About Me

Tessa is a Kiwi actress and musician who up until recently was based in Los Angeles, California. She recently made the decision to move home due to COVID-19, and has completed her 14-day quarantine healthy and symptom-free!

Beginning classical voice at the age of 3, Tessa now has over 18 years of music-related experience and is classically trained in piano, voice, and drama. Her love for music and appreciation for those who mentored her in her youth led her to develop a desire to teach, which she began 5 years ago, after completing her Trinity College ATCL Diploma, with Distinction.

A student of the prestigious NZ Singing School and National Youth Drama School in New Zealand, Tessa developed a love for both classical music and musical theatre, and went on in her career to reprise lead roles in various musicals including Veronica in ‘Heathers’, Vanessa in ‘In the Heights’ and Lindsay in ‘Godspell’, where she also assisted the musical director in teaching the cast. From a pool of thousands, Tessa was selected perform at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in England, where she played Celia in ‘As You Like It’, earning her the Hastings Young Achiever award.

The cultural prefect of her high school, she quickly realized the positive influence a kind and safe space to learn can effect in students, regardless of their age or background. Having experienced teaching students of all ages, Tessa feels confident interacting with a wide range of personalities and abilities, always creating a comfortable learning environment that fosters passion for the craft, balanced with learning new and technical aspects.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- 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.

Hello !

My name is Camille, I'm 26 years old and I grew up in France, where I completed my violin training with soloist Marie Cantagrill. I then obtained my Bachelor's degree at the University of Arts in Graz (Austria), and I also studied for a year at the Academy of Music in Krakow with Professor Wojciech Koprowski.

Currently, I am continuing my studies in violin pedagogy (IGP – instrumental and vocal pedagogy) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna (MDW).

Thanks to my experience with teachers from various countries, I have acquired a lot of knowledge in pedagogy, study techniques, musicality, etc., which I would love to share with you!

For me, it is essential to cultivate the pleasure of playing and to work on technique in the service of music.

Courses can be given in French, German or English, depending on your preferences.

I offer lessons at my home (equipped with an electric piano, music stand, etc.) or I can also travel to you, depending on the distance.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for any questions or additional information.

See you soon !
Camille
