Daniel
------------------
- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

As a pianist, I trained at the École Normale de Musique de Paris in the class of Pierre Etcheverry and in private lessons with Jacques Rouvier. I also worked as an assistant director of a conservatory (CRC) in the Paris region. I am a graduate and have won several competitions: Madeleine de Valmalète (2nd prize, two consecutive years), Musica (1st prize unanimously, with congratulations, two consecutive years).

Committed to sharing my expertise and, above all, my passion for music, I have been giving lessons for over 15 years. Whatever your starting level, your motivation and love of music will allow you to progress very quickly.

Looking forward to meeting you for some great musical moments together :)

Graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts and the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris (CNSMDP), I received a complete musical training including piano, harmony, solfège, analysis and chamber music.

Today I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate levels, children and adults, with an approach that is both structured and enjoyable, centered on musicality and the pleasure of playing.

🎵 Gradual and supportive work
🎵 Reading, rhythm, coordination, basic technique
🎵 Classical, modern or popular repertoire, according to your tastes
🎵 Clear method + concrete objectives (and small exercises between lessons if desired)

The courses are adapted to the pace, desires and objectives of each individual, with a serious but warm teaching approach.

📍 Lessons at my home (Paris 2nd arrondissement, Rue Montmartre) – acoustic piano available
🗣️ Languages spoken: French, Japanese, English

I am a final-year classical music student at the conservatory and have been playing piano for 13 years. Being a lifelong learner allows me to better understand the challenges faced by beginners. I will be able to guide you through the process.

My primary goal is to spark a love for this instrument in my students. I listen to your desires and preferences, and we explore them together to find what you enjoy, progressing from piece to piece.

I particularly enjoy working on my ear, which allows me to detach myself from the sometimes aridity of the score and to open myself up to other musical styles.

In addition to this, I incorporate important technical exercises that help build confidence in touch (scales, Hanon, Czerny...).

Then I introduce music theory (according to each person's wishes) in order to become comfortable with sight-reading and independent with sheet music (JM Allerme)

I am addressing this course to adult beginners, in their first years of practice, up to young children just starting out on the piano.

The student's focus and objective take priority.
Work on posture and "classical" technique, to acquire a certain ease, virtuosity and pleasure in playing the instrument.
A study of harmony, the heart of the tempered keyboard.
Open to different types of pieces and genres: variety, jazz, classical, French songs, rock, pop and other current music.
Accompaniment for singing.
Study of composition and improvisation, to express one's inner creativity.

You play the piano but something prevents you from being completely free?
Tensioned shoulders, strained forearms, painful wrists, rapid fatigue, passages that get stuck despite hours of work... Or simply that feeling of having to force yourself to play.
That's precisely where my work begins.
I offer you personalized work to understand what, in your way of playing, creates tension, fatigue or blockages and to gradually regain a more natural, freer and more efficient movement.
As a student of Monique Deschaussées, I was deeply influenced by her approach to the body at the piano: posture, breathing, use of weight, support, freedom of movement and search for natural movement.
This approach informs my own work as a concert pianist: I give more than 150 concerts a year, mainly recitals, in extremely varied repertoires. Physical freedom is therefore not a theoretical concept for me: it is at the heart of my daily performance practice.
Depending on your needs, we can work:
— tensions, friction and blockages in the game
— posture, support, weight and freedom of movement
— technically difficult passages
— sound and touch
— piano technique
— musical interpretation and construction
— working methods and autonomy
— memorization and stage preparation
We work from your playing style, your body, and your repertoire. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all method.
Classical, pop, rock, film music: my repertoire is particularly vast and I insist that the technique always remains at the service of the music you wish to hear.
You tell me about your background, the difficulty you are facing, and what you want to change. Together, we determine if my approach meets your needs and what form of work would be most appropriate.
If your issue is suitable, I can also offer you more in-depth, personalized support.
Because playing the piano shouldn't be a struggle against your own body.

Do you want to learn piano and play the songs you want? I offer lessons tailored to your level and goals, in a relaxed and progressive atmosphere.

In the program:
Learning the basics of piano
_ Scales and chords
Rhythm work
_ Advice for progress

It's true that it's cool to be able to play any song, so don't hesitate to contact me so I can help you in your quest.

My lessons emphasize oral practice, ear training, and musical understanding. We work on chords, melodies, rhythms, and improvisation, with an approach tailored to each student to develop their autonomy and creativity at the piano.
