Teaching Ukulele for Beginners- Learn a New Skill!

Àpd 35.82 $ /h

The ukulele is a great instrument to learn, no matter how old or young you are! With the capability to be both a beginner's instrument and a more advanced one, learning to play the ukulele is a great skill to have for aspiring musicians and those who wish to engage the creative sides of their brains a little more! The ukulele is also a great stepping stone to playing the guitar, due to the knowledge that you gain of the skills needed to progress.

In my lessons, you will learn simple chords and finger placements, as well as some basic songs that you can play with the same three or four chords! You will learn how to play different types of chords, which can be played in several different ways depending on your personal preference and ability, and after practising these chords, I will teach you some songs that can be played and evolved with the knowledge you have gained. Additionally, I will teach you to read music at a basic level, and I will teach the simple steps you can take to remembering the names and placements of notes on the manuscripts (the term used for the type of paper where musical notes are written).

This is a great lesson, for children and teenagers alike, that I hope you will enjoy!

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

For students preparing for entrance exams to the higher conservatory or a diploma in auditory education/musical training or even for students wishing to refine their auditory skills.

I was able to develop exercises and work on auditory analysis in my piano and music training classes, and I prepared several candidates (with good results!) for the music training and auditory education tests as part of access to a higher education center.

Always in joy and good humor, with the hand of rigor and study, I will be delighted to accompany you on this musical journey.

For anyone willing to immerse themselves in the fantastic world of music and also "early music", the music wrote between the XVII and XVIII centuries. I offer dynamic lessons for all ages, from music theory to an instrument, the cello. For the most curious, the baroque cello and early music can become a huge passion.

Passionate about her instrument since the age of 7, she is a high-level artist with a remarkable career. A graduate of the Milan Conservatory in 2017 and holder of two master's degrees from the Lausanne University of Music, she has won numerous prizes at international competitions.

A passionate teacher, she is also involved in chamber music and enriching the harp repertoire through arrangements and original compositions. She has pursued advanced studies with renowned professors such as Gabriella Dall'Olio, Park Stickney, Luisa Prandina, Maria Rosa Calvo-Manzano, Gloria Martinez, Olga Shevelevich, Letizia Belmondo, Eleanor Turner, Fabrice Pierre, and Renaud Capuçon in chamber music.

These studies, as well as the constant and passionate practice of his instrument, allowed him, from the age of 10, to participate in international competitions and win several prizes, such as second prize at the IX Concorso Internazionale di Esecuzione Musicale Città di Asti, first prize in the solo and chamber music category at the Saluzzo Music Pizzico Competition F. Gatti, first prize at the European Music Competition Città di Moncalieri as well as second prize at the Concorso Internazionale di Esecuzione Musicale-Città di Treviso 2020.

In 2022, she won first prize at the Lavaux Classique festival with tenor Leonardo Sanchez for the project Los Ritmos del Amor. This success allowed her to present this program at the 2023 festival, accompanied by a personal creation: an interactive musical tale for children, exploring the sounds of the harp and the world of Harry Potter.

Particularly involved in cultural mediation, she collaborates with the Partemus association and participated in a concert for families during the prestigious Easter Festival in Aix-en-Provence.
As an orchestral musician, Luna has played with renowned ensembles such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, the Valéik Philharmonik, the Ensemble de Joux, the Sinfo Romandie Chamber Orchestra, and the Teatro Coccia of Novara.

Her passion for chamber music drives her to constantly explore new sounds, as evidenced by her varied projects: her collaboration with singer Floriane Derthe, broadcast on Espace 2 in 2021; her arrangement of Variations on a Theme from Chopin's La Cenerentola for harp and oboe, recorded with Edoardo Pezzini; as well as her contributions to the CD Los Colores de Latinoamérica with tenor Leonardo Sanchez in 2022, for which she wrote several arrangements.

Since October 2023, she has actively collaborated with the Opera for Peace association, dedicated to promoting young operatic talent worldwide. It is thanks to Opera for Peace that she has the opportunity to fully dedicate herself to enriching and creating arrangements for her instrument.
