(FRENCH) Piano lessons for beginners – children and adults – musical awakening through the ear, pop culture and the pleasure of playing

From 37.51 £ /h

My name is Marine, I'm 28 years old and I've been playing the piano since I was 12. A graduate of the Chantilly Departmental Conservatory in France (training obtained alongside my baccalaureate), I also studied jazz for two years in a specialized school, then in jazz piano classes at the conservatory. My musical approach is therefore rich, lively and open, far from rigid classical patterns.

⸻

🎯 For whom?
• Children from 5-6 years old, teenagers and adult beginners
• No prior knowledge required
• Ideal for those who want to discover the piano while having fun, without any professional objectives

⸻

🌟 My teaching methods

The idea is not to learn the piano as a constraint, but to experience it as a pleasure, a way of expressing yourself and discovering your own musicality.

✅ Method without traditional music theory: we work by ear, drawing inspiration from videos (such as “synthesia”), well-known songs and film music.
✅ Progressive but natural learning: we start with popular music (cartoons, pop culture, film music – Disney, Harry Potter, etc.)
✅ Objective: to develop listening, musical sensitivity, interpretation, creativity, and the pleasure of playing
✅ Gentle introduction to improvisation and the first elements of jazz, if the student is curious.

⸻

🎶 Why me?

• Experience with children and adolescents (I have already helped several young people learn their favorite music)
• Lessons adapted to each student: I attach great importance to their musical tastes, their desires, their pace
• Caring, encouraging approach focused on the enjoyment of music
• I am French-speaking, but I can also adapt to an international audience if necessary.

⸻

📍 Where?

• At home (Amsterdam, De Pijp)

⸻

✨ If your child dreams of playing Let It Go, Harry Potter or The Lion King on the piano, or if you yourself finally want to dare to put your hands on a keyboard, I would be delighted to accompany you on this musical adventure.

About Me

I’m 28 years old and have been living in Amsterdam since 2019.
As a native French speaker, I truly enjoy sharing my language and culture with others. Teaching French allows me to stay connected to my mother tongue and to pass on my love for it to students of all ages and backgrounds. Whether through conversation, literature, or everyday life, I believe language learning should be both meaningful and enjoyable.

In addition to teaching French, I also have a background in jazz piano, which I studied for several years. I’m now excited to share this passion as well, especially with French-speaking students in Amsterdam who are curious to explore music in a relaxed and creative way.

Experience / Qualifications

I have several years of experience working with children.
I taught French and study methods to a small group of children aged 11, 9, and 6, as well as to two young boys aged 10 and 8. These experiences allowed me to develop a creative and adaptive teaching approach, always centered around curiosity, play, and confidence-building.

In addition to working with children, I also helped a high school student prepare for her French Literature Baccalauréat, which she passed successfully.

Alongside teaching, I’ve worked as a television program editor in France, and I hold a Master’s degree in Art History and Archaeology, with a specialization in Modern French Literature. My academic background, combined with my love of language and culture, shapes a rich and engaging learning experience for each student.
