Bass Guitar & Music Theory Lessons | Online & In-Person

My name is Lawrence. I'm currently offering limited teaching slots to new online and face-to-face students from my studio in Hackney Wick and home studio in Leyton.

As a tutor, I aim to build a solid technique and theoretical understanding relevant to students’ interests. This allows the student a foundation of tools to further their creative and technical studies and harness their own sound and voice through music. I teach electric bass and music theory from beginner to advanced students within soul, pop, funk, hip-hop, jazz fusion, metal prog, and more.

I have over 8 years of private and instituional teaching experience. I have taught juniors at The British Institute of Modern Music in Brighton and degree-level students at The Waterbrear College of Music in Brighton. I also possess a BA(Hons) in music performance, and I'm certified with an enhanced CRB/DBS, Child Safeguarding & First Aid at Work.

If you’d like to work towards gaining accreditation, I have experience working with both Trinty & MTB Exams curriculum.

Johanna
Piano and Music Theory lessons for students of all ages
I believe music lessons can be a real joy and it is very important to me that my lessons inspire students to develop a passion for it! I approach all my students individually and build up lessons in compliance with their goals and needs. If your goal is to take exams (ABRSM, Trinity) or if you want to learn how to play your favourite song on piano I will make the piano transcriptions considering your level and technical ability. Piano and theory lessons up to grade 8 Preparing for ABRSM and Trinity exams Classical, pop, jazz

Denise
Singing classes for all age students and different vocal styles (pop, folk or classical) Online or Offline in Vienna
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I hope to read from you soon and to make music together. All my best, Denise P.S. My schedule is mostly a suggestion since I'm constantly editing and adapting to a work schedule, please feel free to send me a message regarding your schedule needs and suggestions in order to give you the best service.

Learn to play the guitar (for beginners) or improve your playing (for experts)
My approach to the lessons is based on creating them on a student's scale, based on all the needs he expresses and on the basis of his potential. Enthusiasm and motivation are the main means I use to convey the technical / theoretical notions and the love for music. The lessons are dedicated to all ages and all levels.

Guitar and bass in English! Guitar, Electric Bass and Song Production!
I'm a musician, teacher and DJ from New York City. In the Geneva area teaching kids and adults, from absolute beginners to intermediate and advanced students. We use songs that students like, tailoring classes to the individual student. As well as teaching privately and through Aprentus, I've been a teacher at La Grande Boissière and GEMS Academy in Etoy. Parents and School references available on request. In New York city, I was an adjunct professor teaching for 4 years at Long Island University in Brooklyn. The courses were in music software programs (Reason, Garageband, Ableton). Students learnt to produce and mix their own songs in various styles — hip hop, reggae, house, electro as well as music for animation and film. In addition, I've composed music for television and have a long history of DJing in NY clubs and releasing music, vinyl and digital which I've continued to do since moving to Geneva.

Violin and music theory lessons for beginners and intermediate players
Professional academic lessons in an amusing way. We will work on music theory and reading, and how to produce a good sound out of the violin with the right posture. We are also going to work on sound production and how to have a distinct character in playing aside from developing the technical ability.

Drummer and percussionist for 20 years, graduated from the Brussels and Mons Conservatories, I teach drums, percussion and music theory. My course is based first and foremost on you. Whether on drums, marimba, percussion or music theory, I am attentive to your expectations and develop with you a program adapted to your abilities, your difficulties as well as your objectives. It is aimed at everyone, children and adults, complete beginners and more experienced musicians looking for advice, a method or outside advice. I attach crucial importance to autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening, the latter being the pillar of my method. We progress gradually, paying attention to technique as well as position, musicality and ear. I teach: -drums in many styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, linear, world music, Latin music, songs on demand) and in its many forms (Moeller technique, speed, application of the rudiments, syncopation, breaks , solos, independence, musicality, double pedal, etc.); -percussion (marimba and 4-stick vibraphone, xylophone, timpani, cajón, small percussion), in contemporary but also more classic styles (classical music, baroque, etc.); -music theory, which can be integrated into the course if necessary, but also be the subject of a course in its own right for students who want support for their courses at the academy or at the Conservatory; -techniques for reading scores, as well as sight reading; - absolute pitch and relative pitch (experimental)

Piano Lessons with the Best Colombian Young Pianist!
Considered “Best Colombian Young Pianist 2018” after winning the first prize in the national piano competition in Colombia. I have a Master's degree from Liszt Ferenc in Budapest, Hungary, and a Master's degree from Columbus State University in the United States. I am currently a piano professor and collaborative pianist at the Universidad del Valle and Conservatorio "Antonio María Valencia" in Colombia. Besides my career as a pianist, I have over 10 years of experience in teaching Piano, music theory, and history for all ages and categories. Even if you are a beginner we can make it! I have a personal method where I combine both classical and commercial repertoire depending on the student’s preferences. I usually play four hands with my students as well and organize at least one concert a year with all my students where they can meet and share their experiences. If you are an enthusiast about piano competitions, we can also work on that together. I will guide and support you through all the steps of the learning experience.

Learn Piano and Improvisation and practice other languages :)
The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing! The class duration: You can choose! 20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old) 30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old) 45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners) 1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory) I use different methods depending on: 1) The goals of my student 2) The language that we will use on class 3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.
