After 6 years of studying piano, jazz piano and pedagogy in the Netherlands, I am back in France. I was the top piano teacher in the French community of Amsterdam for 3 years with 30 students per week.
My goal as a teacher is for students to develop artistic autonomy through the development of technique, music theory, confidence, and ear training. My lessons are geared towards this, regardless of the repertoire. I am open to student suggestions and creative profiles, and I am able to guide students and introduce them to musical works, as well as improvisation and composition techniques, all in a fun and supportive atmosphere!

Learn to play; to decipher the scores and improvise by ear or by reading and analyzing chord charts. This course will adapt to your level of play: simple harmonies for beginners and more complex depending on the degree of mastery of the instrument. This course also includes a thorough introduction to harmony.

With me, you can begin, develop, or even perfect your piano skills. I adapt to all levels, styles, and paces. Some students who have dedicated a significant amount of time to studying piano regularly have made tremendous progress in a short period.
For students wishing to prepare for the entrance exam to the conservatory, I can help you in the form of an intensive mini-course during the summer or before (piano leveling and/or music theory).

My teaching method is sensory-focused, emphasizing the development of movement in connection with musical feeling. I will help you "connect" with your instrument and unlock its full potential.
Also, I attach importance to understanding the pieces played. Understanding their structural, harmonic functioning is necessary and unfortunately little addressed in traditional courses.

My classes are deeply human. A relationship of trust is established from the very beginning of the lessons. In my opinion, this is the foundation of effective learning.

My students are very satisfied with my approach, and I would encourage you to try the experience too!

I teach at home (Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume), at the student's home, and also via videoconference in the rest of France and abroad.
For this last option, if you are not equipped, I will help you with your first steps.
I offer hybrid formats for certain locations (online courses + some occasional in-person courses).

CESU option

The pleasure of working with you !

Hello, welcome to my ad!

My name is Matéo and I am 26 years old. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and teaching it for 5 years. After studying at the conservatory and music school, I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) specializing in jazz guitar. Over the years, I have been able to accompany around forty students, both in private lessons, group lessons and at the conservatory where I teach today.

OPTION1) The course I offer is aimed at beginner to intermediate level guitarists, of all ages (children too!), in acoustic and electric guitar.
My goal is to give you the essential basics of the instrument (body position, technique, chords) as well as an understanding of fundamental musical concepts (rhythm, ear, reading tablature and/or music theory) which will be very useful to you as a musician.
We will base our learning as quickly as possible on real pieces of music, if possible suggested by the student because I think that learning by playing the music you like is the most motivating method.
As a teacher, I have always adapted as best I could to each profile to make them learn in the way that suited them best, make them play the music they like, help them with their difficulties and push them to surpass themselves in their abilities.
Finally, I always make sure that the lessons take place in a calm and pleasant atmosphere so that the student progresses at their own pace and learns while having fun.

OPTION 2) This course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and musicians in general) who want to acquire a deeper understanding of music theory. What we can cover, depending on your needs: analysis, harmony, composition, transcription, improvisation, music theory, ...

Lessons can take place at my home, in the 15th arrondissement, or at the student's home where I can travel (for an extra) within a reasonable radius.

Declared via CESU (Universal Employment Service Check) or self-employed invoice.

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 offer saxophone lessons to beginner saxophonists and to already experienced saxophonists.
I also give lessons in improvisation, theory, harmony, music theory and composition.
In short, everything you need to play and improvise in the style of jazz.
During improvisation classes in my music studio, I use accompaniment instead of a jazz rhythm section (piano, bass, and drums). This effectively prepares students for playing in a real band later on.

In addition to saxophone lessons, I can give piano lessons as a second instrument for saxophonists, which is essential in order to understand and hear harmony.
I give lessons at home in Paris in the 16th arrondissement between the Iéna (line 9) and Boissière (line 6) metro stations.
For students who are unable to attend classes in person, I can provide video lessons via WhatsApp.
My job as a teacher is declared. Students can obtain invoices.
I accept students with irregular schedules and availability.

I'm Romain, a university student and passionate pianist for about ten years. After a classical education at the conservatory, I developed a more intuitive approach: playing by ear, personal arrangements, simplified theory, and above all... fun from the very first lessons.

A teaching method designed to help you learn the piano in a less conventional way. Want to learn to play the music you love, without the hassle? Movies, anime, video games, jazz, improvisation, pop, accompaniment... I'll teach you to play freely and at your own pace, even without music theory.

• Stimulate creativity and personal expression through the instrument.

📦 INCLUDED MATERIALS

• 🎧 Audio files (play-alongs) for practicing in a real context.
• 🎼 Customizable repertoire: pieces chosen by the student, adapted to their level.
• 📚 Modules of harmony and theory applied to bass.
• 🎶 Improvisation material: scales, rhythmic patterns and stylistic language.

🔄 METHOD STRUCTURE
1. Initial assessment: diagnosis of musical level and interests.
2. Personalized plan: selection of the directory and definition of short/medium term objectives.
3. Dynamic lessons: combination of technique, repertoire, ear training and improvisation.
4. Continuous monitoring: progress recordings, personalized feedback and adjustments.

🎸 CONTENT BY LEVEL

👨‍🏫 PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH

My name is Loris, I'm 22 years old, and I'm a student at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP) in the jazz department. I've been playing saxophone since I was 14 and previously studied in Germany, where I'm from. Since I started playing, I've performed in various big bands and solo projects, such as the South German Youth Jazz Orchestra. For my own projects, I've toured throughout Germany, France, and the Netherlands. I also taught for a long time in Germany at a music school, where I had students ranging from 11 to 65 years old, and I thoroughly enjoyed teaching all levels and musical styles! Having gained considerable experience, I know what's important for each student and how to best achieve their goals and, above all, make learning enjoyable! I specialize in jazz, but I'm open to anything!

See you soon, I hope.
Loris!
