CLARINET LESSONS (Classical/Klezmer/Jazz) PROFESSOR GRADUATE FROM THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF MUSIC AND CONSERVATORY OF PARIS

From 37.51 £ /h

Welcome :)

If you want to learn the clarinet, you've come to the right place!
I am a professional clarinetist myself, graduated from the Royal College of Music in London (Global No. 1 Institution for Performing Arts).
I am currently pursuing my concert career between Paris and London.

Between us the choice to become a clarinetist is admit the original!
But why this instrument rather than another?

I was hesitant myself when I started. I found the sax.. “cooler”.
But I finally fell in love with the clarinet.
This instrument offers an incredible variety of repertoire!

First of all Classical Music:
The clarinet developed at the same time as Mozart. The composer was immediately seduced by this new instrument with its soft, pearly sound; he fell in love with her and wrote a magnificent concerto for her (one of the most beautiful ;)). Subsequently, composers such as Weber, Schumann and Brahms will deploy all their knowledge and sensitivity to make the clarinet sing.

Jazz:
Since the appearance of this new genre, the clarinet reigns as a diva among instruments. Gershwin dedicated a legendary solo to him in “Rhapsody in Blue”. The instrument shines with this effect of its own: the glissando (sliding from one note to another in a progressive and continuous manner).
Subsequently, clarinetists such as Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Buddy de Franco... will forever mark the history of Jazz with their wild solos.

Klezmer:
If you don't know this genre, don't wait. Open Spotify or YouTube and type “Giora Feidmann Let's be Happy”.
Sorry for your neighbors. You won't be able to resist the urge to dance and jump around.
The clarinet, through the variety of sounds it can produce, perfectly imitates the modulations of the human voice: laughter, crying, singing...

How not to fall instantly in love with this instrument which allows such a wide range of expressions?

I have been teaching for 6 years now and enjoy sharing my passion for music on stage as much as in a more intimate setting during a private lesson.
I had the opportunity to refine my pedagogy throughout my various experiences in teaching and find simple and effective methods to allow the student to progress quickly.

My career as a classical conservatory musician and Jazz/Klezmer concert performer gives me the opportunity to offer a varied education.

I guarantee that in a month you will already be performing your first track in front of your awe-inspiring family!

I offer private lessons of Clarinet and or Solfège for children, adults, all ages from beginner to intermediate / advanced level (1st cycle / CEM / Specialized cycle).

My teaching is based on a personalized musical follow-up: Discovery - Methodical learning - Initiation to improvisation, Jazz or Klezmer - Perfection

-THE PLEASURE OF PLAYING-
Music is a game.
Despite the difficulties that the student may encounter in his progress, it is very important never to lose this fundamental dimension.
Mozart was also of a very mischievous nature and it was said of him that he was an eternal child!

My goal as a teacher is above all to transmit a passion for music. Learning an instrument can be long and tedious and the approach of some conservatory teachers is sometimes abrupt and academic. For my part, I favor a playful teaching adapting to the capacities of each one.

My experience as a concert performer in the Jazz/Klezmer group Kanaï Trio, of which I am the founding member, offers me the possibility of extending my teaching to improvisation and to different musical styles (Jazz, Traditional Yiddish/Klezmer Music, Eastern Europe, the Balkans).

My classical music studies at the Conservatoire Régional de Paris allowed me to develop my instrumental technique but also my knowledge of musical analysis, music theory, singing and music history. I consider these theoretical fundamentals essential to the study of an instrument. The student must above all understand the music before being able to flourish in the interpretation of the piece.

One of the common difficulties for beginners or intermediate students is not being able to manage the air well, running out of steam quickly and thus losing the pleasure of performing an entire piece. In reality, the clarinet does not require the endurance of a marathon runner, but just an appropriate breathing technique: I have therefore developed a method based on breathing exercises, the search for good posture (specific to each pupil) and physical relaxation (with the elimination of tensions and parasitic gestures). The student will also have simple and effective technical tools to quickly overcome difficulties (placement of the mouthpiece, precise positioning of the fingers, etc.).

See you soon ! :)

Extra information

I have taken a real passion for teaching since obtaining my diploma from the CRR of Paris and has already been offering private lessons for several years.
My career as a classical conservatory musician and Jazz/Klezmer concert performer gives me the opportunity to offer a varied education.
I did a large part of my studies at the Royal College of Music and at the Paris Regional Conservatory in the class of Franck Amet (professor at the CNSM in Lyon) then Alexandre Chabod (soloist at the Paris Opera).
At the same time, I took Jazz lessons in the class of Pascal Gaubert then within a CMA9 course but also in Klezmer with Heida Johannsdottir (founder of the Klezmer Kaos group).
These different lessons have enriched my educational experience both humanly and musically.

About Me

My lessons always take place in a friendly, supportive environment.
I adapt my methodology to the specific needs of my students and give them the tools to improve with confidence and musical awareness!

Learning an instrument can be sometimes difficult, especially at the beginning, it's easy to get lost and discouraged. With just one lesson a week, we spend most of the time by ourselves trying to figure out how to make a sound with the instrument!
This is why my priority is to teach the student how to become his own teacher.
As musicians, we keep learning and improving throughout our lives; but most of the time we are by ourselves in the practice room and we have to take on both roles to progress: being our own teacher and student.
By experimentation, research and active listening, we will develop your own personalised method together.

The development of your musical creativity will also be our main goal; understanding the meaning of each piece, searching together for different ways of interpreting and the technical execution on the instrument to achieve it.

I believe in teaching in a way that encourages exchange between student and teacher and I never try to impose a rigid method on my students. Although serious and demanding, I adapt to the pace of each student.
Hello there!

I am Raphael, a professional clarinettist and teacher with over 6 years of teaching experience.

I am passionate about sharing my love for music and clarinet playing. Teaching has always been at the very heart of my instrumental practice.

LESSONS CAN BE IN FRENCH, ITALIAN, ENGLISH

Hello,

I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.

My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.

All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- 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.

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

I am currently training at the conservatory, where I am working on composition, music theory and musical creation.

My background blends classical practice, contemporary music, and sound engineering. This diversity allows me to tailor lessons to each student, according to their desires, level, and sensibilities.

My approach to the piano is based on listening, the relationship to sound and musical expression. I am as interested in technique as I am in what it allows me to say and feel.

The courses are designed as a space for progressive learning, respectful of each individual's pace, particularly suited to adult beginners or those returning to the piano after a break.

I teach on acoustic or digital piano, and I adapt the content according to the musical tastes and objectives of the student.
