My piano lessons are aimed at beginners as well as more experienced students. We will start by defining together what your objectives are in order to find a learning pace that suits you. I offer a global approach to the piano combining technique, interpretation of pieces of varied styles and improvisation/music theory. A course is generally structured as follows:
1. 5 to 10 minutes of technical work.
The development of effective gestures is essential in order to fully express one's musical potential. I offer progressive exercises allowing you to acquire the basics of piano technique (finger independence, velocity, hand coordination, arm mobility, posture, etc.). For young students, this work takes the form of keyboard games. Just like a sport, playing an instrument is a challenge for the body: I ensure that the student adopts a good posture on the instrument, in order to play with control and to avoid tension and injuries linked to an inattentive practice.
2. Interpretation.
I propose strategies for structuring the learning of a piece, in order to optimize the time spent working on the piano and to make the student autonomous in their practice. My training at the conservatory allows me to introduce you to the styles of different eras of classical music, from baroque to the present day. I am also open to other musical universes, and the choice of pieces is primarily based on your tastes and desires.
For the youngest students, I offer a suitable repertoire (arrangements of classical pieces, film music, video games, anime, songs), as well as simplified scores for a gradual introduction to reading. In order to cultivate motivation, it is important that students play music that speaks to them and that they are not discouraged by music theory.
3. Improvisation and music theory.
For students who are beginners or have never done music theory, I teach the necessary theoretical bases (orientating themselves on the keyboard, reading a score, rhythm, listening), often in the form of improvisation games. In addition to developing a personal connection with the instrument, improvisation also allows you to assimilate notions of harmony/counterpoint (scales, intervals, chords) through practice, and to understand little by little how music is constructed. To make the link with the repertoire being worked on in class, I often suggest taking an element of a piece as a starting point for improvising.
Of course, nothing obliges us to follow a particular plan, and if you come with a particular desire or a specific objective, I will try to meet your expectations as best as possible. I look forward to reading you, and sharing some beautiful moments of music together.
