Piano Lessons / Improvisation / Music Theory

From 56.74 $ /h

I focus my teaching on the transmission of technical skills necessary for piano and music theory. It begins with the interpretation of an instrumental or accompaniment piece, then opens the way to improvisation and composition.
Generally, I divide the course into two parts (for a duration of one hour):
The first 15 minutes are dedicated to a specific technical question: scale exercises, sight reading, key reading, solmization, harmony, analysis, etc.
The rest of the session is devoted to the interpretation and work on one or more pieces chosen in agreement with the student.
I adapt my method to the desires and needs of each student and do not limit the study to the classical repertoire (pop, jazz, blues, rock, folk).
My lessons are suitable for all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced.

About Me

Je suis Paul, Professeur de piano/Compositeur/Arrangeur.

Dans ma pratique, je suis à l’écoute des besoins de l’élève tant sur le plan pianistique que solfégique sans négliger les dimensions d’interprétation et de culture musicale.
J’adapte la progression aux envies et aux ambitions de l’élève et cherche à faire coïncider compétences techniques et plaisir personnel.

J’ai été formé au conservatoire et à l’université autour du répertoire classique mais j’ai aussi développé une bonne connaissance des répertoires des musiques actuelles et de jazz ce qui me permet d’être flexible et de créer des ponts entre les styles. J’ai déjà l’expérience des cours particuliers puisque cela fait six ans maintenant que j’enseigne le piano et le solfège à mes élèves.

C’est un vrai plaisir pour moi de transmettre des connaissances et de pouvoir faire découvrir de nouveaux horizons musicaux à mes élèves. Je me trouve moi-même enrichi à leur contact, devant constamment m’adapter à leur évolution et leurs goûts en abordant, par exemple, des pièces du répertoire parfois anciennes sous un angle nouveau.

Graduated from the American School of Modern Music, I offer bass lessons for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels looking for ways to work. I adapt to everyone's desires and favorite styles, whether it's Hip-hop, Jazz, Blues, Pop, City Pop, Rock, Punk, Funk, Metal, World, etc. . My goal is above all to accompany you in your musical adventure. Also I can help you prepare for auditions (for a group or a music school), improve your phrasing, develop your game or simply teach you your favorite songs.

Classes can take place at my home, yours or via Skype. I offer lessons of 1h, 1h30 and 2 hours according to needs and desires.

Having several basses (4 strings, 5 strings, acoustic, fretless) I gladly lend an instrument to students who come to my home, which can be practical if the lesson takes place after work or study hours. For lessons at home, I bring an ABY pedal that allows two people to play on the same amp, making the lesson more practical and more fun!

Thank you for reading this announcement and have a nice day,

My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase.

The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach.

The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

------------------
- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

I am a passionate guitarist and guitar teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching guitar to beginners and intermediate players. My teaching approach stems from a deep love of music, from transcribing solos and developing a personal style to composing and arranging for an instrumental album currently in production.

My teaching approach:
I firmly believe that every student is unique. My lessons combine technical rigor with creative freedom, so you progress both as a guitarist and as a well-rounded musician. Beyond technique, I help you develop your musical sensitivity and confidence on the instrument.
Alongside teaching, I continue to perform, record and actively work on my own musical projects, which ensures that teaching is rooted in real and living musical practice, and not in theory alone.

Why choose my courses?

My teaching method is based primarily on the joy of playing, gradual progression, and adapting to each student. The goal is to make the piano accessible, regardless of the starting level, while developing genuine musical independence.

Each lesson begins with a quick review of what has been learned and any difficulties encountered since the previous session. We then work in a structured way: technical exercises (hand position, coordination, rhythm), reading sheet music, and learning pieces chosen according to the student's level and musical tastes.

I place great importance on understanding rather than simply reproducing. The student learns to decode music, understand rhythm, and develop their musical ear, which allows them to progress more quickly and sustainably.

The lessons are flexible and adapt to each student's needs, whether it's a beginner child, a teenager looking to improve, or an adult wanting to return to playing the piano. The approach remains supportive, motivating, and without undue pressure.

Between lessons, I offer simple and effective study tips to ensure steady progress. The goal is to build a solid foundation while keeping the joy of playing at the heart of the learning process.
