Do you like singing but have a problem with the pitch? Would you like to develop your sense of rhythm?
You do not understand the language of music and would like to read a score without worries?
Do you want to rediscover music after a passage through solfegic education that did not suit you? Or just discover the music?


My name is Calypso, I am a musician, and I would love to guide you towards a healthy and serene learning of music!
From 7 to 77 years old, I can help you better understand your musicality, in a healthy and playful approach.
My favorite instrument is the voice, because I am above all a singer, but also because it is an instrument that we all have, no matter what color it is! And I would be delighted to guide you through different formulas (singing + music theory, singing + piano, singing + jazz improvisation, and others)

Let's talk in more detail, and create your tailor-made music lesson :)

See you soon,

Calypso

About Me

My classe is for everyone, teenagers, adults, kids, the shy ones, the motivated ones, the curious ones,
I'm really hoping you'll be moved by the way I approach singing and/or music, both things I'm fascinated about.

Education

I come from a jazz musical education, from Imep (litteraly : International Music Educators of Paris).
I'm a singer, writer, composer and a pianist. But before I even focused on music itself, I was in a musical school (Aicom, translated : International Academy of Musical, from wich I graduated Head of the class) ; I got into musicals then.
Therefore I can also coach you for auditions and give you advice about professionalism around musicals and the music world.

Experience / Qualifications

I perform mostly on stage as a singer, keyboardiste and chorist, but also as a performer (singing-acting-dancing) in musicals.
I oftenly record tracks in studio sessions, as a collaborator or for film/marketing content.
I also work a lot as a co-composer and lyricist on several projects, including my owns.

Would you like to accompany you on the piano to sing your favorite songs? Better understand the workings of your voice? Rhythm ? Scenic ease? Whether it's for fun or to get into a specialized school, I'm here to help you better understand your voice, and all the help your body can give it. I would be delighted to help you tame this sensitive and fragile instrument with the greatest kindness. No matter your age, your level, or your goals, I would like to guide you in a healthy and fun approach, and make your voice your best ally. Let's talk in more detail, and create your tailor-made singing lesson :) See you soon, Calypso PREPARATION FOR THE COURSE: - arrive with a song learned by heart - a karaoke / playback and-or a chord score (if you have trouble singing to the rhythm, we will quietly approach this aspect with very cool exercises; you can also prefer to sing a capela and that's ok for me! )
Whether you are a professional singer, semi-professional or wishing to become one, let's tackle all the subtleties of your voice together. My name is Calypso, I am a singer and musician, and my specialty: it is the voice. This course is for people who already know how to sing in tune and in rhythm; for those wishing to improve on these points I offer another course for this purpose, described on my profile :) I offer this advanced course so that we can focus on voice health, with exercises that require patience, all in a very caring approach. I'm here to help you understand your voice better, and all the help your body can give it.

Paris Private Guitar Lessons All Levels all styles Graduate IMEP Paris College of Music
While creating a repertoire, we will work the ear, rhythm, technique. I focus on practice, improvisation, and the relationship between you and your instrument in order to have fun on your bass. Okay, but what are we doing? The basics: - the silence - harmony (scales, chords, intervals) - rhythm (binary, ternary, swing, shuffle) - the sound (technique, nuance) - the coding of the English chords (A = la, E- = E minor, etc.) - the musical culture and the different ways of listening to music A choice: - improvisation (learning to play without partition, becoming able to play with anyone, anytime) - group music in general (the modern bass, the different roles of the instruments in a group) - jazz (standards, swing, notions of harmonies and improvisation) - rock, funk (notions of groove, rhythmic placement, search for sounds, pentatonic scales) - music games for children The instrument remains a tool to make music, so we will work to become a MUSICIAN (with the help of a bass guitar). Any age, any level (to be evaluated during the first class) I preferably receive at home, or at least near my home (Paris EST). Having a busy musical life moves are to be avoided as far as possible. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information! Additional Information: It is important for your teacher to match you musically (unless otherwise, if you want to fill in gaps, or discover a new genre). That's why I present myself in a few lines, so that you get an idea of ​​the kind of bassist that I am: I started bass more than ten years ago, I first discovered the instrument alone (self-taught training). I later played in several Rock formations. Rock I was interested in Funk (style in which the bass plays a key role). I then became more and more interested in improvisation and therefore Jazz music. I took two years of classes at the Conservatoire du 9ème arrondissement in Paris before joining the IMEP (formerly American School of Modern Music). Currently, I play in several bands: a jazz / funk band and a jazz / rock band. My influences (in bulk): Jaco Pastorius, Weather Report Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, George Duke, Miles Davis, Funkadelic / Parliament, James Brown, Prince, George Benson, John Scofield, Hendrix, Zappa, Stanley Clarke, Al di meola, Paco de lucia, Bob marley, Marcus Miller, Kenny Garett, Bill Evans, Lettuce, Brecker Brothers, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu, Led Zep, Dire Straits, Rolling Stones, The Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Munir Hossn, Matthew Garrisson , Hadrien Feraud, Ron Carter, Linley Martha, Maceo Parker, Paul Chambers, Mike Stern, Bob Berg and many more!

Solfege & Oriental Solfege: Quarter Note - Rast, Bayet, Siga, Kord, Hijaz, Ajam, Nahawand - Major & Minor Scales
With over 8 years of experience as a Solfege, Oriental Solfege, Oud, and Oriental singing teacher, I am a Lebanese musician currently residing in Mönchengladbach, Germany. I honed my skills for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. Prior to my relocation, I taught at Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and also held private music lessons. As a concertmaster, I performed with the oriental orchestra "Loubnan Assalam" for over 5 years. My move to Germany was motivated by my pursuit of graduate studies at the University of Kamp-Lintfort. Fluent in English, Couramment en français, ولغتي الأم هي اللغة العربية. Aber leider spreche Ich ein bisschen Deutsch. Solfege, the foundation of music theory, is an essential tool for any musician who wishes to understand and create music. It provides a way to identify and communicate notes, intervals, and rhythms, and it is the key to developing musical literacy. In this class, you will delve into the world of scales, exploring the unique characteristics of Western and Oriental scales. We will study the following scales: Rast, Bayet, Siga, Kord, Hijaz, Ajam, Nahawand- Major & Minor Scales. In addition to these Western and Oriental scales, we will also introduce you to the quarter note, which is not traditionally found in Western music. It is a quarter note with a unique and distinct sound. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, this class will provide you with the knowledge you need to use scales effectively for improvisation, singing, and playing any instrument. With this knowledge, you will be able to: * Read and write music (dictation) in solfège notation for both Western and Oriental scales. * Identify and communicate notes accurately in the context of various musical traditions. * Develop a deeper understanding of music theory and rhythmic concepts. * Infuse your musical performances with a broader range of expressive possibilities. We will use the book "المقامات الشرقية by Georges Farah" as the main reference for our study of Oriental solfège. This book is considered the best book in the Middle East to teach Oriental Solfège. Discover the power of solfège to enhance your musical skills and open up a world of new possibilities!
