My keywords:
Passion for music, flexibility, tension and relaxation, having fun = enjoy playing, being efficient and focused = music is a demanding discipline, independence of hands and fingers, regularity of work
My method is first of all to fascinate the student, and the music must above all give pleasure.
Then comes the choice of my working method adapted to the level of each one.
Of course, we will work on technique, listening, flexibility, posture, breathing, style, interpretation, but also self-confidence, and psychological self-encouragement, inner singing, anatomy and the correct posture of the musician (back, arms, wrists, fingers). All to develop a healthy position and a comfortable and fulfilled piano playing.

Extra information
Léo is a multi-talented Franco-Turkish concert pianist and an artist of great sensitivity. He expresses his pianistic art through the classical repertoire, jazz, and is fond of improvisation and composition.
After musical studies in Antibes, Nice and Paris, he was unanimously admitted to the University of Music in Geneva - HEM where he is currently studying with Cédric Pescia and Gabor Nagy Takacs. He also follows the Master of Pedagogy at the conservatory.
