course price icon
From 119 C$ /h
arrow icon
As a concert pianist, trained at the Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris, winner of several international competitions, and currently artist in residence at the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth in Belgium, I offer piano lessons that combine pleasure and seriousness.
Whether you want to progress or start at the piano, I have had the pleasure of helping many students in private lessons. I am based in Paris, in the 11th arrondissement, and give my lessons at home, where I have a Yamaha CX3 grand piano, or I can go to the student's house.
Extra information
My lessons are suitable both for complete beginners who have never practiced an instrument and for students of more advanced levels wishing to improve.

I adapt to the tastes and desires of each student. because everyone moves at their own pace.
Classes are done with or without music theory, in a very pleasant and serious way. The objective of my lessons is to help students become independent quickly, so that they can play the repertoire that fascinates them.

- My method emphasizes the understanding of the musical text and the language specific to each composer to learn the work in depth.
- I also pay special attention to a technique without tension and the constant search for a beautiful sound.

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.

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

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.

This course is for those who want to learn guitar, piano, and music and harmony theory.
I started playing music at age six and was lucky enough to find a teacher who truly understood how to instill confidence in me. Beyond music theory, a very academic approach that clearly discourages further exploration, he had me playing, learning directly through my fingers and ears the music I loved. Without him, I surely would have given up. Like him, I now want to share the joy of playing, learning all kinds of pieces, and perhaps even composing my own.

As a passionate musician (piano duo) and holder of a degree in musicology from the Sorbonne, I offer personalized support for anyone wishing to start playing the piano, regardless of their age.
My approach: a gentle and structured teaching method, focused on the joy of playing as much as on technical fundamentals (reading sheet music, rhythm, hand position, basic harmony, ear training). I have also developed my teaching skills by teaching French as a foreign language to adult groups for several years — I know how to adapt to each student's pace and make learning motivating.
Lessons can take place at my home in Neuilly sur Seine or at your home, in the Paris region.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and arrange your first lesson.

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.

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.

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

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.

This course is for those who want to learn guitar, piano, and music and harmony theory.
I started playing music at age six and was lucky enough to find a teacher who truly understood how to instill confidence in me. Beyond music theory, a very academic approach that clearly discourages further exploration, he had me playing, learning directly through my fingers and ears the music I loved. Without him, I surely would have given up. Like him, I now want to share the joy of playing, learning all kinds of pieces, and perhaps even composing my own.

As a passionate musician (piano duo) and holder of a degree in musicology from the Sorbonne, I offer personalized support for anyone wishing to start playing the piano, regardless of their age.
My approach: a gentle and structured teaching method, focused on the joy of playing as much as on technical fundamentals (reading sheet music, rhythm, hand position, basic harmony, ear training). I have also developed my teaching skills by teaching French as a foreign language to adult groups for several years — I know how to adapt to each student's pace and make learning motivating.
Lessons can take place at my home in Neuilly sur Seine or at your home, in the Paris region.
Feel free to contact me to discuss your goals and arrange your first lesson.

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.
