About Me
A Canadian harpist passionate about what I do. I started the harp at 9 years old with a wonderful teacher who, by coincidence, was in the lineage of a world-renowned harpist woul would become my harp teacher much later.

During my time at university, I had the chance to play with many orchestras and varied ensembles. What encompasses my many years is the passion to make the connection with someone by doing or teaching music. Music transcends all barriers.

After graduating from my Master's, I've had many opportunities to teach harp during the past 11 years to all ages and levels, and I have discovered many important and very real things about pedagogy.

I aspire to make this connection with all my students, so that they may feel the same joy of learning that I had.

Starting an instrument, getting back into it, deepening your practice or preparing for a competition...
Each student has their own unique background, their own sensibilities, and their own goals. My teaching adapts to all profiles, with rigor and kindness, in a relationship of trust and shared curiosity.

These classes are aimed at both children and adults, beginners and advanced students, amateurs and musicians in pre-professional or higher education programs. I also support people with disabilities: each learning experience is unique and deserves to be built from who you are.

🌿 What I propose:
- Work possible by ear or from the score, according to your preferences
- Varied repertoires: classical, contemporary, traditional music, accompaniment, creation...
- Work on gesture, sound, listening and posture
- A teaching method tailored to your operation: no single method, but a tailor-made approach

✨ For what purpose?
- Discover the harp, whatever your age
- Resume or deepen your practice
- Prepare for an audition, a competition, an exam
- Explore a new repertoire or develop a personal project
- Work at your own pace, flexibly, without unnecessary pressure

🎓 About me
A graduate of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris, I was trained by numerous professors in very diverse contexts, which allowed me to develop an open and adaptable approach.
As a performer, I have played in major orchestras under the direction of renowned conductors, and participated in a wide variety of chamber music and contemporary creation projects.
I have been teaching private lessons, workshops, conservatories and masterclasses for several years, with a wide variety of students: from curious beginners to musicians preparing for a prestigious competition.
