My piano, music theory, and composition lessons are fully tailored to each student's profile and goals. Whether it's a first encounter with music, a return after a long break, or serious preparation for exams or entrance to a conservatory, we will build a personalized learning path together.

My dual training—as a composer and a teacher of the Jaques-Dalcroze method—allows me to approach teaching in a way that is both rigorous and engaging, connecting sound, movement, and the perception of time. I pay particular attention to rhythm and listening, which are the foundation of any solid musical practice.

I work with:

Children: development of basic musical skills, rhythmic and auditory awareness, introduction to reading notes and improvisation

Adults: courses tailored to your goals and pace, in a supportive yet demanding atmosphere.

Conservatory applicants: preparation for entrance exams and ABRSM, targeted work on specific gaps in theory, music theory or instrument

The courses are held in French, English or Russian.

Bachelor degree in piano at UFRJ(Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro) / 15 years of experience
playing piano

I have been successful in helping students who have suffered from technical problems, tendonitis, and excessive tension when playing.

With me, you will prevent these types of problems from happening to you. I will teach you accordingly to the repertoire you want to play, solving technical problems in the music.

It's going to be a pleasure helping you. See you soon in our class!

Geneva - Lausanne - Morges

Courses in English, French, Italian (native languages) - German (European level B2)

As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels.

Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG.

As a mechanical engineering student at EPFL, I can adapt the lessons in a fun yet rigorous way, to captivate young beginners. At the same time, my background allows me to expand and deepen the pianistic knowledge of advanced pianists.

I look forward to sharing my passion with you!

I would be delighted to give you lessons, in all styles, adapted to all levels. I would also be happy to meet you over coffee to talk more about it. As for me, after a bachelor's degree in piano and a master's degree in international soloist, I am doing my second master's degree in piano pedagogy at the Haute École de Musique in Geneva. I have been giving piano lessons for 4 years, doing replacements at the Geneva and Friborg conservatories, with great pleasure. I'm happy to send it to you ;)

Back-to-school schedule open from August 17th — fixed weekly slots available

Regardless of their level, objective or age, I provide each of my students with a fully personalized approach.

Having started at the conservatory at the age of 7 and left 15 years later after training in instrumental performance, theory, singing, and harmony, I quickly began teaching. My journey took me from Toulouse to Brussels, then from Brussels to Paris, where I lived for 10 years. I accompanied singers and dancers, created shows, led workshops and choirs, and guided students from their first piece to their first competition.
Having always preferred to be on the sidelines rather than in front, teaching is a true path for me: I seek to transmit knowledge, find the right entry point, and see autonomy and confidence gradually emerge.

Recommendations from former students are available upon request.

My courses are aimed at children, teenagers and adults.
I believe in the importance of music theory, which represents the alphabet of every musician: ultimately, it's what will allow you to play anything you want, without a teacher, without memorizing, and... without YouTube ;)
I directly integrate musical training, rhythm and ear training into the course, so that you can immediately put what you learn into practice and understand its usefulness.
The repertoire is chosen together according to the ages, tastes and objectives of each person: classical, jazz, pop, variety, film music, piano-vocal accompaniment...

I travel to homes in Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.
I can also travel occasionally to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several courses are grouped together on the same half-day.

Dear music lovers,

A pianist and composer with a degree from the Paris Conservatory (Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris), I have been teaching piano for over 10 years to students of all levels, from beginners to advanced musicians. I currently teach at the Conservatory.

I offer piano lessons as well as lessons in writing (harmony, counterpoint, fugue), composition and improvisation to anyone who wants to discover, learn or improve in these different practices!

In a few words, what I can offer you:

Music lessons at your own pace
Learning classical to contemporary music, current music
Improvisation alone or in pairs
Learning to read
solfège
Interpretation of works for 4 hands
Work on interpretation
Develop timbres to make the instrument sound in various ways
Learn to compose and develop musical ideas
Anatomical and postural explanations
Breathwork for acting and/or managing stage fright
Composition of pieces adapted to the student's level

Music is a precious art through which so many things, colors, and feelings can be expressed. It is thanks to music that I have learned to know myself more deeply, to find a discipline that has meaning. I have become certain that everyone can draw beautiful experiences from it.
My courses are built according to your needs and desires; for this, we will first clarify your objectives and the time you wish to devote to them in order to determine the level of requirement for our courses.

For kids :
Children are welcome from the age of 4. My approach is caring, playful, and ambitious. Over time, I have developed valuable experience with children from 4 to 18 years old. I have learned the art of engaging students in daily practice: the vast majority of my students can read the treble and bass clefs and sight-read music by the end of their first year. Beginners are therefore very welcome, and it is even possible to incorporate music theory into the piano lesson.

The classes take place in Chêne-Bougeries.

As an experienced music teacher and pianist, I offer personalized piano and music theory lessons for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.

My approach combines learning the piano with musicality, listening, rhythm, improvisation, and creativity. I draw particularly on the active teaching methods of Jaques-Dalcroze and Orff so that the student learns music in a lively and natural way.

The lessons are adapted to the level and objectives of each individual: discovering the piano, musical initiation, resuming after several years, accompanying learning already begun or simply the pleasure of playing.

From September 2026, I will be pursuing a Master's degree in music pedagogy – Jaques-Dalcroze Rhythmics specialization – in Geneva.

My goal is for each student to progress at their own pace while developing autonomy, confidence and musical enjoyment.

Starting out, resuming, progressing, preparing for a competition or exam, strengthening your practice or simply better understanding how to work: I offer support tailored to your project, in order to gradually make you autonomous in your practice.

I therefore tailor the learning experience to your individual needs, preferences, tastes, and learning style, with appropriate expectations. I teach all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students.
Conceiving of the courses as a space for exploration, listening and research, I am particularly keen that this dialogue remains lively and joyful, with kindness, curiosity and above all the pleasure of playing.
The repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary, while remaining open to individual suggestions. I pay close attention to my students' progress and am available between lessons when needed to support their work.

I help you build and/or consolidate a solid technical foundation. Furthermore, music theory and solfège are directly integrated into practice, in order to understand what you are playing and to learn how to work with a score.
I guide my students in understanding the style of the works and in the search for their own musical personalities.
My Master's thesis, dedicated to metacognition, extends this reflection on how we learn and on the means of learning, particularly to optimize memorization.
Many other aspects can naturally be added depending on each individual, each repertoire and each project.
