Discover the joy of rhythm!

In my classes, you will learn the tabla as well as other percussion instruments – if you wish – in a friendly, dynamic, and motivating atmosphere. You will discover bols (rhythmic syllables), the different tāls (rhythmic cycles), hand coordination, playing precision, and the art of improvisation, all while developing your sense of rhythm and creativity.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, each lesson is fully adapted to your level, your goals and your learning pace.

My goal is to transmit much more than a technique: I also want to share the joy of playing, the energy of rhythm and the richness of the Indian musical tradition, in a caring atmosphere where learning always remains a pleasure.

I am a young Italian professional cellist with 23 years of study and professional experience. I have been living in Paris for four and a half years. I earned a Bachelor's degree from the Turin Conservatory, then specialized in Baroque music in Paris, completing advanced studies at the Paris Conservatory, a Master's degree from the Versailles Conservatory, and a second Master's degree in Classical and Romantic music from the Saintes Conservatory (Abbaye aux Dames). I work with several renowned European early music ensembles such as Le Concert Spirituel, Accademia Bizantina, Les Ombres, and La Chimera. I was a semi-finalist in the prestigious MA Competition 2021 in Bruges. I also play modern music, and with my solo cello and electronic music project, I have had the opportunity to participate in major Italian festivals. In France, I regularly work with the French chanson trio Melquiades.

I offer cello lessons for all levels and all styles (classical cello, baroque cello and modern cello), with the possibility of following the lessons at home, by webcam or at home, in French, Italian and English.

The method that I adopted in my studies and that I teach is Suzuki: working on the student, nourishing his environment with stimuli and simultaneously developing his artistic and technical maturity, his morality and his character.
I also believe in group work, the possibility of playing with friends or colleagues, so I often suggest creating small ensembles to share and learn good music with others.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- 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.

I offer drum lessons at home and in the studio within Paris.

A professional musician for 10 years, I have extensive experience on stage, in the studio, and teaching. (I have recorded over twenty albums and have toured extensively in France and internationally.)

In recent years I have focused on teaching drums, which is a passion of mine. For this reason, I decided to write my own method "the drum book", which has 3 volumes (about 300 pages), which I have continued to expand with the more than 60 students I have been lucky enough to have.

I could sum up my approach in three words: learn, have fun and work. The lessons are done in a good mood! The drums are a fun, rewarding and sometimes demanding instrument. I want to provide the richest possible teaching, based on my "drum book" method and the learning of pieces (chosen by the student if they wish).

You are in the right place if:

- You start the drums.
- One of your children wants to play the drums.
- Want to resume or continue classes.
- Your level ranges from beginner to advanced.

Would you like to learn to play the violin, or are you a beginner looking to improve? Then you've come to the right place. I've been passionate about playing the violin since I was 7 and have taken regular lessons myself for many years. As a former student at a music grammar school who graduated from the violin school, I've played in various symphony orchestras and collaborated with people of all ages. So, if you just want to learn the basics, need practical tips, or need accompaniment to practice challenging two-part pieces, I'm here for you.
