Studio musician gives piano (and composition) lessons in Montreal

From 36.93 € /h

-- I also teach in english --

My lessons are for anyone wishing to approach the piano in a personalized way, regardless of the style and level targeted.
I divide my teaching into equal parts between theory (melody, harmony and rhythm) and practice (all pieces of your choice), the aim being to offer you a grid of global understanding of writing and musical interpretation.
I start from the principle that you have to have fun from the start, while looking for a high level of autonomy.

-- About me --

Having grown up abroad (in the Central African Republic then in Saudi Arabia), I had the chance to learn the piano through an eclectic teaching.
In particular, I was a student of Gulmira Abdukhalikova, a Kazakh concert artist now based in Abu-Dhabi, who made me progress by applying the famous "Russian method". At 13, I won 3rd place in the International Piano Competition of Île de France at Maisons-Lafitte.

At the end of my adolescence, I participated in the Big Band of the Children of Jazz, within the framework of a festival organized each year in Barcelonette by Stéphane Kochoyan (who was also, at the time, artistic director of the Jazz Festival in Vienna).

Subsequently, I set sail for Canada where I lived for six years. I co-animated several Open-Mics of poetry, as a pianist-improviser, and I produced two albums: "Fragments" (2018) and "Echoes of space-time" (2019), the latter having been 100% improvised and recorded "one-shot" in the studio.
At the end of 2020, three years after having started giving piano lessons in Canada and France, I publish "The method of the self-taught pianist" as well as my own sight-reading manual.

Learning a musical instrument does not happen overnight, it takes time, patience, discipline and, most importantly, the desire to make music. My course is designed to give all the tools, technical and theoretical, to someone who wants to learn to improvise, read music notes, memorize music and develop their musical ear.

Everything is done in a good atmosphere, humor and relaxation, the ultimate goal is to progress while having fun!

Hi to everybody! :)

My name is Stef, I am a lyrical singer from Barcelona who currently lives in Montréal (and I love it!).

I teach singing, piano and musical theory for ALL AGES and GENRES!

About SINGING, I am going to teach you how to use your voice in a healthy way.
In class, we'll learn about:
- Body awareness
- Support (yes, we'll talk about the diaphragm!)
- Breathing
- Phonation
- Tuning
- Phrasing
- Declamation
- Projection
- Confidence
- Stage presence
- Communication through emotions
- Piano self-accompaniment (so you can give proper concerts to your beloved ones!)
- And MORE!!

If you feel interested about the vocal world and you want to begin or improve and expand your knowledge, drop me a line. Tell me which repertoire you want to work with and let's sing it!

About PIANO and MUSICAL THEORY lessons, they are based on a super piano book. With that and my technique you'll learn a lot! For kids, I have several books that are fantastic for them as well!

Also, I'm here to help you with your EXAMS and AUDITIONS :)

My philosophy is QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. To achieve that, it's important to establish a trust-based relationship between us. My lessons are taken in a comfortable and open-minded environment. I find this point essential to feel free and make music from the heart.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate to contact me to book your first lesson! It will be a big pleasure to work with you :)

Remember: FUN is mandatory! :D

Graduated with a Diploma of Professional and Advanced Studies and a Master's degree in piano performance at the University of Montreal, I also obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies with A+ mention from the Jacques Thibaud Conservatory of Bordeaux in France. I have been working as a piano teacher for eight years now. I teach piano and music theory to all types of profiles, children, adolescents or adults ranging from a beginner to a professional level. During my musical journey, I tried to nourish my knowledge in the service of instrumental practice and pedagogy. During my lessons, we will cover subjects that are essential for me such as good position at the piano, flexibility of playing, stress management, bodily relaxation and of course, interpretation. My pedagogy is based heavily on this last point so that the student can stand out musically and find their own language while respecting a fair interpretation. I work every day to find a fun side to instrumental practice for the youngest while instilling in them the theoretical and technical bases they will need to develop their playing.

