You want to discover this magnificent instrument that is the trumpet without the constraints of a school; you seek to perfect your knowledge in the field of jazz or simply to apprehend the world of the improvisation; you miss a new eye on your basic technique ....
I propose a teaching mainly focused on your needs. For beginners, I pay particular attention to the fundamentals of the "blower" to avoid a thousand suffering.
I graduated from the jazz department of the Conservatoire de Lausanne (HEMU).

VIOLIN: My lessons cover several aspects necessary for good violin playing and free musical expression: healthy body posture, stable technique, attentive listening, musicality, personal development. It is from these notions that the quality of sound, intonation, bowing technique, technical skill, expression, and many others arise. I also give importance to well-being, self-confidence, or other abilities that the student would like to acquire.

TRANSVERSE FLUTE: My lessons cover several aspects necessary for good playing of the transverse flute and free musical expression: healthy body posture, stable technique, attentive listening, musicality, personal development. It is from these notions that the quality of sound, digital and respiratory technique, intonation, expression, and many others arise. I also give importance to well-being, self-confidence, or other abilities that the student would like to acquire.

SOLFÈGE: My courses cover several aspects necessary for the successful learning of music theory: strategies for recognizing intervals, chords and rhythms and their executions, singing, musical indications, exercises, attentive listening, musicality. These aspects are essential to instrumental practice, because they first allow you to correctly read a score, then analyze and interpret it.

A graduate of the Higher School of Music and currently pursuing a Master's degree in Performance, with extensive experience teaching in schools, conservatories, and private lessons, I offer piano lessons tailored to all ages and levels, from complete beginners to advanced musicians. My method is based on a structured progression, blending technique, musicality, and the joy of playing. I pay particular attention to posture, tone quality, rhythm, and listening skills, in order to build a solid foundation or refine an already advanced level.

Music is a passion that has been with me since childhood and has truly helped me find my path. It is this passion that I seek to share: the desire to progress, to understand the instrument, to push oneself, and to experience the simple joy of making the piano sing. I want each student to be able to progress at their own pace while discovering what truly resonates with them in music.
Lessons can be geared towards classical learning, exam preparation, building a personal repertoire, or simply the pleasure of playing for oneself. My goal is to combine high standards, enjoyment, and confidence, enabling each student to develop true musical independence.

By adapting to the level, I propose to approach the guitar through pieces chosen by the student which we will analyze by ear and work on together.

This teaching method aims to place the joy of playing at the heart of the process, allowing for a more engaging and accessible approach to theoretical concepts. Having trained at a conservatory and with 10 years of experience, I have explored a different teaching approach through playing in groups practicing free improvisation.
I was a student of Thibault Abrial (guitarist for Trust, Johnny Hallyday and Michel Berger) between 2017 and 2024, and I draw inspiration from his teaching methods.

Learning chords or theoretical knowledge (triads, scales, arpeggios) is done at the student's request.

The goal is to emphasize active listening, in order to understand how to play without reproducing a score: the use of tablature will be as an additional tool and not as a structuring principle of my approach.

For the past three years, I have been teaching cello in music schools and within musical associations in France. This experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of students: children who are beginners or already musicians, teenagers, adult beginners, as well as people wishing to take up the cello again after several years of interruption.

This diversity of students has convinced me of one thing: there is no single right way to learn music. That's why I adapt my teaching methods to each individual, taking into account their age, level, needs, personality, and above all, their goals.

For children: I aim to create an environment that is structured, fun, and motivating. Technical learning remains essential, but it must be accompanied by curiosity and enjoyment. I use a variety of exercises and tools, sometimes more innovative ones, to make musical concepts concrete and facilitate understanding. The goal is to allow the child to progress while gradually developing their autonomy and confidence.

For adults: Have you always wanted to learn the cello? Did you start when you were younger and want to pick it up again? It's never too late to rediscover the joy of playing. I adapt to each person's pace, without imposing any predefined goals. We can work on the basics, gradually review technique, explore a repertoire you love, or delve deeper into specific aspects according to your interests.
I can also integrate music theory concepts directly into instrumental work when it is useful.

Above all, I want to share my passion: beyond technique, what motivates me in teaching is the act of passing on knowledge. I love seeing a student overcome a difficulty, understand something new, and above all, gain confidence in their playing.
My goal is for each lesson to allow students to progress, discover and enjoy making music.

I am currently pursuing my advanced cello studies at the Haute École de Musique (HEMU) in Lausanne, while continuing to develop my teaching experience.

Whether you are a beginner, wish to take up the cello again or are looking to improve your skills, I will be happy to build with you a tailor-made teaching program that truly corresponds to your musical project.
