From 167 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.

My piano, music theory, and composition lessons are fully tailored to each student's profile and goals. Whether it's a first encounter with music, a return after a long break, or serious preparation for exams or entrance to a conservatory, we will build a personalized learning path together.

My dual training—as a composer and a teacher of the Jaques-Dalcroze method—allows me to approach teaching in a way that is both rigorous and engaging, connecting sound, movement, and the perception of time. I pay particular attention to rhythm and listening, which are the foundation of any solid musical practice.

I work with:

Children: development of basic musical skills, rhythmic and auditory awareness, introduction to reading notes and improvisation

Adults: courses tailored to your goals and pace, in a supportive yet demanding atmosphere.

Conservatory applicants: preparation for entrance exams and ABRSM, targeted work on specific gaps in theory, music theory or instrument

The courses are held in French, English or Russian.

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,

Maheve

Back-to-school schedule open from August 17th — fixed weekly slots available

Regardless of their level, objective or age, I provide each of my students with a fully personalized approach.

Having started at the conservatory at the age of 7 and left 15 years later after training in instrumental performance, theory, singing, and harmony, I quickly began teaching. My journey took me from Toulouse to Brussels, then from Brussels to Paris, where I lived for 10 years. I accompanied singers and dancers, created shows, led workshops and choirs, and guided students from their first piece to their first competition.
Having always preferred to be on the sidelines rather than in front, teaching is a true path for me: I seek to transmit knowledge, find the right entry point, and see autonomy and confidence gradually emerge.

Recommendations from former students are available upon request.

My courses are aimed at children, teenagers and adults.
I believe in the importance of music theory, which represents the alphabet of every musician: ultimately, it's what will allow you to play anything you want, without a teacher, without memorizing, and... without YouTube ;)
I directly integrate musical training, rhythm and ear training into the course, so that you can immediately put what you learn into practice and understand its usefulness.
The repertoire is chosen together according to the ages, tastes and objectives of each person: classical, jazz, pop, variety, film music, piano-vocal accompaniment...

I travel to homes in Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.
I can also travel occasionally to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several courses are grouped together on the same half-day.

As an experienced music teacher and pianist, I offer personalized piano and music theory lessons for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.

My approach combines learning the piano with musicality, listening, rhythm, improvisation, and creativity. I draw particularly on the active teaching methods of Jaques-Dalcroze and Orff so that the student learns music in a lively and natural way.

The lessons are adapted to the level and objectives of each individual: discovering the piano, musical initiation, resuming after several years, accompanying learning already begun or simply the pleasure of playing.

From September 2026, I will be pursuing a Master's degree in music pedagogy – Jaques-Dalcroze Rhythmics specialization – in Geneva.

My goal is for each student to progress at their own pace while developing autonomy, confidence and musical enjoyment.