I am a Suzuki trained teacher through world renown Mimi Zweig, Joshua Bell and Hilary Hahn’s own teacher! I studied with Grigory Kalinovsky and Mauricio Fuks at the Jacobs School of Music as well as Violaine Melancon at McGill University. I have been playing the violin for 20 years and teaching since I was 16, and I have great passion for music education for all ages. I will customise your lessons to what you need, from classical to folk to fiddling!

I am a piano teacher with over 25 years of experience with students in different age groups from preschoolers, teenagers and adults. Offering a comprehensive and effective approach for students that are welcome to study in person or from the comfort of their home with online classes.
In our classes, we will learn how to read music, do scales and discover different pieces to improve technique.
If you enjoy genres such as classical, pop and jazz or are looking to learn some of your favorite songs or improve the skills you already possess, it would be a pleasure to help you!
My goal is to inspire my students to learn music and a skillset they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

**Biography:**

Nadine holds a B.F.A. in Integrative Music Studies from Concordia University with a focus on guitar. She has been a certified teacher at Montreal Academy since 2009.

As a vibrant presence in Montreal’s music scene, Nadine performs regularly with her solo project as well as with various local and international artists. Her musical journey began at the age of five, inspired by her grandmother's Arabic piano classics. She transitioned to guitar during high school, where she played in rock bands, and continued her studies in jazz and classical guitar at CEGEP and university. Over the past six years, she has delved into the oud, integrating it into her original compositions.

With 26 years of teaching experience, Nadine offers instruction in a diverse range of styles, including Pop, Funk, Blues, Rock, R&B, Jazz, and Classical. Whether you aim to learn an instrument, write songs, prepare for an audition, or explore creativity across various musical genres, Nadine provides the tools and guidance needed to achieve your goals. Her lessons cover sight-reading, songwriting, ear training, improvisation, fingerpicking techniques, and more, all tailored to each student’s musical interests.

Hello! I use different learning methods depending on the profile of each student. In all cases, I transmit a real working method that will be useful for your entire life as a musician! I usually divide the course into 2 parts, with a more technical part (warming up the hand and working on left hand agility, small exercises on the problems you might encounter), and a more musical part with the pieces. If you don't know how to read scores, I can also teach music theory or use an auditory learning method! I also often suggest playing in a duet, because music is above all a sharing :)

My teaching experience is varied: I have taught very young beginners (4 years old) and less young, and I also take care of the improvement of more advanced students! I also offer support in addition to courses at conservatories for example. I have been offering courses for 4 years now and I have always had excellent feedback from long-time students! :)

If you are interested in composing, don't hesitate! I work for film music and I was assistant to a composer in Hollywood. I also won many international awards for my projects.

Hello!

I give piano lessons for beginners.
My lessons are divided into 2 parts (theoretical part - 30 minutes and practical part - 30 minutes), especially at the beginning.

For the music you will learn, you can choose it or I can provide it to you. We can discuss it. Same thing for the musical genres.

With pleasure!

Do you or your child want to broaden your musical horizons?
Learn how to integrate technology into your music learning?
Want to know how to turn a song idea into an audio file professionally?
Maybe just introduce you to music in general?
Or deepen your knowledge of computer composition?

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! ☺♫

What I offer:
→ Complete training in DAW software (Ableton Live and others!)
→ In-depth exploration of electronic instruments (synthesizers, MIDI controllers)
→ Instrumental recording techniques and construction of audio models
→ Hearing training and awareness of the different characteristics of sound (timbre, pitch, audio effects)
→ Experimental sound creation and sound design (eg: reproducing the roar of the T-REX)
→ Introduction to music theory and composition
→ Support and coaching for your musical project
→ What you think is relevant to your journey!

The course will be adapted to your needs and all subjects are adaptable to your level!
Simple, fun and enriching!

But why learn all this?
→ Computers today have an essential and central role in music in general. No matter what musical style you listen to, it is necessary that these artists have used DAW technologies to deliver their piece to you. Also, the accessibility of software today allows anyone with an artistic intention to be able to exploit it and offer it to the general public.

¤ Computer access is ideal for taking classes, but I am open to discussing alternative options! ¤
