Creative Music Expression - Understanding Music

From 122.03 $ /h

Would you like to approach the creative writing of music?
Would you like to fully understand the languages and the way music works?

Can I help you!

Like any form of creative expression, music has its rules, rooted in perception and in the context around us.

We will be able to work on fundamental concepts of musical expression, valid in all genres and also delve into the area that interests you the most (baroque, classical, pop, jazz...)

My course has a non-academic approach and it is open to all: whether you are professionals who want to deepen their musical knowledge, or you are amateurs or beginners we can build the perfect course for you and that will allow you to express yourself or simply to better understand the music you are listening to.

The only thing I highly recommend is knowing how to read music, because it allows us to go much faster. If you are not able, we can start there.

I'm twenty four years old. I finished my maturity in the summer of 2015 in the Kantonsschule Wiedikon in Zurich in the musical field. With 8 years I started my first piano lessons, which were mainly focused on classical pieces and theory. As soon as I chose my musical orientation in college, I received an intern teacher, who helped me to develop my improvisational skills and introduced me to genres like Jazz, Blues & Boogie Woogie.

My teaching experience I developed mainly during my civil service, where I introduced asylum seekers via projects to the diversity of music. With my well-tempered attitude and patience i find it easy to transfer the knowledge I have and am very adaptive to different kinds of learning behaviors.

If you are interested, do not hesitate to tell me.

Thank you
Emil

I obtained an AFA, which corresponds to a mid-term certificate at the Popular Conservatory of Music, as well as music theory certificates from the same establishment.
I am delighted to share my knowledge by being as attentive as possible and adapting my teaching. Patience and consistency are my driving forces, allowing anyone to express themselves through music.

At the moment I am studying at the magistracy of the composition department in Haute école de musique de Genève. In addition, I already have two full educations - choral (secondary) and composer (higher). I graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory as a composer, took part in concerts and competitions in Russia, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland as a choir singer or pianist. I also participated in international educational programs and seminars for composers:
-International Academy of Composers in Tchaikovsky (Perm, Russia; September 2019)
- Composer courses of the reMusik festival in St. Petersburg (Mai 2019)
-International seminar for composers from MolOt-ensemble in St. Petersburg (November 2018)

I have a great pedagogical experience of individual and group lessons (tutoring and working as a teacher at the summer city music camp in the St. Petersburg Academic chapel)

I write music for piano, instrumental ensembles, choir, orchestra and electronics.

I work with students of any level:
-With children (development of basic musical skills)
-With adults (we’ll build the lessons plan you need)
-With students preparing to enter a higher educational institution (preparation for exams, closing certain gaps in knowledge)

For those who want to learn to play, understand the basics of music theory, and invent music, I teach lessons focusing on the needs and wishes of my students.

My classes are both very organized and enjoyable. We understand together the link between the body and the instrument, the different parameters for the correct interpretation of music. I also focus a lot on the creative and inventive aspect of music.

Whether you want to develop your poetic sense or improve your language efficiency, whether you are looking to give more life to your oral interventions or to become more concise, I will make you work on your writing and your presence on stage to develop the oratorical style that suits you and allow you to express yourself as you would like.
Depending on your goals (conference, wedding speech, professional presentation, exams or more generally to finally express what you want to express), I bring you my expertise over a few sessions or over the long term. Depending on your profile, we will focus on voice or writing, preparation or improvisation, listening or peroration. As in any discipline, there will be training exercises, techniques to assimilate and automatisms to acquire. We will see together how to overcome the fear of the blank page, we will rework your texts, we will put them in our mouths so that you become aware of your ability to say beautiful, strong and striking things, in accordance with who you are, without trying to take yourself for someone else.

“We are only transmitters of knowledge”

I wish to bring to my students some of the enrichments that led me to the smooth and silky paths of literature and writing. From B. Fondane, through Homer, Giono, M. Solaar, Kafka, Kerouac, and Garcia Lorca.

I therefore offer writing workshops, which will allow you to deepen your knowledge of French by discovering authors that you might never have discovered.

