🎯 INTRODUCTION
(English version below ⬇️)
Learn violin with a professional concert violinist active on the international scene.
I was trained directly by Maxim Vengerov, one of the world's greatest violinists, and I regularly perform as a soloist in concerts and festivals across Europe.
👉 You don't just learn the technique —
You learn to play, think and sound like a true stage musician.
💎 WHY MY TEACHING IS DIFFERENT
Most violin teachers:
no longer perform on stage
focus solely on the exercises
My teaching is based on genuine concert experience:
develop a powerful and beautiful sound
play with confidence
prepare for concerts and exams
progress efficiently without wasting time
👉 I teach what actually works on stage — not just in the rehearsal room.
🧠 INJURY TECHNIQUE & PREVENTION
A crucial aspect of violin playing is often overlooked: posture and tension management.
Over time, poor technique can lead to:
unnecessary tensions
physical pain (neck, shoulders, back)
limitations in progression
👉 Many students only realize it when problems arise.
From the outset, I focus on:
a natural posture
freedom of movement
an efficient use of the body
This ensures healthy and sustainable progress.
🔧 ADVANCED CORRECTION & SUPPORT
I also work with:
✔ Students who have developed technical difficulties
✔ violinists suffering from tension or discomfort
✔ Musicians who feel “stuck” in their progression
👉 With the right approach, it is entirely possible to rebuild a free, natural and confident technique.
🌍 INTERNATIONAL COURSE
International concert violinist
Winner of international competitions
Experience of concerts across Europe
Working with top-level musicians and ensembles
🎯 TARGET AUDIENCE
✔ motivated beginners
✔ Children starting out on the violin
✔ adult amateurs
✔ Advanced students preparing for exams or concerts
👉 Each course is tailored individually.
💰 STOCK VALUES
You are not paying for a standard course.
You are investing in:
an international level training
a true stage experience
precise and effective teaching
👉 This level of teaching is usually found in top-level conservatories.
✨ FINAL MESSAGE
My goal is not just to teach you the violin —
but to help you develop confidence, freedom and true musical expression.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- 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.

Guitarist, singer, poet, composer, performer ... and with 20 years of teaching experience, I am happy to share my experience and my know-how: both from a technical point of view (musical knowledge, instrumental or vocal technique ...) than from a more global point of view: expressiveness, body awareness, confidence, creativity ...

What interests me above all is to guide you towards more relaxation and confidence as well as autonomy with his or her instruments, to accompany his curiosity, to develop his musical sense and give him the means to go towards the music (s) that attract him.
I like to work from what touches you: welcome to those who know what pieces they dream of playing, what style they like!!... instrumental technique and music are learned all the better through what we like (starting from learning a piece to learn a rhythm, reading new notes, knowing more about a style of music, the form of music, etc.)

GUITAR SIDE
I am competent for:
- accompany the learning of the accompaniment guitar (repertoire pop folk rock English speaking French songs of all kinds, trad music, basics of bossa and blues ...)
- teach the techniques and repertoire of the classical guitar: know the different styles (baroque, renaissance, classical, traditional Hispanic and South American, contemporary and so on!), acquire dexterity, look for the sonic subtleties of the instrument...
- guide the little ones (from 6 years old) to discover the instrument and the music;

VERSATILITY and CREATIVITY!
I support all projects that need a guitar AND a voice:
- do you want to sing along? I teach what is missing in guitar, what is missing in vocals and I have a toolbox today full to facilitate the coordination of the two!

- do you want to compose, write songs, or do you have texts but not the chords, you have the melodies but not the words? ... Do you feel stuck in some part of the process? I can help you unwind the thread of your creativity, better understand your gestures, your "dough", find new paths etc ...

By adapting to the level, I propose to approach the guitar through pieces chosen by the student which we will analyze by ear and work on together.

This teaching method aims to place the joy of playing at the heart of the process, allowing for a more engaging and accessible approach to theoretical concepts. Having trained at a conservatory and with 10 years of experience, I have explored a different teaching approach through playing in groups practicing free improvisation.
I was a student of Thibault Abrial (guitarist for Trust, Johnny Hallyday and Michel Berger) between 2017 and 2024, and I draw inspiration from his teaching methods.

Learning chords or theoretical knowledge (triads, scales, arpeggios) is done at the student's request.

The goal is to emphasize active listening, in order to understand how to play without reproducing a score: the use of tablature will be as an additional tool and not as a structuring principle of my approach.
