Hello everyone!
I have been playing the piano for a little over 15 years and just got my music certificate.
I offer my services to give piano lessons. It is also possible to dedicate part of the course to music theory or music theory.

I mainly play classical, but of course am able to teach all types of songs!

I already have experience in teaching music and music theory, since I introduced a 5 year old girl to the piano for a year and a half.

I look forward to meeting new students and being able to pass on to them the passion for music!

« Please keep your style: I really love it! » (Lang Lang, après que je lui eus joué Wilde Jagd de Liszt)

Diplômes (from the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot):
- Diploma Supérieur de Concertiste
- Certificate of Education
- Diploma Supérieur d'Enseignement

Prix (en 2024, non-exhaustive):
- 3rd Prix au Concours Pianissima international (Category: Prestissimo; President of the Jury: Cyprien Katsaris)
- 3rd Prix au Concours international Opus Artis
- 2e Prix au Concours Léopold Bellan, mension speciale for Rachmaninoff

J'ai donné des concerts in France, in Belgium and in Greece. J'ai également joué pour la télévision française (France 5).

J'ai eu l'occasion de jouer salle Cortot à Paris pour Lang Lang ; The interpretation of the Wild Hunt by Liszt: « Please keep your style: I really love it! »

This is the form of the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot with Michael Wladkowski and Guigla Katsarava. He studied harmony and contrast with composer Stéphane Delplace. Depuis September 2025, I achieved perfection at the Haute Ecole des Arts de Berne with the pianist Zlata Chochieva.

Depuis plusieurs années je donne des cours de piano à des enfants comme à des adultses, aux débutants (qui n'ont jamais joué de piano) comme aux aux avancés (qui veulent devenir professionnels).

Nous verrons comment travailler de façon efficace, comment apprendre par coeur, comment fonder les bases d'une bonne technique, and nous verrons the grammaire de la musique (theorie).

Je m'adapte à vos attentes et j'enseigne avec joie!

N'hésitez pas à m'écrire, je répondrai volontiers!

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 a piano teacher and accompanist, I give lessons to students of all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced.

Having grown up in a family of musicians, I started playing piano at the age of 5 in the Parisian conservatories of Aubervilliers, Paris and Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. I then continued my studies at the Lausanne University of Music, where I obtained my Bachelor's degree before enrolling in a Master's program in accompaniment.

My work as a musician is now very varied: I accompany singers, instrumentalists, and choirs, and participate in opera, orchestral, and chamber music projects. This experience allows me to explore a wide range of repertoires and work with musicians of very different backgrounds.

I have been teaching piano for several years, both in music schools and privately, and I have also helped students prepare for exams and competitions. What I enjoy most about teaching is sharing both the joy of playing and the curiosity to understand music.

Since each student has their own desires, pace, and goals, I adapt the course content to each individual. Depending on their needs, we can work on a piece, develop technique, improve sight-reading, or prepare for an exam, all while gradually building a solid foundation.

I aim to offer a comprehensive learning experience, combining piano practice with reading music, ear training, music theory, and an understanding of what is being played. I also place great importance on discovering composers, styles, and repertoires, in order to develop curiosity and musical sensitivity.

The repertoire can be very varied, depending on individual tastes: classical music, film scores, songs, or contemporary music. The goal is to find pieces that inspire practice while allowing for progress.

I pay particular attention to building solid foundations while preserving the pleasure of playing and discovering, with the aim of gradually making them autonomous in their musical practice.

I can also accompany conservatory or music school students in solfège and harmony, addressing both theoretical aspects and their practical application, up to the preparation of exams or competitions.
