This course is aimed at beginners, with or without mastery of music writing. It will be possible to cover:
- The basics of writing music, melodic (notation of pitches and rhythms on the staff) and harmonic (notation of chords);
- The basics of classical and/or jazz harmony: notations, chord compositions, chord functions, modulations, etc.
- Questions of form: what structure should you give to your piece? What are the "classic" forms? How to start/finish a piece?

The course will be structured between:
- on the one hand, the rereading of work composed by the student, in order to suggest avenues for development;
- on the other hand, the teaching of the necessary or desired tools from the list above.


My profile :

I have been studying for a year in the "Performer Jazz" bachelor's degree in transverse flute at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne. With 20 years of instrumental practice, I began composing on my own by discovering computer-assisted music as a teenager. I then developed a more "written" composition style (on score) over the past 6 years during my studies at the Grenoble Conservatory (France). I obtained a Diploma of Musical Studies there rewarding 5 years of harmony and writing "in styles" which allowed me to appropriate the classical, baroque, romantic styles, of Fauré and Debussy, Bartok and Bill Evans. I also took free composition classes for 5 years.
My experiences include the musical setting of a feature film for a piano-flute duo, the composition of pieces for solo piano, for chamber music ensembles, for small orchestras, for jazz quartet and septet.

About Me
I have been studying for a year at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne, in a bachelor's degree in "Performer Jazz". I have been playing the flute for 20 years and composition for over 10 years. My studies in conservatories in France allowed me to obtain two Diplomas of Musical Studies (DEM) in transverse flute and writing in styles. Outside the conservatory, I have experience as leader of a quintet and a jazz duo, as a member of a big band, symphony orchestras, free improvisation ensembles, in jam sessions. I have also practiced traditional Irish music on the flute and guitar. My experiences as a composer / arranger include computer-assisted music, setting music for a feature film, composing chamber music, composing for big band.

For students from beginner to intermediate level, I offer one-hour weekly lessons or 45 minutes for beginner children. We will be able to address questions of instrumental technique, and pieces from the repertoire chosen according to the student's level and musical tastes.
Depending on needs and desires, the course can include learning by ear, working on music theory, reading scores, harmony, and improvisation.
Depending on the repertoire, I accompany the students on the flute, guitar or piano.

I have been a flautist for 20 years. I study in the jazz department of HEMU (Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne), but I also hold a Diploma of Musical Studies in classical transverse flute, obtained in Grenoble, France after more than 10 years of practicing the classical style.
I also have knowledge of traditional Irish music acquired by practicing guitar and Irish flutes during dedicated sessions.
I have already taught the flute at home, in music school and at the Regional Conservatory, to students from 8 to 30 years old, beginner to intermediate levels.

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

Hello! My name is Yann, I am a young 27-year-old professional musician and bassist with a Master's degree in Jazz Performance from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne.

I am committed to offering personalized lessons, the main objective of which is to develop your personal relationship with music and integrate the arts into your daily life. All levels are welcome. I want to help you develop tools to analyze and interpret your favorite music, and create your own! I can accompany you in a wide variety of styles, having myself performed numerous concerts in extremely varied musical genres. Come as you are!

During the Bass lessons, we will cover:

- The technical aspect of the Bass Guitar, the basics of posture and the different playing modes
- Understand the powerful and versatile role of the Bass in different styles, teach you collective playing
- Familiarization with the handle: find the concepts that allow you to develop a fusional relationship
- Develop your ear and theoretical understanding of music

I give lessons in my fully equipped music studio in Flon, in the heart of Lausanne.

My career as an instrumentalist began a few years ago alongside numerous Swiss artists, including J.NUNN, Roxane, Chelan, and Nnavy. I have performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Paleo, Cully Jazz, Les Docks, and Caribana, as well as at numerous events throughout Switzerland, as well as in France, Germany, and the Netherlands. I give between 60 and 70 concerts per year.
I also have several experiences as a musician, producer and composer in professional studios in France, Norway and Switzerland.

Today, I want to share my experience with you and share what I've learned and what I'm learning! I also teach music production, composition, and guitar. We can expand the scope of our classes depending on your preferences.
