I offer in-home music awakening sessions for young children in Geneva and the surrounding area.
The goal is not to give a lesson in the classical sense, but to open a first door to music: listening, singing, moving, feeling the rhythm, discovering sounds, playing with the voice, gestures, small percussion instruments and the keyboard.
Depending on the child's age, the sessions may include:
nursery rhymes and songs;
rhythm and pulse games;
listening and sound recognition games;
a gradual discovery of the piano;
of movement, musical gesture and coordination;
small ear exercises;
moments of imitation, invention and expression.
For toddlers, especially those between 1 and 3 years old, the approach is very gentle, sensory, and playful. It uses voice, body, sounds, images, play, and repetition. The goal is to create a lively, joyful musical experience adapted to the child's pace.
For slightly older children, around 3 to 6 years old, one can gradually move towards a first discovery of the keyboard: recognizing low and high notes, following a pulse, reproducing small patterns, singing while accompanying oneself, inventing short musical phrases, developing listening and concentration.
My approach is flexible and entirely personalized. Some children need a lot of movement, others need to observe, listen, repeat, or use their imagination. I adapt to their age, energy level, sensitivity, and pace.
I began my musical studies at the conservatory at the age of 7 and completed my training there up to the third cycle. I have been teaching piano and singing for several years, and I have also created children's shows and accompanied singers and dancers. My background allows me to approach music in a dynamic way, connecting rhythm, voice, body, listening, and emotion.
I can provide in-home services for a single child, siblings, or a small group of children, depending on availability. I can also offer occasional or regular sessions in various settings: early childhood centers, nurseries, daycare centers, associations, community centers, or music workshops.
The duration (and the price) will be assessed based on the child's age.
I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots available at home.
