I've been teaching saxophone and flute for about 30 years. I studied in Paris and New York with some of the greatest saxophonists, including the great master Barry Harris. Over time, I've developed a pleasant and effective method. I also teach the Alexander Technique, a very effective tool for learning to play with minimal effort.
I teach classes for all levels and styles, although I specialize in teaching jazz improvisation.

Above all i encourage my students to have fun with music! Course locations: Paris 13th and neighbouring arrondissements. Languages: French, English.

I profile each of my lessons according to the desires and musical objectives of the student. People of all levels, from novice to initiated are welcome!

For beginners: solid learning of the basics of the instrument (mouthpiece, sound, posture, technique, etc.) to be able to quickly play the first musical tunes. Learning music theory (reading and understanding the score) will be done in parallel.
For amateurs: work on technique, expression, reading and discovery of the repertoire in order to progress and achieve your goals.

Direct heir to the teaching of Marcel Mule, the 'Father' of the French saxophone, I would be delighted to share my method and my experience with you.

Do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss your projects and expectations.

- Musical theory (harmony, music theory)

I do not have a precise methodology, each student is different and requires a different approach, I adapt the lessons to the student and their way of working.

I actually have two intermediate level students and I usually divide the lessons into three parts (to be discussed)
⁃ Warming up
⁃ Piece (of the student's or teacher's choice) with the technical exercises necessary to play it
⁃ Duo if interested or musical training/music theory if necessary

I can also help conservatory students succeed in their flute and music theory exams.
In short, you are welcome in my class, to start, to play duets in pairs or to rehearse before an exam.

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, I will be happy to answer you!

Teaching languages: French, English and Portuguese.

My courses are primarily aimed at those who are starting out in music and who wish to begin learning the flute, including ear training and the discovery of music theory, or at those who wish to deepen their knowledge of the instrument and explore new repertoires.
On the program: learning to breathe, discovering a varied repertoire, technical work...
I base my lessons on various works and especially on my musical experience, aiming to transmit my passion for music.

With a master's degree in musicology, I have been playing piano, guitar, bass, and flute for several years, notably in various jazz and contemporary music ensembles. As a student of scholarly disciplines (analysis, music history, composition, orchestration), I strive to connect instrumental practice with elements of musical culture and historical events.
Through my lessons I try to transmit my passion for music and the desire to learn.

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 my home in Paris. For students who are unable to attend in-person lessons, I can give video lessons via WhatsApp.
My job as a teacher is declared. Students can obtain invoices.
I accept students with irregular schedules and availability.

With my experience as a teacher at the Conservatoire (in total I have given more than 8000 hours of lessons over the last 15 years), I am able to support you whatever your level: beginner, intermediate levels, returning to the clarinet after a break, preparation for competitive exams (young professionals).

My courses will allow you to acquire or consolidate solid technical foundations (knowledge of the instrument, body and breathing exercises, digital technique, sound production, etc.) while developing a personal musical sense (notions of phrasing, historical concepts and notions of musical analysis, etc.).

Possible additional lessons: music theory (possibility of mastering the basic concepts quickly), special techniques (continuous breathing, double detached, etc.), bass clarinet, small clarinet, basset horn.

I am committed to providing a comprehensive and demanding but above all caring education, in a warm atmosphere that puts each of my students at ease and allows them to develop their potential, whatever their level.
