From 99.56 £ /h

Concert pianist with more than ten years of professional experience, holder of a Masters in Jazz Performance from the Manhattan School of Music in New York, I offer piano lessons for all ages and all levels. My pedagogy is based on understanding the instrument and the musical language:

- Solid classical background which allows me to meet the needs of pianists targeting the conservatory or a high school.
- Experience in preparing for auditions or recitals
- Experience as a church pianist in New York; I therefore also have basics of gospel and blues
- Jazz harmony / classical music theory lessons
- Composition -> I specialize in composition for solo piano
- Jazz pianist by training: I specialize in the Jazz repertoire and therefore improvisation
- Patient and passionate teacher, I will offer a program adapted to the desires, level and needs of the student.

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.
