Before instrumental or vocal technique, the quality of listening, and the development of relative ear are the keys to being able to play music. Not moving your fingers mechanically on the instrument, but playing literally, having fun with the notes, rhythms and harmonies. During my years at the conservatory, as a child, I experienced this void of meaning that young students can feel in music theory classes. At the time I was a diligent student but quite mediocre in music theory. I simply didn't understand the method that was dictated to us in Musical Training class. This actually favors children with perfect pitch, and those who do not have it remain behind. What a pity ! But I was passionate and so I looked for other ways to develop my listening skills. I studied Indian music, I followed the teachings of American, German, Swiss teachers... And finally by practicing ancient music, I discovered ancient music theory. The latter is the one which provides the real bases from which all Western music arises. Counterpoint and harmony, everything became clearer to me.
Calm and patient by nature, I would be delighted to help you or your child to appreciate music theory thanks to a personalized creative and playful approach.

About Me
Having grown up in a family of artists, since I was very young, I have been passionate about music of all styles, all continents and all eras. Thanks to my saxophonist and composer father, I was able to develop free improvisation skills that you don't learn at the conservatory. So I was able to see the two "sides" of learning: the theoretical bases of the conservatory in classical guitar on the one hand, and the ability to improvise, to play with energy and groove within rock and funk groups, world music. In 2015, I discovered early music and developed a passion for the lute and the theorbo.
Currently graduated from the most prestigious school of early music: the Schola Cantorum in Basel (Switzerland) I am currently finishing my Masters in Versailles / Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines. I play in the baroque music ensemble Il Groviglio with which we recorded two discs and performed twice live on France Musique (see links below). I also play in many baroque music ensembles in France, Italy and Switzerland.
Webcam lessons possible in the event of confinement, but I much prefer human contact without this mediation.
