Trained at the conservatory, I offer piano lessons for beginners and intermediate students, with an approach that is both educational and fun. My goal is to help each student learn to play the piano from a score, while integrating music theory lessons throughout the lessons.

Each class is designed to be enjoyable and motivating, especially for children: I ensure that music remains a pleasure, adapting the pieces to the tastes and level of the student. Through progressive exercises and gentle learning, I give them confidence on the keyboard while developing their musical ear and their independence.

Extra information
I usually travel to the student's home. If the student doesn't have a piano, I can give lessons at my home or in a music room on the EPFL campus.

Program

First of all, the discovery of the instrument and its multiple possibilities of sound and musical expression, through the repertoire and improvisation. Next comes the development of the pupil's musicality and the acquisition of the instrumental bases, which will, in a later phase, be deepened to finally develop the pupil's autonomy and personality.

Objectives and skills

Adaptation of the body to the instrument - development of a natural position on the piano
Coordination of gestures, position and independence of the hands.
Listening development - learning to listen to your own play and that of others
Development of the sense of rhythm - simple rhythm on a pulsation at the beginning, towards a refinement of precision
Phrase and musical breathing
Play in public
Musical expression, improvisation
Sight reading (music theory)

Regarding this last point, it is important to specify that with Apolline, music theory is integrated into the instrument lesson, sparingly and in a manner consistent with the subject studied by the child. Thus, theory sticks to practice and becomes digestible and interesting.

Learning music with Apolline

How to leave the usually rigid framework of the first years of musical learning that is found in most schools in Switzerland?

Based in Lausanne, Apolline has a different philosophy. Rather than offering children and adolescents to learn in individual lessons, lessons in small groups - from 2 to 3 students, depending on the instrument - are highlighted. Working in a group offers many advantages to beginners or inexperienced students.

Apolline offers her students the possibility of joining a group workshop, in addition to the basic instrument course, so that they can play with other musicians of their age. Accompanied by a teacher, they will learn to play in groups, through covers or their own compositions.

Hello everyone!

My name is Francesco, and I am a classical guitar teacher with over 20 years of experience in guitar education. My lessons are personalized and tailored to all levels, from beginners to advanced players, with a special focus on classical guitar technique and performance. I offer a customized approach based on your specific musical needs and goals, whether you want to master the classical repertoire, improve your technique, or explore the beauty of ensemble music. My teaching integrates both traditional methods and modern concepts, with a strong emphasis on musical expression and interpretation.

With over 20 years of teaching experience, a Master's in Performance, a Master's in Pedagogy, and a Doctorate in Musicology, I offer structured yet flexible lessons in French, English, Italian, and German. Each lesson is designed to support your unique musical journey, with a focus on refining your technical skills, deepening your understanding of music theory, and enhancing your performance abilities.

The lessons include warm-ups, repertoire study, and personalized guidance on technique, interpretation, and musicality. I also encourage collaboration and ensemble music, as I believe group music-making is essential for the development of any musician. Whether you’re preparing for a performance or simply enjoying playing music, my goal is to guide you with patience, enthusiasm, and professionalism.

I offer a free 45-minute first lesson to get to know each other and discuss your musical goals. Feel free to book a trial session to see if my lessons match your learning style and expectations!

See you soon!

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.
