Guillaume - Paris, France$51

$51Composition Electronic Music - MAO - Sound Techniques

Trusted teacher: Composer of electronic music since 2001, I developed a pedagogy specific to electronic music since 2005, in particular within the Technopol, Hadra and Musiques Tangentes associations, for an amateur or professional audience. I also graduated from the Pantin conservatory in electro-acoustic composition. The idea is to work on your own compositions, identifying the techniques that can help you progress. The ideal is to undertake this work over the long term, but it can also act as a one-off aid. I mainly use Ableton Live 11 software with Push2, but we can also work on Logic, Cubase, Reaper, Fruity Loops, etc.

Gabriela - Guadalajara, Mexico$36

$36Professional pianist graduated from the Russian Conservatory of Moscow, 15 years of experience teaching classes globally.

Trusted teacher: My classes are held online around the world. I can teach in English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, French, German or Portuguese. I am a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory in Russia where I lived, studied music and arts and worked as a ballet teacher, languages and music teacher. I have professional equipment such as cameras in different positions and degrees since it is essential that the student has different optics of both the piano and my body posture. We start with music theory and practice at the same time choosing pieces of preference for the student. The real objective of the class goes beyond the music per se ... but rather a spiritual-intellectual integration which results in genius through music! Music is the hook to touch the soul. Russian piano education focuses on fewer, more challenging pieces. The music will be learnt from memory and much of the learning is done through teacher demonstration. - Solfeggio First of all, what is solfeggio? Also known as 'solfège', solfeggio (sometimes called sight-singing) is the ability to read and sing music at sight. You may have heard this phrase before: 'Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do'. This is a method used to help musicians sight-sing. The Russian piano teaching method is often complemented by the use of solfeggio, and it is commonplace that when Russian teachers do use it, they use the fixed do, meaning C is always do, regardless of the key. With the British piano teaching method, solfeggio is less commonly used, and when it is, moveable do (the tonic is do) is used. As you can probably decipher, this makes the Russian method of using solfeggio much more challenging. - Attitude Without wanting to cast a generalisation across Russia, their learning method has been known for strictness, discipline and controversy. It leaves many wondering: Is the Russian way of learning the piano more demanding? Frequently, Russian piano teachers I work with joke about the harshness of teachers in their youth. The method is trying to achieve excellence in piano playing, but encouragement and discipline are used to varying degrees.

MODERN SINGING LESSONS IN GRANADA (online option) (Huétor Vega)

Chiara

I had an amazing experience working with Chiara as my vocal trainer. She is incredibly inspiring and supportive. I came to her with a song I had written, needing help to ensure my voice was in key, and she truly brought it to life. Not only does my song sound so much better now, but Chiara was also so patient and understanding of my limited music experience. Thanks to her guidance, I feel much more confident and excited for my next open mic night. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their voice or gain confidence in their musical journey!

I had a great first lesson using Ableton! Niki spent time helping me with my equipment set-up and also went through some of the settings with me. He explained things very clearly, answered my questions and showed me some of the basic things necessary to find my way as a beginner using Ableton. I now have a few things to try out and I'm excited to start experimenting and seeing what I can record. Thanks Niki!
