Piano and music theory lessons to start or improve

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hello!

I offer piano lessons for all levels. As much for those who have never touched a piano in their life as for those who want to refine their technique or learn more about music theory.

I have been playing the piano for 18 years, I was a student at several conservatories in Switzerland as well as in Paris, I have just completed a Bachelor's degree in instrumentalist and I am now starting a Master's degree in pedagogy at HEMU in Fribourg.

I now wish to share my knowledge and my passion!

Musically,

About Me

To describe myself: I have passion, patience, discipline, and the desire to share!
I've been giving private lessons for several years, and each new student has required an adapted program and a different method. First of all, I need to know where the future student is, what he or she wants, how he or she approaches the piano, to know how I'm going to establish the study plan.
For beginners, I try above all to instill a love of music, through playing, singing and listening. This will become implied with the more advanced, but we'll concentrate on musicality, technique and music theory, depending on desire and ability.
Always listening to the student, the course will develop in parallel with his/her musical development.

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.
