About Me

At the age of seven, I discovered my passion for the cello. Since then, this path has led me to receive more than 30 awards in national and international competitions, as well as to perform as a soloist in iconic concertos by Lalo, Saint-Saëns, Schumann, Dvořák, and many others.

A graduate with honors from the Bulgarian National Academy of Music and holder of two Masters degrees from the Geneva University of Music (musical interpretation and instrumental pedagogy), I have also had the honor of collaborating with prestigious orchestras such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, the Sofia Philharmonic and the Bulgarian Radio Orchestra.

Today, I pass on this experience to my students in Switzerland, as a cello teacher at Collège Aiglon, at the Centre artistique du Lac in Cologny, and in my own cello class in Geneva.

Piano lessons for all levels

This course is intended for everyone and can take different forms:

The repertoire worked on during the lessons can be either at the choice of the student, or proposed by myself. The lessons can cover a wide choice of music ranging from classical music to current music through world music.

Hello!

I have performed with orchestra and has a soloist in various festivals across Canada, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland, in addition to being a prize winner in numerous competitions, as well as the recipient of numerous grants and awards.

Having over 15 years of experience as a teacher (including my own private studio and a teaching assistant at the University of Montreal), I am very dedicated to my students of each person.

My doctoral researches pertains to the neuropsychology of learning music (specifically, exploring the most efficient ways to learn a skill), thus I am thoroughly equipped to provide all sorts of tips and tricks from my research and personal experiences :)

This cornerstone of my teaching makes it easier to meet the needs of the highest caliber (utilizing interdisciplinary knowledge of psychology, physiology, biomechanics and physics), integrating all aspects of music making into a holistic, innovative and fun approach to learning!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Learning while having fun is tempting!
I offer you a gentle and playful approach to the trumpet, through the pleasure of playing with good sensations on the instrument.
To do this, I adapt to your desires and needs and guide you as best as possible towards your goals.

I work in the Geneva area and am studying for a Masters in Pedagogy at the Geneva University of Music.

Throughout my schooling, I was able to develop my knowledge and my pleasure of playing the trumpet. Meeting great trumpet players and teachers allowed me to understand multiple ways of approaching this instrument.

The acquisition of a degree in musicology, a DEM in trumpet and then a Bachelor in Trumpet as well as experience in different formations (reggae, French song, pop/rock, bigband, symphonic orchestra, baroque ensemble, chamber music, contemporary music, ...), plus experience as a trumpet teacher in music school, a Bafa/Juleica and a crazy love for music and in particular the trumpet, allows me to assure you that you will find something to satisfy you!

Mes cours de piano, solfège et composition s'adaptent entièrement au profil et aux objectifs de chaque élève. Qu'il s'agisse d'un premier contact avec la musique, d'une reprise après une longue pause, ou d'une préparation sérieuse à des examens ou à l'entrée dans un conservatoire, nous construisons ensemble un parcours sur mesure.

Ma double formation — compositeur et pédagogue selon la méthode Jaques-Dalcroze — me permet d'aborder l'enseignement de manière à la fois rigoureuse et vivante, en reliant le son, le geste et la perception du temps. J'accorde une attention particulière au rythme et à l'écoute, qui sont à la base de toute pratique musicale solide.

Je travaille avec :

Les enfants : développement des compétences musicales de base, éveil rythmique et auditif, initiation à la lecture de notes et à l'improvisation

Les adultes : cours adaptés à vos objectifs, à votre rythme, dans une atmosphère bienveillante et exigeante

Les candidats aux conservatoires : préparation aux examens d'entrée et ABRSM, travail ciblé sur les lacunes spécifiques en théorie, solfège ou instrument

Les cours ont lieu en français, en anglais ou en russe.

My goal is to discover the beauty of the cello, for anyone of any age, and at any level!
I am already looking forward to meeting you and I hope we can share together in music!
Renting a cello can be seen as a complex task, but finding a cello to rent is actually very simple!
I can also help with research.

I started playing the cello at 5 and a half years old. I obtained my certificate at the Conservatory of Music of Geneva in 2019 and my Bachelor of Arts at the Haute École de Musique in 2022. I obtained my Master of Pedagogy in June 2024.

Student at the Haute École de Musique de Genève and graduate of the Lyon Conservatory, I offer home lessons for all ages and all levels, in Geneva and its surroundings (TPG).
The training is adapted according to the student's objectives, and the repertoire according to their tastes. Notions of harmony are cultivated through play thanks to pieces with accompaniment. Finally, I am particularly attached to the ideas of pedagogy and transmission.

Patient, pedagogical, and attentive to the student's needs, my lessons are structured to help them progress quickly. My motivation for teaching stems from a desire to share my passion for music with everyone.

In my courses, practice and theory have an equal place: technical exercises, clarifications in solfège, chamber music and simple pieces then more complex depending on the student's level and desires.

Indeed, you are free to choose what you want to work on, suggest pieces as well as delve deeper into a particular point, a specific technique for the more experienced.

Having started playing this instrument at the age of six, my deep attraction to music developed gradually through dance, chamber music and the orchestra in particular.

Currently, I give private and group lessons (from musical awakening to more advanced levels) as well as concerts in different venues (churches, performance halls, hospitals, EMS).

I was educated at the CRR of Rueil-Malmaison where I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) a few years ago, then at the Geneva Higher School of Music (HEM).

For the past ten years, I have been gaining experience in cello and music theory pedagogy, which is constantly evolving and requires ongoing personal reflection on oneself and the student, as well as a certain degree of adaptability. My students are of all ages and levels.

I have teaching experiences in private lessons as well as masterclasses through different European festivals.

Violin lessons with fun and passion!

In my classes we will study music theory, learn the posture and various violin techniques, work on the sweet sound production and on the pieces/songs that you like!

Having an experience of teaching full time in Singapore for 4 years, I have came up with lots of methods in teaching and helping my students with progress in violin playing. Currently I went on to continue my studies in Switzerland and now am offering online classes to everyone who is interested in learning to play Violin

I offer cello lessons for beginners and advanced students. My aim is not only to teach technique, but also what I have learned on stage and at the conservatories where I studied. As I am also a Tai Chi teacher, I place great emphasis on playing with a relaxed body and without tension.

Lessons can be held in Portuguese, German, English, French, Italian or Spanish.

If you want to learn in a practical and direct way, let's talk about it!

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.
