    Learn to play the piano and music theory in just a few weeks thanks to my practical theory method.

    I'm Steve, and I've been a self-taught pianist for 15 years.

    I'm here to share my knowledge with those who are new to the piano. I offer both online and in-person lessons tailored to individual needs.

    My lessons are designed for teenagers and adults. While I'm more comfortable speaking French, I also have a basic command of English.

    Allow me to share a quote that reflects my character and sums up my personality:
    "If you have to reckon with a man, at least make sure he's an honest man."
    Very courteously
    Steve

    Private violin lessons, Music Theory, Technical and Musical Skills
    My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life. I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University. Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone. I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

    Piano pour tous âges et tous les niveaux - professeure diplômée
    Que vous souhaitiez élever votre jeu de Chopin à un niveau supérieur ou jouer votre morceau préféré au piano, je suis là pour vous aider à atteindre cet objectif. Forte d'une carrière professionnelle en tant que pianiste concertiste et professeur de piano, je suis titulaire de Diplôme supérieur d'enseignement avec mention très bien. En parallèle de ma carrière de pianiste solo professionnel, j'apprécie également la collaboration avec d'autres musiciens. Je suis titulaire de diplôme supérieur de musique de chambre et j’ai obtenu le DEM en accompagnement au piano au CRR d'Aubervilliers où j’ai acquis les compétences pour transpositions, harmonie, réduction d’orchestre et de choeur. Avec ma formation en musicologie (Licence en musicologie), je suis en mesure de donner des cours particuliers en formation musicale, en harmonie et en histoire de la musique. Mon expérience couvre une vaste gamme d'âges et de parcours, allant des élèves de l'école primaire aux professionnels en reconversion, tels que des médecins à la retraite. Alors, qu'attendez-vous ? Réservez dès maintenant votre premier cours, et entamez votre voyage vers l'excellence pianistique. Whether you want to take your Chopin to the next level or play your favorite song on the piano, I can help you achieve your goal. Embarking on a professional journey as both a concert pianist and piano instructor, I successfully obtained the "Diplôme supérieur d'enseignement" competition at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot with the distinction of "mention très bien." Concurrently with my solo pianist career, I derive pleasure from collaborating with fellow musicians. I obtained the "Diplôme Supérieur de musique de chambre" of école normale de musique de Paris and the DEM of piano accompagnement in CRR d’Aubervilliers where I acquired the skills of transposition, harmony, orchestra and choir reduction. Utilizing my academic background in musicology (Bachelor's degree in musicology), I am skilled at offering private instruction in music theory, harmony, and music history. My extensive experience includes a wide range of students, from elementary school children to retired medical professionals. What are you waiting for? Book your first class now and kick-start your journey to mastering the piano. ________ - Merci à Mes Étudiants - Je tiens à commencer par exprimer ma sincère gratitude à tous mes étudiants qui ont pris le temps de me laisser des avis réfléchis et positifs. Vos mots gentils et vos retours détaillés comptent énormément pour moi et m’encouragent à continuer de partager ma passion pour la musique. - À propos du Commentaire Négatif - Concernant le seul avis négatif : l’étudiant en question a manqué son premier cours en raison d’une grasse matinée. Malgré la politique de la plateforme stipulant qu’aucun remboursement n’est accordé en cas d’absence sans préavis, j’ai proposé de fournir un cours de remplacement gratuit dès ma première disponibilité après la période chargée des fêtes de fin d’année. Malheureusement, l’étudiant a refusé la date que j’avais proposée et a suggéré des jours qui ne faisaient pas partie de mon emploi du temps. J’ai dû suspendre la communication en raison d’autres engagements. À la date initialement proposée — qui n’avait pas été confirmée —, l’étudiant s’attendait à un cours et a par la suite laissé un avis négatif. Par souci de bienveillance, j’ai même remboursé une partie des frais (à l’exception des frais d’inscription non remboursables),. - Mon Engagement et Mes Attentes - Je suis engagée à offrir des cours de haute qualité à un tarif accessible, soutenus par mon expérience professionnelle et l’accès à un piano Yamaha YUS5 neuf. Mon objectif est de rendre la musique accessible à ceux qui l’aiment. En retour, je demande aux étudiants de respecter mon temps et mes efforts en respectant les horaires convenus et les pratiques de communication. Merci pour votre compréhension et votre soutien continu. Ensemble, nous pouvons créer un environnement d’apprentissage et de croissance positif et respectueux. _________ - Thank You to My Students - I want to start by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all my students who have taken the time to leave me thoughtful and positive reviews. Your kind words and detailed feedback truly mean a lot to me and motivate me to continue sharing my passion for music. - Addressing the Negative Comment - Regarding the one negative review: the student in question missed their first class due to oversleeping. Despite the platform's policy of no refunds for no-shows without notice, I offered to provide a free replacement class at my earliest availability following the busy holiday season. Unfortunately, the student declined my proposed date and instead suggested days outside my teaching schedule. After several exchanges, I had to pause communication due to other commitments. On the originally proposed date—which had not been confirmed—the student expected a class and subsequently left a negative review. To show goodwill, I even refunded part of the fees (excluding the non-refundable registration fee). - My Commitment and Expectations - I am dedicated to offering high-quality lessons at an approachable rate, supported by my professional background and access to a brand-new Yamaha YUS5 piano. My goal is to make music accessible to those who love it. In return, I ask that students respect my time and effort by adhering to agreed-upon schedules and communication practices. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Together, we can create a positive and respectful environment for learning and growth.

