I graduated with a Master in Jazz performance and composition and a Master in Jazz instrumental pedagogy at the HEMU in Lausanne. I have gained teaching experience since 2013 through private lessons as well as lessons in two music schools. I am a musician in different groups (Traditional Jazz, Jazz-fusion, Modern Jazz (my sextet)) in France and Switzerland. I also trained in classical orchestration for two years.

My lessons are aimed at beginners as well as more advanced, of all ages.

We will be able to approach the technical notions of the instrument in order to better master it but also improvisation, musical theory, composition, rhythm.
I try to base my pedagogy on the musical tastes of the students while making them discover, by listening or playing, other musical currents.
I play clarinet, bass clarinet and saxophone and I can accompany you on the piano depending on the pieces.

Please note, however, that I cannot lend you an instrument.

The course can take place at my home or in my office.
I can travel to your home but a travel allowance will be required.

I can also teach in English and I'm used to it.
Extra information
I do not lend an instrument, I can accompany you to the piano according to the pieces.

About Me
Holder of a Jazz DEM (France) and a Master in Jazz interpretation and composition, I already have practice in teaching. I'm currently starting a second Master, in instrumental pedagogy, in the same school. I worked for two years in two music schools before settling in Lausanne and I also gave private clarinet lessons.

My goal is to keep the student passionated by the instrument and the music in general, I'm trying to find a studying support based on the musical tastes of the students as well as bringing him/her to discover other musical genres, other ways to apprehend music.

I can't lend any instrument.

The clarinet is a fascinating instrument. Its woody timbre, its tessitura close to the voice offers a wide range of musical directions. Whether you want to play classical, jazz, song or world music, we will progress together to connect the song and the instrument. To develop the breath, to consolidate its supports, to feel the rhythm and to shine the melodies, that is the objective!

I adapt my method according to each student but here are the central points of my educational work:

- Warm up: stretching and breathing

- Sound work: beak, held notes, harmonics *

- Technique: ranges, transpositions *

- Repertoire: Piece being learned, reading *, improvisation.

* confirmed students

SINGING

I attach particular importance to the link between song and instrument. Singing the songs and even the scales improves the musicality, the phrasing, the accuracy to the instrument.

MEMORY

As much as possible, I ask to memorize the pieces. Knowing how to sing a song before playing it is for me the best way to integrate it.

- Work on the metronome

I can work on a method or with my own lesson sheets.

The goal of my lessons is above all to discover, learn or advance, without stress or fuss!

The 5 string banjo is an amazing instrument. It's driving trademark sound and it's African roots has contributed to many music traditions, including Country, Bluegrass, Blues, Jazz and world music.

In my class you'll first learn the basics, how to hold and pick and read tablatures. We'll then go through how to play a tune, accompany other instruments and finally, improvise. During the year I'll teach you basic music theory like rhythm, harmony and a bit of ear training to help you develop your understanding and relationship to the instrument.

We'll mainly play Bluegrass Scruggs style at first, then we'll dive into melodic style and sigle string, that will all be useful for playing other kinds of music, like Irish music, Pop, Jazz or Blues. Any requests for a personalised class is welcome. If you'd like inspiration or you want to listen to so fun music, go check out my website !

Student at the Lausanne music school, I offer saxophone lessons.

My experience playing in very varied ensembles and styles (chamber music, metal groups, rock, funk, Cuban, gospel, tango, orchestras, big jazz band, etc.) and with various musical instruments has allowed me to allowed us to develop a versatile musical approach.

I followed a classical conservatory course in guitar and saxophone, then a jazz saxophone course.

I am currently studying Bass Jazz, double bass and piano, while continuing my activities as a saxophonist.

At the same time, I worked as a teacher and researcher in acoustics in different universities.

During my lessons, I guide the student through a progressive and structured educational approach while guiding him or her in learning pieces that correspond to their objectives. I offer a lot of duets to raise awareness about playing together. Finally, I try to transmit a musical sensitivity that will allow the student to flourish in various musical contexts.

I offer personalized lessons for children and adults. I'm open to your suggestions for pieces, your preferences, and the styles that suit you best! (Classical music, jazz, film music, pop, rock, etc.)
Convinced of the importance of theoretical foundations (particularly music theory and harmony), it is possible to integrate them into the courses so that students develop with solid foundations. This then allows us to understand music in its entirety, around a rich and varied repertoire.
Having also studied improvised music at the Paris Conservatory and being a musician in several groups, I would be happy to be able to share my experience around musical creation as well as in the development of improvisation.
Anyone interested in the instrument and who would like to develop their keyboard skills is welcome, regardless of age.
Looking forward to seeing you again and see you soon!


A little more about my background:

A graduate of the Paris Conservatory, I had the chance to work alongside many exciting pianists and teachers, such as Denis Pascal, Pascal Amoyel, Rena Shereshevskaya and in improvised music Paul Lay and Emil Spányi, who were able, throughout my career, to bring me into musical research and maintain this taste for the instrument.

Being attracted by musical creation, as well as composition, I was also able to study harmony, arrangement, music theory and composition at the Rueil-Malmaison conservatory in the Paris region.

Alongside my musical projects as a classical and jazz pianist and musical composition, I devote myself to my passion for educational transmission.
