About Me

Since the beginning of my career, I have been interested in making music accessible to everyone, regardless of their age.
This is why I devoted part of my work to the compilation and development of materials for initiation into music by the piano.
At higher education level, I worked as a harmony teacher due to my great interest in this fascinating subject.
Faithful to my conviction of an accessible and open musical education, I am currently studying Dalcroze Rhythmic at the EMH in Geneva.

Cellist, graduate of musical pedagogy and student at the HEM, I offer my services as a private teacher or repeater.

Whether you are beginner or advanced, child or big child, the goal is the same: to help you develop your pleasure to play, and to exchange, through a wide range of musical styles.

Beginners: "Instrument says the human voice, the cello has 1000 and 1000 colors.A regular investment in the work will allow you to access its sound world, open door to multiple musical languages, and vehicle of your sensitivity.
Come try! "

At the start, we will set the course framework and define a line of work: we talk about your tastes, goals, motivation, musical background and investment time in the week. "

Advanced: "I propose an accompaniment in the technical work and the discovery of the repertoire."

Are regularly used in class: fantasy, singing, improvisation and body rhythm exercises, duet play.

Classes are given in Geneva or in neighboring France, at your home or mine (Champel district).

I look forward to meeting you,

Oriane

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! :)

The viola has been my instrument since I was little. Graduated in musical education from the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva, I now teach in primary schools with the aim of transmitting this passion.
Patient and loving to work with all ages, I adapt and find a solution to help the learning of the instrument and thus the memorization of lessons and pieces.

I can also learn the basics of music theory and help afterwards.

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.

Hello, my Name is Nicholas.

I play the piano since I am 6 years old. My aim is to help people play music easily and have fun while they are playing
I teach people how to read chords so that they can basically play any modern music (Beatles, pop, etc). Most of the modern songs are composed of 4 chords repeated over and over.
If you learn the 8 chords (there are only 8 chords) you can basically learn to play all modern songs.

I can also teach you Jazz and how to improvise on electric guitar or piano.

Music has always been an integral part of my life.
I am a cellist in the 1st year of a Master's degree at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève.
I started the piano at the age of 7. I took private lessons for 7 years and a year at the Geneva Conservatory of Music.
From 2019 to 2021, I took piano lessons at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève for 2 years as a secondary instrument.
As a musician, I would like to be able to introduce the melodious beauty of the piano to people of all ages.
I obtained my Master's degree in Pedagogy at the Geneva University of Music in June 2024.

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 been teaching for many years in various schools, including the Centre Artistique du Lac, an art school, and the Notre-Dame du Lac institute in Geneva.
I also play regularly with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the Geneva Chamber Orchestra.

I really like teaching in private because it gives us the possibility of creating à la carte lessons and being as close as possible to the needs and pleasure of each student.
Lessons are for all ages, all levels, individual or in small groups.
Feel free to ask questions 😊
