About Me

The thought of studying and teaching has always been an interest of mine and working with kids will just complete it. Throughout the years, I have worked with various companies and foundations which focus on supporting further education for students who cannot afford it or even access it. I have also worked with foundations who specialize in working with children with special needs in order to help them feel comfortable and safe within their communities. With all the knowledge and experience I have learned from working with these foundations, I hope to apply them to my own work with children. I am patient and persistent and will never give up on a challenge that has been given to me. I love working with kids in general but students who demonstrate their passion, persistence, and dedication to what they set their minds to not only encourage myself but also push themselves to work harder in order improve within just a matter of lessons. I speak various languages such as Spanish and am fluent in English and French.

Education

For the past 13 years, I have attended the International School of Geneva in the campuses of Campus des Nations and La Grande Boissière and will be taking a year off to explore new options and experiences new opportunities.

Experience / Qualifications

I have been playing the guitar for over 13 years and spent 9 years in classical classes. I have also performed in various school events as well as outside of school events to showcase songs that I have learned within the year.

I have been attending an International School ever since I was 5 and went through the International Baccalaureate Program which I then graduated from in the summer of 2018.

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.
Also available for adult classes!

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! :)

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers, available all year round.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

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.

Hello,

I offer private guitar lessons for all levels, all ages and all styles of music.
From classical guitar to electric guitar, including folk guitar.
I also give bass lessons for beginners.

Program
- How long are the classes?
My lessons are private, lasting 30, 45, or 60 minutes. We will determine the duration together based on your age and level.

- At what age?
You can start playing guitar from the age of 6 and there is no upper age limit!

- What style of music?
I teach all styles of guitar, from classical to electric guitar, including folk guitar, from classical to metal, including song and jazz.

- Can we sing?
If you'd like to accompany yourself with singing to liven up your evenings by the fire, meals with family and friends, or to prepare a small concert, I can also help you with that. For any other artistic endeavor, I'm happy to discuss your ideas!

- We can also develop your sense of creativity and help you discover your improvisation talents.

- I'm scared, I've never studied music theory!
If you're afraid of theory, know that music theory shouldn't be a barrier to guitar playing, because:
1. You can learn it as you progress in playing guitar.
2. You can also use tablature, which is an easier way to read music.

- I want to understand everything about music!
If you love theory, we can go further by exploring sight-reading and even harmony.

- What should I bring with me to class?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, just bring your guitar and your good humor, I'll take care of the rest!

🎻 Want to discover the double bass? How about we do it together this year?
For young and old alike, let's get to know this great instrument!

As part of my Master's degree in pedagogy, I want to dedicate time to mentoring two people as they discover the double bass. Today, I want to use my experience to teach, while continuing to explore, play, and refine my teaching methods.

Currently I am a professional double bassist in a symphony orchestra since 2016, graduated with a Master's degree in performance from the HEM of Geneva in 2018, and have years of experience in the Alexander Technique.

Whether you're a child or an adult, a complete beginner or already a musician, the idea is to start with your desires and curiosity: discover this instrument, learn to play it, explore its sound, movement, and listening skills... and above all, enjoy making music. 🎶

I am deliberately limiting this offer to 2 people, so that I can really take the time to build the courses with each person and offer personalized support.

And what about the formula?
Lessons can be paid, but I am also open to an exchange in the style of a "time bank": a double bass lesson in exchange for a skill, a service, a helping hand...we can imagine it together!

If you know that little musician in you who might like this idea, spread the word 💛 See you soon and happy back-to-school season to everyone!
