Saxophone and improvisation lessons in jazz style.

From 32.15 £ /h

I offer saxophone lessons to beginner saxophonists and to already experienced saxophonists.
I also give lessons in improvisation, theory, harmony, music theory and composition.
In short, everything you need to play and improvise in the style of jazz.
During improvisation classes in my music studio, I use accompaniment instead of a jazz rhythm section (piano, bass, and drums). This effectively prepares students for playing in a real band later on.

In addition to saxophone lessons, I can give piano lessons as a second instrument for saxophonists, which is essential in order to understand and hear harmony.
I give lessons at home in Paris in the 16th arrondissement between the Iéna (line 9) and Boissière (line 6) metro stations.
For students who are unable to attend classes in person, I can provide video lessons via WhatsApp.
My job as a teacher is declared. Students can obtain invoices.
I accept students with irregular schedules and availability.

Extra information

I mainly play in small jazz and Latin jazz groups.
I also play regularly in big bands.
I trained at the Conservatoire du 7ème Arrondissement in Paris, at the American School of Modern Music, at the ARPEJ jazz school and at the ISAAC Latin jazz school.
If you contact me, I can send you links on the internet where you can listen to me playing the standards and my own compositions.

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

Hello,

I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.

My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.

All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

Learning music, is directly connected to the cognition system of our mind, and our cognition is the first step to perceiving the music, so it is essential to understand music and perform it.
I am proposing classes in Piano, Composition, and Music Theory and writings.
In the class of Piano depending on the student's wishes, we work on different methods, from learning music just as an activity to students who wish to continue their profession as a musician.
The class of composition has the same algorithm as the piano class, the method selection is based on the student's wishes.
Music Theory is proposed in both classes of composition and piano on the side but for the students who wish to learn music theory separately with more concentration, I offer this class as a separate class too.
Class of Harmony and Writing actually has the same situation as music theory classes but students in the course of composition will be more specialized in harmony and counterpoint than piano students and of course, this course is proposed as a separate class too.

Katherine has been vocally trained in contemporary for 25 years and studied classical voice for three years. After developing Muscular Tension Dysphonia in 2010 and not singing for almost two years, she overcame this vocal disorder after working with some of the best voice and voice rehabilitation specialists in the UK. This experience further motivated her interest in teaching the following to her students in contemporary voice* using knowledge and training gained by renowned vocal coaches, ENTs and voice rehabilitation specialists:

- Vocal technique, health and hygiene
- Guidance in voice rehabilitation with students experiencing or recovering from vocal issues
- Managing Performance Anxiety
- Breath control

Graduated from the American School of Modern Music, I offer bass lessons for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels looking for ways to work. I adapt to everyone's desires and favorite styles, whether it's Hip-hop, Jazz, Blues, Pop, City Pop, Rock, Punk, Funk, Metal, World, etc. . My goal is above all to accompany you in your musical adventure. Also I can help you prepare for auditions (for a group or a music school), improve your phrasing, develop your game or simply teach you your favorite songs.

Classes can take place at my home, yours or via Skype. I offer lessons of 1h, 1h30 and 2 hours according to needs and desires.

Having several basses (4 strings, 5 strings, acoustic, fretless) I gladly lend an instrument to students who come to my home, which can be practical if the lesson takes place after work or study hours. For lessons at home, I bring an ABY pedal that allows two people to play on the same amp, making the lesson more practical and more fun!

Thank you for reading this announcement and have a nice day,

I am a young professional Brazilian cellist, with 9 years of study and profession, I have lived in Paris for a few months, and have several students from a wide range of ages and skill levels.
I graduated from the University of São Paulo, I specialize in baroque music in Paris and I work with several renowned ensembles of early European music. I also play modern music, with my solo cello and electronic music project, I had the chance to participate in the biggest Brazilian festivals, such as the Festival "Campos do Jordão" in 2018, 2019 and 2022.

I offer cello lessons for all levels and all styles (classical cello, baroque cello and modern cello), with the possibility of following the lessons at home, by webcam or at home, in English, French, Portuguese.

I apply different methods of technique depending on each student and his or her projects and objectives. From Suzuki to the standard methods to pure technique applied to the repertory directly, I utilise elements from the french, American and german schools of cello playing.

I also allow for group work, and the possibility of playing with friends or colleagues, so I often suggest creating small ensembles to share and learn good music with others.

For students preparing for entrance exams to the higher conservatory or a diploma in auditory education/musical training or even for students wishing to refine their auditory skills.

I was able to develop exercises and work on auditory analysis in my piano and music training classes, and I prepared several candidates (with good results!) for the music training and auditory education tests as part of access to a higher education center.

Always in joy and good humor, with the hand of rigor and study, I will be delighted to accompany you on this musical journey.

*30' and 45' formats only available in Visio.

Do you want to play Mozart, Debussy or Sofiane Pamart? Einaudi, Satie or Mendelsohn Bartholdy? Or improvise more freely?
It's the same! To become a musician, it's good to know some fundamental basics that will allow you to become independent and approach the music that interests you with awareness.

You have to work strategically, especially when you don't have hours a day to devote. The goal is for you to feel each week that you are better equipped than last week! And the body learns quickly if you feed it the right information.

My teaching adapts to each person's desires, but I like to instill what I consider to be important foundations for the musician's autonomy, technically (posture, flexibility of the arm and wrist) and theoretically (reading and rhythm).

I have a DEM in musical writing (writing in the style of so-called classical composers) from the CRR in Aubervilliers and I am currently studying towards a DEM in piano at the same conservatory.
I also study jazz on my own and regularly improvise in a more free manner.

Learning music can sometimes be laborious, which is why I like to insist on a clear work strategy by leaving the student with a clear and achievable mission each week.

Let's continue to love music and understand it better!

You listen to music every day... but do you really understand what sound is, how it works, what it's made of, and how it has evolved throughout history?

🎯 Objective: I don't want to waste your time, so in just one hour, you'll discover everything I spent months learning about sound! You'll develop your sonic knowledge, understand sound in all its facets, ask all your questions, and leave with solid knowledge that you can immediately apply to your musical or personal journey. In my opinion, this introduction to sound culture is essential for any musician, composer, producer, or enthusiast who wants to master sound perfectly!

My name is Salomon, and I've been a composer and producer for eight years. I studied at INA, worked at RMC and Abbey Road Studios, and produced music in many styles. I have a comprehensive skill set: computer music production, guitar, harmonica, and a very broad musical knowledge that I'd like to share.

What you will learn and discover in 1 hour:

* What sound actually is: vibrations, frequencies, amplitude, spectrum... explained simply
* How our ear perceives and analyzes sounds (masking, pitch, timbre...)
* The phenomena of sound through unexpected and fascinating facts
* The impact of space, materials, and environment on sound
* The concepts of sound perception and psychoacoustics
* The history of sound: from its earliest explorations to the evolution of sound techniques

Method:

* The course is presented using a clear and structured PowerPoint presentation.
* This is a time for discussion and questioning: your questions are at the heart of the course
* In the end, you leave with:
* the complete PDF support
* all my sound resources for DAW
* the possibility of contacting me at any time for your technical questions
