About Me

Hello !
Musician since childhood, I started playing drums at the Vanves Conservatory, accompanied by Xavier Vercken and Florian Bellecourt. I discovered the pleasure of group music and improvisation. I then decided to finish my training at the CRD in Noisiel, and I obtained my battery DEM there.
These years of learning allowed me to develop my musical personality by diversifying my "speech" through different musical styles (jazz, hip hop, rock, Latin music, traditional percussion), which I was able to put into practice through different projects, live and in the studio.

It was through this journey that I understood that the drums are an instrument like any other, that we are a musician, and that we too can express ourselves.
And it has become the center of my pedagogy: to give you the method and the tools which will allow you to reach your objectives, to play as you want, to develop your own musical personality.

Music is a language, and like any language, it puts a grammar, codes and a discourse at the service of communication; with me you will learn to communicate, exchange and thus be FREE with your instrument.

Education

Obtaining the end of studies certificate at the CrC de Vanves in 2011
Unanimous obtaining a DEM for Battery at CRD de Noisiel in 2015.
Obtaining a CFEM in Solfège at CRD de Noisiel in 2017.

Experience / Qualifications

Drums and Percussion lessons (graduate teacher)

35.73 £ /h

My teaching method is based on two points:

Orality and reading.
Indeed, music being a language, it is spoken and written.
It has a grammar, a conjugation, the aim of which is simply to be able to express oneself freely.

The many training courses I have followed, as well as my experience as a musician, allow me to offer teaching adapted to everyone and to all desires: Pop-Jazz or Classical music theory.

My journey :

I have been a music teacher for 14 years, and graduated in 2015 with a DEM in drums and music theory.

After giving a few private lessons here and there, it was in 2010 that I really started teaching, doing replacements in conservatories.
For 7 years, I have been working in a private school, L'École de Musique de Chatou, where I teach more than 40 students.

At the same time, I play for different projects, in electro, in jazz, but also for events.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience, both privately and in schools, catering to students of all ages, from children to adults. As a friendly and enthusiastic instructor, my goal is to ensure that every student finds joy in creating music and can work towards their personal goals—whether it's for the sheer enjoyment of music-making or to prepare for music exams.

I'm also proficient in teaching music theory, which not only enhances musicianship but is also essential for students aspiring to reach higher levels in their musical journey.

I hold a Bachelor of Music and a Master's degree from two prestigious London music institutions: the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music. Since then, I've been actively performing as a soloist and collaborating with various orchestras and ensembles worldwide.

Graduated from a Paris Conservatory viola and violin I wish to give instrumental lessons to people who want to learn while having fun. I practiced 8 years the horn, I graduated in solfege and I study the lyric singing at the conservatory. Thus, I can help you in several disciplines to develop your ear and progress faster

I offer instrument lessons (instruments combined if beginner, violin-viola or violin if intermediate-advanced level) or music theory / education. I can also just teach you how to practice the instrument effectively outside of class, which is usually difficult but sometimes it helps a lot to have some keys to get by.
I took courses at the conservatory with regional influence in Strasbourg from my 6 to my 18 years old, including 12 years of instrument and 10 years of orchestra, chamber music and 8 years of music theory during which I spent my musical education diploma as well as my instrument diploma at the end of the 3rd cycle in the instrument. I have also followed many masterclasses and internships as well as been under the direction of many chefs in the context of paid projects. I also had the opportunity to give some instrument lessons as part of replacements in music school. I also specialized in baroque music and choral singing.
My teaching instrument is the violin-viola but insofar as the instrumental technique is quite similar to that of the violin for the beginning of the training, I also propose to help beginner violinists. I can also help in music theory or even in choral singing.

Practicing music theory and guitar in conservatory since the age of 5 and wishing to pursue a career as a musician after my secondary studies, I joined the MAI
(Music Academy International), where I graduated as a professional musician / composer and vocal coach.
This teaching allowed me, in a place of exchanges and meetings, to
develop my musical skills and acquire training on artistic issues and career management to develop my potential to reconcile passion for music and professionalism.

Hello, my name is Benoit, I am a jazz & contemporary music guitarist and guitar teacher for more than 15 years in music schools, associations and at home.

I studied Jazz at the Boulogne-Billancourt Conservatory and graduated from the American School Of Modern Music.

I seek with my lessons to develop your desire to make music and your creativity. My courses and content will allow you to immerse yourself in an exciting practice. Pleasure and requirement are the keywords of my learning method. You will quickly be able to play a current, rich and varied repertoire. In addition to private lessons, I provide you with free videos, scores & tablatures.

Who are the classes for?

Children:
From 7 years old, learning notes in a playful and progressive way. We explore music theory, tablatures, rhythm and melody thanks to card games specially developed for the youngest: recognition, 7 families, pair games, Memory, etc. Your child discovers the instrument and the technique while being able to quickly play familiar tunes! Classes usually last 30 minutes.

Teen:
The goal is not to spend too much time on the theoretical aspect of music theory (reading notes etc.) but to see the basic techniques of the instrument in order to be able to play and have fun quickly.

From the first lessons you will play the pieces of your choice, I will guide you and accompany you. Pleasure and satisfaction guaranteed!

Adults:
Have you always dreamed of learning to play the guitar? You played when you were young and want to get back to it? Did the "conservatory" method disappoint you or does it not suit you? My approach and my experience will allow you to learn or deepen the instrument and your knowledge at your own pace thanks to a multitude of pieces, scores, playbacks and tutorials. This will help you to develop or perfect the essential techniques for playing the guitar and also to play a repertoire to your liking. Classes usually last 60 minutes.

If you are self-employed or have flexible working hours during the day, I can come to your place of work. I can also give video lessons to coach you or if you are on the go.

For what levels?

Beginner:
You quickly take the instrument in hand, I guide you to acquire in a few sessions the technical gestures and the basic notions in order to be autonomous with your guitar.

Intermediate:
You develop a repertoire in line with your tastes and desires. I advise you and challenge you to make you progress.

Advanced:
You improve your technique thanks to the study of statements of reference guitarists and different Jazz / Rock / Blues / Gypsy styles such as: John Scofield, Wes Montgomery, Peter Bernstein, George Benson, Django Reinhardt etc...
Together we work on the writing and the balance of musical phrases, chord sequences, notions of tension and resolution, which will allow you to create your own music and refine your style. I advise you on the right software and musical software (writing/Sibelius, tabalture/Guitarpro, Recording/Ableton, creation/Reason etc...)

How are the lessons going?

Face to face, at your home, mine, or video, I adapt to your possibilities and your wishes.

Those who wish to meet other musicians can join a group. I also organize courses (between 8 and 10 people) during school holidays, on various subjects: Deepening your repertoire, improvising with pentatonics, group games, picking techniques, etc.
Do not hesitate to contact me if you want more information!

Musically & see you soon!

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.

. 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.
