About Me

A professional musician for many years, I have had the opportunity to explore all aspects of musical practice. I have a strong interest in composition and arrangement, as well as synthesizers.
I am a pianist by training.
I have released several "pop" music albums on well-known labels.
My songs have been playlisted on France Inter, Radio Nova, Fin etc... I have done concert tours and major festivals such as the Transmusicales in Rennes, Solidays, the Vieilles Charrues, Francofolies and many others.
I also have a passion for teaching music, and piano. Sharing my passion is a true pleasure, whether it's with children who are discovering it, or with adults who are returning to the piano after many years.

Education

Passionate about music since my earliest childhood, I started by taking private piano lessons, then I completed a music-focused Baccalaureate, and then obtained a degree in Musicology from the Sorbonne.

Music production/arrangement/composition lessons by an experienced artist

41 £ /h

From raw idea to finished product: unleash your creative potential.

Author, composer, performer and producer with several albums to my credit relayed by the main media (France Inter, Arte, Nova...), I support emerging and passionate musicians and producers in their artistic and technical development.
My approach is based on a dual expertise: the rigor of composition and arrangement (harmonies, melodies, textures) and the mastery of modern production (synthesizers, sound design, mixing).
What we will work on together
Composition & Harmony: Develop strong ideas, structure your pieces, write memorable melodies and work on chord progressions.
Arrangement & Sound Design: Combining acoustics and electronics, sculpting your synthesizer sounds, choosing the right timbres and energizing your sequences.
Mastering your DAW (Ableton Live): Getting started, smooth workflow, using VSTs, effects (reverb, delay, compression) and automation.
Mixing & Finishing: Balancing frequencies, adding depth to your tracks and preparing your songs for release or the stage.

Useful information
Audience: Beginners wishing to lay a good foundation, or intermediate/advanced musicians looking to professionalize their sound.
Format: Tailor-made individual lessons.
Method: A 100% practical approach focused on your own projects and your musical universe.

Student at the National Conservatory of Music in Paris, and classical pianist since childhood, I offer lessons in operatic singing, but also piano and solfège.

I have been practicing music for over fifteen years, and I will be delighted to be able to share with you all that I have received during these Conservatory years.

I especially want to work in a demanding way, but in a constant good mood and in the love of music.

As a lyric artist, I work with many renowned professional ensembles in chorus and solo, and have won several international competitions.
I studied in Montpellier and I live in Paris for 4 years to be able to produce me regularly in Ile de France and abroad.

I studied singing at the conservatory and I acquired a sound and solid technique.
I am passionate about all repertoires and I would like to pass on this through friendly and enjoyable courses because singing must be a FUN!
I can talk about technique, as much as history of music, repertoire, style, theatrical play ...

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
The courses will be based on the student's requirements. The method that I propose is aimed at acquiring an understanding of each musical aspect so that the student can achieve complete autonomy from the point of view of interpretation.

Starting with technical aspects of the instrument (position, flexibility, relaxation) we will address all aspects of interpretation, in particular the fundamental notions of improvisation.

TRAINING:
License in harpsichord at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis with Prof. Francesco Corti and Master in harpsichord and basso continuo at the CNSMDP with professors Olivier Baumont and Blandine Rannou. In the same establishment I also attended teaching courses. I am a winner of several international competitions.

Looking forward to meeting you to share all my experience of musical and educational training and to spend moments of happiness in music!

A multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar, bass, synthesizer, percussion), composer, and sound engineer, I started playing music over 7 years ago. I started as a drummer, then trained on several instruments and studied sound engineering at the SAE Institute.

Today, I offer piano lessons in my studio in Paris or online, for all levels. Whether you're a beginner or more advanced, I guide you with a clear, engaging method tailored to your needs.

We discuss:

technical and rhythmic basics,
interpretation, accompaniment, harmony,
playing by ear, creation, improvisation,
and above all the pleasure of playing freely.
The piano may be the focus of the course, but you will also have access to other instruments (guitar, bass, synth) and professional equipment to enrich your learning if you wish.

I also offer lessons in guitar, bass, computer music, mixing, music theory and composition, in a global, creative and accessible approach.

➡️ Studio classes in Paris or online
➡️ Personal instrument required if remote

Want to get serious about it, without pressure? Write to me, and we'll see about it together!

After 9 years of conservatory training in piano, operatic singing and variety, and 3 cycles of solfège, I offer private lessons to discover or develop your skills in piano (accompaniment, synthesizer and classical pieces), singing (opera, variety) and solfège.

For piano lessons: if you have a piano, I can come to your home. Otherwise, lessons are given at my home using a digital keyboard.
For singing and for music theory: no equipment required, at my place or yours!

The goal: to prepare your pieces, songs, learn the theoretical basics and have fun with it all!

Together we define the course content based on your desires and objectives.

I use a range of tools and teaching materials to best adapt to your level: audio & video recordings, tablature, sheet music, text, diagrams, ...

For the most motivated, there will be the opportunity to participate in a small end-of-year concert, in order to familiarize themselves with the stage and play in front of an audience!

I am a final-year classical music student at the conservatory and have been playing piano for 13 years. Being a lifelong learner allows me to better understand the challenges faced by beginners. I will be able to guide you through the process.

My primary goal is to spark a love for this instrument in my students. I listen to your desires and preferences, and we explore them together to find what you enjoy, progressing from piece to piece.

I particularly enjoy working on my ear, which allows me to detach myself from the sometimes aridity of the score and to open myself up to other musical styles.

In addition to this, I incorporate important technical exercises that help build confidence in touch (scales, Hanon, Czerny...).

Then I introduce music theory (according to each person's wishes) in order to become comfortable with sight-reading and independent with sheet music (JM Allerme)

I am addressing this course to adult beginners, in their first years of practice, up to young children just starting out on the piano.
