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.

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.
I give lessons for beginner Viola, intermediate and help for advanced.

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.

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.

Je joue au Piano depuis 6 ans et j’aimerais vous enseigner une méthode facile pour apprendre le piano et s’amuser.

J’apprends au gens comment lire les accords afin qu’il puisse jouer n’importe quelle music moderne. (Beatles, pop). La plupart des music modernes sont composés de 4 accords répetés en boucle.

Il suffit d’apprendre les 8 accords et avec un peu d’entrainement vous pouvez joueur toutes les chansons actuelles.

J’apprends aussi le Jazz et l’improvisation sur piano ou guitar électrique.

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 however free to choose what you wish to work on, to propose pieces as well as to deepen a particular point, a specific technique for the most experienced.

Having started playing this instrument at the age of six, my deep attraction to music developed gradually through chamber music and the orchestra.

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, retirement homes).

I attended the CRR of Rueil-Malmaison where I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) a few years ago, then the Geneva University of Music (HEM) where I obtained my Bachelor's degree. Afterwards, I studied in Stockholm at the Royal Academy of Music (KMH).

For about ten years now, I have been acquiring
My experience in teaching cello and music theory is constantly evolving and requires ongoing self-reflection and a degree of adaptation. My students are of all ages and skill 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 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.

Feel free to ask questions 😊

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.
