Musical Awakening and Poetry Classes for Children

From 35 $ /h

What does musical awakening bring to a child? In the first place, listening. It is the base of everything. It's not about making him a great musician. It is through the joy and pleasure of music that he must first apprehend this art, even before the reading of the notes and the practice of the instrument. Rhymes, songs and poems open up entertaining and recreational horizons perfectly adapted to the natural joy of children. The musical awakening is a seed that sows in any wind in the fertile soil of childhood.

Extra information

Parent support recommended for young children (under 4 years old) / Group classes possible. Course duration: 45 minutes effective + 15 minutes of installation.

About Me

Born in Thonon-les-Bains, married, three children, I am a poet and musician, which allowed me to develop multiple skills in my professional life.

• After-school teacher, I give musical awakening lessons for children. I also participate in MJC, cribs and private (guitar, ukulele, musical bells and percussion).

• Passionate about languages, I offer French classes at home for foreign learners. With me, you can also discover a rare language whose disturbing resemblance to Russian will surprise you: Polish. So if you have a Polish girlfriend, family in Poland or the desire to travel to this country, come learn the language of Chopin, Corpernic and Marie Curie with me!

• I also like reading and reading. In a context where the omnipresence of screens keeps children away from the pleasure of reading, I offer them an hour of calm around a book of their choice.

• Singer-songwriter, I always have a guitar at hand. So, if you're mourning to see yours sleeping in the bottom of his bag, I propose a small handover for the greatest pleasure of your loved ones.

Education

There is no diploma of poet, as a business card, I propose reading a poem of my composition:

The fossil

Suddenly arose from the bottom of the ages
Figure engraved in granite
I discovered on the beach
A small Ammonite stone

There was, thrown pell-mell
In his esotheric spiral
The breadcrumb trail where intertwines
Old Homeric moons

A first shock in the universe
I live out of nothingness
Stars, Sun, planets, Earth!
And then vast oceans

It was at the dawn of a new day
At a time when volcanoes roar
There were great waters
Scattered monsters populated

A sky of fire, streaked with lightning
Like a cooking pot lid
And suddenly, flying in the air
A giant meteorite

And then finally, a shell
Who in a single burst of eyelash,
Brought me back from this trip
And of which I keep the fossil

Stéphane

EVERY CHILD CAN! Learning to play the guitar according to the Suzuki method is more than just music! We learn by the approach of the "Mother Tongue", playing and having fun. Children - from the age of 3 - develop, among other things, listening, memory, musical sense, concentration, discipline, respect. Collective workshops stimulate learning, and children learn to play together.
The "Suzuki Triangle", teacher, parent, student, reinforces the parental-child bond. Parents learn with their child and participate in lessons.
Music theory is included in the lessons, in a fun way.
Professor graduated from the Conservatoire with honors, graduated from the Suzuki method in Turin.
Also available for adult classes!

🎯 INTRODUCTION
(English version below ⬇️)
Learn violin with a professional concert violinist active on the international scene.
I was trained directly by Maxim Vengerov, one of the world's greatest violinists, and I regularly perform as a soloist in concerts and festivals across Europe.
👉 You don't just learn the technique —
You learn to play, think and sound like a true stage musician.
💎 WHY MY TEACHING IS DIFFERENT
Most violin teachers:
no longer perform on stage
focus solely on the exercises
My teaching is based on genuine concert experience:
develop a powerful and beautiful sound
play with confidence
prepare for concerts and exams
progress efficiently without wasting time
👉 I teach what actually works on stage — not just in the rehearsal room.
🧠 INJURY TECHNIQUE & PREVENTION
A crucial aspect of violin playing is often overlooked: posture and tension management.
Over time, poor technique can lead to:
unnecessary tensions
physical pain (neck, shoulders, back)
limitations in progression
👉 Many students only realize it when problems arise.
From the outset, I focus on:
a natural posture
freedom of movement
an efficient use of the body
This ensures healthy and sustainable progress.
🔧 ADVANCED CORRECTION & SUPPORT
I also work with:
✔ Students who have developed technical difficulties
✔ violinists suffering from tension or discomfort
✔ Musicians who feel “stuck” in their progression
👉 With the right approach, it is entirely possible to rebuild a free, natural and confident technique.
🌍 INTERNATIONAL COURSE
International concert violinist
Winner of international competitions
Experience of concerts across Europe
Working with top-level musicians and ensembles
🎯 TARGET AUDIENCE
✔ motivated beginners
✔ Children starting out on the violin
✔ adult amateurs
✔ Advanced students preparing for exams or concerts
👉 Each course is tailored individually.
💰 STOCK VALUES
You are not paying for a standard course.
You are investing in:
an international level training
a true stage experience
precise and effective teaching
👉 This level of teaching is usually found in top-level conservatories.
✨ FINAL MESSAGE
My goal is not just to teach you the violin —
but to help you develop confidence, freedom and true musical expression.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

