About Me
Passionate about music since the age of nine, I started with the trumpet at music school. During my adolescence, I began composing and went on to study musicology at the conservatories of Aix-en-Provence and Marseille after high school. Today, I am a multi-instrumentalist, a student in a master's program in film and television music, and I am also a composition student at the Lyon Conservatory. I want to share my love of music and make learning this magnificent instrument accessible to everyone! (the best)
Education
I spent nine years at the Conservatoire de la Provence Verte, where I learned trumpet, music theory, and played in a brass band. I obtained my second credit in Music Culture at the Conservatoire d'Aix-en-Provence, where I studied harmony and composition. I am currently studying composition at the Conservatoire de Lyon. I hold a bachelor's degree in Musicology and am currently pursuing a master's degree in Music Applied to Visual Arts (MAAAV).

I gave music appreciation classes in a socio-cultural center during the 2021-2022 year to children aged four to six.

I teach instrumental practice by alternating exercises and pieces (even if you are a beginner!) and music theory if necessary (in a fun way, I promise ;) ). - Learning pieces (jazz standards, Balkan music, pieces of your choice - Learning Improvisation for beginners (on a short or modal grid) - Technical exercises and advice to have a beautiful sound and improve over the weeks - Written and oral transmission (with and without score) - Music theory (reading notes and rhythms, recognizing instruments, developing the ear...) I adapt to your level and I do it according to your knowledge of music!

Professional musician, graduated from the Music Academy International with honors.
Guitarist especially, bassist from time to time and drummer a little bit..
Dynamic, attentive and passionate, I experience music in all its dimensions.

The guitar is an instrument that I love, that I like to make discover and share. No matter your style and your level, I will be there to facilitate its learning, thanks to my desire to transmit, to my patience, I know how to make my students progress so that they take as much pleasure in playing as me!

My method: For beginners, we will try to play as quickly as possible some pieces, riffs and melodies. I will introduce you to chords, different ways of accompanying, in arpeggios, in strumming, with percussions... and rhythm!

For intermediates, we can refine your playing by discovering specific guitar techniques: bends, slides, back and forth, sweeping, legato, tapping, string-skipping, chicken-picking, etc. There is plenty to do! 😅 We will further install your sense of rhythm, the true foundation of solid musical expression. I have a simple and infallible method for learning scales, harmony and knowing how to use them. We will start improvisation, this exhilarating feeling of letting go giving an incredible feeling of freedom, to demystify the great masters of the guitar: Hendrix, Django, Gilmour, Knopfler, Stevie Ray, Clapton, Gallagher, Page.. and the one you like!

For apprentice shredders, with my technical skills, I will analyze your playing, freeing the blocking points, explore the harmony while refining the implementation because rhythm is music!

And for the die-hards there remains: modes, melodious minor, diminished system, augmented, parton, modal harmony, knowing phrasing on different styles, intervals, pairs of triads, playing in arpeggios, jazz and bop, chromatic approaches, enclosures, diatonic, tritonic substitutions, polymodality, modern pentas, changes in flow, visualization of the neck, the CAGED system, the Coltrane Change, Petrucci, Guthie Govan, Paul Gilbert, Yngwie, Greg Howe, Nuno, Tom Quayle, Martin Miller, Matteo Mancuso, Rick Graham, Meshugg, Periph... 😉

I have played a lot, on stage, in the studio, and elsewhere, I could also advise you on equipment and on creating a repertoire. Finally, I have training as a Mix-Master sound engineer, passed at the CFSM under the direction of Nicolas SAFFRAY. We can see creation and mixing techniques specific to MAO if that suits you more.

If you like guitar, don't hesitate!

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

Do you want to start playing the piano, progress or simply learn to play the pieces you love? I will accompany you in your learning with a progressive, personalized and caring approach.

I offer lessons at my home in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure for beginners and intermediate students, children, teenagers and adults.
Since each student has their own desires and goals, I adapt to your level and pace. The objective is to learn the essential basics of piano while enjoying playing and progressing.

🎼 Course structure

We will start gradually with the basics of music theory and reading scores, in order to allow you to become increasingly independent when faced with a score.

We will then work on pieces chosen by the student or suggested according to their level and tastes. I can introduce you to different musical styles: classical music, pop, contemporary music, vocal accompaniment, etc.

Over the course of the sessions, we will cover topics including: reading sheet music, coordination between the right and left hand, posture, rhythm, stress management and musicality.

My goal is to enable you to progress step by step while developing your autonomy, musicality and confidence.

Never played piano before? No problem! We'll start with the basics and progress gradually.
Do you already have some basic knowledge? Together we can identify areas for improvement and design sessions based on your objectives.
Do you want to learn how to accompany yourself while singing? As a singer-songwriter, pianist, and pianist myself, I can also teach you the basics needed to accompany yourself on the piano while singing.

🎶 My musical experience

I have been playing the piano for 5 years and I have my Brevet d'Études Musicales (BEM), corresponding to the end of cycle 2 at the conservatory.

As a contemporary music pianist, I have had the opportunity to perform in various settings: concerts, piano/voice duos, multi-instrumental groups, choirs and auditions.

I also do covers, especially piano/vocal, as well as my own compositions, which you can find on my YouTube channel “Silvia Officiel”.

I am available to answer any questions you may have and would be delighted to discuss your level, desires, and objectives with you.
Feel free to contact me to arrange an initial meeting. I look forward to meeting you!

Musically,
Silvia
