Piano lessons, all styles, jazz and improvisation.

From 64.31 £ /h

Who hasn't dreamed of sitting down at the piano and playing?

I started music almost 40 years ago. With a great experience of the scene, I can help you develop your ear, to learn the bases of the piano, the technical and theoretical notions which will allow you to better understand this language and to become independent.

I also teach reading American writing so that I can read a jazz standard or a pop song.
I can guide you through some exercises to improve your technique.

Whether you are amateur or experienced, if you wish, we will address the vast universe of improvisation.

About Me

I started learning music quite early (around the age of 5) but there is no ideal age to start, you just have to want to.

I started my apprenticeship with classical music, in conservatory, before moving towards rock, jazz, pop, film music ...

Today I enjoy composing as much as improvising or playing a piece by Brahms or Debussy.

Teaching is for me a way of transmitting what I have learned thanks to my teachers and my experience. Transmission is what keeps us going in life, isn't it?

I don't have a fixed method, it all depends on what you want to learn and your pace of work. There are a multitude of pieces and exercises, there is something for everyone.
The important thing is to understand what we are learning and to enjoy what we will do together.

Education

After the BAC I took musicology lessons at the Sorbonne.
I have a music theory graduation diploma. Music theory can be approached in a very playful way, it is quite useful sometimes and it is not a horrible subject;)

Experience / Qualifications

I have been giving private lessons for about fifteen years in parallel with my activities: tours, studio recording, composition of film music ...

I adapt my teaching methods to the students to allow them to learn and improve more intuitively the different music elements studied : ear, technique, theory, posture, touch, style, history, etc.

Connexions between music, fine arts, architecture, philosophy, literature, poetry will ba also approached.

I have been teaching piano for 15 years and have been practicing it for 30 years. My teachers and experiences made me discover multiple and rich approaches of music ( classical, contemporary, gospel, blues, jazz ), composition and pedagogy.

I am a multi-instrumentalist (saxophone, transverse flute, keyboard), composer and arranger (SACEM member since 2012), excellent improviser. This course will allow you quickly, whatever your instrument and your technical level, to understand and master the chord sequences and the articulation of musical language according to these sequences. In addition, you will learn the most frequent or rare harmonic structures used by composers. And, theory notwithstanding, you will learn to develop your ear to identify harmonic structures. This course also includes an introduction to the history of jazz.

We can work on improvisation, repertoire, musical training ... depending on what you are looking for.

I studied for it:

-A license in classical piano, with contemporary music option.
-A specialization as a concertist in the Alfred Cortot School of Music in Paris.
-A license in music and musicology from La Sorbonne.
-The master's degree in music and musicology at La Sorbonne.

I am very attentive to the desires and needs of each student, adapting to their level, beginner or not, as well as to their musical tastes.
I am very attached to offering a very varied and original working repertoire, combining works from the repertoire and current music, as well as various complementary working methods varying according to the technical and musical difficulties of each person (technical exercises, reading of scores, training of the musical ear, listening...).

I am available for any additional information!

My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase.

The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach.

The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)
- Classical music (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.)
- Film music (La La Land, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
- French pop music (Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacque Goldman, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Location: At home (Antony and surrounding areas - Nanterre and surrounding areas)

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

See you soon at the piano!

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

I am a current piano student at the École Normale de Musique de Paris (class D. Ciocarlie) and I have been playing piano since the age of 6. I am the young Lithuanian pianist of Polish origin, graduated from the Bachelor's degree in the same field at the Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre (class S. Okruško) with a teaching qualification (pedagogy studies with an internship).

I teach piano to children from the age of 5 as well as to adults, for beginner and intermediate levels. I make sure to offer personalized teaching to each of my students, adapting to their needs and helping them achieve their goals. Patient and attentive, I create a motivating environment that encourages progress.

I teach in five languages: Lithuanian, Russian, English, German and French.

I have three years of experience in teaching piano. I also worked at the music school "MariArs" and now I am a piano teacher in Paris. I always strive to acquire new knowledge by participating in various masterclasses such as the Piano Pic festival in Bagnères de Bigorre.

What I appreciate most as a teacher is that I have made an activity that I love my profession, there is mutual improvement and the process itself gives me joy.

Do not hesitate to contact me for more information!

My name is Loris, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a student at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in the jazz department. I've been playing saxophone since I was 14 and previously studied in Germany, where I'm from. Since I started playing, I've performed in various big bands and solo projects, such as the South German Youth Jazz Orchestra. For my own projects, I've toured throughout Germany, France, and the Netherlands. I also taught for a long time in Germany at a music school, where I had students ranging from 11 to 65 years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching all levels and musical styles! Having gained considerable experience, I know what's important for each student and how to best achieve their goals and, above all, make learning enjoyable! I specialize in jazz, but I'm open to anything!

See you soon, I hope.
Loris!
