Experienced teacher in private lessons for all ages, my goal is to deepen music and more particularly piano according to the student's tastes: classical, jazz, varieties... depending on the level. I pay particular attention to relaxing the wrist and arm and developing listening skills. The course is shared between musical training and piano, depending on the level of the student.

Learning music, is directly connected to the cognition system of our mind, and our cognition is the first step to perceiving the music, so it is essential to understand music and perform it.
I am proposing classes in Piano, Composition, and Music Theory and writings.
In the class of Piano depending on the student's wishes, we work on different methods, from learning music just as an activity to students who wish to continue their profession as a musician.
The class of composition has the same algorithm as the piano class, the method selection is based on the student's wishes.
Music Theory is proposed in both classes of composition and piano on the side but for the students who wish to learn music theory separately with more concentration, I offer this class as a separate class too.
Class of Harmony and Writing actually has the same situation as music theory classes but students in the course of composition will be more specialized in harmony and counterpoint than piano students and of course, this course is proposed as a separate class too.

Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)
- Classical music (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.)
- Film music (La La Land, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
- French pop music (Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacque Goldman, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Location: At home (Antony and surrounding areas - Nanterre and surrounding areas)

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

See you soon at the piano!

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

Do you want to play Mozart, Debussy or Sofiane Pamart? Einaudi, Satie or Mendelsohn Bartholdy? Or improvise more freely?
It's the same! To become a musician, it's good to know some fundamental basics that will allow you to become independent and approach the music that interests you with awareness.

You have to work strategically, especially when you don't have hours a day to devote. The goal is for you to feel each week that you are better equipped than last week! And the body learns quickly if you feed it the right information.

My teaching adapts to each person's desires, but I like to instill what I consider to be important foundations for the musician's autonomy, technically (posture, flexibility of the arm and wrist) and theoretically (reading and rhythm).

I have a DEM in musical writing (writing in the style of so-called classical composers) from the CRR in Aubervilliers and I am currently studying towards a DEM in piano at the same conservatory.
I also study jazz on my own and regularly improvise in a more free manner.

Learning music can sometimes be laborious, which is why I like to insist on a clear work strategy by leaving the student with a clear and achievable mission each week.

Let's continue to love music and understand it better!

Hello! My name is Linh, I have always been passionate about music and have been playing the piano since I was six years old.
I trained at a music school, then continued with a private teacher, which allowed me to acquire an advanced level in piano as well as a solid foundation in music theory and music theory.
I've also had the chance to play with orchestras and accompany choirs, experiences that have taught me a lot about listening, rhythm, and musical sharing. 🎶

My classes are aimed at beginners and intermediate levels, children and adults.
With me, you will learn to:
🎵 read a score step by step
🎵 master the technical basics of the piano (position, coordination, hand independence)
🎵 play pieces you like (classical, modern or film music)
🎵 develop your musical ear and your sense of rhythm
🎵 gain confidence in yourself and above all, have fun playing!

My approach is caring, patient and fun: I adapt to your pace and your tastes so that each lesson is a pleasant moment.
Piano is all about fun and sharing — so if you want to learn in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere, I'd be delighted to help you! 🎹✨

Hello! I offer tailor-made courses, which can take place at my home in Colombes or at your home (Paris and its surroundings).
I took private piano lessons for many years. I was able to play a wide variety of pieces: classical, jazz, pop, film scores... I also studied several other instruments. As a result, I developed a broad musical knowledge, an open mind, and an understanding of effective ways to progress and enjoy myself.

I can guide you in discovering the joys of the piano by taking you to the other side of the instrument. You just have to dare to take the first step!
It's not "too late" and you don't need any special skills to start playing the piano. You simply need the desire to learn and be willing to dedicate some time to the instrument; everything can be learned.

My method consists of giving you a solid and clear foundation so that you can enjoy yourself and gain independence as quickly as possible. I alternate exercises and pieces of increasing difficulty to help you progress effectively.

For example, you'll learn to read notes and sheet music, and I'll give you all the necessary tools to progress and enjoy yourself. I'm also attentive to your preferences; the course can be adapted to you and your tastes (for example, in the choice of exercises and pieces).

If you want to buy your first keyboard and don't yet know which one to buy, I can also guide you in your first purchase.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

See you soon, William
