#1 MONTREAL VOCAL COACH- I'm a professional artist who teaches at the University. You'll learn singing, piano and more!

Hi to everybody! :)

My name is Stef, I am a lyrical singer from Barcelona who currently lives in Montréal (and I love it!).

I teach singing, piano and musical theory for ALL AGES and GENRES!

About SINGING, I am going to teach you how to use your voice in a healthy way.
In class, we'll learn about:
- Body awareness
- Support (yes, we'll talk about the diaphragm!)
- Breathing
- Phonation
- Tuning
- Phrasing
- Declamation
- Projection
- Confidence
- Stage presence
- Communication through emotions
- Piano self-accompaniment (so you can give proper concerts to your beloved ones!)
- And MORE!!

If you feel interested about the vocal world and you want to begin or improve and expand your knowledge, drop me a line. Tell me which repertoire you want to work with and let's sing it!

About PIANO and MUSICAL THEORY lessons, they are based on a super piano book. With that and my technique you'll learn a lot! For kids, I have several books that are fantastic for them as well!

Also, I'm here to help you with your EXAMS and AUDITIONS :)

My philosophy is QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. To achieve that, it's important to establish a trust-based relationship between us. My lessons are taken in a comfortable and open-minded environment. I find this point essential to feel free and make music from the heart.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate to contact me to book your first lesson! It will be a big pleasure to work with you :)

Remember: FUN is mandatory! :D

Mathieu
Music theory, reading and solfege lessons for all levels
Diploma in music education at the Royal Conservatory of Liège in Belgium, I teach music reading (sight reading, note reading, rhythm reading), but also theory and basic notions of harmony. All levels from 7 years old. Lessons on site or at my home (having a keyboard at home is a plus).

Nadine
Guitar, oud, piano, composition, music theory lessons
**Instruments:** - **Guitar:** Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced - **Keyboard:** Beginner, Intermediate - **Lute and Oud:** Beginner, Intermediate - **Piano:** Beginner, Intermediate - **Piano Jazz / Pop:** Beginner, Intermediate - **Songwriting and Composition:** Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced - **Theory and Ear Training:** Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced **Biography:** Nadine holds a B.F.A. in Integrative Music Studies from Concordia University with a focus on guitar. She has been a certified teacher at Montreal Academy since 2009. As a vibrant presence in Montreal’s music scene, Nadine performs regularly with her solo project as well as with various local and international artists. Her musical journey began at the age of five, inspired by her grandmother's Arabic piano classics. She transitioned to guitar during high school, where she played in rock bands, and continued her studies in jazz and classical guitar at CEGEP and university. Over the past six years, she has delved into the oud, integrating it into her original compositions. With 26 years of teaching experience, Nadine offers instruction in a diverse range of styles, including Pop, Funk, Blues, Rock, R&B, Jazz, and Classical. Whether you aim to learn an instrument, write songs, prepare for an audition, or explore creativity across various musical genres, Nadine provides the tools and guidance needed to achieve your goals. Her lessons cover sight-reading, songwriting, ear training, improvisation, fingerpicking techniques, and more, all tailored to each student’s musical interests.

Emma
Classical / jazz piano lessons and / or singing lessons at home for all levels
Graduated with a Diploma of Professional and Advanced Studies and a Master's degree in piano performance at the University of Montreal, I also obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies with A+ mention from the Jacques Thibaud Conservatory of Bordeaux in France. I have been working as a piano teacher for eight years now. I teach piano and music theory to all types of profiles, children, adolescents or adults ranging from a beginner to a professional level. During my musical journey, I tried to nourish my knowledge in the service of instrumental practice and pedagogy. During my lessons, we will cover subjects that are essential for me such as good position at the piano, flexibility of playing, stress management, bodily relaxation and of course, interpretation. My pedagogy is based heavily on this last point so that the student can stand out musically and find their own language while respecting a fair interpretation. I work every day to find a fun side to instrumental practice for the youngest while instilling in them the theoretical and technical bases they will need to develop their playing.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Lydia
Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

David
(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessons
I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts. I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Łukasz
Online Piano Class - Private Piano Lesson in English
Hi! I am a piano teacher with 10 years of teaching experience. I specialize in online piano teaching and I choose individual program for each of my students. I teach all around the globe, mostly students from China and Canada. I grew up in family of musicians. My father plays the viola in Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, Poland and my mother teaches theory and history of music. I have two sisters who are also musicians. I like sport activities like climbing, cycling, hiking and long walks in the forest. I like Asian and Italian cuisine. My favourite meals are sushi, ramen, pizza and spaghetti pasta. If you want to listen to how I play, here is a link to Gala Concert from Vancouver, Canada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B63AO5spDo A few words about my past music experience: Originally from Poland, I studied in Katowice at Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music (2012-2017) in piano class of professors Anna Górecka and Zbigniew Raubo. Later I moved to Canada to continue my education with professor Lee Kum Sing at Vancouver Academy of Music (2017-2019). During my career I have achieved numerous awards on many significant piano competitions. I become platinum winner at Vancouver International Music Competition in 2017 which was held to celebrate 150th Canada’s birthday. I became Platinum Cash Prize Winner and achieved numerous extra prices. In October 2015 I accomplished the second round of XVII International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. This achievement is a promotion to the top 30 world best young pianists. I achieved 3rd place twice (2013, 2015) in the National Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw, Poland. In 2008, I won the first prize and the Special Award of Elżbieta Stefańska for the best performance of Johann Sebastian Bach piece at the 10th Ludwik Stefański and Halina Czerny-Stefańska Piano Competition in Płock, Poland. Two years later I received second price in the 16th Polish Piano Competition in Konin, Poland and I was awarded the third prize at the International Podkarpacki Chopin Competition held in Rzeszów, Poland. I have been awarded many scholarships, such as those sponsored by the Mayor of my hometown Katowice, the Marshal of Silesian Province and the Polish Prime Minister. I cooperated with Piotr Kler Foundation and recorded three solo CDs with Fryderyk Chopin's music. In 2014 I was the very first to receive a Krystian Zimerman Award for most talented young pianists.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna. No experience needed. All ages. Online-Offline
My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and chamber music, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborated with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. No experience is needed, just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There is no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. It will be a joy to listen to you. Denise P.S. Feel free to suggest any desired schedule since my timetable often changes.

John
Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.
I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard. My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student. Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you. A bit about me: Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Lynette
Find your singing voice. A safe and natural technique to sing classical, opera and music theatre.
I'm a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, London with many years experience as a professional soprano. I've sung with the Madrid Royal opera chorus and the Radio television in Spain and am an established International soloist in Baroque, opera and Contemporary music. I love to share my passion for singing and to help singers achieve a relaxed and secure technique. I like to work on different styles so the full range of colours and sounds can be explored. The voice is an amazing instrument. If you're a beginner wanting to learn the basics or a more advanced singer preparing for exams, roles or auditions, I'd love to help. Preparation for Royal Schools ABRSM Exams available.

Ginette
Personalized Singing Classes, Online or in person, at my home or I travel to the student's home.
In my classes I teach you how to use your voice correctly when singing, improving your breathing, voice, diction, with your favorite song repertoire. The idea is to make it very dynamic so that you fall in love with your voice and are motivated to want to work on it every day. It doesn't matter how old you are, you can learn. Discipline, love for what you do and get to work. COME ON!
