Practice is as necessary and important as theory, and sometimes even more. Beginner students start playing guitar within the first month, and not long after that they are able to compose their own music. My purpose is that the student open all the possibilities this instrument offers, and not just learn to play 3 chords; in music everything is possible when you know how and when to do it. La música es un arte dinámica, y por ende es así como me gusta enseñarla. La practica es igual de necesaria e importante que la teoría, a veces hasta más. En mi curso el estudiante puede tocar desde las primeras clases, y en un punto no muy lejano componer su propia música. En cuanto a guitarra, mi propósito es que el estudiante se abra a todas las posibilidades que este instrumento ofrece, no solo a tocar 3 acordes; dentro la música todo es posible, todo lo puedes hacer siempre y cuando sepas como y cuando hacerlo.
