My methodology Thanks to my many teachers, I have developed a pedagogy based on control and ease, instrument and breath, which is very good for people with asthma or breathing problems. And thanks to my atypical and eclectic course I try to adapt myself better to the expectations of my students. The goal is to achieve a smooth and flexible precision, setting goals for all levels and for all styles: classical, jazz, variety, funk, carnival, free ... For beginners, I give introductory lessons to music through piano, guitar, small percussion and singing. I teach for over 10 years and I practice trombone in various orchestras and groups (symphonic, jazz, electro, reggae, ska, rock, funk, pop, French song, carnival, zouk, compass, biguine) My musical background After having started the classical trombone at the age of 8 at the conservatory of the center of Paris and at the conservatory Hector Berlioz (Xeme) with Jean Rafard as teacher, Philippe Defurne I studied jazz and improvisation at the Xeme conservatory with Pascal Gaubert and Daniel Casimir as well as with Glenn Ferris at the Master Class at the CRR in Paris. Obtaining the first prize of the CRR of Paris in the class of Jacques Mauger and the CFEM of Musical Training in the classes of JP Despax and M Labrousse. I also studied ancient music (saqueboute) with JJ Herbin and musical writing in the class of JM Bardez. All styles of music attract me, so I am trombonist and arranger for very eclectic bands ranging from rock, gypsy jazz through funk, carnival music or French song.
