My main responsibility as your piano teacher is not only to understand your music taste and goals so I can adapt my teaching approach to your needs. But also I want to make you understand what are the possibilities to do with this versatile instrument. To help you develop an intimacy with it and to make it become your inspiring friend.

Learning music is similar to learning a language. It has its own grammar, vocabulary and articulation. My lessons are generally based on following main topics which are all related to each other without being indivisible: Understanding - Imitating - Creating

UNDERSTANDING : Trough learning theory and listening to music, you understand how music works. You know the grammar and structures that help you see what’s happening on your instrument. That allows you to memorise patterns faster, easier and to take creative decisions yourself.

IMITATING : We all learn our first words by imitating our parents. By watching, listening and redoing, you develop your musicality and feeling by making music actively. Learning a language only by reading texts without understanding them doesn’t make sense, you have to start speaking it. Music is the same.

CREATING : Being creative doesn’t only mean composing or improvising. It means being able to adapt any piece of music to your skills by using your knowledge and experience. Taking initiatives to experiment with existing tunes and varying them as much as you wish.

LEARN TO FEEL FREE AND IMPROVISE

When we think about improvisation, we tend to bind it with Jazz music. And that´s legitimate because yes, Jazz´s history and main essence is build on improvisation. But the Truth is that improvisation is much older than the first jazzmen. Even Bach, Chophin and Mozart were great improvisators and they even improvised at their perfomances. Unfortunately, this freedom in classical music almost disapeared nowadays and that´s why very few know and teach about it. Improvisation is not meant to be link to any genres, it is part of making actively music, taking initiatives and creating bond beetween strangers.

It is an incredible feeling to be able to just sit with your instrument and start playing something from your mind. And that is absolutely NOT depending of someone´s talent. Music works exactly like a language. And no matter how early or late we start to speak with words and no matter our affinity with linguistics, as adults we all speak fluently without needing to be a poet or a writer.

Musical improvisation CAN be mastered on a certain level by everyone. With knowledge, practical exercices, patience and an accompanying teacher, your way to freedom will have no obstacles.

MUSIC PRODUCTION

Music creation is a very large subject where we need as music creators to understand how every single instrument work, how to choose the right sounds while being able to differentiate them depending of the genre, how to organise them into sections that fit together and how to create dynamical and exciting movements and energy. All of these sub-subjects are large themselves and almost have endless possibilities.

In our music production lessons, i will teach you step by step how to build a piece of music starting from scratch. From analysing your references songs in order to refine your vision to polishing the last stones of your architecture.
