About Me
Hi ThereI'm a professional musician who loves teaching and has enjoyed being able to perform as well as have a varied teaching career. I've taught music and instruments in schools and privately over the past 20 years and feel lucky to have been able to pass on the joy and benefits of learning and instrument and engaging with music.
I really enjoy giving 1-to-1 lessons and seeing the progression in students at all levels. I've trained students for ABRSM and Trinity/Guildhall exams as well as diplomas and conservatoire entrance exams. I also am happy to give lessons without these goals for a more recreational education.
The benefits of 1-to-1 lessons mean that I'm able to tailor my tuition directly to suit the needs of the student but generally, I teach at all levels with a mixture of technical practices and always music/pieces/tunes right from the beginning. I have a core library of music that I wish my students to learn but also I'm happy to have students bring pieces as well as improvisations.

Violin and Music Theory Lessons: Individuals of all levels and ages welcome!
VIOLIN AND/OR MUSIC THEORY LESSONS
When I begin teaching an individual, I make sure that I inspire them and teach them the value and beauty of music. I am very thorough about teaching technique properly so that it will last and be an asset in one's musical future, but I still like to keep my students on their toes and excited about actually making music and adding life to the notes they draw out of their instruments. Each individual is different and has different goals they wish to achieve with their playing, thus, for me it is very important to establish a connection with my students and cater each lesson to their specific needs and learning style.
I have had the pleasure of sharing my love of music with musicians of all ages ever since I began teaching the violin in 2014. I teach both young and mature students, focusing my energy on private lessons. I have also had the opportunity to work with groups of young children at summer programs in collaboration with the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.

maths for students who want to excel in mathematics. i ll let you to that height.
Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. Math is all around us, in everything we do. ... The needs of math arose based on the wants of society. The more complex a society, the more complex the mathematical needs.

Learn To Play Electric And Classical Guitar Like A Pro And Sound The Way You Always Wanted
The guitar is a beautiful instrument that let us express ourselves throughout this gorgeous language called Music.
If you are a beginner who wants to learn how to play guitar from scratch this is the right spot for you. We are going to work on your technique, music knowledge and artistic. We can also tackle any song you and specific topic you are interested in.
If you considered yourself an intermediate player who’s seeking how to move directly forward to the next step these classes are for you. We will work together on every single aspect and detail to take whatever your level is to the next one. In my classes we work on three different axis. The first one is based on the student music knowledge applied to the instrument, we work on things such as intervals, fretboard knowledge, harmony and improvisational concepts. The second one is based on the technique and the correct execution of the instrument and the third one is based on playing music and polishing details to sound better.
If you are an advance player and you want to work on any specific topics or just clear up some questions I’m here to help you the best way I can.
Fabrice
Experienced French Conservatory Professor Shares with You the Secrets to Precise and Expressive Rhythm
Beautiful Rhythm is both precise & expressive. For the musician, it needs to be clear in both the mind & the body.
Whether you are a beginner or a professional seeking help, I will be here for you.
I teach the theory of rhythm and its practice.
I can provide an all-encompassing progressive approach, or some training on a specific music piece (provided the piece really is at your level).
Basic rhythms, or complex rhythm found in music from the Renaissance to contemporary classical music... anything can be addressed.
Again, Rhythm needs to be clear in your mind and your body, therefore the lesson will be tailored around you and the score.
My students often tell me I am very patient.
I'd rather say I am understanding and straightforward.
Actually, please know that I am also demanding: While there is no difficulty that I cannot understand, (and I found it thrilling to find a solution when the student seems stuck) yet I am not interested in approximation.
If after reading this, you are still interested, please drop me a line!
I am here to share my passion with you!
Sincerely,
YOUR Prof.
PS: I use fixed DO solfège (French way), but if you don't that's okay!
All levels (from beginners to graduate students and professionals).
All ages.
Lessons last 45 minutes (at least).
When am I available? Please drop me a line and we will try and find a time for you.

Dear students:
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 classical music with an active performing life, 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 collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs.
I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs.
My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music.
**Class suggestions and indications**
No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music.
Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch.
There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth.
For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult.

All my best,
Denise

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages.
Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. If you struggle with music theory then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
