About Me
My name is Jean-Michel and I am the proud father of two children aged 4 and 7 who were born in the Libournais.

I spent nearly 20 years in Germany mainly in the home equipment sector for emblematic brands such as IKEA and Habitat.
For the past 15 years, I have criss-crossed Europe to conquer new markets for the French wine industry.

German has become my second nature and perhaps still dominates my state of mind today. Cold, disciplined and enduring. A priori therefore not very friendly, but my experiences of transmission of the German language and culture guarantee an effective experience and learning of the language.
I want to support motivated and hardworking students.

Whether you're a beginner, aiming for a professional level, or simply want to play a variety of pieces as a hobby, let’s have fun learning the flute together!

For Beginners & Children
Young beginners will follow a structured, textbook-based approach at a comfortable pace, building strong technical foundations. Lessons include both performance and music theory, ensuring a well-rounded musical education. I carefully select teaching materials to keep lessons engaging and effective.

For Hobbyists & Advanced Players
If you've already played the flute (or another instrument) and want to expand your repertoire or improve your sight-reading skills, I’ll help you develop fluency in playing and reading music. I’ll share tips and techniques to help you play the pieces you love with ease!

Flexible Scheduling
On-demand courses are available for those with limited availability, and I am flexible in rescheduling lessons.

About Me
I took flute lessons for over seven years and played in several orchestras during that time, including a classical quartet in Germany, where I gained valuable insights into ensemble playing. I have performed at weddings, churches, events, and funerals, gaining experience in adapting music to different settings and emotions.

For me, music is not just about technical proficiency or theoretical knowledge—it’s about bringing a piece to life with your own feelings and emotions and expressing them through the flute.

I have over two years of teaching experience with both beginner and advanced students in Germany and Korea. My goal is to help each student not only improve their technique but also find their own voice through the flute.
