** English version below **

A graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, I offer Drums lessons (all ages) to beginners, intermediates and advanced.
Sharing music and dialogue with the student are essential for me: I adapt to the needs/desires of each student by offering a musical and instrumental program (in addition to regular work based on technique). Students will be able to play along to playbacks (soundtracks), solo, or simply following a score. The courses will of course be focused on different points, according to your requests. I will use musical language, and teach you how to read a Drum score using simple and effective methods.
I offer a cultural approach to different styles to my students (funk, groove, hip-hop, rock, reggae, jazz, etc.).
I also give lessons in music theory, timpani, djembe, percussion, piano according to your request.

My methodology is fully adapted to the student's needs. The methods vary depending on whether they want to learn to compose or play classical piano, or whether they want to play jazz, pop music, etc.
The important thing to understand is that in order to get the most out of the classes, you also need to practice on your own at home. This way, you can spend time together improving aspects of language, performance, technique, etc.

I am a musicology student and have been practicing music from a young age. I joined the Montauban conservatory in 2019 and graduated from BMD solfège. I have been practicing electric bass for 10 years and double bass for 2 years. I can give music lessons for beginners.

I introduce myself:
Classical singer, professional soloist, good level pianist,
graduated from conservatories
- from Toulouse: 1st prize for singing / 2nd prize for music theory and sight reading
- from Paris (CNSM) Certificates of musical and vocal culture and piano - singers

On the sidelines, then after a career as a lyrical artist in Paris (Opéra Comique/Théâtre Mogador/Espace Cardin, in the RTLN theaters (including Capitole de Toulouse) and abroad (Switzerland/Belgium/Mauritius) I I have been focused on teaching (singing, beginner piano, music theory) for around 25 years.
Experience with children / adults, amateurs / professionals, singers / instrumentalists
I teach traditional music theory which differs from FM (Musical Training), I briefly explain here the differences, the interest and the advantages.
It is based on tonal music, the progressive study of tones and not intervals outside tonal context.
It recommends the separate acquisition of its various components: rhythm, reading notes, intonation
it results in these well-integrated bases, sung sight reading and written dictation

Why work on music theory as a subject in its own right?
Because, in a course "piano / violin / vocals / clarinet ... + music theory", and as I myself have experienced, the pupil and the teacher, accomplices, always favor the instrument and the learning music theory is done in homeopathic doses. The study of the instrument is nevertheless also slowed down because of the multiple interruptions caused by ignorance of music theory.
I am not suggesting that you "get rid" of music theory because its study, contrary to its reputation, is very interesting. But to diversify the difficulties that you encounter: those relating to the instrumental technique and those due to music theory.

I accompany you on the piano and introduce you to the keyboard. A mini-keyboard allows you to work on your intonation at home also following my instructions.
If the level allows it, I also do instrumental and vocal music theory: music theory applied to the study of your pieces, analyzed, deciphered and accompanied on the piano.
Levels: for more precision, up to level "medium 2"
I recommend a weekly frequency (except possibly school holidays), essential for the effectiveness of the course, as well as a minimum personal work at home.

Being a graduate of the Conservatory, I acquired a very rigorous apprenticeship in music. Today, private lessons allow me to share my knowledge and pass it on. Music is learning, but it's also a pleasure.
For an optimal learning, I adapt as much as possible to the capacities of the pupil in order to be able to make him progress as well as possible, and that he thus learns the music and allow him to like to play and to make music.
Private lessons in piano and music theory require step-by-step learning, with regular work, which I take the time to do during the course, and which in this sense will have to be continued on the other days of the week, for a real evolution, for a beginner as for someone who has a good basis.

Hi !
I have been a saxophonist for 11 years now and currently studying at the University of Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès in Jazz License, I offer courses adapted to your level and your rhythm but above all based on what you want to learn and play.

I offer these lessons to neophytes wishing to learn this instrument or to beginners in their first years (1-6 years of practice), whatever the age.

- Technical exercises
- Sound and broadcast work
- Work of the desired directory
- Improvisation exercises
- Ear work
- Working in pairs

I will cover all of this in my classes!
Looking forward to sharing my passion with you 😁

In this lesson, music knowledge is not a pre-requisite. Here, you will discover music theory and solfege, alongside general music - the understanding of the history and significance of music to humanity.

Students have the option of standard British/ American theory (classic/jazz) or French theory/Ecriture system. From note reading to harmonization, graded syllabus (E.g ABRSM) or just to explore, lessons will be specially catered to your needs. Being able to analyze what you see will definitely greatly improve your own instrument's progress!

Solfege, or solfeggio training is a specialized aural training. It can be taught in either fixed or movable do to train for strong relative pitch and rhythm stability, allowing students to 'hear' the music just by looking at the notes. This is especially useful for mastering sight-reading, transcribing and playing by ear! Adding on, the ability to analyze by ear will open your world to the music you may have not noticed before.

Passionate and educational, I listen to the needs, sensitivity and desires of my students.
Despite everything, I do not forget the rigor that the Art of the Piano demands.
Preparation for competitions, exams.
Masterclasses, Concerts, Auditions are organized throughout the year for my students and are free.

Study of works adapted to your level.
I attach great importance to sound quality, to a sensitive and comfortable interpretation.
However, the performer must always serve the music he plays and not the other way around...
The works studied come from different creative periods: Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern and Contemporary in order to broaden your piano repertoire and thus discover new horizons.
Learn to manage your stress, listen to yourself, get into the piano.
Deep work on memory and concentration.
Proper use of pedals.
The emotions, the narration, the architecture of a beautiful interpretation.
Let's not forget: music is ineffable.

You will learn the basics of rhythm, rudiments, limb independence, play different styles, and use advanced techniques to enrich your playing and fully express your creativity.
