Classical Flute, Improvisation and Extended techniques

From 36.62 £ /h

Born in Central Asia and raised in Europe, I am an international flutist with classical, contemporary and electronic music training , and several master degrees from Conservatories in Belgium and the Netherlands. I travel through Europe and Russia to play classical and contemporary chamber music.
I see music as a way for people to connect with their own creativity and open themselves to their inner voice, their true self and their unique path.

I am looking forward to sharing with you the joy of learning and letting your inner artist sing, wherever you might be on your artistic path. If you need advice on contemporary pieces for your final jury, if you are looking for ways to refresh your repertoire or to give a new direction to your practice, I will be happy to help! I love to guide you through the classics of modern repertoire, to teach my tricks to creative interpretation or free improvisation.

Extra information

My values:

Curiosity : other genres and other countries music or instruments inspire me continuously and playing new things make me stronger and more confident in my normal practice

Authenticity : Listen to my intuition and body sensations was often the key when I was blocked, and I learned how to use Alexander Technique or mindfulness meditation to give new directions to my practice

Consciousness : I believe the artist is not detached from the environment or the society, whatever he or she does. I am committed to bring people together and to make new people meet and I feel this is the best tiny contribution I can make towards a better world

About Me

My classes are structured in several small steps: warm-up, technique, interpretation, theoretical explanations or bodily placement if necessary: neither the efficiency nor the pleasure to play are forgotten. A flute lesson is above all a moment where we let the beauty of music touch us and transport us!

My personal experience led me to think a lot about the body, its placement, the breath and their interconnection in the service of music.

Education

I obtained my didactic diploma at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels
I then perfected the mastery of my instrument at Fontys Hogeschool van de Kunsten
I also followed a practical training of Musician Intervenante in Workshop.

One-to-one music lessons inspired by the teachings of Suzuki, Havas, Hoppenot, and Galway.

The lessons are adjusted according to age, level, and interests. The most important is that the student will learn in an enjoyable way for them.

It is only possible to take 45 min. lessons when the student receives more than one lesson a week -which is highly recommended for anyone that might want to become a professional musician. Lessons longer than an hour are also possible for anyone over 14 years old.

Other possibilities, a combination of instrumental/theory lessons and prices can be discussed.

My course takes place on a case-by-case basis according to the desire of the student, his objectives, as well as his level.
I can also give classes on music theory such as musical training, analysis or an introduction to improvisation.
I approach all styles of music in class according to the tastes and choice of songs of the students. Moreover, according to the requests I can write a score that the pupil has already heard somewhere and wishes to interpret.

My background in brief:

Student at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory
Graduated from the Bordeaux Higher Music Center
Musicology license graduate
State diploma of trumpet teacher
I am currently in Master at the Koninklijke Conservatorium Brussels where I am perfecting myself in the practice of my main instrument, the trumpet.
Experience as a trumpet teacher and musical training in music schools in Gironde

Experience has taught me that it is very important to build a warm, trusting relationship with students, especially the very young ones. Bringing laughter, a sense of humour, games, and creating imaginative stories with music are my motives throughout the lesson.

The goals and character of each student guides the teaching approach I adopt - some students enjoy learning for the joy of music, whilst others prefer to aim for recognised qualifications or grades. In both cases I aim to make learning enjoyable.

I always encourage all my students, of whatever age or ability, to do some simple improvisation, and have developed several ways to facilitate this. I emphasise developing technique and music theory as they make the foundation of becoming a good musician throughout life.

Have you ever seen a saxophone and wondered how it feels to play it? It’s never too late to start! I will help you get started with the instrument. Do you already know how the instrument works? Great! Let’s take it to another level!

I have plenty of study method books with a big range of different styles, we will find the ones that you enjoy the most and suit you better and combine it in the right way, to help you improve. Plus work on any music that you personally want to learn, name any song and I will help you learn how to play it!

I myself had amazing and terrible music teachers during my learning process and believe me, I know what a difference makes... To really enjoy learning music or just to feel a ‘must study’, is the difference between ‘...I have to’ or ‘I want to!’.

I finished a Bachelor and a Master's degree in the Music Conservatory (The Hague) and then spent five years in the jazz scene in New York City, which gave me a very wide experience. Whether you are a beginner or preparing to enter a Music Conservatory, I can help you.

Classes description:

I have different study books we can use depending on the level, Wastall, Klose, Voxman, classic duets, jazz duets, Rubank, Horen, Lezen & Spelen, etc.... Plus I can write for you the songs you want to learn.If you have specific needs of topics to learn I will adapt the lesson and material to it. If what you want is to start or develop further in jazz music and/or improvisation, I’m definitely ready to help you!

Beginners:
Start finding the sound of the instrument, where the notes are within all those keys, begin with learning how to read music if you don’t read yet, and find easy and fun songs to play to enjoy the instrument already. I can introduce you to the understanding of basic harmony and theory concepts to help understand better inside music that you are playing.

