I am excited to offer my new classes I recently developed while teaching in NYC at a children's music school. My initial approach will first be to understand the desires within my student (aka the artist)

While I can teach beginner music theory, I do not believe this is necessary for one to write music. However, if the student would like to understand this, I can provide lessons on general theory. My primary intention is to identify the student's core strengths and use them to help them create the music that they wish to create.

I have collaborated with artists like Bakithi Kumalo (Paul Simon's bass player) Itaal Shur (Multi-Grammy award winner and Composer of "Smooth" by Santana) and Haydn Bendall (Kate Bush's chief engineer)

About Me
I believe that people create better and learn more effectively when they are learning what fascinates them personally. If you want to learn music, my primary intention will be to teach you what you love the most. A song you want to learn, or a song you want to create.
For those coming to me to learn English, I will make sure that we learn the language through real life experience and contact rather than text book. Relying on the brain for memorization can be overwhelming and can create short term results. What you will learn from me will be long lasting because I will help guide you to questions that you ask and that you answered for yourself.

English lessons with an American native from Ohio, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle.
82.17 £ /h
Learn to speak english through listening, reading and conversations. We will dive into grammar without it being overwhelming. We will not ask your mind to memorize things, you will learn through association and real life and it will become natural for you to speak and understand english.

I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio and have lived in Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and multiple countries outside of the USA. Both my mother and sister are Montessori school teachers and I myself started in a Montessori school and graduated from a from a Montessori high school. I went to one of the first Montessori high schools in Ohio. Just to clarify, Montessori is not anything to do with religion. It is just a method of teaching that focuses on learning through life experience rather than text book.

There is no point running !!!!

In fact, in jazz, and gypsy jazz in particular, the accent at the beginning of learning, is put on accompaniment.

What better way to get acquainted with the harmonies and this new rhythm, what is the Swing !!!

With a learning by word thanks to my many stays in gypsy camps, I propose an original method and oh how effective to play and play THE FIRST class, your standards or pieces of choice!

With or without the need for solfege, it is the student who will decide the path he wants to take, the teacher being there to show the way.

With the ability to quickly pass the solos, my method will allow you to always have fun and progress effectively.

Whether it's the pump, in all its forms, voicing chords for jazz, or a walking bass with punctuating chords, I'm sure you'll quickly find what interests you, and the way to get there.

I offer opportunities to improve for those who already have a good practice of these styles; advanced study of harmony, reharmonizations, rhythm equivalence, recording method, in / out playing, etc ...

I studied the bossa with a well-known guitarist in the middle, and the correspondence of the chords with jazz, and my rhythmic baggage allowed me to quickly transmit this music, too.

I started to learn on my own, then with the manouches, then FINALLY and only then, the schools to have the diplomas to have the right to teach (I had not necessarily waited to start to transmit ). I guarantee you a fun and effective method !!!

Lyric, Baroque and traditional singer gives singing lessons, vocal technique, interpretation, musical culture at home (Paris 8)

After studying in Poland (Master of performing arts - opera singing) I came to France to deepen my knowledge of Baroque repertoire, style and period ornamentation.
Early music becomes my specialization, however my second passion is contemporary music, however I master the classical and romantic repertoire.
My mind is open to all musical styles: I practiced realistic song, singing variety and - with great success - the traditional Slavic song.
Since my musical education is established by the theoretical foundations (Bachelor in musicology at the Sorbonne), I would be delighted to share my experiences in this discipline during singing lessons, or to teach them separately.
I also teach small piano lessons and music theory lessons for beginners.

Classes are conducted in French, but when I am Polish, I could give in Polish or English too.

A course can last from 1h up to 1,5h. It's up to you.

In exceptional cases I can come to your home, but mainly I give lessons at home (Paris Rome-Batignolles).

It's a joy for me to be able to introduce myself as a teacher. I think it's a very responsible and fascinating job that can lead to very nice encounters and exchanges between priceless people!

I give singing lessons and I teach:
- the vocal technique
- jazz improvisation
- the jazz, lyric, variety, pop etc repertoire ...

In my class, I rely on the vocal technique of the old Italian school. That is to say .... I do not push your voice to do anything else. I remove bad habits, I ban your involuntary effects that you do not control ...

The goal is to make you discover your natural tone, thanks to my vocal technique acquired with Thalia Carouza, director of the school of the natural voice and professional lyric singer.

For more information, do not hesitate to ask me your questions!

Hello everyone !

It is never too late to start the piano :)
I teach you how to read American notes, learn chords, rhythm (work with a metronome), pedal, all in order to play with sensitivity the song of your choice.

I start the first lessons with arpeggios, which promotes finger mobility and learning notes.
Subsequently, we can work with Yann Tiersen (such as "La dispute", "nursery rhyme from another summer" or even "Porz Goret").
From the first lesson you will leave knowing how to play a song!
The key is not to rush, work on the metronome and read the notes well.
Possibility to sing at the same time.

Thereafter, once the major / minor, flat chords are known and you start to familiarize yourself with the piano, I start each session with 20min of music theory (extremely important for reading classical notes).
Little by little, we will move towards more complex composers such as Chopin or Mozart (such as Fantasia in D minor by Mozart, Nocturne in C minor by Chopin).