My goal is to collaborate with the student, to move him where he wants to go. The courses can follow a general and academic course, but also follow a very precise course, for example for students who would like to specialize in a particular style of music.

Our teacher using, if necessary, an electro-acoustic guitar to better accompany your voice and guide some of its subtleties, the teaching philosophy is adapted to each level, according to the pace of work and motivation.

Program :
- musical techniques: theory (examples: support, modes, colors, effects such as vibrato, etc.) automatically followed, for each of the exercises, by practice (examples: exercises focusing on accuracy, sound production, "mountains Russian ", time, note hold, diction, vowels etc.)
- work on breathing and breathing management
- body awareness
- stability
- resonance
- improvisation / free expression
- improved vocal comfort
- varied repertoire (adapting to your preference)
- well-being by the vibration of the voice
- personal or artistic development - accuracy, note keeping and precision - vocal modes including timbre
- volumes: softness and power - sound colors: from dark to light - vocal effects, range requirements - nuances: volumes, mimics, attitudes, sound quality - exploration of musical styles (folk, pop, classical, blues, rock, song, World music ...)
- improvisation, effects and vocal games, harmonies
-interpretation: work on emotions, body language, stage presence.

Objective: acquire a solid vocal technique allowing you to sing with accuracy, ease and expressiveness.

Musical learning meanwhile, will develop your ability to listen and reproduce music, your sense of rhythm, your expressiveness, your creativity and musicality as well as reading sheet music.

The work is focused on multidisciplinarity: voice, vocal health, music and bodily expressiveness, with an emphasis on the acquisition of an optimal vocal placement, on stress management in public and on interpretation.

This progressive and tailor-made method aims to develop your voice:
-Breathing techniques
-Vocalises and technical exercises adapted to needs;
- Repertoire work
- Accompaniment for studio recording and scenic performance
-dynamic exploration, diversification and release of one's voice while having fun and going beyond one's limits.

As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers, available all year round.

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

I offer in-home music awakening sessions for young children in Geneva and the surrounding area.

The goal is not to give a lesson in the classical sense, but to open a first door to music: listening, singing, moving, feeling the rhythm, discovering sounds, playing with the voice, gestures, small percussion instruments and the keyboard.

Depending on the child's age, the sessions may include:

nursery rhymes and songs;
rhythm and pulse games;
listening and sound recognition games;
a gradual discovery of the piano;
of movement, musical gesture and coordination;
small ear exercises;
moments of imitation, invention and expression.

For toddlers, especially those between 1 and 3 years old, the approach is very gentle, sensory, and playful. It uses voice, body, sounds, images, play, and repetition. The goal is to create a lively, joyful musical experience adapted to the child's pace.

For slightly older children, around 3 to 6 years old, one can gradually move towards a first discovery of the keyboard: recognizing low and high notes, following a pulse, reproducing small patterns, singing while accompanying oneself, inventing short musical phrases, developing listening and concentration.

My approach is flexible and entirely personalized. Some children need a lot of movement, others need to observe, listen, repeat, or use their imagination. I adapt to their age, energy level, sensitivity, and pace.