Intermediate:
We can get to improve the technique of the instrument, reading skills, get more precision, speed, sound and timing and musical expression. Advance the understanding of harmony, its beauty and its possibilities. If you like to work on improvisation we can get to discover how to enjoy improvising with all the technical tools you already learned in the past and enhance that material according to your taste. If you want to start with playing jazz music I can introduce you to first steps and nice and technically comfortable songs to begin with.

Advanced:
At an advanced level it’s very important to understand the direction you want to take and what you especially want to improve. However I can help you perfectionate sound and timing, rhythm, vibrato, etc..., work on the accuracy of the reading and at the same time make it sound musical and human. On jazz music and/or improvisation, expand the vocabulary for improvising, the knowledge of harmony, what you can do with the material you know from different perspectives, increase precision and sense of direction when phrasing lines, learn more jazz standards, help on original compositions. And of course share all the better understanding of jazz music I learned during my years in New York City.

I propose violin lessons for all the ages and levels.
I love music and violin in particular and what I hope is to transmit my passion to other people. What I would like is to make people learn through enthusiasm and positivity, with the belief that it is always the right time to learn something new.

I have many years of experience as a teacher, thanks to the schools where I have been teaching during the last years and the teachers that I met as a student, who made me learn how to play and how to teach too.

I like to teach by adapting to people and their wishes, looking for the right approach for each one

-Acquisition of basic techniques to accelerate your progression.
-Presentation of a study plan that allows achieving quick results and carrying out a methodological approach to any difficult technique.
-Work on relaxation and mental concentration at play.
-Development of joy and spontaneity to create music.

I focus on giving saxophone lessons to people with a solid or basic foundation who wants to improve or start improvising. This course is especially for those who feel stagnant in improving their music skills. I will actively analyse your areas for improvement and provide personal guidance and methods. I am very aware that each person thinks differently while improvising: personal exercises are given, depending on your needs.

Applied music theory lessons are a support of this class. I integrate chord theory into practical saxophone lessons, making a key connection between ear and theory.

I started playing classical saxophone, and I am currently a Jazz saxophone student at the conservatory of Brussels. Switching to Jazz made me analyse my own behaviour in improvising, which I find a crucial step in development.

Feel free to reach out!

I am also happy to give lessons to complete beginners or children as well.

Guitar lessons are aimed at beginners and intermediate levels, and are designed to meet your musical desires, whether you want to explore jazz, blues, rock or world music. Together we will explore harmony, rhythm, improvisation, and much more. Discover how to approach guitar technique while associating it with pleasure, discovery and curiosity.

With a long musical career on stage and as a composer, I am passionate about transmitting this universal language that is music. Although music transcends borders, it has its own codes and traditions, varying according to style. It brings together, it shares, and is transmitted as much orally as in writing.
As an eclectic musician, I express myself in both modern and traditional music. I am enthusiastic about the idea of sharing and transmitting what fascinates me above all else.

I suggest you improve your saxophone and music practice by focusing on learning melody by ear and developing improvisation.

As for instrumental technique, I can teach you how to place your fingers properly to develop your virtuosity, to have a tonic air column and a good embouchure to develop your sound and to work on articulation to improve your phrasing. All this is acquired little by little by playing specific exercises and solos, pieces or saxophone studies.
Through learning the instrument I also suggest you develop your musical qualities which are essential to progress and have fun playing. By learning and memorizing melodies or solos by ear, you develop your ear, your sense of rhythm and your memory. Free improvisation allows you to develop your inner singing and your musical personality. Finally, working with a metronome or directly on recordings will help you improve your rhythmic ear.
All this is aimed at allowing the greatest possible freedom with one's instrument as well as the development of a personal aesthetic.

I started learning the saxophone at the conservatory 7 years ago. I started with jazz then curiosity pushed me to study classical saxophone for 3 years before specializing in tenor and jazz. I had many saxophone teachers (Eric Barret, Pascal Gaubert, Sylvain Rifflet, Sylvain Cathala...) and today I have a bachelor's degree at the Royal Conservatory with Fabrice Alleman and Manu Hermia.

I have played the saxophone in many different contexts, often in jazz in small groups or in a Big Band, in classical solo or in a quartet and also with pop groups on stage or in the studio.

I have always loved passing on what I have learned, so I have been teaching beginners/amateurs for 4 years, always with the aim of developing the pleasure of playing and regularity of practice.

When you are writing music, it is very important that you show your music to people. Someone with experience in composition, even better. It is sometimes difficult to take that step to show your pieces that you have worked hard on. But this is a very important step, it makes you more confident in your own piece. From then on, people can receive feedback and evolve further. In my lessons, I work mainly on structure and learning to compose. If necessary, I will also work on details, but first the idea and the form have to be right. Composing is an evolution and I myself am getting better every year.

To compose better, thorough music theory is also important. Just as you can express yourself better with more vocabulary, you can write better music and translate your idea into notes better with more music knowledge. The importance of this is often underestimated. For me, music theory (all the basic knowledge but especially harmony and counterpoint) go hand in hand.
