After 6 years of studying piano, jazz piano and pedagogy in the Netherlands, I am back in France. I was the top piano teacher in the French community of Amsterdam for 3 years with 30 students per week.

My lessons are geared towards this, regardless of the repertoire. I am open to student suggestions and creative profiles, and I am able to guide students and introduce them to musical works, as well as improvisation and composition techniques, all in a fun and supportive atmosphere!

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

🎵 Gradual and supportive work
🎵 Reading, rhythm, coordination, basic technique
🎵 Classical, modern or popular repertoire, according to your tastes
🎵 Clear method + concrete objectives (and small exercises between lessons if desired)

The courses are adapted to the pace, desires and objectives of each individual, with a serious but warm teaching approach.

I am a final-year classical music student at the conservatory and have been playing piano for 13 years. Being a lifelong learner allows me to better understand the challenges faced by beginners. I will be able to guide you through the process.

My primary goal is to spark a love for this instrument in my students. I listen to your desires and preferences, and we explore them together to find what you enjoy, progressing from piece to piece.

I particularly enjoy working on my ear, which allows me to detach myself from the sometimes aridity of the score and to open myself up to other musical styles.

In addition to this, I incorporate important technical exercises that help build confidence in touch (scales, Hanon, Czerny...).

Then I introduce music theory (according to each person's wishes) in order to become comfortable with sight-reading and independent with sheet music (JM Allerme)

I am addressing this course to adult beginners, in their first years of practice, up to young children just starting out on the piano.

You play the piano but something prevents you from being completely free?
Tensioned shoulders, strained forearms, painful wrists, rapid fatigue, passages that get stuck despite hours of work... Or simply that feeling of having to force yourself to play.
That's precisely where my work begins.
I offer you personalized work to understand what, in your way of playing, creates tension, fatigue or blockages and to gradually regain a more natural, freer and more efficient movement.
As a student of Monique Deschaussées, I was deeply influenced by her approach to the body at the piano: posture, breathing, use of weight, support, freedom of movement and search for natural movement.
This approach informs my own work as a concert pianist: I give more than 150 concerts a year, mainly recitals, in extremely varied repertoires. Physical freedom is therefore not a theoretical concept for me: it is at the heart of my daily performance practice.
Depending on your needs, we can work:
— tensions, friction and blockages in the game
— posture, support, weight and freedom of movement
— technically difficult passages
— sound and touch
— piano technique
— musical interpretation and construction
— working methods and autonomy
— memorization and stage preparation
We work from your playing style, your body, and your repertoire. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all method.
Classical, pop, rock, film music: my repertoire is particularly vast and I insist that the technique always remains at the service of the music you wish to hear.
You tell me about your background, the difficulty you are facing, and what you want to change. Together, we determine if my approach meets your needs and what form of work would be most appropriate.
If your issue is suitable, I can also offer you more in-depth, personalized support.
Because playing the piano shouldn't be a struggle against your own body.

When you're starting out, your shoulders rise, your wrists stiffen, you hold your breath without realizing it. And there's this frustrating disconnect between what you hear in your head and what comes out of your hands.

My courses start from there.
I provide you with a solid framework to progress effectively, without ever extinguishing what makes a beginner so rich: curiosity, instinct, desire.

· The body first.
Even before putting your fingers on the keyboard, you work on posture, relaxation, breathing, and the correct movement.
A free body means free play.

· The ear next.
Learning to listen to oneself, to search for "the notes that love each other," as attributed to Mozart, and to find one's way on the keyboard by sound.
Listening precedes the concept, sound precedes the lesson.

· The expression, finally.
To make the piano a space of one's own, where one explores and returns with desire.

Specifically, we work on:

• The pieces you like: classical, film scores, pop;
• Ear training and keyboard awareness, to play without depending on the score;
• Improvisation and, for those who wish, composition.

If you are already learning with sheet music, we will continue in that direction.
And if you would like to learn to read, I can help you with that.

The first session is for getting to know each other.
You tell me what makes you want to play, I discover your level and your way of learning, and you leave with a first concrete objective.

I support children, adults who have always dreamed of getting into it, and those who stopped one day and want to start again in a different way.

You play the piano but something prevents you from being completely free?
Tensioned shoulders, strained forearms, painful wrists, rapid fatigue, passages that get stuck despite hours of work... Or simply that feeling of having to force yourself to play.
That's precisely where my work begins.
I offer you personalized work to understand what, in your way of playing, creates tension, fatigue or blockages and to gradually regain a more natural, freer and more efficient movement.
As a student of Monique Deschaussées, I was deeply influenced by her approach to the body at the piano: posture, breathing, use of weight, support, freedom of movement and search for natural movement.
This approach informs my own work as a concert pianist: I give more than 150 concerts a year, mainly recitals, in extremely varied repertoires. Physical freedom is therefore not a theoretical concept for me: it is at the heart of my daily performance practice.
Depending on your needs, we can work:
— tensions, friction and blockages in the game
— posture, support, weight and freedom of movement
— technically difficult passages
— sound and touch
— piano technique
— musical interpretation and construction
— working methods and autonomy
— memorization and stage preparation
We work from your playing style, your body, and your repertoire. I don't offer a one-size-fits-all method.
Classical, pop, rock, film music: my repertoire is particularly vast and I insist that the technique always remains at the service of the music you wish to hear.
You tell me about your background, the difficulty you are facing, and what you want to change. Together, we determine if my approach meets your needs and what form of work would be most appropriate.
If your issue is suitable, I can also offer you more in-depth, personalized support.
Because playing the piano shouldn't be a struggle against your own body.

When you're starting out, your shoulders rise, your wrists stiffen, you hold your breath without realizing it. And there's this frustrating disconnect between what you hear in your head and what comes out of your hands.

My courses start from there.
I provide you with a solid framework to progress effectively, without ever extinguishing what makes a beginner so rich: curiosity, instinct, desire.

· The body first.
Even before putting your fingers on the keyboard, you work on posture, relaxation, breathing, and the correct movement.
A free body means free play.

· The ear next.
Learning to listen to oneself, to search for "the notes that love each other," as attributed to Mozart, and to find one's way on the keyboard by sound.
Listening precedes the concept, sound precedes the lesson.

· The expression, finally.
To make the piano a space of one's own, where one explores and returns with desire.

Specifically, we work on:

• The pieces you like: classical, film scores, pop;
• Ear training and keyboard awareness, to play without depending on the score;
• Improvisation and, for those who wish, composition.

If you are already learning with sheet music, we will continue in that direction.
And if you would like to learn to read, I can help you with that.

The first session is for getting to know each other.
You tell me what makes you want to play, I discover your level and your way of learning, and you leave with a first concrete objective.

I support children, adults who have always dreamed of getting into it, and those who stopped one day and want to start again in a different way.