    Learn Piano, Composition and Production with an experienced multi-specialist (35 to 50 €/h after tax deduction)
    ♫ About the course ♫ Here's a sneak peek of what you can study with me: ♫ In-depth Musical Analysis ♫ Andragogy and Autonomy ♫ Arrangement ♫ Automation ♫ Getting Started... and Thriving ♫ Block Chords ♫ Cadences ♫ Chromatism and Target Notes ♫ Singing Voice Cloning (AI) ♫ Book Club ♫ Clusters and Aggregates ♫ Comping ♫ Composition ♫ Melodic Voice Leading ♫ Creativity ♫ Repertoire Discovery ♫ Documentation ♫ Drops ♫ Ear Training ♫ Scales, Modes and Ranges ♫ Spectral Editing ♫ Schedule ♫ Recording ♫ Musical Genres ♫ Digital Gymnastics ♫ Harmony ♫ Improvisation ♫ Sound Engineering ♫ Intervals ♫ Intonation ♫ Reading and Musical Notation ♫ Professional DAW (Software, Effects, Processes) ♫ Mastering ♫ Rhythmic Memory ♫ Methodology ♫ Music Professions ♫ Mixing ♫ Motifs ♫ Symphonic Orchestration ♫ Ornamentation ♫ Lyrics ♫ Phonetics ♫ Piano and Instrumental Practice ♫ Plans and Vocabularies ♫ Posture ♫ Vintage Processes ♫ Prosody ♫ Musical Production ♫ Research ♫ Remix ♫ Audio Restoration ♫ Sample Replay, Sampling and Musical Cut-up ♫ Backup ♫ Sequencing ♫ Music Theory ♫ Songwriting ♫ Sound Design ♫ Spatialization ♫ Creative Strategies ♫ Structures ♫ Studio ♫ Super-structures ♫ Symmetries ♫ Syntheses ♫ Talkbox, Vocoder ♫ Music Theory ♫ Toplining ♫ Transcription ♫ Transposition ♫ Technological Monitoring ♫ Vocal Producing ♫ Voicings ♫ etc. I have a passion for learning, researching and creating, transmitting comes naturally to me. The courses are aimed at adults. While for some it is a hobby, many of them aim for a specific concept and have professional ambitions. The most important thing is to understand what gives you pleasure, to assess whether a meeting is indicated, and then to organize your progress in the most enthusiastic and strategic way possible, because the present is aptly named: each moment offers itself to us as pure potential. There is no typical course, however, or else it consists of freeing oneself from conformism in favor of relevance. A student can thus discover fifty pages written to answer his question, or hundreds of exercises in an hour, the course can take place between two planes, last five hours or end at midnight. We read poetry, we learn to draw for the laser, to perfect the acoustics of a studio, to write for brass and a thousand other things. We laugh a lot and we are very serious. With some, this warm dialogue has been flourishing for years. ♫ Details ♫ When your request is validated, we make an appointment for a one-hour telephone conversation which is free. If we then decide to work together, I offer you a first paid two-hour course. ♫ Fees ♫ I am declared a "Personal Service" and offer you a 50% discount - by tax credit - without complicated administrative procedures: before January 31 of each year, I will give you an authenticated tax certificate that you simply need to send to the Public Treasury. ♫ Packages ♫ 1 hour: €100 (i.e. €50/hour after tax reduction of €50) 5 hours: €450 (i.e. €45/hour after tax reduction of €225) 10 hours: €800 (i.e. €40/hour after tax reduction of €400) 50 hours: €3,500 (i.e. €35/hour after tax reduction of €1,750) ♫ Severability ♫ Packages are divisible into a free combination of one, two, three or four hour courses, which allows for the anticipation of variability in timetables and subjects covered. For example, 10 times 1 hour = 5 times 2 hours = (3 times 1 hour) + 3 hours + 4 hours = etc. ♫ Rules ♫ All courses are paid by bank transfer or standard check (no administrative procedure precedes its issue, it is not an "employment service check") and delivered to the student's home because these are legal obligations which determine the tax reduction. ♫ Report ♫ A course cancelled by the student must be cancelled 72 hours in advance to be postponed - and cannot be postponed more than once - without the cost being due. Any course cancelled by me (a very rare occurrence) is naturally postponed. ♫ Pricing policy ♫ My fees are calculated as fairly as possible—taking into account contributions and taxes—in order to offer each student a high-quality education.

