Private music theory lessons by professional singer qualified in music theory and piano

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.

About Me
During my career as a lyrical artist I started to teach singing, piano (beginners) and music theory in private lessons.
I of course developed this activity after the end of my official career. (I remain active as a singer, however, outside of the big stages ...)
I had great encounters while carrying out this activity, some students having stayed with me for many years.
The teaching that I offer is not "fun", I ask for regularity, concentration, availability of a minimum of working time at home in addition to the course. All this does not prevent good humor and cheerfulness. I am both very demanding and infinitely patient. Are you wrong? ... that's what you are here for, this is how you learn, so don't apologize!

I offer singing lessons to students from beginner to initiated levels.
My classes are centered on the work of the voice, the formation of the instrument. The work of the repertoire will only be approached very gradually.
Even if you are not attracted by the lyrical repertoire, the discovery of your new vocal possibilities will open up unsuspected horizons for you, both to sing what you like and to gain confidence on a general level.
If you are attracted to lyrical singing, you will begin in the best conditions. "Chi va piano va sano."

You can read my profile on this site and also listen to me on YouTube (Fiorella tune, Offenbach's "les Brigands").

Why choose me as a teacher?
I am a real pro.
I have stage experience and teaching experience.
I follow you in music theory and accompany you, you do not need to go to other teachers to complete your teaching.
And finally I am very patient and not intimidating. I know that singing is a very intimate process!

** 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.

|Child beginner]

Blue Method

a method that prepares the child to understand the pitch of sounds, to read the notes, to learn the rhythm through card games and songs, by drawing, coloring, and of course the practice of the piano in a way alternate.

[Adult/Teen]

Christophe Astie method

Built to advance step by step and this from beginner level 0 in the understanding of the practice of the instrument and the music, it combines practice and musical theory, and this, in a very progressive way.

A piece or two mastered per week in just 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice are necessary at the start.

A rich and varied repertoire: Classical themes, film music, folk music, blues, boogie, ragtime. In the second half of the year, more pop songs are added.

[Advanced Pianist | Musicians]

After one to three years depending on your development and involvement or for already experienced musicians
Develop more advanced concepts if you already have a solid foundation by working on several modules of your choice:
- harmony
- writing
- the arrangement
- improvisation
- Rhythm
- The shade

The courses are aimed at all types of students wishing to reach a level equivalent to the 3rd cycle conservatory or moving towards free expression games and improvised music.

Theory: reading notes in central C position, SOL clef and FA clef / understanding the notions of tone and semitone / quickly identifying notes on the piano / distinguishing left hand and right hand on the score / repeat bar / simple rhythms (black, white, round)

Technique: knowing the numbers for fingering / playing legato on 5 notes, hands separated and hands together, starting on all the white keys / feeling the pulse while playing

Repertoire: pieces whose melody is separated between the 2 hands / many fingerings written so reading notes is optional / rhythms that are simple to read or easy to do by ear because you know the piece / one note at a time in each hand

Technique: scales on 2 octaves hands together (DO – G – D – A – E major, A – D – E, G, C minor) / chords of 3 notes and inversions in all these keys / arpeggios on 2 octaves in eighth hands separated and hands together, root position (DO – G major and A minor) / sequence of chords I-IV-V7-I in other known keys
