After 6 years of studying piano, jazz piano and pedagogy in the Netherlands, I am back in France. I was the top piano teacher in the French community of Amsterdam for 3 years with 30 students per week.
My goal as a teacher is for students to develop artistic autonomy through the development of technique, music theory, confidence, and ear training. My lessons are geared towards this, regardless of the repertoire. I am open to student suggestions and creative profiles, and I am able to guide students and introduce them to musical works, as well as improvisation and composition techniques, all in a fun and supportive atmosphere!

As a former professional musician, I offer private piano lessons. My specialty lies in teaching jazz, blues and improvised music. However, I also work with classical music and all other styles, depending on the objectives of my students.

My pedagogical approach is based on a natural method of learning music. We start with listening and playing, then gradually integrate the reading of notes, respecting everyone's rhythm. With this method, students are able to play from the first lesson. Part of the course is dedicated to group practice, with instruments such as piano, double bass and drums.

Classes take place in our private room located at Porte d'Orléans. In addition to individual lessons, we offer ensemble lessons for interested students, as well as the possibility of participating in our choir.

Do not hesitate to contact me to find out more. I can't wait to play music with you!

My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase.

The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach.

The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)
- Classical music (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.)
- Film music (La La Land, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
- French pop music (Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacque Goldman, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Location: At home (Antony and surrounding areas - Nanterre and surrounding areas)

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

See you soon at the piano!

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

I am a final-year classical music student at the conservatory and have been playing piano for 13 years. Being a lifelong learner allows me to better understand the challenges faced by beginners. I will be able to guide you through the process.

My primary goal is to spark a love for this instrument in my students. I listen to your desires and preferences, and we explore them together to find what you enjoy, progressing from piece to piece.

I particularly enjoy working on my ear, which allows me to detach myself from the sometimes aridity of the score and to open myself up to other musical styles.

In addition to this, I incorporate important technical exercises that help build confidence in touch (scales, Hanon, Czerny...).

Then I introduce music theory (according to each person's wishes) in order to become comfortable with sight-reading and independent with sheet music (JM Allerme)

I am addressing this course to adult beginners, in their first years of practice, up to young children just starting out on the piano.

You play the piano but something prevents you from being completely free?
Tensioned shoulders, strained forearms, painful wrists, rapid fatigue, passages that get stuck despite hours of work... Or simply that feeling of having to force yourself to play.
That's precisely where my work begins.
I offer you personalized work to understand what, in your way of playing, creates tension, fatigue or blockages and to gradually regain a more natural, freer and more efficient movement.
As a student of Monique Deschaussées, I was deeply influenced by her approach to the body at the piano: posture, breathing, use of weight, support, freedom of movement and search for natural movement.
This approach informs my own work as a concert pianist: I give more than 150 concerts a year, mainly recitals, in extremely varied repertoires. Physical freedom is therefore not a theoretical concept for me: it is at the heart of my daily performance practice.
Depending on your needs, we can work:
— tensions, friction and blockages in the game
— posture, support, weight and freedom of movement
— technically difficult passages
— sound and touch
— piano technique
— musical interpretation and construction
— working methods and autonomy
— memorization and stage preparation
We work from your playing style, your body, and your repertoire. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all method.
Classical, pop, rock, film music: my repertoire is particularly vast and I insist that the technique always remains at the service of the music you wish to hear.
You tell me about your background, the difficulty you are facing, and what you want to change. Together, we determine if my approach meets your needs and what form of work would be most appropriate.
If your issue is suitable, I can also offer you more in-depth, personalized support.
Because playing the piano shouldn't be a struggle against your own body.
