    Classes in music theory and practical musicianship

    Music theory is the foundation of all playing. You will never find a great musician who isn’t equally as good at playing the instrument as they are and understanding and analysing the piece too.

    I am a strong believer in making links between what someone is currently playing to what they will learn.
    If someone’s a beginner then it’s important to look at chords, intervals, key signatures etc..
    If you’re a bit further in your playing then we can look at Bach chorales, stereotypical features in genres and styles of music, progressions of ideas throughout music history and more.
    Finally a person that is very advanced in music may know a lot of theory (by previous lessons or playing experience) and then it’s important to tie in not just advanced concepts in theory but also in history, culture and philosophy of music too. This could be something like deep diving into Charles Mingus’ “Haitian fight song” which uses huge amounts of ideas from Afro-Caribbean folk music, bebop and interpretive jazz. Then looking at the history behind it if oppression, freedom, patriotism and the cultural shift of a former slave nation.

    Extra information

    Use any form of note taking you prefer (pen and paper is usually the easiest), manuscript paper and any pieces or songs you’re currently learning.

    About Me

    I’m a very outgoing and talkative person. I have a deep love of all the subjects I have taken and learned, I often explain concepts in music, biology and chemistry - even though it lands on deaf ears.
    I think whenever learning a new skill or topic it’s best to learn it practically or with a real world example. I have found this helps the information stick better and helps the student be more excited to learn more.

    Education

    Advanced higher chemistry, biology and music.
    Higher maths, English, biology, chemistry and music.
    I have Grade 5 music theory, grade 8 singing, grade 8 and grade 8 in organ too.

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have tutored a few people from National 5 - advanced higher in biology and chemistry.
    I help teach classes each week in beginner music theory.
    I have taught an advanced higher music class.
    I coached rowing for 2 years.
    I helped a botanics society in my old school for about a year.
    The arts are vital for development and self expression. As children we learn, play and communicate with songs and rhymes, as we get older our music taste can often help in defining and finding out more about ourselves. There are also studies showing that learning an instrument can aid communication skills, maturity and keep the brain functioning into older age. In my lessons I aim to teach instruments to anyone who is interested in exams, playing for fun or if they want to learn another skill for it’s mental benefits. I have a grade 8 in trumpet, singing and organ and i have experience playing in a variety of different ensembles and genres. I have also taught many people theory, instruments and exam techniques for music. If you’re interested in any of the instruments I offer lessons but are hesitant to start. I urge you to give it a go.
    Biology and chemistry are the sciences of interaction. Lots of intricate science is present everywhere be that in nature or man made. For example, cars paint is a great example of d-orbital electron transitioning colour theory, snow flakes forming is a classic example of reaction feasibility and freckling of different cost colours in cats can determine their gender. In my approach to teaching and tutoring biology and chemistry, I think it’s very important to take and use these abstract concepts and make them more tangible ideas. This I have found to help myself with learning these topics and I am confident that it is effective for other students too. I have had tutoring experience for National 5 biology, higher and advanced higher chemistry and I help teach younger classes in a botanics society.

    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.

    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.

    Eirini
    CLASSICAL, JAZZ/ MODERN PIANO AND RHYTHM COMPLEXITY
    The older I get, the more I love. Especially during these times of immense ugliness and hate, wars and conflict, music- that's always been all about love - is the home I keep returning to. To me, mentoring someone is all about sharing the love for the instrument, thirst about the material, desire to explore new musical paths and respect for whatever happens whilst playing. Not only we will explore technical paths and understand rhythm under a totally different light but also communicate through improvisation and modal principles. My goal is for you to love the instrument a bit more, music a bit more and as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself". So let's explore together the painstakingly beautiful process of music through the inner child.

    Music History Lessons Tailored to All Needs and Interests
    My teaching method is carefully tailored to the specific needs of each student, regardless of the subject we are working on (music theory, cello, music history, analysis, conducting, etc.). The pace of learning is always set by the student, ensuring that each lesson aligns realistically with their goals and interests. Whether you’re looking for a more flexible, amateur approach — open to diverse content — or require a rigorous plan oriented toward exams, auditions, or academic improvement, I design a personalized educational pathway. My approach is rooted in a highly practical vision of learning, based on the educational model in which I was trained during my master’s degrees in Conducting (Antwerp) and Historical Cello (Brussels). I understand teaching as a dynamic process where deep understanding takes precedence over rote memorization.

    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 :)
