Jacqueline
I introduce myself:
Classical singer, professional soloist, good level pianist,
graduated from conservatories
- from Toulouse: 1st prize for singing / 2nd prize for music theory and sight reading
- from Paris (CNSM) Certificates of musical and vocal culture and piano - singers

On the sidelines, then after a career as a lyrical artist in Paris (Opéra Comique/Théâtre Mogador/Espace Cardin, in the RTLN theaters (including Capitole de Toulouse) and abroad (Switzerland/Belgium/Mauritius) I I have been focused on teaching (singing, beginner piano, music theory) for around 25 years.
Experience with children / adults, amateurs / professionals, singers / instrumentalists
I teach traditional music theory which differs from FM (Musical Training), I briefly explain here the differences, the interest and the advantages.
It is based on tonal music, the progressive study of tones and not intervals outside tonal context.
It recommends the separate acquisition of its various components: rhythm, reading notes, intonation
it results in these well-integrated bases, sung sight reading and written dictation

Why work on music theory as a subject in its own right?
Because, in a course "piano / violin / vocals / clarinet ... + music theory", and as I myself have experienced, the pupil and the teacher, accomplices, always favor the instrument and the learning music theory is done in homeopathic doses. The study of the instrument is nevertheless also slowed down because of the multiple interruptions caused by ignorance of music theory.
I am not suggesting that you "get rid" of music theory because its study, contrary to its reputation, is very interesting. But to diversify the difficulties that you encounter: those relating to the instrumental technique and those due to music theory.

I accompany you on the piano and introduce you to the keyboard. A mini-keyboard allows you to work on your intonation at home also following my instructions.
If the level allows it, I also do instrumental and vocal music theory: music theory applied to the study of your pieces, analyzed, deciphered and accompanied on the piano.
Levels: for more precision, up to level "medium 2"
I recommend a weekly frequency (except possibly school holidays), essential for the effectiveness of the course, as well as a minimum personal work at home.

|Child beginner]

Blue Method

a method that prepares the child to understand the pitch of sounds, to read the notes, to learn the rhythm through card games and songs, by drawing, coloring, and of course the practice of the piano in a way alternate.

[Adult/Teen]

Christophe Astie method

Built to advance step by step and this from beginner level 0 in the understanding of the practice of the instrument and the music, it combines practice and musical theory, and this, in a very progressive way.

A piece or two mastered per week in just 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice are necessary at the start.

A rich and varied repertoire: Classical themes, film music, folk music, blues, boogie, ragtime. In the second half of the year, more pop songs are added.

[Advanced Pianist | Musicians]

After one to three years depending on your development and involvement or for already experienced musicians
Develop more advanced concepts if you already have a solid foundation by working on several modules of your choice:
- harmony
- writing
- the arrangement
- improvisation
- Rhythm
- The shade

The courses are aimed at all types of students wishing to reach a level equivalent to the 3rd cycle conservatory or moving towards free expression games and improvised music.

assess your level:
BEGINNER
You are at Beginner 1 level if you start from zero at the piano Here is what you need to know to consider having acquired this level.

Theory: reading notes in central C position, SOL clef and FA clef / understanding the notions of tone and semitone / quickly identifying notes on the piano / distinguishing left hand and right hand on the score / repeat bar / simple rhythms (black, white, round)

Technique: knowing the numbers for fingering / playing legato on 5 notes, hands separated and hands together, starting on all the white keys / feeling the pulse while playing

Repertoire: pieces whose melody is separated between the 2 hands / many fingerings written so reading notes is optional / rhythms that are simple to read or easy to do by ear because you know the piece / one note at a time in each hand

The 2 pieces of Piano Subito (PBD) are good examples of pieces at this level.
Amazing Grace (gospel, simplified version)
Stand By Me (Ben E. King, simplified version)
Several pieces from Hal Leonard Methods vol. 1, preparatory Bastien and preparatory Alfred.
Several pieces from the book Favorite Classic Melodies (primer level) by James Bastien

INTERMEDIATE
Theory: notes can be read anywhere on the staff, in the 2 keys, including additional lines / formation of dominant seventh chords / good understanding of chord inversions / 6/8 as indicator numbers / classification and qualification of intervals (interval name + major, minor, perfect, augmented or diminished) / know the order of sharps and flats

Technique: scales on 2 octaves hands together (DO – G – D – A – E major, A – D – E, G, C minor) / chords of 3 notes and inversions in all these keys / arpeggios on 2 octaves in eighth hands separated and hands together, root position (DO – G major and A minor) / sequence of chords I-IV-V7-I in other known keys

Repertoire: pieces with arpeggios in the left hand / possible movements in both hands / integrated interpretative elements such as nuances, tempo modifications if requested, playing one hand stronger than the other / rhythm including sixteenth notes / on tackle the ornaments

Mia & Sebastian's Theme (La La Land, PBD version)
Minuet in G major or that in G minor (JS Bach)
Arabesque (Burgmüller)
Rhyme from another summer (Tiersen, simplified version)
Moonlight (Debussy, simplified version)
Soldier's March op. 68 No. 2 (Schumann)
All the boys and the girls (Françoise Hardy, PBD version)
Several pieces from Hal Leonard's Popular Piano Solos (level 3 and 4) notebooks.

Available during our sessions:
- Rönisch baby grand piano.
- a computer with licensed Ableton live 10 (MAO)
- Native Instrument komplete kontrol 13 licensed (MAO)
- Licensed Serum (MAO)
- 2 MIDI ESR 423 Yamaha Keyboards and Control S-88 Native Instrument. (MAO)
