Have you always dreamed of singing or humming your favorite hit and accompanying yourself on the guitar?
I adapt to the level of the student, to have the student play as soon as possible, I can accompany him on percussion or bass, no music theory required, if you want to learn with music theory it is also possible .
For over 40 years, I have been part of groups of all styles and I have also performed with street singers.
No nonsense... you suggest your song to me and I will tell you, after evaluating your skills, what it is. We define together what you want to do and for what desired end result.
Classes are held either at home or at my premises located near the airport.
No obligation on the number of lessons, no compulsory music theory, only if desired, no particular age. Then, auf defines the plan of attack together 😉
Don’t hesitate to ask me questions, I don’t bite :)!
Looking forward, have a nice day

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.

I hold a BMus in classical Music (voice and piano) from Goldsmiths University, London, as well as a Postgraduate Diploma in Vocal Studies from the Royal Welsh College of Music, for which I was awarded the Geraint Evans vocal scholarship to study with the world-renowned Opera singer Suzanne Murphy.

I have been a professional opera singer for over 15 years, and have taught throughout London and the South East of England both privately and at specialist schools such as the Jasper Allen school for Performing Arts in London.

I understand how daunting it can be to sing in front of someone - especially for the first time. Your voice is your own precious instrument. One that requires respect and care.

My aim is to help you build self-confidence, find your voice, and express yourself through music.

As your vocal teacher, I will help you to set goals that develop your unique instrument and bring out your own personality.

We will work on building a solid technical foundation including breath control and voice placement (classical and pop)through all musical genres, from Madonna and Prince to Mozart and Sondheim.

Everyone and anyone - all ages and ability are welcome!

I'm based in Eaux-Vives.

I also run a new non-audition adult choir on a Monday and Thursday evening.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- 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 piano and singing lessons at home in Geneva and the surrounding area, for teenagers and adults who wish to sing while accompanying themselves on the piano or work on a personal repertoire.

These lessons are suitable for both beginners and those with some prior experience in piano and singing. The goal is to create a clear, musical accompaniment tailored to your voice, your skill level, and the songs you enjoy.

We can work together:

the basics of piano to accompany yourself;
simple chords and chord progressions;
rhythm and voice/piano coordination;
harmonic listening;
accuracy, phrasing and interpretation;
the construction of a simple and effective support system;
reading sheet music or chord charts (American chords);
adapting a piece to your key;
the work of expression and emotion.

You choose the repertoire: French songs, pop, variety, jazz, musical theatre, film scores, personal pieces or songs that you dream of being able to play and sing.

I can also support singers who wish to prepare for an audition, a performance, a demo, or a show. The lessons can be focused on piano, singing, or a balance of both, depending on your needs.

My background combines piano, singing, accompaniment, harmony, American composition, ear training, creating shows, and accompanying singers and dancers. I started playing piano at age 7 at the conservatory and studied there until the third cycle, before teaching in Paris and Brussels.

I place great importance on listening, enjoyment, and personalization. Lessons are fully adapted to your level, tastes, and goals. We progress step by step, in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere, with practical tools so you can quickly practice on your own between sessions.

I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots at home.

I travel to Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.

Hello,

I offer private guitar lessons for all levels, all ages and all styles of music.
From classical guitar to electric guitar, including folk guitar.
I also give bass lessons for beginners.

Program
- How long are the classes?
My lessons are private, lasting 30, 45, or 60 minutes. We will determine the duration together based on your age and level.

- At what age?
You can start playing guitar from the age of 6 and there is no upper age limit!

- What style of music?
I teach all styles of guitar, from classical to electric guitar, including folk guitar, from classical to metal, including song and jazz.

- Can we sing?
If you'd like to accompany yourself with singing to liven up your evenings by the fire, meals with family and friends, or to prepare a small concert, I can also help you with that. For any other artistic endeavor, I'm happy to discuss your ideas!

- We can also develop your sense of creativity and help you discover your improvisation talents.

- I'm scared, I've never studied music theory!
If you're afraid of theory, know that music theory shouldn't be a barrier to guitar playing, because:
1. You can learn it as you progress in playing guitar.
2. You can also use tablature, which is an easier way to read music.

- I want to understand everything about music!
If you love theory, we can go further by exploring sight-reading and even harmony.

- What should I bring with me to class?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, just bring your guitar and your good humor, I'll take care of the rest!
