My teaching method is personal, I adapt to the needs of the student or group of students. Motivation and the pleasure of learning is the most important aspect for me.

I also use the RCM system as well as certain approaches from Suzuki, Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique to have fluidity of movement with the cello and a comfortable, tension-free posture.

Preparation for exams, recitals and festivals as well as university auditions. I have been teaching cello and theory for over 15 years, all ages (from 5 years old to adults) and all levels (beginner to advanced). I am able to teach in English, French or Spanish if the person wishes or wants to practice the language.

My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible.
One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore!

Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time.
I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group.
I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me.
I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like.

I will teach you:
- to read tablatures,
- the basics of music theory such as scales,
- the notion of rhythm and how to hold it,
- different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick)

I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!

Offers guitar lessons, general music theory, jazz theory and / or audio production (use of various audio recording, mixing and mastering software).
I can move if there is a metro near the destination.
For audio production courses, you must have your own hardware (if you do not have one I can make free software recommendations).

Born and raised in England, I have been teaching cello at all levels for 20 years. My aim is to guide you to become a thoughtful and passionate cellist from the very first lesson. You will acquire all the fundamentals, enabling you to master not only the instrument, but also to understand the language of music through friendly and personalized lessons. I look forward to working with you!

Cellist for 16 years, and after having validated my "Diploma of Musical Studies" (diploma of end of normal studies) at the Conservatory of Saint Maur des Fossés, I then studied for 2 years in the class of Xavier Gagnepain at the Conservatory Regional Outreach of Boulogne-Billancourt.

I worked for the last 2 years in a recognized French organization of home lessons during which I taught cello as well as music theory to different student profiles (Children, Adults...).

Do you or your child want to broaden your musical horizons?
Learn how to integrate technology into your music learning?
Want to know how to turn a song idea into an audio file professionally?
Maybe just introduce you to music in general?
Or deepen your knowledge of computer composition?

YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! ☺♫

What I offer:
→ Complete training in DAW software (Ableton Live and others!)
→ In-depth exploration of electronic instruments (synthesizers, MIDI controllers)
→ Instrumental recording techniques and construction of audio models
→ Hearing training and awareness of the different characteristics of sound (timbre, pitch, audio effects)
→ Experimental sound creation and sound design (eg: reproducing the roar of the T-REX)
→ Introduction to music theory and composition
→ Support and coaching for your musical project
→ What you think is relevant to your journey!

The course will be adapted to your needs and all subjects are adaptable to your level!
Simple, fun and enriching!

But why learn all this?
→ Computers today have an essential and central role in music in general. No matter what musical style you listen to, it is necessary that these artists have used DAW technologies to deliver their piece to you. Also, the accessibility of software today allows anyone with an artistic intention to be able to exploit it and offer it to the general public.

¤ Computer access is ideal for taking classes, but I am open to discussing alternative options! ¤
