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! :)

My piano, music theory, and composition lessons are fully tailored to each student's profile and goals. Whether it's a first encounter with music, a return after a long break, or serious preparation for exams or entrance to a conservatory, we will build a personalized learning path together.

My dual training—as a composer and a teacher of the Jaques-Dalcroze method—allows me to approach teaching in a way that is both rigorous and engaging, connecting sound, movement, and the perception of time. I pay particular attention to rhythm and listening, which are the foundation of any solid musical practice.

I work with:

Children: development of basic musical skills, rhythmic and auditory awareness, introduction to reading notes and improvisation

Adults: courses tailored to your goals and pace, in a supportive yet demanding atmosphere.

Conservatory applicants: preparation for entrance exams and ABRSM, targeted work on specific gaps in theory, music theory or instrument

The courses are held in French, English or Russian.

Patient, pedagogical, and attentive to the student's needs, my lessons are structured to help them progress quickly. My motivation for teaching stems from a desire to share my passion for music with everyone.
In my courses, practice and theory have an equal place: technical exercises, clarifications in solfège, chamber music and simple pieces then more complex depending on the student's level and desires.

Indeed you are however free to choose what you wish to work on, to propose pieces as well as to deepen a particular point, a specific technique for the most experienced.

Having started playing this instrument at the age of six, my deep attraction to music developed gradually through chamber music and the orchestra.

Currently, I give private and group lessons (from musical awakening to more advanced levels) as well as concerts in different venues (churches, performance halls, hospitals, retirement homes).

I attended the CRR of Rueil-Malmaison where I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) a few years ago, then the Geneva University of Music (HEM) where I obtained my Bachelor's degree. Afterwards, I studied in Stockholm at the Royal Academy of Music (KMH).

For about ten years now, I have been acquiring
My experience in teaching cello and music theory is constantly evolving and requires ongoing self-reflection and a degree of adaptation. My students are of all ages and skill levels.

In my classes we will study music theory, learn the posture and various violin techniques, work on the sweet sound production and on the pieces/songs that you like!

Having an experience of teaching full time in Singapore for 4 years, I have came up with lots of methods in teaching and helping my students with progress in violin playing. Currently I went on to continue my studies in Switzerland and now am offering online classes to everyone who is interested in learning to play Violin

I offer cello lessons for beginners and advanced students. My aim is not only to teach technique, but also what I have learned on stage and at the conservatories where I studied. As I am also a Tai Chi teacher, I place great emphasis on playing with a relaxed body and without tension.

Lessons can be held in Portuguese, German, English, French, Italian or Spanish.

If you want to learn in a practical and direct way, let's talk about it!

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.

As an experienced music teacher and pianist, I offer personalized piano and music theory lessons for children, teenagers, adults, and seniors.

My approach combines learning the piano with musicality, listening, rhythm, improvisation, and creativity. I draw particularly on the active teaching methods of Jaques-Dalcroze and Orff so that the student learns music in a lively and natural way.

The lessons are adapted to the level and objectives of each individual: discovering the piano, musical initiation, resuming after several years, accompanying learning already begun or simply the pleasure of playing.

From September 2026, I will be pursuing a Master's degree in music pedagogy – Jaques-Dalcroze Rhythmics specialization – in Geneva.

My goal is for each student to progress at their own pace while developing autonomy, confidence and musical enjoyment.

Starting out, resuming, progressing, preparing for a competition or exam, strengthening your practice or simply better understanding how to work: I offer support tailored to your project, in order to gradually make you autonomous in your practice.

I therefore tailor the learning experience to your individual needs, preferences, tastes, and learning style, with appropriate expectations. I teach all levels, from complete beginners to advanced students.
Conceiving of the courses as a space for exploration, listening and research, I am particularly keen that this dialogue remains lively and joyful, with kindness, curiosity and above all the pleasure of playing.
The repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary, while remaining open to individual suggestions. I pay close attention to my students' progress and am available between lessons when needed to support their work.

I help you build and/or consolidate a solid technical foundation. Furthermore, music theory and solfège are directly integrated into practice, in order to understand what you are playing and to learn how to work with a score.
I guide my students in understanding the style of the works and in the search for their own musical personalities.
My Master's thesis, dedicated to metacognition, extends this reflection on how we learn and on the means of learning, particularly to optimize memorization.
Many other aspects can naturally be added depending on each individual, each repertoire and each project.
