My name is Torjus and I want to teach your children or yourself piano and saxophone. I am a generalist, more than a specialist, so that way I can teach basics in many areas. We can do techniques, practicing techniques, music theory, ear training, sight reading, playing together. I do mostly classical and rhytmical music and also a little jazz. The lessons are adapted to your skill level, and we will also talk about how you can help yourself get better.

I have a over 10 years of experience with teaching children and youths, but adults are also welcome. If you want to know more about me, check out "About me" further down.

I have only taught kids and youths, but adults are also welcome. Kids up to 10 years: 30 minutes. Youths 10-15 years old: up to 45 minutes. Adolescents/adults 16 and up: from 30 to 60 minutes.

I speak English well, but I can also use French to teach basics, as I am currently learning French on level A2.
Información adicional
You need your own piano or your own saxophone, with the neccessary equpment: e.g. reeds, cloths, music stand. I bring my own saxophone. After the first lesson, we will start using your own book which I will bring for you.

Acerca de mí
I am a positive, enthusiastic, sociable and kind person who believes that you can do so much more if you just believe that you can! I like getting to know people better, music, tennis, gaming and lots of other things.

With me as a teacher, you will get clear goals for your lessons, you will know what you need to do to reach these goals, and I will tell you when you are doing it right! I am a little strict when it comes to practicing, as you will get tremendously better at music and feel the accomplishment much easier if you play outside of the lessons.

I started playing the saxophone 25 years ago and picked up piano a year later and percussion four years later. Today I am a trained teacher, and I am in Montpellier to learn french. I come from Norway, and I really enjoy this beautiful city!

The world of rhythm and drums from around the world attracts you... you are a novice or want to improve your skills, you are looking for workshops in private lessons or in groups,...

Welcome!

Multi-percussionist on stage and in the studio, experienced teacher and performing artist for over 25 years, I offer introductory, development and advanced modules in world percussion, for all audiences.
(individual, group and internship courses)

The educational objective is based initially on the acquisition of general notions in rhythmic solfege, various instrumental techniques and a repertoire of rhythmic-melodic vocabulary, subsequently supplemented by the exploration of polyrhythm and improvisation.

By listening to and reproducing more or less long and complex rhythmic patterns and cells, it will be a question of acquiring all-terrain bases, of recognizing and refining one's own playing dynamics, of understanding the principle of orchestration and of opening oneself to the incredible experience of trance.

Percussion lessons always involve several instruments and levels:

For all levels:
congas, bongos, bata drums, cajon, bendir and tär (frame drums), djembe, dundun,
drums
and minor percussion (accessories: shaker, triangle, karkabou...

And also for novices & intermediates:
Indian tablas

Point essentially addressed for a musical and psycho-sensory immersion work:

the roles of rhythmic instruments in contemporary, ethnic and scholarly music, and the metrics of each musical current.
the strokes specific to each instrument and a playful rhythmic solfeggio (visualization, learning and interpretation of rhythmic sequences by writing and / or voicing)
the poly-rythmie around current musics and world music (African, Caribbean, Indian and oriental traditions): simultaneous combination of rhythmic cells, sometimes of different size, to form a rich, well-rounded and harmonious phrase.
groove and inner pulsation (or inner partition)
guided improvisation and discovery of one's own interpretive fiber.
orchestration or arrangement of instrument families in an orchestra.
the song and the breath, the setting in voice and in space of the rhythm, to refine the sensory language of an adequate dynamic gesture.

I provide on request personal work media (CDs, scores, videos).

Apart from stage music, I also work for live shows (storytelling, theater, circus, pantomime, contemporary dance ...), documentary film and audio-visual.

I frequently intervene in musical awakening for early and middle childhood (maternity hospitals, schools, leisure centers) and also in specialized settings (day hospitals, IME) and at home, as part of mediation actions in art. therapy.

Hoping to share with you my passion for teaching and the melody of rhythm.
