The Magic of Piano Playing - Piano Lessons: Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, Singer Song Writer
As a pianist who has been performing/recording different styles of music for many years, I have developed a wholistic view of the instrument and its role in music. The goal of this course is that my students will build a strong pianistic foundation while playing the styles of music that inspire them the most.
The structure of the lessons will be generally divided to two main parts:
- Fundamentals of piano playing (including various techniques and methods that enhance strong piano skills and habits).
- Working on the music that is most inspiring for my students (including studying written pieces, learning music by ear, composing, improvising, and many other tools).
There’s a lot to be said about how a musician can make a musical instrument ‘speak’ and one of the goals of this course is to help my students find their own unique and authentic way of playing the music they love on the piano.

About Me
I truly believe that music is for everyone and my goal as an educator is to always strive for nurturing the students’ connection to music. Teaching approach may change from one student to another, depending on age, interests, personality, etc... Music is made out of sounds and the space in between them. Unlike instruments where technically the performer can control the length of the notes, the piano only allows a note to ring for as long as the instrument can carry it based on the amount of weight and speed applied to the key by the pianist. However, when a pianist imagines a note sustaining longer than what the physical nature of the instrument is capable of, it affects the entire texture of the music and everything else played around it on the piano. All of a sudden, the piano transforms from a tonal percussion instrument, into a magic box containing any type of instrument imaginable and the sky becomes the limit.Education
Having received his first piano lessons at the age of six, Israeli native Yaniv graduated from the Thelma-Yellin high school of the arts in Tel Aviv. Upon graduation, he went on to study with gifted Israeli instructors such as Dr. Assaf Zohar, Ms. Hanna Shalgi, and Prof. Benjamin Oren. Masterclasses and lessons in the U.S. and Europe included work with jazz and classical pianists such as Richard Goode, Brad Mehldau and Sonia Rubinsky. In December 2009. Yaniv came to New York to study with pianist Pavlina Dokovska and in the fall of 2010, he moved to Fayetteville AR to study with pianist Jura Margulis in the piano performance program at the University of Arkansas. Yaniv’s work with Jura Margulis included lessons at the Mozarteum Summer Academy in Salzburg Austria. In August of 2013, Yaniv moved to New York City to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and graduate with a BFA degree.Experience / Qualifications

Music Theory and Ear Training Classes - Teoria e solfeggio
Hello!
Being a singer and a singing teacher, many many times I have found myself in the situation of having to work on ear training, or solfège, or music theory… or all the above listed!
Approaching music and having no clue of these elements can totally be intimidating and off-putting, but in 2023 I feel like it’s a pity that these subject still are looked at with such a fear. I want to prove to you that building these basic knowledge can be easy, accessible and not heavy at all!
My program is not fixed: I’ll build it on your specific needs, wether they are preparing an exam, curiosity, getting better at pitch matching… we will discuss together. I have many books and material, and I honestly prefer to draw blackboards by myself a lot of times. Unless you will want to, I won’t ask you to buy any material, so the only cost that you will have to sustain, is for the time of the class.

Piano lessons in Milano - piano, improvisation, composing, music theory
"I was born in the Czech Republic, where I also studied at the Conservatory of Prague. My main field is composition and that is why my teaching method is different from the other teachers who studied piano.
In 2016, I founded a school called the Lastwin School of Liberal Arts. Under this shield, I taught with my wife in our apartment. We were intrigued by how many parents enrolled their children for lessons. Even the parents themselves wanted to try the lessons. The method I use liked the headmistress of the Montessori school called Edison, where I taught piano and music lessons.
I was wondering why, they do not use services like state music schools, which are significantly cheaper. The answer was very simple. Such institutions have clear textbooks, clear curricula, and everyone must follow this.
But I am very sure, that this is not Art.
I am for Liberal Art. And I want to be one of the other teachers who understand individuality and try to subordinate as much as possible to the student.
For my inspiration, I take a tree that becomes a tool for every case when something is unclear to students.
Milano has become my new home and I would like to enable this piano lesson here through the new
ATC Milano school."

Guitar / Bass / Ukulele / Theory
The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.
Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.
Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.
The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.
We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!
(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)
If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.
In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.
I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
hey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else!
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
see you soon!

(PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something.)

Private oboe lessons for all levels in Amsterdam and the North Holland region
During my oboe lessons, enjoying music is central. The double reed plays an important role in both the sound and the ease of playing the oboe. I make sure there is always a reed that plays nicely. In addition, I will pay a lot of attention to the way of blowing. This is the basis that ensures that the students can have fun and make music right from the start. . Making music together is the best thing there is, so I like to play along with the students in a duet. I guide advanced students in developing their (musical) creativity and, if they wish, I offer reed lessons. In these lessons I give tips for updating reeds and explain all the steps of the reed making process.
