5 string banjo class, from Bluegrass to modern Jazz (finger picking)
The 5 string banjo is an amazing instrument. It's driving trademark sound and it's African roots has contributed to many music traditions, including Country, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz and world music.
In my class you'll first learn the basics, how to hold and pick and read tablatures. We'll then go through how to play a tune, accompany other instruments and finally, improvise. During the year I'll teach you basic music theory like rhythm, harmony and a bit of ear training to help you develop your understanding and relationship to the instrument.
We'll mainly play Bluegrass Scruggs style at first, then we'll dive into melodic style and sigle string, that will all be useful for playing other kinds of music, like Irish music, Pop, Jazz or Blues. Any requests for a personalised class is welcome. If you'd like inspiration or you want to listen to so fun music, go check out my website !

(English further below)Hello,
My name is Youssry and I am a banjoist, student composer at the Bern University of Music. I started the Banjo, 12 years ago with Bluegrass music and traditional American music, and I gradually moved towards Jazz and world music.
I am the first student in Banjo to have completed a pre-professional exam at ETM in Geneva, followed by a few years at AMR to prepare for my entrance exam at HEM.
Today I teach in the regions of Friborg, Bern, Biel and Neuchâtel.
If you take lessons with me you will learn, first the handling of the instrument and its role in a Band, then how to interpret a melody, accompany and finally improvise. We will play mainly Bluegrass and Traditional the first year through Irish music and Blues. Modern songs, pop or other music are welcome according to your interests.
If you want to start playing this magnificent instrument or you are already advanced and looking to improve yourself, this course is for you!

Hello!
My name is Youssry, Banjo player and composer currently studying at Bern art university in the Jazz department (HKB). I began playing Banjo about 12 years ago with a focus on Bluegrass music and traditional American songs. I studied under Gilles Rézzard, a prominent French Banjo player, in my teen years and became the first Banjo student to receive a preprofessional degree at ETM school of music. I then leaned towards the Jazz world by following the pre-college curriculum at AMR in Geneva to prepare for my entrance exam at the HKB.
Today I teach Banjo at all levels around Bern, Friborg and Neuchâtel.

BATTERY LESSONS at home for all levels and all ages
Student at the HEMU of Lausanne in Jazz and holder of a Diploma of Musical Studies from the City of Paris in Jazz Drums,

They generally include:
- Position, gestures and breathing
- Basic work
- Rhythmic and / or melodic and harmonic music theory
- Lots of music listening including Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz
- Work on the metronome
I can work on a method or with my own lesson sheets.

The goal of my lessons is above all to discover, learn or advance, without stress or fuss!

Clément
Drums/Percussion/Solfège/Improvisation and Jazz Harmony lessons
Hello,
My name is Clément, I am a professional musician and drum and percussion teacher. I am a graduate of the Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg and holder of the State Diploma, I am currently continuing my journey at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne in Master Performer Composer Jazz.
During my career, I had the opportunity to play in several contexts (solo, chamber music band, orchestra) and to be able to immerse myself in different musical aesthetics. (classical, jazz, current, world)
This taste for diversity, which is part of my personality, is partly what I want to pass on to my students.
Another important axis in my eyes in learning an artistic practice is based on the concept of creation, which allows the development of the imagination.
For the drums, in line with your wishes and the objectives that we will have put in place, we can explore the different styles. (rock, funk, jazz, latin, metal..)
For example, here are some concepts that we will work on:
- coordination and independence
- develop their musicality and groove
- technique and sound
- rhythm and reading on score
We can also approach classical percussions (keyboards, skins…) and world percussions (Brazilian, Cuban and African).
We will of course work on the technique specific to each instrument, some notions of musical theory necessary for a good practice, the whole aiming at musicality and expression. Another challenge is to acquire autonomy and regularity in the practice of the instrument outside of class.
I also offer music theory and theory lessons, as well as improvisation and jazz harmony lessons open to all instruments.
The courses I offer are aimed at both children and adults.
For more information, do not hesitate to contact me, I will be happy to answer you.
I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and introduce you to this beautiful universe so that you can have fun while progressing.

Saxophone lessons for beginner/intermediate/advanced level
Learning basic techniques, music theory, improvisation and ear development are part of the training.
The saxophone course is personalized depending on whether it is a beginner or an advanced student.
Beginner students will learn the solid basics, such as: good posture, good breathing, producing a beautiful sound, scale exercises, reading sheet music, basic rhythmic exercises. We will perform these exercises from different scores, which I can provide if necessary, and at the same time I also try to convey my own experiences. In general, I first show the exercise on my instrument and then let the student try to play it. We often play together.
For advanced students, we will learn more complex pieces, more difficult harmonic and rhythmic exercises, thus expanding the limits of the instrument.
Classes also include some music theory and history of music during class.
I also consider it important to show how one can work effectively alone.

I base my lessons on the alliance between learning music theory and practicing the instrument. This allows for more interactive teaching.
My lessons are usually 1 hour long; or even 1 hour 30 minutes depending on the relative intensity of each person. I am demanding with my students but without pressure. I want to teach this discipline to make it a passionate discipline.
I am a student in a double music-studies course.
I started music when I was 5 and participated in international competitions. I had the honor of participating in important regional concerts in France and Tunisia. Having obtained 2 diplomas recognized by the Royal Schools of Music, I want to pursue my passion which is to teach ambitious young people and to make them as passionate as me.

We may or may not have recourse to the use of the piano, which is an ideal tool for creating a bridge between electronic music and instrumental music.
