Having recently obtained my masters degree in Music from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I have been teaching piano, music theory and electroacoustic music for 8 years.

As a former student of the Conservatoire de Musique of Geneva and a music technology undergrad, I offer a tailored program to your needs and wishes. Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

Both classical piano training with years of study at the Geneva Conservatory and electroacoustic training with a bachelor's degree in music technology, I provide a program adapted to the needs and desires of each student. With seven years of experience under my belt and having had students of all ages and backgrounds, I gladly teach classical pieces, jazz, pop, but also music theory or even composition or improvisation. At the same time, I also teach electroacoustic composition to children.

Hello, I'm Vartan, a cellist with a great orchestral experience.
Before moving to Geneva, I worked for over twenty years in the Radio Symphony Orchestra in Belgrade (SORTS). I have also performed at the Belgrade Opera, in many chamber ensembles and musicals. In parallel, I went to classes in jazz, world music and ethno (Balkan music) where I learned different rhythms and improvisation which helped me to develop my understanding of classical music and music in general. I will try to pass all this experience on you and beside improving your techniques, I will try to help you to understand music better!

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.

Everyone has a voice, what a great opportunity to tame it! I will be happy to accompany you on this path.
Music theory can often be scary and seem boring, yet it is a real game, it allows the discovery of a new language :)
Music can embellish life from an early age;)

Currently a master's student in singing performance after a master's degree in pedagogy and a double DE in singing and musical training, I have been made aware of issues of differentiated pedagogy.

As a music producer I've had recent releases on Crosstown Rebels UK and Codek Records UK/CH in 2025. If you search my name you will find my music which stylistically comes out of my years as a professional club DJ in New York City and Geneva more recently.

As an instructor I work with students from beginner to advanced on guitar, electric bass, Ableton live, mixing and song production.
I work to make lessons fun while teaching you the skills you need to play the music and songs you love.
Additionally, I teach techniques that allow you to learn songs independently, while discussing the theory and mechanics of music in the context of the songs we're working on.

With a deep knowledge of different musical styles that make people dance, I place particular emphasis on rhythm and using your ear, how you listen when you're playing music—how to recognize your emotional and physical experience when you're playing well. This can happen at any level.

🎶 Adjunct Professor of Electronic Music at Long Island University for four years, specializing in music software composition.
🎶 Guitar and bass teacher at Ecolint's Le Grand Boissière and GEMS Academy in Etoy.
🎶 DJ in New York and in Geneva, primarily for events organized by local Swiss art and music associations.

🎶Musical training in the professional music scene.
🎶Studied jazz improvisation and, at 20, became a member of a seven-piece band in NYC, whose album "The Sound of Konk" is considered an important document of that creative era.
🎶Music producer for the Children's Television Workshop (Sesame Street) and coach for the musical performances of the child actors.
Numerous independent dance music releases.
Please check with me directly for availability.

I am a trumpeter, composer and educator, graduated from the New England Conservatory in Boston, USA. My philosophy as a teacher is to improve students' technical skills while developing their creative side.

Over the years, I have created a private trumpet lesson program: I work closely with students, in person and online, on instrument technique, ear training and improvisation .

With me, you can work on classic percussion instruments (marimba, vibraphone, snare drum, multi-percussion) as well as drums. We will see how we can combine the two and create links between them. I will try to offer visual and auditory resources so that the person has fun and progresses at the same time. It will be a question of understanding technique and theory as a means serving an artistic and musical end.

Adapted to each person’s level, goals and time.

During this time we will be able to progress on different aspects of the battery

- Rhythms and accompaniment patterns in different genres (Rock, Jazz, Funk, Latin...)
- Independence
- Basics
- The sound
- Tempo and groove
- Musical reading and theory
- Improvisation

When it comes to classical percussion, many aspects are similar, although some differ.

- the work of melodic instruments (marimbam, vibraphone, xylohpone)
- Harmonic and tonal/modal knowledge of these instruments.
- Holds 2 and 4 sticks
- Knowledge of pieces from the percussion repertoire.
- Opportunity to work on adaptations of classic composers.
- Technical and musical work on orchestral instruments

Graduate of the Geneva University of Music, with over 20 years of experience teaching piano, teaches children and adults of all levels.

Hello,
Welcome to my world!
My name is Laurence. I have been playing the piano since I was 5 years old and I have been teaching it for over 20 years. I have experience teaching children from the age of 5 and adults of all levels.

A graduate of the conservatories of Aix-en-Provence (DEM) and Montpellier (DEM) in France, I completed my studies at the Geneva University of Music, where I earned a Master of Arts in piano pedagogy. Alongside my musical pursuits, I am an avid dancer and have participated in numerous international partner dance competitions. I organize many auditions for my students, as well as dance and piano performances.

I am dynamic, caring, but also demanding and a perfectionist. I will not only be your teacher or your child's teacher, but also a coach, to motivate you, challenge you, help you push your limits, manage your emotions, and overcome your fears. You will learn patience and perseverance. You will also develop body awareness in space through posture work.

Come and develop your unique artistic potential. Music is not just an art, it's a life lesson.

Capable of covering a wide range of styles (rock, jazz, metal, funk, country, etc.), the lessons focus on the student's personal tastes and the joy of playing and learning. No prior knowledge of music theory or solfège is required to play these instruments, and these will be introduced gradually. Improvisation (blues, rock, jazz, etc.) is also explored, and the year revolves around projects such as playing a "challenge" piece, composing songs, preparing a small concert with friends, and more!

Hello! My name is Cristóbal, a Spanish flautist passionate about music and teaching it.

I offer flute, piccolo and traverso lessons for all levels. I particularly enjoy guiding each student on their musical journey, adapting to their needs and goals.

I have had the opportunity to work with students of all ages (from 5 to 68) and all levels, from beginners to those preparing for conservatory entrance exams. I have taught in music schools as well as privately in Spain, France, and Switzerland.

This diversity of experience allows me to easily adapt to each student and to offer personalized support, according to their objectives, level and learning pace.

After completing my Bachelor's degree in Zaragoza, Spain, I continued my studies at the Strasbourg Conservatory in Raquel Magalhães' class, where I was awarded a distinction. I then obtained a Master's degree in Performance from the Geneva University of Music in Jacques Zoon's class.

Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in traverso with Johanna Bartz, as well as a Master's degree in piccolo at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp with Peter Verhoyen.

This dual specialization allows me to approach the flute family in its stylistic richness, from the modern repertoire to the baroque.
