Hello! I started teaching piano at the beginning of my university studies, specializing in jazz piano, and have been teaching for over 10 years now, driven by my passion. All levels are welcome, whether you want to learn the basics of music theory, sight-reading, or how to improvise without sheet music. My specialties are jazz and pop piano, but I've also studied classical piano, music theory, and reading. I've worked with a wide variety of students from diverse backgrounds, which has made me very adaptable. I love tailoring lessons to each student's needs; the most important thing is to progress while having fun.

-- I also teach in english --

My lessons are for anyone wishing to approach the piano in a personalized way, regardless of the style and level targeted.
I divide my teaching into equal parts between theory (melody, harmony and rhythm) and practice (all pieces of your choice), the aim being to offer you a grid of global understanding of writing and musical interpretation.
I start from the principle that you have to have fun from the start, while looking for a high level of autonomy.

-- About me --

Having grown up abroad (in the Central African Republic then in Saudi Arabia), I had the chance to learn the piano through an eclectic teaching.
In particular, I was a student of Gulmira Abdukhalikova, a Kazakh concert artist now based in Abu-Dhabi, who made me progress by applying the famous "Russian method". At 13, I won 3rd place in the International Piano Competition of Île de France at Maisons-Lafitte.

At the end of my adolescence, I participated in the Big Band of the Children of Jazz, within the framework of a festival organized each year in Barcelonette by Stéphane Kochoyan (who was also, at the time, artistic director of the Jazz Festival in Vienna).

Subsequently, I set sail for Canada where I lived for six years. I co-animated several Open-Mics of poetry, as a pianist-improviser, and I produced two albums: "Fragments" (2018) and "Echoes of space-time" (2019), the latter having been 100% improvised and recorded "one-shot" in the studio.
At the end of 2020, three years after having started giving piano lessons in Canada and France, I publish "The method of the self-taught pianist" as well as my own sight-reading manual.
