Music Class, Double Bass, Guitar, Harmony, Arrangement.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am an eclectic and curious musician, before any contrabassist. I am also a composer and arranger.

After a master of sociology I make the decision to train myself professionally; I return simultaneously to the conservatory of Agen in jazz and conservatory of Bordeaux in classical to learn bass.

Then, in 2014, I confirm a National Superior Professional Musician Diploma at the Pole Supérieur Paris Boulogne Billancourt through the training at the Didier Lockwood Music Center.

I was trained retrospectively by Jean-Paul Macé, Kent Carter, Gilles Naturel, Marc-Michel Lebevillon, Cristian Diaz, Jean Michel Charbonel, Chris Jennings, Cristophe Dal-sasso, and Carine Bonnefoy (for writing).

All these people have nourished my love and passion for music, which remains for me a long way to explore in search of new knowledge.

It is the diversity of cultures and the wealth of knowledge that drives me to continue to study everything within my reach.

I'm interested in jazz, classical music, Indian music, rock and electronic music ...

I hate taboos and separations between the musical worlds and I think that everyone wins to share their knowledge and their modes of operation.

My way of thinking about learning Music:

I prefer to stay on a principle of pleasure and sharing specific to music.

I find it important to adapt to feed the motivation of the student, especially for young people with whom it is very important to have a fun approach.

Too many students leave demotivated classes of music schools or conservatory; that I practiced for 5 years (since despite my criticisms I still have a prize of jazz conservatory and I followed the training to obtain the DE of jazz which is a diploma of pedagogy).

This involves learning the mechanisms based on improvisation, understanding chords, rhythm and melody.

Regarding the repertoire I am based on the culture of the students, after all they are the main concerned! So the choices of the pieces depend on the desires and the tastes.

The mode of learning depends on the musical style approached, for example I will not make music theory to someone who wants to play the AC / DC (unless he wishes) conversely a person who wants to address jazz can hardly do without notions about harmony.

The purpose of this approach is to develop the independence of the student. The teacher is there to accompany the student at the beginning; he must not become a guardian who can sometimes be transformed over the years into a crutch!

This is my way of seeing pedagogy!

I hate taboos and separations between the musical worlds and I think that everyone wins to share their knowledge and their modes of operation.
My influences are as diverse as my career since I take so much pleasure to listen to Mingus, Lili Boulanger, Bjork, The silver mount zion or The Bad Plus etc ...

It is possible to organize classes in pairs or trinomials by level and age groups. This is to directly develop a collective approach to music, and thus allow the student to integrate easily into a music group.
Riding a small group or being able to play quickly with another unknown individual is an asset in itself.

This involves learning the mechanisms based on improvisation, understanding chords, rhythm and melody.

Hugo
Learn pop, rock, folk, jazz, Brazilian, Latin or Afro-Latin music, blues...
I offer guitar lessons based on a benevolent pedagogy and which will adapt to your needs and evolve according to your rhythm. My experience of more than 15 years of guitar, and my practice of music as a multi-instrumentalist (percussion, piano, trumpet...) for 25 years, have allowed me to develop a global knowledge of music allowing me to understand the links between theory, musical harmony, rhythm and technique. My goal is to encourage self-expression. I use musical knowledge (theoretical, musical harmony, rhythm, etc.) with the symbolism of the latter to explain how music is a language, in other words a means of expression and sharing that allows us to connect, to communicate, but also to celebrate and have fun. My lessons are totally adapted to the creation of songs as well as accompaniment with singing. My experience: 8 years of teaching (jazz, blues, Brazilian music, Latin and Afro-Latin music...). Three years of jazz workshop with David Patrois at the conservatory of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. My lessons are only given at my home, at Mairie de Montreuil, 93100.

Manuela

I also follow the following methods: Vol.1-3 by Isabelle Ory, the TEKETE volume (for the double and the triple lick). I also work on studies of Berbiguier, Fleury, Köhler ... Experience with Allegro Musique for 6 years.

Ivan
drum lessons, percussion initiations, and rhythm
I've been playing drums for 12 years, Economic and social bachelor, then student at the IMEP, I now play in restaurants or weddings The drums are a key instrument within a group, it is he who will allow to create a link between all. My goal is simple, you have to take pleasure in playing, this will of course go through attendance, but also through moments of laughter, fun, exchange, communication ... I would initiate you if you want to play percussion to test them to have fun. I would try to teach you the styles that I know so that you can practice them, be it rock, funk, pop, soul, jazz, reggae, but also having fun with your instrument, and why not make it your job ...

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶
The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
