Piano, music theory and musical appreciation

From 82 £ /h

Pianist student at the HEM in Geneva offers piano lessons as well as music theory! Basic elementary and intermediate level I also propose a part to speak about the musical appreciation of all the periods of the history of the music. For all ages!

These will be lessons to work on the piano (beginners and intermediate) while we talk about music theory (harmony, music theory, analysis, etc.) and also a time to listen to recordings and talk about musical appreciation. Besides classical education, I also work with jazz pieces and pop music. It's an hour to have fun, learn and discover.

I have over five years of experience teaching piano and music theory, with children, youth and adults.

I can move to the student's home (Lausanne and Canton of Vaud) and I am flexible with weekly schedules. I adapt to each student and situation!

Classes can be given in French, Spanish or English.

He participated in several concerts as a soloist with the Municipal Orchestra of Caracas and Rodolfo Saglimbeni, the Mozarteum Chamber Orchestra and the National Philharmonic Orchestra. He also performs in several editions of the "Festival de Música de Cámara Mozarteum" in Caracas and plays for several international embassies in Venezuela, in special events. During his studies at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, he had the opportunity to participate in the program "Des Masters sur les Ondes", presenting a program of Spanish vocal music with the soprano Pilar Alva Martín. This project earned them first prize in the Lavaux Classic competition (Lausanne) in the summer of 2021. It also received the Paléo Prize in 2020 for their excellent bachelor course at the HEMU. In addition to his piano career, he devoted himself to composition and the study of music theory, receiving advice from William Blank and took a keen interest in photography/cinematography, bringing the two disciplines together in several personal projects. He has just completed a Master's degree in piano in the class of Christian Favre at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne and will begin a second Master's degree in Musical Theory at the Haute École de Musique de Genève.

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! :)

Mes cours de piano, solfège et composition s'adaptent entièrement au profil et aux objectifs de chaque élève. Qu'il s'agisse d'un premier contact avec la musique, d'une reprise après une longue pause, ou d'une préparation sérieuse à des examens ou à l'entrée dans un conservatoire, nous construisons ensemble un parcours sur mesure.

Ma double formation — compositeur et pédagogue selon la méthode Jaques-Dalcroze — me permet d'aborder l'enseignement de manière à la fois rigoureuse et vivante, en reliant le son, le geste et la perception du temps. J'accorde une attention particulière au rythme et à l'écoute, qui sont à la base de toute pratique musicale solide.

Je travaille avec :

Les enfants : développement des compétences musicales de base, éveil rythmique et auditif, initiation à la lecture de notes et à l'improvisation

Les adultes : cours adaptés à vos objectifs, à votre rythme, dans une atmosphère bienveillante et exigeante

Les candidats aux conservatoires : préparation aux examens d'entrée et ABRSM, travail ciblé sur les lacunes spécifiques en théorie, solfège ou instrument

Les cours ont lieu en français, en anglais ou en russe.

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers, available all year round.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

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.

The lessons are above all based on the requests and expectations of the student, according to his level and age.
They generally include:

- Basic work
- Rhythmic and / or melodic and harmonic music theory
- Lots of music listening including Rock, Funk, Soul and Jazz

I can work on a method or with my own lesson sheets.

Professeure de musique et pianiste expérimentée, je propose des courses de piano et de formation musicale personalisés pour enfants, adolescents, adults et seniors.

Mon approche associe l'apprentissage du piano à la musicalité, l'écoute, le rythme, l'improvisation et la créativité. Je m'appuie notamment sur les pédagogies actives Jaques-Dalcroze et Orff afin que l'élève apprenne la musique de manière vivante et naturelle.

The courses are adapted to the level and objectives of chacun: piano discovery, musical initiation, reprise after several years, accompaniment to an apprenticeship that began or simply a pleasure of play.

Starting in September 2026, the Master in musical pedagogy – orientation Rythmique Jaques-Dalcroze will be offered to Geneva.

Mon objectif est que chaque elève progresse à son rythme tout en développant autonomy, confiance et plaisir musical.