It is therefore anything but a school course; the aim is to teach through a participatory and dynamic approach.

- study of texts
- theatrical reading
- composition of poems / songs
- writing short stories
- literary history
- art history

Open to 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇩🇪 with some knowledge of French

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION (IN BRIEF):
➤Unleash your writing skills and finally realize your writing project!
Novels, short stories, life stories, theses, songs or simple texts: these workshops help you overcome your blocks and transform your ideas into vivid and inspiring stories.

➤ Together, we will work to:
-Overcome your fear of the blank page and awaken your creativity
-Develop style, vocabulary, coherence and authenticity
-Creating characters, settings, and captivating storylines
-Explore your imagination, your emotions, and your flaws to turn them into a strength
-Alternating theory and practice with concrete exercises and personalized feedback

➤ Proofreading, correction, optimization of your texts possible.
➤Objective: to write with pleasure, progress faster and bring your project to completion.

➤Let yourself be guided: your dream of writing can become a reality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
➤Exploring and sharing the pleasure of words, building the stories that inhabit you, developing your expression, deepening your creativity, exploring contemporary writing, proposing a novel, short stories, a life story, an (auto)biography, a fiction, an essay, song lyrics, various texts or simply a report, a thesis, a report for professional or academic purposes... these are among the objectives of these workshops to deepen or initiate writing and realize one's aspirations by prioritizing the pleasure of writing based on elements of personalized pedagogy.

➤Overcome your fears and unlock creative inspiration to finally complete your project.

Let yourself be guided and finally realize your dream of writing.
➤ Overcome your fears
➤ Discover the secret to producing high-quality writing that's 100% enjoyable and 0% writer's block.
➤ Awaken this writer's flame that has been dormant in you for a long time
➤ Build unwavering legitimacy and overcome the fear of failure, lack of time and procrastination that keep you from moving forward.

In short, overcome your fear of writing. Isn't it frustrating to be consumed by the desire to write your project and yet unable to do so? Break down that insurmountable wall that's holding you back.

This involves combining improvements in form with refinements in content. For example, concrete techniques for starting your text and overcoming writer's block, feedback/suggestions on your texts, writing and style exercises based on a prompt, a series of precise/pragmatic recommendations and their implementation.

That is why, if your manuscript is stuck and you don't know how to start or continue it, if you have all the ideas but don't know what form they should take, if you want to save time in the creative process: let's build the architecture of your story together.

Learning objectives include:
• Discover writing, build confidence, let your own literary voice/path emerge, and unleash your imagination
• Studying and constructing a text, song lyrics...
• Calmly refine the style and create consistency between form and content
• Research and develop your vocabulary
• Acquire techniques and know-how to convey your message both clearly and simply
• Differentiate between writing for oneself and writing for others
• Explore your creativity and develop your expression
• To construct a complete story by creating characters, settings, lively scenes...
• Acquire and master practical writing tools, always with a focus on simplicity/simplification and efficiency (both in content and form)
• Discover contemporary writing and diversify your practice
• Acquire narrative techniques to engage in long stories

So, start, resume or finish a piece of writing you have dreamed of for a long time if you want to write but don't know where to start; if you have a story but don't know how to tell it; if you love to write but have lost your inspiration; if you have a manuscript buried in a drawer and you are afraid of failing.

To achieve this, the first step is to unleash your writing and let go: strengthen your imagination, explore your inspiration, and cultivate your originality. Next, turn your weaknesses into a driving force for writing by exploring your wounds to better utilize them and adopt an effective writing method. Finally, master writing techniques and bring characters to life while crafting captivating stories, controlling pacing, and developing suspenseful plots.

All this by combining theory and practical/concrete applications: writing assignments based on exercises and then within the framework of your project.

During the sessions, you will be guided in your writing project. The trainer will support you in your written communication and offer tools, while helping you to work on and/or optimize your style and imagination.

Proofreading, revising, correcting and formatting articles, theses, etc.: these options are also possible.

Furthermore, these sessions allow one to improve one's written communication and to study the different methods to achieve this (email, letter, report, presentation...), both in terms of content and form.
