The development of listening to the inner song is at the heart of my teaching.

For beginners: songs, games, improvisation, creation. The links with song and rhythm are very important to have a healthy foundation. The musical notions are approached gradually by experience then by recognition. Reading and writing are brought about by creation and musical composition.

For the more experienced, polyphony and difficult passages can be approached with different tools, by awareness of harmony and melodic modes and polyrhythm. Sometimes it is enough to be aware of simplicity to overcome difficult passages.

I push to go further in the quality of the interpretation with simple means to better understand the music and thus allow more expressiveness and freedom.

I also offer improvisation, harmony,
lessons in musical ensembles, especially vocal polyphony for children, and lessons for specific needs, for example just intonation for singers or other instruments.

I am a professional violinist with over 15 years in the industry. Graduated from Guildhall School of Music & Drama - this year rated the UK’s best music conservatoire and in the top 10 in the world. I will be teaching violin and everything related to it. Depending on your wishes, we will elaborate a strategy for your lessons in accordance with your goals.

Has your previous piano learning experience been a bit dull? Are you seeking a fresh approach to piano lessons? In my piano lessons, inspired by the Jacques-Dalcroze method, you'll enjoy a unique musical journey beyond just playing the piano and studying theory. You'll also be singing, improvising on the keyboard, and even moving to the music through dance. Learning piano should never be boring, and it certainly isn’t for me or my students. With me, you’ll discover the countless ways the piano can express music. You’ll explore compositions from various composers, periods, and styles, from the classical works of Mozart, Bach, Debussy, and Chopin, to modern pieces, pop songs, and jazz, including Shostakovich. Through eurhythmics exercises, you'll not only play but also feel the music by moving with it, enhancing your musical knowledge and deepening your emotional connection to sound. If you're unsure about moving with the music, don’t worry—I’ll be there to guide you in finding a way to enjoy and love music. I've played the piano since I was five years old and hold a Bachelor’s degree from the Geneva Music University. More recently, I completed my MA in Interdisciplinary Dance Performance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. While my teaching experience mainly focuses on children aged 5-10, I am also well-versed in providing music training and piano lessons for adults. Most lessons are 60 minutes long, but I’m happy to adapt the timing and content based on your needs. Please feel free to get in touch if you're interested in lessons. I look forward to sharing my passion for music with you!

I am offering private piano tutoring at beginner and intermediate level, for students of any age! My goal is to make you enjoy your playing and I can also help you work towards ABRSM grades if this is what you’re looking for.

I was a classical piano student at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester for 7 years and continued to study music for a year in Paris. I achieved a distinction at grade 8 ABRSM piano (the highest grade available), with 1 year of experience tutoring piano for a child who was 9 years old. However, I also have experience with tutoring in other fields (maths and physics).

Whether you are taking your very first steps at the keyboard, returning to the piano after years away, or looking to refine your technique, these tailored lessons are designed to help you thrive.

While my teaching is rooted in the rich traditions of classical music—focusing on healthy technique, expressive playing, understanding the language of music—every lesson is customized to the student's unique goals, pace, and interests. From Bach, Mozart, through Chopin to modern fundamentals, we will build a beautiful musical foundation together.

What We Will Focus On:

• Refining Technique & Articulation: Working on hand physiology, finger independence, and a relaxed posture to overcome technical hurdles and play with greater ease.

• Musical Interpretation: Moving beyond the notes on the page to explore phrasing, dynamics, and historical style, helping you bring true character to your repertoire.

• Analytical Reading & Efficiency: Deepening your understanding of scores and harmonic structure so you can practice more effectively and learn new pieces faster.

• Repertoire Expansion: Building a rewarding selection of music—focused on the rich classical tradition—tailored to your current level and musical aspirations.
