* English below *

My method is based on a complete approach not only to the cello but also to music. A technical approach to the instrument linked to this great sensitivity that music offers us, to make you, at any level, a complete musician. I focus not only on the technical aspect of the instrument, which allows us as cellists to give ourselves the tools necessary to express ourselves, but also elements of improvisation, which allow us to find freedom in the expression. Another core aspect of my teaching is playing music with my students. I regularly arrange pieces of all genres for two cellos, adapting the student's voice to their level.

I am of American and German origin having grown up in the Geneva region. I graduated with a Bachelor and a Master in performance from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne; followed by a year of advanced training at the Royal College of Music in London. I almost have 10 years of teaching experience, but I continue to evolve and adapt to everyone's demands.

**********

My teaching method is based on a balanced approach not only to cello playing, but also towards music in general. A technical approach to the instrument combined with musicality and sensitivity can make anyone, at any level, a well-rounded musician. Working together, we will develop technique, providing us cellists with the necessary tools to express ourselves. Equally as important are elements of improvisation, allowing us to find freedom and expression in our cello playing. Another core aspect of my teaching is playing together. I regularly arrange pieces of all genres for two cells by adapting the student's part to his or her level.

This includes a great knowledge of musical theory, a vast repertoire ranging from renaissance music to contemporary music , as well as a mastery of orchestral and chamber ensemble playing. I also have some experience in recording.
