About Me
Olivier joined the Versailles Regional Conservatory at the age of 6 in Saskia Lethiec's class. After studying in a flexible schedule with double studies and obtaining his Baccalaureate at the age of 15, he received his Prize with Jury's congratulations in Xavier Guilloteau's class.

He learned composition on his own and created his first symphony in 2013 at the International Academy of Flaine, where his teachers included Florin Szigeti and Constantin Bogdanas.
His project Headway with his old friend Louis Boniface, for which he is the composer, earned him an award at the Icares du Cinéma in the short film category.
He also began to delve into jazz with Serge Forte and Philippe Baden-Powell as his tutors on jazz piano.
As a member of the Paris East Philharmonic Orchestra, he has undertaken various orchestral tours in Europe with the Greater Peace String Orchestra and the Timbres Orchestra.
He also often does covers in all styles and often performs solo or as a duo.

Music school teacher, former student at the National School of Music, ten years of experience teaching the violin, I offer home lessons in Lyon and the surrounding area.
Dynamic, pedagogue and attentive to the difficulties of the students, I promote quick access to the pleasure of the game, as well as the autonomy of a playful and effective progression outside of class. Specialized in music from the East and gypsy jazz, we can approach this repertoire as well as the classic.
Possibility of courses in music theory and musical culture. Children, teenagers, adults; beginner, intermediate or confirmed levels accepted.
Feel free to contact me for more information.

I like to transmit music to adults and children who have never practiced or wanting to get back to the piano.
Adaptation of works according to the tastes and level of each.

With my courses you will know in a few weeks / months:
- Read a score (learning notes and rhythm gradually)
- Play songs (to immediately put the theory into practice)
- Recognize all the chords (and know how to have fun without a score too!)
- Understand musical language (to learn faster and retain longer)
- Interpret a work
- Improvise (you'll see it's very easy when you understand the music!)
* Music theory is learned as the pieces are deciphered to leave plenty of room for practice.

This is how a regular course works:
- 10 minutes of music theory (it's necessary but don't worry, I'll make it interesting for you)
- 10 minutes of technique (just to show off in front of the family and / or friends / girlfriends)
- 40 minutes of practice of a piece (because it is the best way to learn while having fun).

In any case, you will benefit with me from a framework to really advance on the piano and measure your progress, as well as a benevolence and encouragement to keep your motivation intact!

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

My classes are open to all levels. Whatever your experience, I will be able to adapt to your needs.

For all ages, all styles, all levels, play the piano with pleasure and at your own pace. It is possible to play classical, neo-classical, pop, rock, swing, or any other style desired.
For beginners, teaching the fundamentals of music theory is possible, in a fun way, with the aim of being able to read the chosen score.
My methodology is the same as the one I use in my work: listening, support, sharing, communication, kindness, adaptability.
What matters most is the desire and the pleasure of making music.

About me:
Passionate about music, piano and singing, I have been playing the piano since I was 6 years old. A former student of the Lyon Conservatory and musicology, I still practice music daily, particularly in duos or trios with two guitarists, and also in a group singing collectively.
During my early years, I taught children and adults, both beginners and intermediate. From this came the desire to transmit, to share, to listen to the desires and needs of each apprentice pianist.
For several months now, I have taken up this vocation again, at home with my own upright piano, as well as at the students' homes.

My work as a fashion stylist has also allowed me to support around a hundred interns, freelancers or employees, aged 13 to 30 and to strengthen my adaptability and inclusive communication. A teaching training in London to consolidate this knowledge.

These courses are suitable for all ages and levels.
At your own pace and by listening, you will learn music that is dear to your heart, and cultivate the pleasure of music.
A violinist for 20 years, I received classical music training at a conservatory. I experiment with different violin styles (baroque, oriental, Balkan, folk, South American, popular, film music...).
I would be delighted to support you with attentive listening and kindness in your musical practice.

I am a student at the Lyon Regional Conservatory and have already completed my studies at the Bratislava Conservatory (Slovakia). I studied sacred music, so I studied organ, conducting, singing, Gregorian chant, improvisation and musical training in general, etc.
I offer lessons in piano, organ, theory, Gregorian chant or elementary improvisation.
My French isn't ideal, so I prefer to use English, but we can agree.
I can't wait to spend time together!

Hello! 🎹

I offer private piano lessons in contemporary, jazz, and pop music styles. A graduate of the DEM Jazz program at the Lyon Conservatory, I taught piano in music schools for seven years. I also have classical piano training at the conservatory, having started playing the piano at the age of five.

I offer a course tailored to the student's tastes and level, but I'm mainly looking for students who already know how to play the piano a little. I don't necessarily practice music theory, or I incorporate it into the practice if necessary.

Don't hesitate if you have any questions ☺️
Hope to meet you,
See you soon !

Having earned a Vocational Diploma in Music Professions, I now express my love for music through teaching.

I propose, with the help of suitable course materials, to help you progress in playing the instrument, so that you can play your favorite songs.

I primarily work in Lyon 1, Lyon 4, but also in Lyon 6, Lyon 9, part of Lyon 5 and Lyon 3.

I invite you to get in touch with me so that we can arrange a first lesson.

Have a good day,

Thierry

My teaching method is very hands-on, focused on the joy of playing the piano. I adapt completely to each student I have in front of me. Most people simply want to have fun because music is first and foremost a game, which is why the most important thing for me is to listen to students and understand what they truly want to achieve. I offer valuable advice to make playing the piano more enjoyable and to foster maximum independence, particularly with regard to pop/variety music (keys to understanding harmony, tips and tricks to easily improve performance, etc.).
