About Me

I play guitar since I was 15 years old, I finished my studies at the Chambéry Conservatory in jazz guitar. I learned jazz music, theory and solfege, as well as improvisation, composition and arrangement with trumpet player Pierre Drevet (Brussel Jazz Orchestra). I played in several bands in France, ranging from African music to jazz trad through Hip Hop, Rock and Blues. I like music because it is able to touch all of us in our own way. I like to think that we can all learn how to do it, so I try to adapt to everyone in order to better support learning.

" UNIQUE "
What if telling your story with music could be fun and playful?

Don't waste hours going around in circles, constantly searching for videos on YouTube to learn in a simple and structured way.

To finally be able to express your feelings, your emotions, all through the guitar?

It's possible! And what we'll see through my lessons: you'll learn how to tune the instrument, practice its first chords, and quickly play your first songs.

Develop your ear and musical identity by exploring styles such as pop, rock, country, blues, jazz, bossa nova, funk just to name a few.

Discover and explore the richness of scales and modes to combine them with playing expressions like hammer-ons, pull-offs, legato, bends... Does that sound like Chinese to you? I understand. Through my lessons, all of this will no longer hold any secrets for you!

Whether you have no experience or a few weeks of practice under your belt, we will go step by step, taking into account your level, so that you progress at your own pace.

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- 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.

Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but don't know where to start? Do you already have a musical background and want to refine your piano skills or music theory knowledge? Or are you an advanced player who wants to delve deeper? I offer piano and music theory lessons.

In my piano lessons, I work with each student to discover their musical personality. Depending on their preferences, the emphasis is on jazz and improvisation or on classical music, supplemented with the necessary music theory. I always try to accommodate the tempo and needs of each individual student. Enjoyment is paramount. I teach all ages.

I am a professional drummer, composer, and performer based in Brussels, with an active career in jazz, improvised, and creative music across Europe.

Whether your background is rock, pop, world, indie, or anything else, we focus on what serves your music, and on what learning this instrument can become. My goal is not to tell you strictly how things should be done, but to help you find your own way of doing them. To strengthen the musician that already exists inside you, and give you the tools to grow with confidence and independence.

I offer private drum lessons focused on long term development rather than isolated sessions. My work with students is based on regular weekly lessons, helping each drummer build solid technique, musical awareness, sound, and a personal voice in the instrument.

These lessons are for:
- Beginners who want a strong and musical foundation
- Intermediate players who want to improve groove, coordination, and confidence
- Creative musicians interested in improvisation, sound, and advanced rhythmic development.

My approach is practical and human. We work on what you really need, from basic technique and time feel to more advanced topics like independence, phrasing, and creative practice methods.

I mainly work with students who are interested in continuity and real progress through regular lessons.
