Nothing can help a musician understand music better than music theory. Whether it be improvising over jazz chord progressions, writing a score to a film or even producing beats for rappers and singers, having a good understanding of music theory will make life a lot easier for you.
In this class I will teach you the parts of music theory you need for ABRSM, but also how to use it in your compositions or performances, a tool all musicians should have in their arsenal.
Do you want to make beats you can post online or sell to rappers and singers? Or even just beats for you and your friends to freestyle on? Look no further. As a Spotify Verified artist, I will teach you the tricks of the trade when it comes to music production and how I have been able to produce beats for musicians and myself to publish far and wide.

Making Music in Ableton Live for Beginners and Intermediates
Ableton Live is a powerful production tool used by some of the top producers in the world, but the opportunity to learn how to compose using it is something very few producers learn. This class focusses on understanding and implementing various production techniques using Ableton and could even help you produce like your favourite artist!
Prior knowledge of music/instruments is helpful but not necessary.

Music production and digital sound processing
One of the main objectives of this course is to ensure
that practice in digital audio is represented by
complete. This includes topics such as: virtual studio (DAW)
along with tools like Pro Tools and MIDI controllers;
hard disk recording and multitrack recorders.
The objective of this course is to explain the topic of sound in
simple form, in terms that are acceptable to both the
creative people in production, including authors and
interpreters, and for those who deal operationally with the
sound mixing and recording or with its engineering aspects.
Exploring the common ground of all these groups, the work of
each can be interpreted by the other. It is also
designed for those who would like to explore the techniques of
audio that have been developed in fields that are more remote
than their own, whether radio, musical recording, television or
sound for cinema.

Guitar / Bass / Ukulele / Theory
The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.
Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.
Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.
The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.
We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!
(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)
If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.
In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.
I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

Musical composition. Exercises, Analysis and preparation of works.
In this course we will cover a comprehensive and conceptual analysis of various works and songs, always from a creative and compositional point of view. It will be ordered through central axes, such as: Rhythm; Harmony; Melody; the Formal and Structural problem (Discourse); a tangential look at instrumentation and orchestration.
We will also carry out practical exercises, so that you can elaborate, extend and explore within your own works.

learn Hindustani Classical Music (vocal) and Bhajans
Our rich and traditional Indian Music is deeply rooted in spirituality. Needless to say, being involved with music brings enormous amount of peace, contentment, and bliss to our lives. I am a vocalist and a music practitioner. I am a disciple of Vidushi Sanhita Nandi ji of the Kirana Gharana. I have completed my masters in Classical Music (Vocal) and aim to spread the knowledge gained by my Gurus among those who are sincere and/or passionate for learning Hindustani Classical Music and light music.
The focus of my classes are aimed at the systematic development and aesthetic appeal of Ragas. For students willing to learn music seriously but with little exposure to learning, I begin with various vocal exercises for pitch accuracy and voice culture. Thereafter, I begin the work of Raga development and presentation. I also teach Bhajans for those who wish to learn 'Sugam Sangeet' (light music).)

Electric/Acoustic Guitar/Composition/Music Theory/World Fusion/Improvisation/Alexander's Technique/Meditation
Qualified Teacher of Electric/Acoustic Guitar/Theory and Composition gives lessons specializing in the musical genre of worldfusion.
Techniques taught on electric guitar: rhythm and lead, staccato (alternate picking, economy picking), legato (hammer on, pull off, hybrid picking, bend, strum, palm muting, whammy bar (hard rock, blues, far eastern-middle eastern vocal lines, tapping, sight reading, chords, arpeggios, sweep picking, Ebow, Bottleneck Slide, alternate tunings.
Usually most students are interested in integrating and using these techniques to personify non-European music on the electric guitar, both on an equal temperament and non equal, as the electric guitar can "play" in both worlds equally. Finally, I use embodied self-awareness techniques (body scan, breathing awareness, etc.) which are found in Alexander's Technique and Mindfulness Meditation practices, thus helping to improve the student's technique and musicality on their instrument.
Why would someone prefer you?
My specialization is the electric guitar in the musical idiom of worldfusion, i.e. the osmosis of elements of western popular music with non-European idioms and traditions. The art of music is structured on its 5 worlds: melody, harmony, rhythm, form and timbre. On a cross-cultural level, one can equate each of these 5 parameters with a musical culture and thus unlimited possibilities of original musical creation can arise. For example, imagine a musical composition or improvisation with Indian melody, jazz harmony, Greek rhythm, in ballad form with rock timbre. My teaching can be focused for anyone interested in learning ways to achieve similar musical combinations. Also, due to my studies in the sciences of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnomusicology, all technical and theoretical musical knowledge is also documented on a historical and cultural level based on selected scientific literature that I provide to the student.
All in all, together we can explore its worlds:
A) popular music (rock, pop, metal, indie, blues, progressive, world music, ambient, cinematic)
B) western art music (medieval, Baroque Renaissance, Classicism, Romanticism, 20th century)
C) traditional and non-European music (Greece, Balkans, Ireland, India, China, Japan and Indonesia, Africa and the Middle East)
D) methods of embodied self-awareness (Mindfulness Meditation, Alexander's Technique)

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.

classical, acoustic or electric guitar lessons online from Transylvania, Romania
I've been teaching guitar for over 13 years and I've developed my own and original method created for each individual student, following their musical desires and inclinations. I rely more on practical than theoretical teaching and I go a lot on improvisation, the development of musical memory and the effective preparation of the student to go on stage, the formation of a band or his development as a composer or the use of technology in music and work in the studio as a guitarist and music producer.
