Hi there,
If you're looking to learn classical guitar or need advice and tips on how to improve your musical and technical skills I would be very much pleased to accompany you in this process.
Here are a few words on my musical background.

Throughout his career, he has collaborated with outstanding artist-teachers at various institutions, including the Conservatory of Vaux-le-Pénil, the CRR 93 in Aubervilliers-La Courneuve, the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Strasbourg, and the Musikhochschule in Basel.
After completing a master's degree in free improvisation with Alfred Zimmerlin and Fred Frith, free improvisation became central to both his artistic practice and his teaching.
His projects span both Alsace and Japan. In 2018, he had the opportunity to perform with the Strasbourg Philharmonic Orchestra in 200 Motels by Frank Zappa, and again in 2023 in the premiere of Suite Siddhartha by Bruno Mantovani.

The program of my lessons can be agreed and structured with you from the 1st lesson but it is quite possible to have a much more spontaneous approach according to your objectives. I can teach you essential music theory basics in the form of different practical exercises - Introduce you to different techniques related to your instrument or help you improve them according to your difficulties - Guide you in learning pieces of different styles (Pop, Rock, Metal, Funk, Reggae...) And more.
I also offer my services for coaching in launching musical projects.

Who am I ?

Growing up in a musical family, I started music with the classical piano at the age of 6 and played it for 10 years. It was at the age of 13 that I discovered the bass and decided to delve deeper into the subject by starting private lessons and this instrument has never left me since. In the meantime, I also took guitar lessons in parallel for two years and continued as an autodidact. I joined various Rock and Metal bands during my adolescence and decided to join the Neuchâtel Conservatory of Music in the jazz bass section at the age of 16 and studied there for 3 years. It was in 2019 that I had the chance and the opportunity to join the professional band Triumph Of Death (Hellhammer performed by Tom G. Warrior's Triumph Of Death) which performs internationally. Currently, I still play in this group as well as in two other musical groups. In 2020, the desire to teach music by giving private lessons was born and so I began this activity in Switzerland, to continue it in Belgium two years later. Being back in Switzerland in 2024 permanently, I wish to resume private lessons in person in the canton of Jura, as well as online* for students living outside the canton. *Online lessons take place on Google Teams and I already have several students living abroad. For more information, do not hesitate to contact me on this platform and I will be happy to answer you!
