A piano lesson that meets the needs of everyone, from children to retirees who want to enjoy music. For those who want to prepare for admission to a music school and would like to learn the basics of this wonderful instrument!
The course is structured according to the didactic needs of each student.
In any case, we will never neglect the basics of piano technique useful for tackling each repertoire.
Extra information
I completed my piano studies at the State Conservatory of Music “Giuseppe Verdi” in Turin (Italy), obtaining a DBachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts in this discipline, with a final mark (Italian grading system) of 106/110 at the end of the first and 110/110 at the end of the second.
My studies were quickly completed by a very active professional activity, first as a pianist (I was able to test my interpretative skills from my adolescence, playing in concerts and piano competitions) and, subsequently, in areas related to teaching and live musical performance.
Indeed, in recent years I have worked in private music schools, teaching people of all ages, but mostly children and teenagers.
In these contexts I had to develop educational paths adapted to each student.

About Me
I am a musician, I love music and the piano and I like to make this wonderful art known.
I teach by trying to listen to the needs of each student, respecting the inclinations and aspirations of each.
I see music as an opportunity for personal growth and social sharing.
Education
After obtaining the baccalaureate (Classical High School “Camillo Cavour”, Turin), I finished my piano studies at the State Conservatory of Music “Giuseppe Verdi” in Turin, obtaining a Diploma Accademico di Primo Livello (equivalent to a Bachelor of Arts) and a Diploma Accademico di Secondo Livello (equivalent to a Master of Arts) in this discipline, with a final grade (Italian grading system) of 106/110 at the end of the first and 110/110 at the end of the second. The objective of these courses was the acquisition of a solid instrumental technique as well as an in-depth study of piano literature. My musical training as a pianist was the starting point for cultivating different interests in the cultural and musical field. Hence my desire to broaden my outlook and continue my studies abroad, which I will begin in September 2022 at the University of Neuchâtel (Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences). By joining the BeNeFri convention, part of my career will take place at the University of Friborg where I will follow the courses of the Department of Musicology and History of Musical Theater, while in Neuchâtel I will follow the courses of the Department of Philosophy .
Experience / Qualifications
My studies were quickly completed by a very active professional activity, first as a pianist (I was able to test my interpretative skills from my adolescence, playing in concerts and piano competitions) and, subsequently, in areas related to teaching and live musical performance.
Indeed, in recent years I have worked in private music schools, teaching people of all ages, but mostly children and teenagers. In these contexts I had to develop educational paths adapted to each student, organize public performances in collaboration with other teachers and adequately manage relations with the families of younger students.

« Please keep your style: I really love it! » (Lang Lang, après que je lui eus joué Wilde Jagd de Liszt)

Diplômes (from the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot):
- Diploma Supérieur de Concertiste
- Certificate of Education
- Diploma Supérieur d'Enseignement

Prix (en 2024, non-exhaustive):
- 3rd Prix au Concours Pianissima international (Category: Prestissimo; President of the Jury: Cyprien Katsaris)
- 3rd Prix au Concours international Opus Artis
- 2e Prix au Concours Léopold Bellan, mension speciale for Rachmaninoff

J'ai donné des concerts in France, in Belgium and in Greece. J'ai également joué pour la télévision française (France 5).

J'ai eu l'occasion de jouer salle Cortot à Paris pour Lang Lang ; The interpretation of the Wild Hunt by Liszt: « Please keep your style: I really love it! »

This is the form of the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot with Michael Wladkowski and Guigla Katsarava. He studied harmony and contrast with composer Stéphane Delplace. Depuis September 2025, I achieved perfection at the Haute Ecole des Arts de Berne with the pianist Zlata Chochieva.

Depuis plusieurs années je donne des cours de piano à des enfants comme à des adultses, aux débutants (qui n'ont jamais joué de piano) comme aux aux avancés (qui veulent devenir professionnels).

Nous verrons comment travailler de façon efficace, comment apprendre par coeur, comment fonder les bases d'une bonne technique, and nous verrons the grammaire de la musique (theorie).

Je m'adapte à vos attentes et j'enseigne avec joie!

N'hésitez pas à m'écrire, je répondrai volontiers!

As a piano teacher and accompanist, I give lessons to students of all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced.

Having grown up in a family of musicians, I started playing piano at the age of 5 in the Parisian conservatories of Aubervilliers, Paris and Saint-Maur-des-Fossés. I then continued my studies at the Lausanne University of Music, where I obtained my Bachelor's degree before enrolling in a Master's program in accompaniment.

My work as a musician is now very varied: I accompany singers, instrumentalists, and choirs, and participate in opera, orchestral, and chamber music projects. This experience allows me to explore a wide range of repertoires and work with musicians of very different backgrounds.

I have been teaching piano for several years, both in music schools and privately, and I have also helped students prepare for exams and competitions. What I enjoy most about teaching is sharing both the joy of playing and the curiosity to understand music.

Since each student has their own desires, pace, and goals, I adapt the course content to each individual. Depending on their needs, we can work on a piece, develop technique, improve sight-reading, or prepare for an exam, all while gradually building a solid foundation.

I aim to offer a comprehensive learning experience, combining piano practice with reading music, ear training, music theory, and an understanding of what is being played. I also place great importance on discovering composers, styles, and repertoires, in order to develop curiosity and musical sensitivity.

The repertoire can be very varied, depending on individual tastes: classical music, film scores, songs, or contemporary music. The goal is to find pieces that inspire practice while allowing for progress.

I pay particular attention to building solid foundations while preserving the pleasure of playing and discovering, with the aim of gradually making them autonomous in their musical practice.

I can also accompany conservatory or music school students in solfège and harmony, addressing both theoretical aspects and their practical application, up to the preparation of exams or competitions.