I began my musical studies at the conservatory at the age of 7 and completed my training there up to the third cycle. I have been teaching piano and singing for several years, and I have also created children's shows and accompanied singers and dancers. My background allows me to approach music in a dynamic way, connecting rhythm, voice, body, listening, and emotion.

I can provide in-home services for a single child, siblings, or a small group of children, depending on availability. I can also offer occasional or regular sessions in various settings: early childhood centers, nurseries, daycare centers, associations, community centers, or music workshops.

The duration (and the price) will be assessed based on the child's age.

I am currently putting together my schedule for the start of the new term on August 17th, with regular slots available at home.

I travel to Geneva and surrounding areas: Geneva centre, Eaux-Vives, Champel, Plainpalais, Carouge, Lancy, Onex, Cologny, Chêne-Bougeries, Chêne-Bourg, Thônex, Grand-Saconnex, Nations, Petit-Saconnex, Meyrin, Vernier, Versoix.

Possible travel to Nyon, Coppet, Gland, Rolle and La Côte if several sessions are grouped on the same half-day.

Dear music lovers,

A pianist and composer with a degree from the Paris Conservatory (Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris), I have been teaching piano for over 10 years to students of all levels, from beginners to advanced musicians. I currently teach at the Conservatory.

I offer piano lessons as well as lessons in writing (harmony, counterpoint, fugue), composition and improvisation to anyone who wants to discover, learn or improve in these different practices!

In a few words, what I can offer you:

Music lessons at your own pace
Learning classical to contemporary music, current music
Improvisation alone or in pairs
Learning to read
solfège
Interpretation of works for 4 hands
Work on interpretation
Develop timbres to make the instrument sound in various ways
Learn to compose and develop musical ideas
Anatomical and postural explanations
Breathwork for acting and/or managing stage fright
Composition of pieces adapted to the student's level

Music is a precious art through which so many things, colors, and feelings can be expressed. It is thanks to music that I have learned to know myself more deeply, to find a discipline that has meaning. I have become certain that everyone can draw beautiful experiences from it.
My courses are built according to your needs and desires; for this, we will first clarify your objectives and the time you wish to devote to them in order to determine the level of requirement for our courses.

For kids :
Children are welcome from the age of 4. My approach is caring, playful, and ambitious. Over time, I have developed valuable experience with children from 4 to 18 years old. I have learned the art of engaging students in daily practice: the vast majority of my students can read the treble and bass clefs and sight-read music by the end of their first year. Beginners are therefore very welcome, and it is even possible to incorporate music theory into the piano lesson.

The classes take place in Chêne-Bougeries.

Guitar lessons adapted for children, beginners or those with prior experience of the instrument.

The lessons are personalized according to the age, level and tastes of each child, in a playful, progressive and caring approach.

We will work on the basics of guitar, chords, rhythm, melodies and songs, while developing musical listening skills and creativity. The repertoire may include pop, current hits, classical music or any other style the child enjoys.

No prior experience is necessary. The courses take place online and are adapted to each student's pace.

🎻 Want to discover the double bass? How about we do it together this year?
For young and old alike, let's get to know this great instrument!

As part of my Master's degree in pedagogy, I want to dedicate time to mentoring two people as they discover the double bass. Today, I want to use my experience to teach, while continuing to explore, play, and refine my teaching methods.

Currently I am a professional double bassist in a symphony orchestra since 2016, graduated with a Master's degree in performance from the HEM of Geneva in 2018, and have years of experience in the Alexander Technique.

Whether you're a child or an adult, a complete beginner or already a musician, the idea is to start with your desires and curiosity: discover this instrument, learn to play it, explore its sound, movement, and listening skills... and above all, enjoy making music. 🎶

I am deliberately limiting this offer to 2 people, so that I can really take the time to build the courses with each person and offer personalized support.

And what about the formula?
Lessons can be paid, but I am also open to an exchange in the style of a "time bank": a double bass lesson in exchange for a skill, a service, a helping hand...we can imagine it together!

If you know that little musician in you who might like this idea, spread the word 💛 See you soon and happy back-to-school season to everyone!
