I offer piano and composition lessons for advanced musicians, to refine their technique, enhance their performance, or prepare for competitive exams (CRR, CNSM). Customized support, with listening, pleasure, and high standards! Below is my biography.
A graduate of the Juilliard School of Music (New York), Jules Matton studied with John Corigliano (1999 Oscar winner for Best Film Music), who praised him as “a remarkable talent with impeccable technique.”
Alongside his studies in philosophy, he has received several distinctions: the Marcel Bleustein-Blanchet Foundation for Vocation (2010), the Excellence Scholarship from the Catholic Institute of Paris (2013), the Banque Populaire Corporate Foundation (2015), the Île-de-Créations competition (2017), the Grand Prix Lycéen des Compositeurs (2019) and the Bartók World Competition (2023).
His collaborations include artists such as Jodie Devos, Bruno Philippe, Thomas Dunford, Anastasia Kobekina, Kotaro Fukuma, Justin Taylor, Frank Braley, Paul Meyer, the Hermès Quartet, the Zadig Trio, as well as orchestras including the Orchestre National d'Île-de-France, the Orchestre National de Lyon, the Orchestre de Picardie, the Toulon Opera Orchestra, and the Æon Music Ensemble. His work spans a wide spectrum, from solo piano to large orchestra, including chamber opera and string quartet.
Also active as an improvising pianist, he also manages the estate of his father, a painter and sculptor. In 2023, he published his first novel, Gaspard, with Éditions Léo Scheer. The following year, he composed the music for the feature film Island by Nora Jaenicke, starring Fanny Ardant and Joanna Kulig, as well as part of the soundtrack for the film Une affaire d'honneur by Vincent Perez.
Jules Matton is currently completing his second novel and composing several privately commissioned chamber music pieces. His works are published by Éditions Billaudot and Éditions Lacroch'.
