CLAVE, CLAVECÍN OR CLAVICEMBAL COURSE FOR ALL AGES

Do you love baroque music? Probably there is not better way to approach it than learning the instrument - synonym of baroque music which ruled the world for three centuries. I am offering lessons for all levels. Would you like to start learning music with the harpsichord? That's perfect! Are you a pianist who will to discover the different expressive tools that the instrument has to offer? Or are you an experience harpsichordist who would like to develop further his basso continuo skills? I am an experienced professional harpsichordist with artistic activity participating in numerous of events festivals. I have a six years of experience in teaching individual lessons. Harpsichord music repertoire is extremely rich and there are plenty of wonderful pieces for all levels. So even if you are a beginner I promise you will not get bored! You will learn how to ornament and decorate the melody. Baroque music is a lot about ornamentation. Emphasis will be given of course on expression and musicality. A big part of the harpsichordists job is to play the basso continuo. This mean that you will learn to improvise instantly in given base lines.

This course is focused on the abilities, needs, the investment and above all the student's wishes so the results can fit to his / her personal aims. The level is so to speak secondary. The repertoire is so vast (and beautiful!) that everyone finds something pleasant to study and play. The offered methodologies consist of the instrument appreciation, technique, style, musicality and historical contextualisation (reading and use of period treaties) if the student wishes to approach that area. Une initiation à la basse-continue est également possible si l'élève en fait la demande. Le cours peut même porter intégralement sur cette discipline. An introduction to thoroughbass is also conceivable on request. The course can even be fully focused on that field.

Graduated with a master's degree from the Milan Conservatory, an artist certificate from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and winner of international competitions, I teach harpsichord, piano and music theory in Paris. I accompany beginners or experts to build a solid foundation or deepen their technique, expression and musical culture. I believe that teaching music theory should never be detached from the music played, and I pursue a teaching method linking the two.

Clases de piano y clave para principiantes, amateurs y estudiantes. En las clases trabajo equilibradamente la improvisación, la técnica y el repertorio. Siempre busco adaptarme a las necesidades y a los deseos del estudiante, y por la flexibilidad que ello conlleva no me centro en un solo método a menos que el estudiante así lo desee, sino que combino varios métodos para dar una clase personalizada.

Hello there! I am a fortepianist, harpsichordist, pianist, with over twelve years of teaching experience in Conservatories and Music schools. I have been studying at Paris Conservatoire, the Royal Conservatory of the Hague, Versailles Conservatoire, and at the university. I hold four bachelor's degrees, two academic BAs (musicology/music history, and French literature), and two BMus (pianoforte and harpsichord). I am offering fortepiano and basso continuo lessons via Skype, Teams or Zoom. I like to open my pedagogy to a more historical, cultural, and documented approach of interpretation. I love to share my passion for historical instruments and early music. Do not hesitate to contact me! I can teach in English or in French

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The courses will be based on the student's requirements. The method that I propose is aimed at acquiring an understanding of each musical aspect so that the student can achieve complete autonomy from the point of view of interpretation. Starting with technical aspects of the instrument (position, flexibility, relaxation) we will address all aspects of interpretation, in particular the fundamental notions of improvisation. TRAINING: License in harpsichord at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Prof. Francesco Corti and Master in harpsichord and basso continuo at the CNSMDP with professors Olivier Baumont and Blandine Rannou. In the same establishment I also attended teaching courses. I am a winner of several international competitions. Looking forward to meeting you to share all my experience of musical and educational training and to spend moments of happiness in music!

My lesson is designed for all ages and levels, from the bigginer to the professional. I would like to help my students to facilitate and motivate to find their own musical senses and cretivity, also fluid keyboard technique. I was very fortunate to study at The Juilliard School, Temple University as a keyboardist, since I studied under a lot of great faculty members and had lots of professional experiences. I would love to share how I developed myself as a professional musician with my students. I have taught private piano lessons to students of all ages and abilities since 2010, including teaching for the Salvation Army Art Institution in Philadelphia from 2015 - 2017. I participated in the Dorothy Taubman Seminar in 2016 and added this to my pedagogy to help pianists safely develop with the piano technique. Based on my experience, I will help my students to improve their keyboard skill, reading music and counting rhythms, musical interpretations, and good practice habits.

I offer piano and harpsichord lessons for all levels (from beginners to advanced) and all ages from 7 years old. Lessons are in english,italian or spanish with duration according to your age and level.I try to combine a necessary base of technique (so the way to stay on the piano, the position of the hands, but of course depends on the level of the students)with learning differents pieces of music following the music taste of the students. I professionaly play classical and barock music but of course I love and I used to play different kind of music so that's why I like to find and understand what the student is looking for with the music.

Online lessons are be offered on different video conference platforms, such a Zoom, Skype and Facebook Messenger. I have a Bachelor and Master degree from the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague and work, next to my activities as a teacher, as a freelance harpsichordist and conductor performing in Europe and elsewhere.

At the age of 9, I started studying piano at the ABRSM and harpsichord at the Conservatório de Música de Porto with Maria de Lourdes Alves and Isabel Calado. In 2014, I graduated from Harpsichord with distinction. I continue to perfect the harpsichord and basso continuo with Marie Van Rhijn at the regional conservatory of Cergy-Pontoise.

Over João R. Hello everyone! My name is João, piano and harpsichord player. I started playing the piano at the age of 7 years old and, since then, I completely fell in love with all the keyboard instruments and its possibilities of expressivity, the clear sense of making music, interacting with other musicians, for my own pleasure, and for the others. The harpsichord came in my life when I was 15 years old. I absolutely love Classical and Baroque Music and as well as Jazz and Pop. I started teaching piano at the age of 20 and I must confess that it became a great passion in my life! I love to see my students improving, getting acquainted with different music styles and motivated. I'm skilled in teaching kids and adults, beginners or experienced with the keyboard and/or music theory. Therefore, I use different methods, according to the student's needs and expectations. Each student is special so a lesson can differ, depending on the student's level. Normally, I start with warming up and technical exercises (posture is very important!), a brief music theory contextualisation of what is going to be approached in the lesson and, most importantly, have fun and provide a nice atmosphere during the lesson. I've graduated in piano and harpsichord at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in 2007. In 2012 I've graduated in harpsichord at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague, obtaining my Master degree at the same institution in 2014. Currently, I'm doing my Ph.D. studies in Performing Arts at Leiden University/Orpheus Instituut Gent. I teach theoretical music studies at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and, eventually, accompany and coach students from the Young Talent Music Department. In 2014 I've founded the Baroque Music Orchestra Le Concert d'Apollon, taking the lead of harpsichord player and music director. If you are willing to learn how to play the piano or continue your studies, it will be a pleasure for me to show you how learning a keyboard instrument has so much to add in your life. I can give lessons at my studio in The Hague or travel to your destination. I look forward to meeting you and guide you through the wonderful world of music!
