Hello!

I'm an award-winning Canadian classical pianist and experienced teacher offering piano lessons for all levels, beginner to advanced. I have performed with orchestra and has a soloist in various festivals across Canada, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland, in addition to being a prize winner in numerous competitions, as well as the recipient of numerous grants and awards.

Having over 15 years of experience as a teacher (including my own private studio and a teaching assistant at the University of Montreal), I am very dedicated to my students of each person.

My doctoral researches pertains to the neuropsychology of learning music (specifically, exploring the most efficient ways to learn a skill), thus I am thoroughly equipped to provide all sorts of tips and tricks from my research and personal experiences :)

This cornerstone of my teaching makes it easier to meet the needs of the highest caliber (utilizing interdisciplinary knowledge of psychology, physiology, biomechanics and physics), integrating all aspects of music making into a holistic, innovative and fun approach to learning!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The clarinet is a fascinating instrument. Its woody timbre, its tessitura close to the voice offers a wide range of musical directions. Whether you want to play classical, jazz, song or world music, we will progress together to connect the song and the instrument. To develop the breath, to consolidate its supports, to feel the rhythm and to shine the melodies, that is the objective!

I adapt my method according to each student but here are the central points of my educational work:

- Warm up: stretching and breathing

- Sound work: beak, held notes, harmonics *

- Technique: ranges, transpositions *

- Repertoire: Piece being learned, reading *, improvisation.

* confirmed students

SINGING

I attach particular importance to the link between song and instrument. Singing the songs and even the scales improves the musicality, the phrasing, the accuracy to the instrument.

MEMORY

As much as possible, I ask to memorize the pieces. Knowing how to sing a song before playing it is for me the best way to integrate it.

Practicing the piano since the age of 4, I obtained in 2020 my DEM (Diploma of musical studies) from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Strasbourg (Alsace) (equivalent to the Swiss Certificate). I am now a bachelor's student in opera singing and piano at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne since September 2020. In parallel with my studies, I have always enjoyed sharing what I myself have the chance to continue to learn, so much so that I have been giving private piano lessons for 3 years.

I believe that for the student to get the most out of his course, a great adaptability of the teacher is necessary. I therefore build my lessons according to the wishes of the student, both in the choice of the pieces he/she would like to play and in the space where the lessons take place, so that his practice of music does him good. ! It is therefore essential for me that the framework where the student practices his instrument invites him to feel confident, happy and relaxed and that the music is above all a source of pleasure, and not a constraint.

My lessons include a "music theory" part, depending on your starting level, beginner or not.

I come to your home if you wish, but can also receive you at my home in Pully.

VIOLIN: My lessons cover several aspects necessary for good violin playing and free musical expression: healthy body posture, stable technique, attentive listening, musicality, personal development. It is from these notions that the quality of sound, intonation, bowing technique, technical skill, expression, and many others arise. I also give importance to well-being, self-confidence, or other abilities that the student would like to acquire.

TRANSVERSE FLUTE: My lessons cover several aspects necessary for good playing of the transverse flute and free musical expression: healthy body posture, stable technique, attentive listening, musicality, personal development. It is from these notions that the quality of sound, digital and respiratory technique, intonation, expression, and many others arise. I also give importance to well-being, self-confidence, or other abilities that the student would like to acquire.

SOLFÈGE: My courses cover several aspects necessary for the successful learning of music theory: strategies for recognizing intervals, chords and rhythms and their executions, singing, musical indications, exercises, attentive listening, musicality. These aspects are essential to instrumental practice, because they first allow you to correctly read a score, then analyze and interpret it.

I am a pianist with a Master's degree in piano and a state teaching diploma. Currently pursuing a Master's degree in accompaniment at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, I put my experience and passion for teaching at the service of my students.

My goal is to empower each student to read and interpret music independently, while developing within a clear and motivating framework. We set specific goals together from week to week to ensure steady progress.

Having taught for several years in music schools and conservatories, I know how to adapt to each project: exam preparation, discovery of the repertoire, technical development or simply the pleasure of playing. With rigor, kindness and enthusiasm, I accompany each student in their musical journey.
