My teaching approach is based on three pillars: - instrumental practice (80% of the time), - knowledge of Harmony (10% of the time),
The student will use these three axes thanks to the musical supports offered.
A space will be dedicated to you for storing these supports. My concert experience (50 per year) represents a major asset in supervising students.
This asset is complemented by my extra-musical experience, as I have managed an IT training center and provided training.
In this context, I have been trained in interpersonal communication (Transactional Analysis and NLP) My instrumental pedagogy is not based, as tradition dictates, on teaching in the same way as what I was taught.
When starting to learn a musical instrument, one rarely thinks of a career as a musician. Therefore, my primary goal is not to train career musicians, but rather to educate musically through the sustained learning of the instrument. It is fundamental to remember that learning a musical instrument aims first to develop a taste for music and to know how to communicate that music speaks to the life of feeling. The Harmonica is essentially an instrument dedicated to improvisation.
My program addresses the issues related to improvisation from the beginning of learning.
To achieve an understanding of what is at stake in the practice of improvisation in all its complexity, it is necessary to have a global approach (solfege and Harmony). Improvisation allows to approach the interpretation of the theme of a piece.
Playing over a playback is therefore essential.
