About Me

I am an active songwriter and I take the free-playing approach to guitar lessons. That's why I don't usually work with notes and instead try to convey the connections between musical structures and patterns in such a way that they can be used intuitively to accompany songs.

The length of the lesson will be tailored to the age and skill level of the student. For beginners with no prior experience, we will begin with the fundamentals of music theory and practical exercises to build dexterity on the piano. For students who already know how to read sheet music, we will work on a diverse range of pieces from different musical styles, with an emphasis on piano technique and expression.

Looking to learn piano but struggling to find the time for in-person lessons?
No problem! Online lessons can also be organised for children from age 8 and adults..

Have you always wanted to play the flute? Or...have you always wanted to have a hobby that improves the quality of your life? Learning a musical instrument not only sustains and feeds the brain, but it also improves so many other cognitive and physical aspects of the human body.
It's been widely studied and proven that learning a musical instrument improves memory, relieves stress, teaches you how to use both hemispheres, gives you a sense of achievement and...it's a lot of fun!

Have you always wanted to learn the flute? Or...are you looking for a hobby that can improve your life? But there are also other, scientifically proven, positive effects for music lessons: Learning and playing an instrument promotes intellectual development, trains fine motor skills, awakens creative and emotional potential and conveys important fundamental aspects for successful and happy learning!
But the most important thing is...it's really fun!!

The program will be tailored according to the student goals. (leisure, professional development) focusing on; basic knowledge of the guitar, basic chords and more advanced chords, scales and modes, theory and practice of improvisation, study of a repertoire, right hand technique (fingers or pick), music theory and rhythm, Logic Pro X, basic sound engineering and music production techniques and songwriting skills.

An understanding of what are the goals and interests of student, as well as their skills is the most effective way to pass on knowledge.

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

Guitar course for children and teenagers
This course is ideal for children and young people and has five main objectives:

Learn Chords: You will learn basic and advanced chords that will give you a strong foundation for playing the guitar.

Developing a sense of rhythm: We work on developing a good sense of rhythm so that you can play your favorite songs in time and with feeling.

Mastering Fingerstyle Techniques: Instead of using a pick, you'll learn to play with your fingers. This method will help you develop a more expressive and versatile playing style.

Practicing Arpeggios: We practice fingerstyle arpeggios to get beautiful, clear sounds out of your guitar.

Reading and Playing Melodies: You will learn to read and play melodies, which will help you express yourself musically and experience the joy of making music.

Our method
Instead of just doing technical exercises, we use songs and pieces that interest you. This makes learning both more fun and effective, and you'll see faster progress.

With over 15 years of teaching experience, mostly including years at a music school for highly talented young musicians, I have guided students of all ages, abilities, and ambitions—from complete beginners to advanced musicians preparing for exams, competitions and conservatory entrance.
I teach music theory (including ear training, harmony, and music analysis) and piano to children, teenagers, conservatory students, and adults. I also specialise in preparing students for conservatory entrance exams and advanced music studies, offering structured support in music theory and overall musicianship.
My lessons are engaging, motivating and carefully tailored to each student's individual strengths and goals.
Lessons are available at my home in Zollikon, online, or - by arrangement - at a nearby location. I teach in English, German, Russian, and Latvian.
