Are you or your child interested in learning the violin or piano? As a professionally trained violinist and specialist in neuro-education, I offer personalized music lessons that blend traditional methods with modern neuroscience principles to enhance learning and brain development.

🎻 Violin Lessons for All Ages and Levels: Whether you're a complete beginner, an advanced player looking to refine your skills, or someone returning to music after a break, I tailor lessons to fit your goals.

I give lessons in English and Russian, but in my school there are many great international teachers, including french-speaking.

Learning while having fun is tempting!
I offer you a gentle and playful approach to the trumpet, through the pleasure of playing with good sensations on the instrument.
To do this, I adapt to your desires and needs and guide you as best as possible towards your goals.

I work in the Geneva area and am studying for a Masters in Pedagogy at the Geneva University of Music.

Throughout my schooling, I was able to develop my knowledge and my pleasure of playing the trumpet. Meeting great trumpet players and teachers allowed me to understand multiple ways of approaching this instrument.

The acquisition of a degree in musicology, a DEM in trumpet and then a Bachelor in Trumpet as well as experience in different formations (reggae, French song, pop/rock, bigband, symphonic orchestra, baroque ensemble, chamber music, contemporary music, ...), plus experience as a trumpet teacher in music school, a Bafa/Juleica and a crazy love for music and in particular the trumpet, allows me to assure you that you will find something to satisfy you!

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.

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 teach cello and/or music theory in French or English, using the "DO RE MI" or "ABC" system. I adapt to each student to best meet their needs and motivations. I like to take the time to explain, listen to students, but also help them work so that they develop the autonomy necessary to learn an instrument. All this without forgetting to have fun with the instrument and feel proud of yourself!
For English courses, I also offer preparation for the international ABRSM exams.

I offer cello lessons for beginners and advanced students. My aim is not only to teach technique, but also what I have learned on stage and at the conservatories where I studied. As I am also a Tai Chi teacher, I place great emphasis on playing with a relaxed body and without tension.

Lessons can be held in Portuguese, German, English, French, Italian or Spanish.

If you want to learn in a practical and direct way, let's talk about it!

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.
