About Me

I’m a relaxed but focused teacher who believes music should feel enjoyable from the very beginning.

When you learn with me, it’s not about rigid methods or heavy theory — it’s about building confidence, developing your ear, and actually enjoying the process of making music.

I adapt every lesson to the student. Some people want structure and technique, others want to jump straight into songs — most want a mix of both. I make sure you progress while keeping things engaging and motivating.

I particularly enjoy working with beginners and people who feel like they’re “not musical” — because that’s usually just a confidence issue, and it’s something we can quickly overcome.

At the same time, I’m also happy to work with more experienced students who want to refine their sound, improve their technique, or develop their own musical style.

My goal is simple:
to help you feel comfortable, make real progress, and actually enjoy playing or singing.

You want to discover this magnificent instrument that is the trumpet without the constraints of a school; you seek to perfect your knowledge in the field of jazz or simply to apprehend the world of the improvisation; you miss a new eye on your basic technique ....
I propose a teaching mainly focused on your needs. For beginners, I pay particular attention to the fundamentals of the "blower" to avoid a thousand suffering.
I graduated from the jazz department of the Conservatoire de Lausanne (HEMU).

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

I teach young students how to play and perfect playing Violin. depending on students level of playing, I teach and help them to have better understanding of music. My main goal is to make them fall in love with music and especially with violin. I teach classical music, therefore it is important to also know some basic facts about the pieces and composers that will come along on this amazing journey. I will help students to gain better understanding on how to practice and i will try my best to help them in any way they struggle with Violin. I understand how extremely difficult it is to be able to play Violin and especially perfect it and thats why it is very important to help students with their technique and sound.
