Private Cello Lessons

From 255 C$ /h

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.

Extra information

You will need to rent your instrument (I can advise you), and bring your own notebook. This can be used to write down advice, homework, or collect stickers for the little ones.

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!

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.

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 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.

Passionate about music and the cello, I offer lessons tailored to each student, regardless of age or skill level. Trained at the Geneva University of Music, where I earned a Master's degree in Performance and a Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in cello, I now pursue a professional career in orchestral playing, chamber music, and teaching. I am a substitute cellist with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (OSR) and a member of the Dialecticae Piano Trio.

Patient and attentive, I adapt my teaching methods to the needs, level, and goals of each student. My aim is to create a supportive and motivating environment where everyone can progress at their own pace and, above all, enjoy playing the cello.
During lessons, we progressively work on the technical fundamentals of the instrument, posture, bow hold, intonation, sound, and musicality. Particular attention is also paid to interpretation and the joy of playing. I strive to create a supportive and motivating environment in which each student can progress confidently and develop their own relationship with music.

Lessons are offered at home or online.
