Cello Lessons in English or French/ Chamber Music Coaching/Music Theory Lessons

From 214.31 C$ /h

I am a young experienced and enthusiastic cello teacher. In the past few years, I have been teaching in the UK at the Royal College of Music Junior Department in London, in primary schools, and privately. I am new to Geneva and I have just started my new teaching job at Ecolint, International School of Geneva. I teach children age 5-10, teenagers and adults.
My teaching approach is to give the passion for music while building technical abilities and confidence. Discipline is important, and so is fun !
In the past, I have created cello ensembles for young children and I hope to be able to develop the same teaching outfit in Geneva as I had in London.
I can teach in English or in French, the ABC system or the Do-Re-Mi system, and work towards various goals including ABRSM exams, concerts, etc. I am fluent in English as I was in London for over 10 years and French is my native language.

Feel free to ask any questions!

About Me

I am kind, enthusiastic and patient.
I adapt my teaching methods depending on my students needs and set some goals that they are happy to work towards. My goal as a teacher is to give my students the passion to play, the tools to be confident and I want them to learn in an environment of trust where they can communicate and express their wishes too.
I help the students set up a little routine as I believe organisation has an impact on the quality of the practice. I am always open to discuss with parents about their child's improvement and needs.

A young, dynamic and motivating teacher, I have been teaching cello and music theory for more than 8 years to adults as well as children and whatever the level.

The sessions are given in an atmosphere that is both relaxed and applied in order to encourage and stimulate the creativity of each student.
The repertoire visited is very broad, ranging from classical to modern music. The program is carried out according to the student's development as well as his musical desires and tastes.

Do not hesitate to contact me for a first meeting or for more information.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

The viola has been my instrument since I was little. Graduated in musical education from the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva, I now teach in primary schools with the aim of transmitting this passion.
Patient and loving to work with all ages, I adapt and find a solution to help the learning of the instrument and thus the memorization of lessons and pieces.

I can also learn the basics of music theory and help afterwards.
I give lessons for beginner Viola, intermediate and help for advanced.

Develop your physical and cognitive abilities, strengthen your memory, your concentration or even consolidate your self-confidence... The benefits of learning an instrument are numerous.

Cellist in Master's degree at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, in pedagogy course, and holder of a Diploma of Musical Studies in musical training, I invite you to share my experience and my enthusiasm during private lessons or in small groups.
My experiences as a teacher in music schools, in private lessons and within the Démos project coordinated by the Philharmonie de Paris, have allowed me to develop a pedagogy adapted to the needs and demands of students: installation of the bases of instrument, solidification of technique, discovery of the repertoire, stress management, keys to improvisation...The objective of the course is to develop one's freedom and autonomy on the instrument to have fun and share one's music!
Music theory, music history or music theory can accompany the lessons if necessary.

Whether you are just discovering the instrument or an already experienced cellist, we build the course together, according to your expectations. Also, whatever the age, whatever the route, with a little will, everyone can achieve it!

Hope to meet you,

Juliette
