Professional singer returned to Switzerland after a musical career of more than 25 years in California. My initial training, which began in Switzerland at a very young age, gave me a solid classical foundation. My passion for current music has led me to study under several renowned industry coaches in the Los Angeles area. From pop to R&B and rock.

Member of the groups "Lords of Queen" (tribute to Freddie Mercury) and "BigSky" (with original compositions), whose music is broadcast on several radio stations and streaming platforms around the world.
My modern approach to singing teaching is tailor-made, adapted to your pace and your aspirations. We will work on self-confidence, highlighting your innate talents and overcoming your apprehensions. Patience and relaxation are the main pillars of my educational philosophy. With a holistic approach, combining breathing techniques, meditation and yoga to help you develop a deep connection with your voice.

Work on a repertoire of your choice accompanied by guitar, piano or a karaoke band. Possibility of preparation for voice competitions. I support you throughout your project in order to help you progress at your own pace while respecting your musical style. We can also work in my recording studio to learn recording techniques and the use of music production software (DAW) such as Pro Tools, Abelton Live Logic Pro X and Garage Band.

At the heart of this program:
1. Diaphragmatic Breathing: Learn to breathe deeply using your diaphragm. This will allow you to support your voice and produce more powerful and stable notes.
2. Posture: Proper posture helps free your voice and prevent unnecessary tension.
3. Vocal warm-up: This may include scale exercises and vocalizations.
4. Vocal register management: work on the transition between the different vocal registers (chest voice, mixed voice, head voice) to create a uniform and balanced voice.
5. Mastery of the vocal pose: artistic interpretation, improvisation, stage presence and microphone technique.
6. Articulation: practice clear and precise articulation (French and English).

Hello,

My name is Marco, and I invite you to pass on my passion for the guitar, and more broadly for music.

Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians...

My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

To achieve this, my main tool, as in music, will be listening.
Listening to you, understanding what you dream of achieving, then helping you get there, this is my method. So my experience and my knowledge will allow us to approach the styles that interest you: Songs, Pop, Rock, Folk, Fingerstyle, Blues, Jazz, Groove, Bossa nova, Samba... as much as to accompany you in your own creations .

So during our first session we will discuss the artists and guitarists who are close to our hearts. If you already know songs, you can play them for me, easily, without stress, and for the most advanced among you, it will even be an opportunity to jam.

Whether it's for you or your child, whether you're a student or a retiree, I'm interested in all profiles, because everyone can have fun learning to play the guitar.

See you soon !

Marco

Guitarist, singer, poet, composer, performer ... and with 20 years of teaching experience, I am happy to share my experience and my know-how: both from a technical point of view (musical knowledge, instrumental or vocal technique ...) than from a more global point of view: expressiveness, body awareness, confidence, creativity ...

What interests me above all is to guide you towards more relaxation and confidence as well as autonomy with his or her instruments, to accompany his curiosity, to develop his musical sense and give him the means to go towards the music (s) that attract him.
I like to work from what touches you: welcome to those who know what pieces they dream of playing, what style they like!!... instrumental technique and music are learned all the better through what we like (starting from learning a piece to learn a rhythm, reading new notes, knowing more about a style of music, the form of music, etc.)

VOICE RATING
I propose :
- singing lessons: whatever the repertoire targeted, become aware of your body and the vocal gesture, through vocal and body games bring more naturalness and at the same time more control with your own voice;
- vocal and psycho-bodily coaching: specific training aimed at building confidence with one's own voice and expression;

I also support in the preparation of concert or recording: mastery of voice and breath (!), Interpretation, pronunciation, staging;

VERSATILITY and CREATIVITY!
I support all projects that need a guitar AND a voice:
- do you want to sing along? I teach what is missing in guitar, what is missing in vocals and I have a toolbox today full to facilitate the coordination of the two!

- do you want to compose, write songs, or do you have texts but not the chords, you have the melodies but not the words? ... Do you feel stuck in some part of the process? I can help you unwind the thread of your creativity, better understand your gestures, your "dough", find new paths etc ...

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- 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 any singing practice, whether variety singing (pop, rock) or opera singing, part of the singing course should ideally incorporate practical work on technique and vocal anatomy. I therefore propose to start by warming up the body and the voice, which allows you to connect to yourself, to your breath. Gradually, the intensity rises, we are therefore heated, and we can then approach the pieces that the student wishes to learn. Vocalization is for me a moment with oneself, a kind of mindfulness meditation. Singing causes a very enjoyable inner vibration. Sometimes I like to start with music that inspires the student and build technical work through that. My lessons contain a "music theory" part that I adapt according to the needs and desires of each student. The more the student is aware of his body and his breath, the more he will have control of his voice, and therefore, always more joy! Being a pianist myself, I accompany the warm-up exercises on the piano, which gives considerable support to the student, as well as the songs and pieces that the student is working on.

Student at the Lausanne music school, I offer guitar, bass or saxophone lessons.
My experience playing in very varied ensembles and styles (chamber music, metal groups, rock, funk, Cuban, gospel, tango, orchestras, big jazz band, etc.) and with various musical instruments has allowed me to allowed us to develop a versatile musical approach.
I followed a classical conservatory course in guitar and saxophone, then I turned to writing, jazz and contemporary music.
I am currently studying Jazz Bass, classical double bass and jazz piano at the Lausanne High School of Music (HEMU).
At the same time, I worked as a teacher and researcher in acoustics in different universities.
During my lessons, I guide the student through a progressive and structured educational approach while guiding him or her in learning pieces that correspond to their objectives. I offer a lot of duets to raise awareness about listening and playing together. Finally, I try to transmit a musical sensitivity that will allow the student to flourish in various musical contexts.

The joy of learning and making music together. I offer three different modules so you can progress at your own pace.
🎸 Module 1: Accompany your favorite songs (rock, jazz, blues...), master arpeggios and chords.
🎸 Module 2: Playing simple melodies, exploring different musical styles.
🎸 Module 3: Using the guitar as a true instrument of expression.

Whether you are a beginner or wish to perfect your technique, these courses adapt to your pace and desires.

The guitar is a popular instrument, but also a demanding one: every gesture counts, every note must ring true. Together, we will work on technique and the best posture so that your playing becomes fluid and expressive.
