Musical awakening in Geneva (0-6 years): voice, rhythm, listening and discovering the piano

From 69.79 £ /h

I offer in-home music awakening sessions for young children in Geneva and the surrounding area.

The goal is not to give a lesson in the classical sense, but to open a first door to music: listening, singing, moving, feeling the rhythm, discovering sounds, playing with the voice, gestures, small percussion instruments and the keyboard.

Depending on the child's age, the sessions may include:

nursery rhymes and songs;
rhythm and pulse games;
listening and sound recognition games;
a gradual discovery of the piano;
of movement, musical gesture and coordination;
small ear exercises;
moments of imitation, invention and expression.

For toddlers, especially those between 1 and 3 years old, the approach is very gentle, sensory, and playful. It uses voice, body, sounds, images, play, and repetition. The goal is to create a lively, joyful musical experience adapted to the child's pace.

For slightly older children, around 3 to 6 years old, one can gradually move towards a first discovery of the keyboard: recognizing low and high notes, following a pulse, reproducing small patterns, singing while accompanying oneself, inventing short musical phrases, developing listening and concentration.

My approach is flexible and entirely personalized. Some children need a lot of movement, others need to observe, listen, repeat, or use their imagination. I adapt to their age, energy level, sensitivity, and pace.

I began my musical studies at the conservatory at the age of 7 and completed my training there up to the third cycle. I have been teaching piano and singing for several years, and I have also created children's shows and accompanied singers and dancers. My background allows me to approach music in a dynamic way, connecting rhythm, voice, body, listening, and emotion.

I can provide in-home services for a single child, siblings, or a small group of children, depending on availability. I can also offer occasional or regular sessions in various settings: early childhood centers, nurseries, daycare centers, associations, community centers, or music workshops.

The duration (and the price) will be assessed based on the child's age.

I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots available at home.

I travel to Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.

Possible travel to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several sessions are grouped on the same half-day.

About Me

As a teacher with several years of experience, I enjoy sharing knowledge in a structured, supportive, and relaxed environment. I place great importance on communication and listening to each student. My goal is to provide a solid foundation while fostering the joy of playing, exploring, singing, listening, and expressing oneself, according to each student's individual goals and abilities.

My background combines piano, singing, accompaniment, harmony, ear training, rhythm, and show creation. This allows me to adapt my lessons to very different profiles, from young children to adult beginners, those returning to music, or advanced students.

Trained at the conservatory (CNMDT) in piano, music theory and operatic singing for more than 10 years, I continued to improve my skills as an adult, particularly in music theory and harmony.

Piano and vocals in Geneva — accompanying yourself or being accompanied

69.79 £ /h

I offer piano and singing lessons at home in Geneva and the surrounding area, for teenagers and adults who wish to sing while accompanying themselves on the piano or work on a personal repertoire.

These lessons are suitable for both beginners and those with some prior experience in piano and singing. The goal is to create a clear, musical accompaniment tailored to your voice, your skill level, and the songs you enjoy.

We can work together:

the basics of piano to accompany yourself;
simple chords and chord progressions;
rhythm and voice/piano coordination;
harmonic listening;
accuracy, phrasing and interpretation;
the construction of a simple and effective support system;
reading sheet music or chord charts (American chords);
adapting a piece to your key;
the work of expression and emotion.

You choose the repertoire: French songs, pop, variety, jazz, musical theatre, film scores, personal pieces or songs that you dream of being able to play and sing.

I can also support singers who wish to prepare for an audition, a performance, a demo, or a show. The lessons can be focused on piano, singing, or a balance of both, depending on your needs.

My background combines piano, singing, accompaniment, harmony, American composition, ear training, creating shows, and accompanying singers and dancers. I started playing piano at age 7 at the conservatory and studied there until the third cycle, before teaching in Paris and Brussels.

I place great importance on listening, enjoyment, and personalization. Lessons are fully adapted to your level, tastes, and goals. We progress step by step, in a focused yet relaxed atmosphere, with practical tools so you can quickly practice on your own between sessions.

I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots at home.

I travel to Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.

Possible travel to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several courses are grouped together on the same half-day.

Piano lessons at home for children, teenagers and adults - Conservatory trained

69.79 £ /h

Back-to-school schedule open from August 17th — fixed weekly slots available

Regardless of their level, objective or age, I provide each of my students with a fully personalized approach.

Having started at the conservatory at the age of 7 and left 15 years later after training in instrumental performance, theory, singing, and harmony, I quickly began teaching. My journey took me from Toulouse to Brussels, then from Brussels to Paris, where I lived for 10 years. I accompanied singers and dancers, created shows, led workshops and choirs, and guided students from their first piece to their first competition.
Having always preferred to be on the sidelines rather than in front, teaching is a true path for me: I seek to transmit knowledge, find the right entry point, and see autonomy and confidence gradually emerge.

Recommendations from former students are available upon request.

My courses are aimed at children, teenagers and adults.
I believe in the importance of music theory, which represents the alphabet of every musician: ultimately, it's what will allow you to play anything you want, without a teacher, without memorizing, and... without YouTube ;)
I directly integrate musical training, rhythm and ear training into the course, so that you can immediately put what you learn into practice and understand its usefulness.
The repertoire is chosen together according to the ages, tastes and objectives of each person: classical, jazz, pop, variety, film music, piano-vocal accompaniment...

I travel to homes in Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.
I can also travel occasionally to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several courses are grouped together on the same half-day.

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.
Also available for adult classes!

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

Learning while having fun is tempting!
I offer you a gentle and playful approach to the trumpet, through the pleasure of playing with good sensations on the instrument.
To do this, I adapt to your desires and needs and guide you as best as possible towards your goals.

I work in the Geneva area and am studying for a Masters in Pedagogy at the Geneva University of Music.

Throughout my schooling, I was able to develop my knowledge and my pleasure of playing the trumpet. Meeting great trumpet players and teachers allowed me to understand multiple ways of approaching this instrument.

The acquisition of a degree in musicology, a DEM in trumpet and then a Bachelor in Trumpet as well as experience in different formations (reggae, French song, pop/rock, bigband, symphonic orchestra, baroque ensemble, chamber music, contemporary music, ...), plus experience as a trumpet teacher in music school, a Bafa/Juleica and a crazy love for music and in particular the trumpet, allows me to assure you that you will find something to satisfy you!

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
