Piano lessons, all levels. Pianist graduated from the Sibelius Academy/Helsinki and HEMU/Lausanne, currently in his second year of a Master's program at HEM/Geneva.

From 168 C$ /h

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.

About Me

A pianist with a Master's degree in performance and music pedagogy (complete Teacher's Pedagogical Studies program) from the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, following a Bachelor's degree from HEMU Lausanne, I am currently pursuing a second Master's degree in piano accompaniment at HEM Geneva. My musical activity encompasses solo piano, chamber music, lieder and art songs, and accompaniment.

I have been teaching since I was 18 in music schools and private lessons in France, Switzerland, and Finland, and will soon be teaching for several months at the EML in Lausanne. My studies in Finland introduced me to a humane and caring pedagogy, based on dialogue, play, and exploration, where autonomy, freedom, and flexibility are central. This approach, particularly well-suited to children, informs my teaching methods today.

Specialized in teaching children from 3 years old, I offer piano lessons at home. Your children will learn the pleasure of music through the practice of the piano and notions of music theory, rhythm and composition. My method, developed over more than 15 years of teaching, easy to assimilate and naturally evolving, will allow them to make rapid progress.

And why not you ?

The lessons are based on the same method, taking into account your ambitions and your motivation, and will allow you to quickly learn to play your favorite pieces.

I hold a diploma in pedagogy from the Geneva University of Music, as well as extensive teaching experience in institutions, private schools, masterclasses abroad, competition preparation, etc.
I can therefore also make students work in preparation for competitions, entrance exams to High Schools of Music, according to the needs of each person, whether on the technical, musical or theoretical aspect.

Also a composer, I can make the composition work whatever the styles.
---------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------- --------------

Concert pianist and composer, I am specialized into teaching music and piano to kids from 3 years 1/2 to adults regardless of level.

I will teach your children or you how to play piano, but also notions about music theory, rhythm and, if interested, composing.
I use a very progressive and logical method which I am developing for more than 15 years with entirely satisfying results.

Over those 15 years of experience, I have been teaching in private schools, giving piano masterclasses abroad, or preparing students to enter the conservatory.

Regarding the kind of music I teach, I think it is quite important to present as much different musics as possible (classical, jazz, but also electronic music etc), so my aim is also to transmit my love for various styles to my students.

Feel free to contact me for any question.

I obtained an AFA, which corresponds to a mid-term certificate at the Popular Conservatory of Music, as well as music theory certificates from the same establishment.
I am delighted to share my knowledge by being as attentive as possible and adapting my teaching. Patience and consistency are my driving forces, allowing anyone to express themselves through music.

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.

Piano and music theory teacher, 20 years of practice, teaches children and adults in the canton of Vaud, Geneva and Friborg

Patient, caring, I listen to the students and adapt passages that are too difficult.

I base my lessons on the alliance between the learning of music theory and the practice of the instrument. I also like to offer activities such as singing for the youngest and to make them feel comfortable during lessons.

I speak Kazakh English, Russian and some French. I approach music in a playful way to stimulate the technical and musical development of the student. I work with a flexible methodology and am open to all types of repertoire. I seek to establish a real exchange with the student to understand his expectations and help him to progress quickly.

We will cover targeted concepts and techniques to achieve your goals and adapted to the way you learn best. Sheet music, oral, visual, annotations or adapted scores are all tools that I keep at my disposal according to needs. Music theory can help some people, in certain forms and in measured doses, while others, on the contrary, do not need it. It does not take me much time to learn to understand you and from the first session I will have targeted one or more approaches that will suit you. I still have one rule at heart, and that is to always maintain musicality and take pleasure even when playing simple things or exercises. Learning should never become a chore and should be a pleasure just as much as enjoying a good level of playing.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Music Teacher. With more than twenty five years of experience in music education, performance, and artistic development, I bring a deep passion for teaching and a holistic approach to music as both a discipline and a form of personal expression.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students of different ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds, supporting them in building strong technical skills while encouraging creativity, confidence, and emotional connection to music. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that music education should inspire curiosity and joy, alongside structure, discipline, and artistic integrity.

In addition to my teaching work, I am an active musician whose compositions and performances have reached an international audience through platforms such as SoundCloud. Listener feedback consistently highlights the emotional depth, originality, and atmospheric quality of my music, often describing it as expressive, cinematic, and deeply moving. This ongoing interaction with a global audience enriches my teaching, allowing me to share real-world artistic experience with my students and encourage them to develop their own authentic musical voice.

I have also contributed to collaborative artistic projects, including volunteer work composing and creating music for the Geneva theatre production Monolog 2020. This experience strengthened my ability to work in interdisciplinary environments and deepened my understanding of how music supports storytelling, stage performance, and emotional expression.

I consider creativity an essential part of both my professional and personal life. Outside of music, I enjoy painting, which further develops my sense of color, form, and expression—elements that strongly influence my musical interpretation and teaching. I am also passionate about skiing, a sport that reflects values I bring into my work: focus, discipline, perseverance, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions with confidence and calm.

Over the years, I have developed a flexible, student-centered teaching approach, adapting methods to individual learning styles and goals. My experience includes individual and group instruction, performance preparation, and long-term artistic mentoring. I value collaboration with colleagues, clear communication with students and parents, and continuous professional growth.

I would be honored to contribute my experience, creativity, and dedication to your institution. I am confident that my background as both a teacher and an active artist would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your educational environment.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my experience and teaching philosophy.

Yours sincerely,

Thalia

You want to get to know your voice, sing with your body, and understand how your voice works. Singing is an exciting playground. I invite you to explore, in a gentle and supportive space, to experience it and become familiar with your instrument.
I also provide you with the keys to understanding and reading sheet music so that you can read music or deepen your musical knowledge.
Finally, I'll give you some basic piano skills so I can accompany you if needed.

I propose the personal piano courses for children, adolescents and adults, at the beginning level at the advanced level.

Professeure de musique et pianiste avec plus de 15 years d'experience dans l'enseignement, j'adapte chaque cours au level, au rythme et aux objectifs de l'élève.

Mon approche associe technique pianistique, musicalité, lecture, écoute, rythme, improvisation et créativité. Je m'appuie également sur les pédagogies actives, notamment Jaques-Dalcroze et Orff, afin de rendre l'apprentissage plus vivant et naturel.

For children, the privilege of approche dynamique and play that allows them to discover the piano all in developing the music, the rhythm and the pleasure of the music.

Pour les adolescents et les adults, les cours peuvent être adaptés aux objectifs de chacun: débuter le piano, reprendre après plusieurs années, améliorer sa technique, travailler un répertoire particulier ou simply jouer pour le plaisir.

Chaque elève advancement à son rythme, dans un environnement bienveillant, motivant et sans pression.