    Private piano lessons, music theory, technical and musical skills
    My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase. The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach. The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

    Hello! I offer piano lessons for all levels, and according to a method similar to that of the conservatory. Always oriented towards musical practice, together we will refine the strategy that suits you best. What I like most about individual lessons is to adapt the course to the needs of the student, like the teachers who marked my training. I believe that a student's progress depends a lot on his teacher. For this reason, I always give them the best of myself. Punctual and patient I think I have the facilities to transmit my know-how and above all I have the desire, the motivation and the pleasure to teach my passion.

    Sebastian
    Piano/Keyboard Lessons (Music Theory, Aural Training, Sight Reading, Composition and Performance)
    Music is a globally recognized form of expression that connects and unites us in various ways. As a musician, I have tried to inspire people from different walks of life to feel the joy and love of playing the piano and creating music. I have composed music for multiple bands, played for choirs, and accompanied many influential artists. I cleared the Grade 8 examination from Trinity College of Music, London in piano performance. My main goal as a music teacher is not just to provide training and lessons, but to inspire students to continue to learn and gain skills on their own and master the art of music composition. I offer classes both at the student's location and my own. My curriculum blends aural training, sight reading, performance, and composition (tailored to each student's proficiency level).

    Lena
    Singing lessons, vocal technique and music theory
    The watchword is pleasure! We will take the time to find our way/voice. From body preparation to singing, vocalizations and breathing exercises, you will progress quickly. We can also see points of music theory and harmony in a little more depth if desired. The course of an hour of lessons: - 15 mins of body and vocal warm-up - 15 mins of rhythmic music theory/melodic music theory/harmony (if desired) - 30 mins of singing on backing track or I can accompany you on piano or guitar. Of course this is only a typical example. Above all, I will listen to you and we will work according to your desires and needs. My area of expertise is more current music (Pop/rock/Soul/French variety) but all styles are welcome! I hope to see you soon ! :)
