About Me

"What separates the piano from other instruments?" "How does one control the sound of a piano?"
"How do great composers for piano proceed so that their work are able to touch us so deep?"
Those are some of the questions I ask myself regularly, for the possibilities that offer this beautiful instrument fascinate me, and my passion for it grows more day by day.
My name is Robinson, I am 27, and I will try to share that passion with you, whatever goals you have. After 3 years in New York, I am back to my hometown Geneva to work as a pianist, composer and educator.

Regardless of your age or your professional background, you are welcome to take piano lessons ranging from classical to jazz, including current and traditional world music and even film music! I also teach notions of music theory, improvisation and composition as a bonus. Let your creative imagination run free!
Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians...

My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

Practicing the piano since the age of 4, I obtained in 2020 my DEM (Diploma of musical studies) from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Strasbourg (Alsace) (equivalent to the Swiss Certificate). I am now a bachelor's student in opera singing and piano at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne since September 2020. In parallel with my studies, I have always enjoyed sharing what I myself have the chance to continue to learn, so much so that I have been giving private piano lessons for 3 years.

I believe that for the student to get the most out of his course, a great adaptability of the teacher is necessary. I therefore build my lessons according to the wishes of the student, both in the choice of the pieces he/she would like to play and in the space where the lessons take place, so that his practice of music does him good. ! It is therefore essential for me that the framework where the student practices his instrument invites him to feel confident, happy and relaxed and that the music is above all a source of pleasure, and not a constraint.

My lessons include a "music theory" part, depending on your starting level, beginner or not.

I come to your home if you wish, but can also receive you at my home in Pully.

Piano and music theory teacher, 20 years of practice, teaches children and adults in the canton of Vaud, Geneva and Friborg

Patient, caring, I listen to the students and adapt passages that are too difficult.

I base my lessons on the alliance between the learning of music theory and the practice of the instrument. I also like to offer activities such as singing for the youngest and to make them feel comfortable during lessons.

This course is a discovery of the instrument as well as music theory. Passionate about piano since the age of 10, I have already been able to give lessons to beginners. The goal of these courses is to make you want to play, that it is a pleasure for the student to play an instrument and to discover the musical universe around the piano.
A graduate school teacher, I adapt to each student, because everyone learns differently.

I am a pianist with a Master's degree in piano and a state teaching diploma. Currently pursuing a Master's degree in accompaniment at the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, I put my experience and passion for teaching at the service of my students.

My goal is to empower each student to read and interpret music independently, while developing within a clear and motivating framework. We set specific goals together from week to week to ensure steady progress.

Having taught for several years in music schools and conservatories, I know how to adapt to each project: exam preparation, discovery of the repertoire, technical development or simply the pleasure of playing. With rigor, kindness and enthusiasm, I accompany each student in their musical journey.

A graduate of the Higher School of Music and currently pursuing a Master's degree in Performance, with extensive experience teaching in schools, conservatories, and private lessons, I offer piano lessons tailored to all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced musicians. My method is based on a structured progression, blending technique, musicality, and the joy of playing. I pay particular attention to posture, tone quality, rhythm, and listening skills, in order to build a solid foundation or refine an already advanced level.

Music is a passion that has been with me since childhood and has truly helped me find my path. It is this passion that I seek to share: the desire to progress, to understand the instrument, to push oneself, and to experience the simple joy of making the piano sing. I want each student to be able to progress at their own pace while discovering what truly resonates with them in music.
Lessons can be geared towards classical learning, exam preparation, building a personal repertoire, or simply the pleasure of playing for oneself. My goal is to combine high standards, enjoyment, and confidence, enabling each student to develop true musical independence.
