Learn to play the piano without going through music theory.

From 30.34 £ /h

Axel, 37 years old, composer and piano teacher.

I was born visually impaired and cannot read music. I know music theory, but it is of no use to me when I have a score in front of me because I cannot see what is written on it.
That being said, I have been composing and giving piano lessons for 10 years now and I am a member of SACEM.

I know pianos well since I started tuning and repairing them before realizing that I actually preferred playing on them...
A very important point for me is to make music accessible, we say "play music". You have to enjoy yourself from the first notes otherwise it's pointless! Pleasure is a driving force no matter the field, if you play the piano just to say play, it's pointless. In my case I still have as much fun as when I started and I'm keen to pass on this passion!

This course is intended for those who wish to learn to play an instrument. I started playing the piano since I was 8 and have never stopped since. The objective is to learn the basics smoothly if you are a beginner, or to start playing more complicated pieces if you already have a little mastery of the instrument. I will be delighted to pass on my passion for the piano to you!

I offer piano lessons at your home for intermediate and advanced levels in English. The music theory and harmony lessons are integrated into the course, if necessary, for better music understanding and therefore ability to express oneself.
I have been teaching from young students to adults in various levels, from beginners to young professionals for 15 years. My teaching is based on my own experiences as a student, fellow teacher of musicians of the highest level and performer.
Lessons are adapted to student's wishes and needs.

*French Version below*

I am an international student from India in Lille for 6 months. In this time, I wish to spread my knowledge of piano (for which I have completed up to grade 7 from Trinity College London).

I can provide help in basic musical (notation, timings, rhythm, etc). Moreover, I can help students with their grade examination preparation (for scales, pieces, app regions, etc)

If after the first lesson, the student connects with my teaching methods, they may choose to continue.

NOTE: The class will be undertaken in English.

French Version: (excuse the google translated version)
Je suis un étudiant international de l'Inde à Lille depuis 6 mois. En ce moment, je souhaite diffuser mes connaissances du piano (pour lesquelles j'ai terminé jusqu'en 7e année au Trinity College de Londres).

Je peux vous aider dans la musique de base (notation, timings, rythme, etc.). De plus, je peux aider les étudiants dans leur préparation aux examens (pour les échelles, les pièces, les appregios, etc.)

Si aprés la premiére leçon, l'étudiant se connecte à mes méthodes d'enseignement, il peut choisir de continuer.

NOTE: Le cours se déroulera en Anglais.

Whether you have never touched a piano, whether you only have the basics, whether you have difficulties or facilities, I will be able to give you lessons that will make you progress very quickly.

My learning at the conservatory explained everything to me about academic methods and my self-taught learning allows me to know how to learn the piano without a teacher and regular lessons.

I have about twenty performances to my credit including about ten concerts over more than 10 years of piano, take a look at my presentation for more details,

I met many famous teachers, and I myself was a teacher for self-taught students. I guarantee you rapid progress adapted to your request!

I will be able to help you on all styles of music, and whatever your level. The course can take place at your place or mine.

If you've been thinking about it for a long time but you don't know how to go about it,
If you find that you are not progressing fast enough or that your progress is not satisfactory,
If you want to discover new methods and new ways of seeing and working on your piano,
Don't wait any longer!

Piano is a very sophisticated instrument to learn and play, and it really makes your brain work a lot!!
With this fact being stated, it's not only a great instrument to learn to be a professional musician, but the benefits of learning the piano are really enormous.

A pianist since childhood, I have explored classical music as well as jazz and pop/rock, always looking for new ways to learn and share.

In high school, I co-founded the group The Trickery with Mohammed Belkhir, aka MB14, now an internationally renowned beatboxer (finalist of The Voice, semi-finalist of Britain's Got Talent, actor in Tenor and Cat's Eyes, nominated for the César Revelations 2023).

After studying musicology at Charles de Gaulle University, I co-founded the alternative rock band Silent Elephant. As singer, keyboardist, and composer, we were finalists on Star's Music, signed with the label Unkind Music, and recorded two studio EPs. Our second album, supported by the professional Tour de Chauffe program, was ranked in the top 100 independent albums and EPs of 2016 by critic Adam Marx.

In addition to piano and singing, I'm experimenting with computer music.

My Harry Potter remix has notably surpassed 200,000 views on the Internet.

Today, my ambition is to pass on this passion: to share the musical experience, awaken creativity, and take each student on their own musical journey, whether it be classical piano, jazz, or pop-rock. My approach is informed by both my artistic background and the latest pedagogical research, resulting in patient, rigorous, and deeply human instruction.
