Perfect! Yessaï est un prof exceptionnel !
Non seulement c'est un très grand pianiste, mais en plus il sait être accessible et s adapter aux motivations de l élève.
A l image de ce qu'est le jazz à la musique, Yessaï n'est pas dans le fameux formalisme des cours qu'on a tous connu...oubliez le "fais tes gammes et tes exos et on verra le plaisir après" ! Avec Yessaï vous ressortez du cours super dynamisé, plein de bonnes vibes musicales et heureux d avoir pratiqué la musique comme VOUS l aimez.
Un gros merci à ce grand musicien plein d humanité !- Nous avons parcouru un chemin impressionnant avec Romain. Probablement mon élève le plus surprenant. Il me permet de progresser dans ma pédagogie, de trouver de nouveaux chemins, et finalement c'est une relation qui va dans les deux sens. Rythme de travail instable, compensé par une curiosité et une honnêteté à toute épreuve. On avance lentement mais sûrement ! Un vrai bonheur de voyager dans le jazz, la trap et la drill sous le prisme de l'improvisation avec toi. Merci pour ton ouverture d'esprit, et ta confiance.Yessaï's response :
