About Me

Music’s greatest gift is to provide a common ground for human curiosity between people that otherwise would never meet.

I am singer, classically trained with a main focus in early music and voice embodiment. I also studied recorder, clarinet and musicology.

As a teacher and performer, I focus on a joyful, healthy and technically skilled way of singing. I focus not only on the sound production, but also on body posture, relaxation and organic movement. An happy and relaxed body creates a beautiful, natural and relaxed sound.
We choose the repertoire together and work together towards developing your voice, your expressivity, text and style interpretation at your fullest potential.

I have experience teaching several music genres, from classical, jazz, pop, folk music and even extended vocal techniques like growls. I am quite open to the students requests and always willing to research deeper and expand my vocal vocabulary.

Singing is a vulnerable, intimate and also communal act. Sadly, our modern world has mystified it into the sphere of the "born-talent" ideal, which often scares people from even trying to sing. I find this phenomena a cruel and exclusivist perspective on singing.

I consider singing an universal right, and we should all be unashamed of singing, be it in your bathtub, while walking on the street, in a dinner with friends, or in the next open stage at your local bar.

We all have the capacity and the right to sing.
If anybody has told you that you can't sing, they were wrong. Like any skill, you can learn it.
And if you sing, you, your body, and your soul will be happier.

One of my students once said: "You come for a singing lesson and you discover something new about who you are". I think that would summarize well the space I try to create in my lessons.

My primary focus is on creating a personal connection and approach to the chosen instruments and to music in general. This includes (depending on your wishes, of course) your own musical expression, improvisation, songwriting (with lyrics if desired), song accompaniment and improvisation, as well as music theory and instrument-specific references.

Stylistically, the focus is on blues, rock, folk pop and world music, with strong references and influences from classical music, hip hop, electronic music and jazz.

Course for beginners and advanced students

My course focuses on the personal realtion between the individual, the chosen instruments and the music itself. This includes musical expression, improvisation, songwriting, songwriting, interpretation as well as music theory and specific aspects of the instrument.

My musical background lies between blues, folk, rock, pop and world music with influences from classical, as well as electronic music, hip hop and jazz.

Hello , I am an Argentinian/Italian pianist and composer currently in Basel for a master in Jazz Campus.

For the last 15 years I have been teaching private lessons and in music schools.

I also have experience in group classes, teaching harmony, ear training and improvisation.

Although my main focus is Jazz, I have trained classical for many years.

I like to help people to relate to the essence of the music and to understand the pieces, in order to be able to perform them better or improvise.

Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions!

I offer beginners' classes in piano and harpsichord for any age, and can additionally provide the basics in music theory.
A passionate learner myself, I started harpsichord at age 5 and have recently graduated with a Masters from the Hochschule für Musik Basel in Specialized Performance (Improvisation). My experience teaching started in New York where I taught school students piano and music theory. I am also a professional continuo player accompanying Baroque orchestras on the harpsichord, as well as a composer of experimental music.
My experience in very different musical scenes gives me a unique approach to studying that allows me to adapt the content and structure of lessons according to where the student wants to develop their skills. This can include focus on exercises like scales and arpeggios; studying simple pieces from Classical, Baroque or even Pop repertoire; figured bass; body posture awareness; and trying more experimental things through free improvisation techniques! I've also found that accompanying practice with theory helps to deepen one's understanding and joy at learning this beautiful music.
I really enjoy passing on my enthusiasm for music, whether the student has specific goals and needs or is simply curious to start with the basics. If you're curious don't hesitate to reach out :)

My name is Léna, and I offer violin lessons for all ages and skill levels. I have many years of experience in private instruction and am currently completing my Master of Pedagogy at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts (FHNW) in Basel. I particularly enjoy the duality of learning: building a solid foundation and working on technique, which ultimately allows one to experience complete freedom and joy on the instrument. I personally find the balance between the two by working according to the principles of the Alexander Technique and paying attention to physical health and the sustainability of playing. I implement this in my teaching; I find it very important to tailor the lessons, exercises, and method closely to the goals and personality of the students.

I also have a master's degree in violin with an old scale, which I completed at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Early music is my other great passion, so there's always the opportunity to learn about historical performance practice!

After more than 23 years of playing this wonderful instrument, the freedom of music still inspires me and keeps me going.

I look forward to accompanying you on your musical journey!

I am a piano teacher with over 30 years of experience, passionate about nurturing musical talent at every age and level. I have taught at esteemed institutions such as the Franz Schubert Conservatory in Vienna, and many of my students have gone on to succeed in auditions at top conservatories like the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hannover.

My students have also won national and international competitions including Premio Crescendo (Florence), Prima la Musica (Austria), the Grand Prize Virtuoso (Los Angeles, New York, Vienna, Berlin, Salzburg), and the Brno Mozart International Piano Competition.

Over the years, I have developed a unique and effective method for teaching young children, starting from age 3, all the way to university-level students and adult beginners. My approach focuses on developing a strong ear and making learning both joyful and fulfilling.

Outside of teaching, I love spending time outdoors with my dogs, reading, playing tennis, and enjoying time with my daughter.

Hey! Want to learn guitar from scratch or improve your skills? Then you're in the right place!

I'm Gianni – a professional musician with over 10 years of experience and a master's degree in music education. I play guitar, double bass, and electric bass in a variety of stylistic projects.
When teaching, it's important to me that you enjoy the learning process and start making music from day one. You don't need to know lots of notes or chords to have a great time with music!

Depending on your interests, we can focus on technique, repertoire, reading music, music theory, improvisation, coordination (like singing and playing at the same time), and much more.
Lessons can take place in German, Swiss German, English, Italian, Portuguese, or Spanish.

Flute lessons with me are about much more than just technique. Everyone learns differently, so I adapt each lesson individually, creating a relaxed and motivating atmosphere. Together we will discover, explore, and be creative – while always keeping the joy of music at the center.
Lessons are open to both children and adults. My goal is simple: that you come to every lesson with a smile and develop a true love for music.

I have a university degree in singing, classical violin and classical music theory and am also a graduate of a:

* DEM in jazz singing at the CRR in Paris
* Bachelor in jazz singing at HEMU
* Master in Performance at HEMU
* Master in pedagogy at the Jazzcampus Basel

I teach in French, English, German or Swedish.

- I always focus on the student and their level. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced singer, I work with a method and targeted exercises to achieve each individual's goals (college entrance exam, concert, or hobby).

- The lesson always includes a physical and vocal warm-up, followed by purely musical work.
We work on hearing, phrasing and interpretation of the text.

- If you need vocal coaching, no problem. I'll teach you how to speak confidently in front of an audience, with a free, calm, and clear voice.

- I am a passionate teacher who loves to share and pass on her love of music and her passion for singing and voice :)
