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! :)

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.

As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels.

Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG.

Since the creation of Rock Note, I take my job very seriously and everyone gets a lesson up to it. The recipe ? Professionalism, passion and devotion.
Of course, many things have evolved since the very beginning, but I insist on the constant deepening of my educational system to be sure to meet the needs of everyone ...

I offer in-home music awakening sessions for young children in Geneva and the surrounding area.

The goal is not to give a lesson in the classical sense, but to open a first door to music: listening, singing, moving, feeling the rhythm, discovering sounds, playing with the voice, gestures, small percussion instruments and the keyboard.

Depending on the child's age, the sessions may include:

nursery rhymes and songs;
rhythm and pulse games;
listening and sound recognition games;
a gradual discovery of the piano;
of movement, musical gesture and coordination;
small ear exercises;
moments of imitation, invention and expression.

For toddlers, especially those between 1 and 3 years old, the approach is very gentle, sensory, and playful. It uses voice, body, sounds, images, play, and repetition. The goal is to create a lively, joyful musical experience adapted to the child's pace.

For slightly older children, around 3 to 6 years old, one can gradually move towards a first discovery of the keyboard: recognizing low and high notes, following a pulse, reproducing small patterns, singing while accompanying oneself, inventing short musical phrases, developing listening and concentration.

My approach is flexible and entirely personalized. Some children need a lot of movement, others need to observe, listen, repeat, or use their imagination. I adapt to their age, energy level, sensitivity, and pace.

I began my musical studies at the conservatory at the age of 7 and completed my training there up to the third cycle. I have been teaching piano and singing for several years, and I have also created children's shows and accompanied singers and dancers. My background allows me to approach music in a dynamic way, connecting rhythm, voice, body, listening, and emotion.

I can provide in-home services for a single child, siblings, or a small group of children, depending on availability. I can also offer occasional or regular sessions in various settings: early childhood centers, nurseries, daycare centers, associations, community centers, or music workshops.

The duration (and the price) will be assessed based on the child's age.

I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots available at home.

I travel to 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.

Possible travel to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several sessions are grouped on the same half-day.

Hello,

I offer private guitar lessons for all levels, all ages and all styles of music.
From classical guitar to electric guitar, including folk guitar.
I also give bass lessons for beginners.

Program
- How long are the classes?
My lessons are private, lasting 30, 45, or 60 minutes. We will determine the duration together based on your age and level.

- At what age?
You can start playing guitar from the age of 6 and there is no upper age limit!

- What style of music?
I teach all styles of guitar, from classical to electric guitar, including folk guitar, from classical to metal, including song and jazz.

- Can we sing?
If you'd like to accompany yourself with singing to liven up your evenings by the fire, meals with family and friends, or to prepare a small concert, I can also help you with that. For any other artistic endeavor, I'm happy to discuss your ideas!

- We can also develop your sense of creativity and help you discover your improvisation talents.

- I'm scared, I've never studied music theory!
If you're afraid of theory, know that music theory shouldn't be a barrier to guitar playing, because:
1. You can learn it as you progress in playing guitar.
2. You can also use tablature, which is an easier way to read music.

- I want to understand everything about music!
If you love theory, we can go further by exploring sight-reading and even harmony.

- What should I bring with me to class?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, just bring your guitar and your good humor, I'll take care of the rest!

🎻 Want to discover the double bass? How about we do it together this year?
For young and old alike, let's get to know this great instrument!

As part of my Master's degree in pedagogy, I want to dedicate time to mentoring two people as they discover the double bass. Today, I want to use my experience to teach, while continuing to explore, play, and refine my teaching methods.

Currently I am a professional double bassist in a symphony orchestra since 2016, graduated with a Master's degree in performance from the HEM of Geneva in 2018, and have years of experience in the Alexander Technique.

Whether you're a child or an adult, a complete beginner or already a musician, the idea is to start with your desires and curiosity: discover this instrument, learn to play it, explore its sound, movement, and listening skills... and above all, enjoy making music. 🎶

I am deliberately limiting this offer to 2 people, so that I can really take the time to build the courses with each person and offer personalized support.

And what about the formula?
Lessons can be paid at a pay-what-you-want rate depending on your situation and I am also open to an exchange in the style of a "time bank": a double bass lesson in exchange for a skill...to be imagined together!

If you know that little musician in you who might like this idea, spread the word 💛 See you soon and happy back-to-school season to everyone!

I have been teaching piano and singing for several years, and I have also created children's shows and accompanied singers and dancers. My background allows me to approach music in a dynamic way, connecting rhythm, voice, body, listening, and emotion.

I can provide in-home services for a single child, siblings, or a small group of children, depending on availability. I can also offer occasional or regular sessions in various settings: early childhood centers, nurseries, daycare centers, associations, community centers, or music workshops.

The duration (and the price) will be assessed based on the child's age.

I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots available at home.

I travel to 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.

Possible travel to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several sessions are grouped on the same half-day.

My lessons are tailored to the student's musical interests. I can focus on classical training (solfège, music theory) or on popular music (rock, pop, etc.), always ensuring that the student enjoys making music.
Courses available in French, Spanish and English.

Hello,

I offer private guitar lessons for all levels, all ages and all styles of music.
From classical guitar to electric guitar, including folk guitar.
I also give bass lessons for beginners.

Program
- How long are the classes?
My lessons are private, lasting 30, 45, or 60 minutes. We will determine the duration together based on your age and level.

- At what age?
You can start playing guitar from the age of 6 and there is no upper age limit!

- What style of music?
I teach all styles of guitar, from classical to electric guitar, including folk guitar, from classical to metal, including song and jazz.

- Can we sing?
If you'd like to accompany yourself with singing to liven up your evenings by the fire, meals with family and friends, or to prepare a small concert, I can also help you with that. For any other artistic endeavor, I'm happy to discuss your ideas!

- We can also develop your sense of creativity and help you discover your improvisation talents.

- I'm scared, I've never studied music theory!
If you're afraid of theory, know that music theory shouldn't be a barrier to guitar playing, because:
1. You can learn it as you progress in playing guitar.
2. You can also use tablature, which is an easier way to read music.

- I want to understand everything about music!
If you love theory, we can go further by exploring sight-reading and even harmony.

- What should I bring with me to class?
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, just bring your guitar and your good humor, I'll take care of the rest!

🎻 Want to discover the double bass? How about we do it together this year?
For young and old alike, let's get to know this great instrument!

As part of my Master's degree in pedagogy, I want to dedicate time to mentoring two people as they discover the double bass. Today, I want to use my experience to teach, while continuing to explore, play, and refine my teaching methods.

Currently I am a professional double bassist in a symphony orchestra since 2016, graduated with a Master's degree in performance from the HEM of Geneva in 2018, and have years of experience in the Alexander Technique.

Whether you're a child or an adult, a complete beginner or already a musician, the idea is to start with your desires and curiosity: discover this instrument, learn to play it, explore its sound, movement, and listening skills... and above all, enjoy making music. 🎶

I am deliberately limiting this offer to 2 people, so that I can really take the time to build the courses with each person and offer personalized support.

And what about the formula?
Lessons can be paid at a pay-what-you-want rate depending on your situation and I am also open to an exchange in the style of a "time bank": a double bass lesson in exchange for a skill...to be imagined together!

If you know that little musician in you who might like this idea, spread the word 💛 See you soon and happy back-to-school season to everyone!
