About Me

A passionate pianist and holder of a Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) with highest honors, I now dedicate my professional activity to teaching music in various forms. I work in music schools, universities, and also offer private lessons at students' homes.

My background is also enriched by my experience as a special education teacher. This dual expertise allows me to approach teaching with great human sensitivity, patience, and an ability to adapt to the personality of each student (children, adolescents, adults, or those with specific learning needs).

My teaching philosophy:
I see piano lessons as a space for listening and personalized progress. My goal is to combine the joy of playing with solid, structured technical work. Regardless of the repertoire (from classical to contemporary music), I directly integrate music theory and reading into the practical application of the instrument to make learning fluid and natural.

Whether you wish to discover the piano, resume a neglected practice or prepare for specific deadlines (auditions, conservatory exams), I will accompany you at your own pace and according to your projects.

My methodology is fully adapted to the student's needs. The methods vary depending on whether they want to learn to compose or play classical piano, or whether they want to play jazz, pop music, etc.
The important thing to understand is that in order to get the most out of the classes, you also need to practice on your own at home. This way, you can spend time together improving aspects of language, performance, technique, etc.

Professional musician, composer and producer.
10 international experience (Europe, South America, Asia)

Piano lessons, computer music, rhythmic initiation (through beatbox and body percussion) to all types of public.

Attractive teaching method mixing classic and modern.

PIANO LESSON:

My learning methods are modern while reinforcing the fundamental notions of rhythm, interpretation and theory which make the difference between amateurs and professionals.

My specialty is jazz which also helps develop the creative part and the improvisation of the students.

For the youngest we will work on the pleasure of playing music before arriving on classical music theory (essential) but which can quickly disgust a young child. Through new methods such as beatbox, body percussion, we can learn rhythm and independence while having fun.

According to the needs of the students I will develop a tailor-made program for each profile because each person is different, that's why I don't believe in only one way to learn music.

The easiest way is to come and try!

MAO COURSE:

Many people are interested in computer music, essential tools for BeatMaking, Production, etc...

Unfortunately in France it is difficult to find serious training at reasonable prices.
I myself had to go abroad to learn more about it.

I specialize in the following programs: Akai MPC Live, FL Studio.

Beginner who would like to launch into Beatmaking or confirmed who wants to improve the quality of these productions, I offer you all my secrets in composition and mastering.

We begin?

Being a graduate of the Conservatory, I acquired a very rigorous apprenticeship in music. Today, private lessons allow me to share my knowledge and pass it on. Music is learning, but it's also a pleasure.
For an optimal learning, I adapt as much as possible to the capacities of the pupil in order to be able to make him progress as well as possible, and that he thus learns the music and allow him to like to play and to make music.
Private lessons in piano and music theory require step-by-step learning, with regular work, which I take the time to do during the course, and which in this sense will have to be continued on the other days of the week, for a real evolution, for a beginner as for someone who has a good basis.

I have been giving lessons for beginners and intermediates for almost 2 years. What I like about giving lessons is to transmit my passion for music, the history of music and singing. What I want is to share the sensitivity behind each piece and to make the student understand the meaning of each written note and each phrasing. I like to work in a fun way, by singing the phrasings to work the ear instead of a too robotic work. I am also a babysitter and I know how to work with children, my teaching technique therefore changes according to the age, with children I want to share the love of music so that work at home is not a chore but a pleasure and a game. I have been playing the piano for 15 years and have been at the conservatory for 13 years, currently at the end of my studies. I give lessons at my home or at the student's home depending on the needs.
