About Me

Teaching is and has always been an important element in my activities. For me, helping and sharing represents one of the most effective ways to build relationships and allow both the student and the teacher to flourish.
I've been making music since I was 9 years old. By rubbing shoulders with many teachers and students and by participating in musical projects of various styles, I was able to forge my playing and my experience while developing a desire to transmit this passion and help budding musicians to put a foot in this world, or by helping the most advanced to progress.

My friends and students have often praised my patience and my teaching character. For me, everyone is capable of progressing, you just need to have the passion and the desire. The doors to the world of music are open to everyone, regardless of level and goals. The important thing is to find pleasure in it.

Private drum lessons (and music theory) - Intermediate level

128.77 C$ /h

Drums form the rhythmic foundation of any modern musical style. Polyrhythms, grooves, breaks, fills, all this jargon is part of the tools and techniques developed through the practice of this instrument.
The most important thing, however, is to have fun. A few basics are already enough to start having fun!
I always listen and adapt the program to the student's wishes and objectives. Whether it's to refine your technique, discover styles, or just exercise once a week, the drums are a versatile and quick to learn instrument.
Basic music theory can also be taught if necessary.

About me:
I started classical percussion in Geneva, at the Conservatoire populaire, at 9 years old, and continued until obtaining my certificate (with honors) in 2015.
At the same time, I started playing drums at 15 years old. I immediately fell in love with this instrument, and I never stopped. I trained in jazz, but have played in many projects with varied styles since I was 18.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

You will learn how to discover the piano keyboard, the sound, how to produce it, how to improve it and look for a beautiful timbre. You will discover a whole series of practical and simple exercises which will allow you to familiarize yourself with this new instrument.
Then come a large number of composers. They are very old, modern, happy, nostalgic: here it is their music which will speak to you directly and thanks to it, a world will open up to you, speak to you but also allow you to express yourself in this new language that is: MUSIC!

My piano lessons are aimed at beginners as well as more experienced students. We will start by defining together what your objectives are in order to find a learning pace that suits you. I offer a global approach to the piano combining technique, interpretation of pieces of varied styles and improvisation/music theory. A course is generally structured as follows:

1. 5 to 10 minutes of technical work.

The development of effective gestures is essential in order to fully express one's musical potential. I offer progressive exercises allowing you to acquire the basics of piano technique (finger independence, velocity, hand coordination, arm mobility, posture, etc.). For young students, this work takes the form of keyboard games. Just like a sport, playing an instrument is a challenge for the body: I ensure that the student adopts a good posture on the instrument, in order to play with control and to avoid tension and injuries linked to an inattentive practice.

2. Interpretation.

I propose strategies for structuring the learning of a piece, in order to optimize the time spent working on the piano and to make the student autonomous in their practice. My training at the conservatory allows me to introduce you to the styles of different eras of classical music, from baroque to the present day. I am also open to other musical universes, and the choice of pieces is primarily based on your tastes and desires.

For the youngest students, I offer a suitable repertoire (arrangements of classical pieces, film music, video games, anime, songs), as well as simplified scores for a gradual introduction to reading. In order to cultivate motivation, it is important that students play music that speaks to them and that they are not discouraged by music theory.

3. Improvisation and music theory.

For students who are beginners or have never done music theory, I teach the necessary theoretical bases (orientating themselves on the keyboard, reading a score, rhythm, listening), often in the form of improvisation games. In addition to developing a personal connection with the instrument, improvisation also allows you to assimilate notions of harmony/counterpoint (scales, intervals, chords) through practice, and to understand little by little how music is constructed. To make the link with the repertoire being worked on in class, I often suggest taking an element of a piece as a starting point for improvising.

Of course, nothing obliges us to follow a particular plan, and if you come with a particular desire or a specific objective, I will try to meet your expectations as best as possible. I look forward to reading you, and sharing some beautiful moments of music together.
