Methodology
The courses I offer are aimed at anyone who meets one condition: envy! Whether it concerns a child, a teenager or an adult, nothing can prevent the learning of music. The course always adapts to the wishes and desires of the student, his particularities and his abilities, regardless of age.
I am in favor of a practical pedagogy where the first thing we touch is the instrument, contrary to what is generally found in academy courses where a year of music theory is a prerequisite for learning the piano. Here, the practice of the instrument, the theoretical notions, the notes, the rhythms and the musical culture overlap together to form a whole that wants to be coherent.
I am also very interested in music by ear and I propose to the students to approach songs, also without partitions, just by listening and reproducing the sounds heard. Over the years, I have worked a lot with the students to bring a method related to play to the ear. This completes the classical training by being more independent and being able to arrange yourself the music that you like and that you want to be able to play.
Students decide for themselves what training they want from the start. Playing by ear is generally more affordable and attractive. Classical training is the most demanding but it makes it possible to approach a very broad repertoire. This requires learning to read a score and discover the notions of music that we approach in a fun way, using board games, card games to facilitate and accelerate assimilation. The combination of the different techniques is my favorite since the program offered is more complete and more varied.
Regardless, all requests are considered and together we build a course that will allow you to achieve your goals!
Update: For the past year, I have been offering distance learning courses to my students, being abroad at the moment. In this period of epidemic, this solution is good and allows to learn music, while staying at home. The material required is not very important, a computer, a tablet or a webcam is more than enough.

I have lived with this passion for music and its power for 22 years. I completed this musical passion by sharing and transmitting that I offer and this, for 10 years. Pedagogy, the art of communicating knowledge, how to respond to a desire to learn, these are activities that I find as fascinating as the practice of music itself. I went to live in Quebec and New Zealand and with these trips, I developed with my students this possibility of accompanying them in their learning, even while being at a distance. I am developing this online training project and for the moment, the lessons are given live, like a normal course, with certain modifications.
In parallel, with my wife, illustrator by training, we develop board games and educational games to learn music. This project has profoundly changed the way of teaching and we are constantly looking for new simpler, more fun ways to practice and assimilate knowledge of music.
