CLARINET LESSONS and/or SOLFÈGE - the pleasure of sharing
For the lessons I always adopt a flexible method depending on the person I am talking to, by making him explore his own limits and trying to overcome them together, respecting the different rhythm of each one. Always with a rigorous but fun work atmosphere!!

Saxophone lessons for beginner/intermediate/advanced level
Learning basic techniques, music theory, improvisation and ear development are part of the training. The saxophone course is personalized depending on whether it is a beginner or an advanced student. Beginner students will learn the solid basics, such as: good posture, good breathing, producing a beautiful sound, scale exercises, reading sheet music, basic rhythmic exercises. We will perform these exercises from different scores, which I can provide if necessary, and at the same time I also try to convey my own experiences. In general, I first show the exercise on my instrument and then let the student try to play it. We often play together. For advanced students, we will learn more complex pieces, more difficult harmonic and rhythmic exercises, thus expanding the limits of the instrument. Classes also include some music theory and history of music during class. I also consider it important to show how one can work effectively alone.

Lyrical singing
Do you like to sing? Do you want to increase your abilities? Do you want to learn to use the full range of your voice with taste and pleasure? I am a professional singer with experience in teaching singing. I graduated in Master's degree in Performance at the Academy of Arts in Slovakia and at the HEM in Master's degree in Specialized Interpreting in Geneva. During my studies I attended several master classes with famous artists like Mirella Freni, Patricia Petibon, Mara Zampieri, Luciana D'Intino and many others. My classes are suitable for all levels (from 14 years old) and are personalized according to the individual needs of each student. I give my shopping in French, English, Italian and Hungarian. The program consists of - Pose the voice: you learn the vocal technique with the use of deep breathing with the diaphragm and the toric breaking and to emit the full, round and vibrating sounds, without vacillation or trembling, with ease without forcing the volume of the voice. - Repertoire: the range of the lyric repertoire is very wide. You have to find the right personal piece for everyone at the base of their voice, preferences and musical taste. - Emotions: with music one can express a very wide range of emotions. To be able to express emotions that you want, you have to know and understand them. With the help of specific excercises we can learn how to memorize positive emotions and how to overcome negative emotions such as stalking. - Solfége: for beginners I also propose the course of the solfége base (the musical writing, the rhythm and the musical theory) on request, which can be part of the singing course. The course can take place at addresses in Geneva or at the student's home in Geneva.
