About Me

As a passionate jazz singer, I have developed my technique and musical sensitivity through a rich academic background and extensive stage experience.

I began my musical journey at the age of 12 and fell in love with jazz when I was 15. Listening attentively and consistently to the genre naturally led me to study music theory during high school. I went on to formalize my training with a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Vocal Performance at the prestigious Civici Corsi di Jazz Claudio Abbado in Milan, followed by a Master’s Degree in Jazz Vocal Performance at the Saint Louis College of Music in Rome.

To continuously expand my skills, I have also taken part in world-renowned summer masterclasses: the Umbria Jazz Clinics with the Berklee College of Music in Perugia, as well as the Siena Jazz Summer Masterclasses.

For me, studying jazz was a revelation. Beyond a deep love for the genre, it provided me with the tools to blend different musical influences and integrate the jazz language into my own creative projects. It is this artistic freedom and open-mindedness that I aim to pass on.

Having been active on the Italian jazz scene (Milan and Rome), performing regularly in concerts, personal projects, and jam sessions, I am now based in Paris and actively engaging with the local jazz scene.

As a teacher, I am attentive, supportive, and encouraging. My goal is to help every student—whether curious beginners, singers looking to cross genres, or aspiring candidates preparing for conservatory admissions—find their own artistic identity, train their ear, and genuinely enjoy singing.

I have over 10 years of teaching experience, both privately and in schools, catering to students of all ages, from children to adults. As a friendly and enthusiastic instructor, my goal is to ensure that every student finds joy in creating music and can work towards their personal goals—whether it's for the sheer enjoyment of music-making or to prepare for music exams.

I'm also proficient in teaching music theory, which not only enhances musicianship but is also essential for students aspiring to reach higher levels in their musical journey.

I hold a Bachelor of Music and a Master's degree from two prestigious London music institutions: the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music. Since then, I've been actively performing as a soloist and collaborating with various orchestras and ensembles worldwide.

I profile each of my lessons according to the desires and musical objectives of the student. People of all levels, from novice to initiated are welcome!

For beginners: solid learning of the basics of the instrument (mouthpiece, sound, posture, technique, etc.) to be able to quickly play the first musical tunes. Learning music theory (reading and understanding the score) will be done in parallel.
For amateurs: work on technique, expression, reading and discovery of the repertoire in order to progress and achieve your goals.

Direct heir to the teaching of Marcel Mule, the 'Father' of the French saxophone, I would be delighted to share my method and my experience with you.

Do not hesitate to contact me so that we can discuss your projects and expectations.

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 goal as a teacher is for students to develop artistic autonomy through the development of technique, music theory, confidence, and ear training. 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!

Hello,

I like to transmit and exchange with my students.
Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me.

My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice.
I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory").
I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method.

All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

I am a young Italian professional cellist with 23 years of study and professional experience. I have been living in Paris for four and a half years. I earned a Bachelor's degree from the Turin Conservatory, then specialized in Baroque music in Paris, completing advanced studies at the Paris Conservatory, a Master's degree from the Versailles Conservatory, and a second Master's degree in Classical and Romantic music from the Saintes Conservatory (Abbaye aux Dames). I work with several renowned European early music ensembles such as Le Concert Spirituel, Accademia Bizantina, Les Ombres, and La Chimera. I was a semi-finalist in the prestigious MA Competition 2021 in Bruges. I also play modern music, and with my solo cello and electronic music project, I have had the opportunity to participate in major Italian festivals. In France, I regularly work with the French chanson trio Melquiades.

I offer cello lessons for all levels and all styles (classical cello, baroque cello and modern cello), with the possibility of following the lessons at home, by webcam or at home, in French, Italian and English.

The method that I adopted in my studies and that I teach is Suzuki: working on the student, nourishing his environment with stimuli and simultaneously developing his artistic and technical maturity, his morality and his character.
I also believe in group work, the possibility of playing with friends or colleagues, so I often suggest creating small ensembles to share and learn good music with others.

Playing the trumpet shouldn't be complicated! with a good technique routine and the right way it's not complicated enough either!
I like to work a lot on breathing which I consider to be a main element and on technical ease.
Works on flexibility, dexterity, and expansion of the range.

Electronic music, perhaps with its interdisciplinary nature, is a vast field to get into, a world of creativity and art, science and technology, and philosophy and thoughts. The course of electroacoustic composition (in other words computer-assisted composition) follows the interdisciplinary fundamentals of the topic. During these courses, we will speak and work on electronic music aesthetics and musical discourses, form and structure, and indeed the utils of using software such as Ableton, Max, Supercollider, VCV RACK, reaper et cetera, to be able to materialize the musical idea with electronic tools.
Students can create and compose electronic music, sound designs, multimedia art (music and ... ), installations and performances, etc during and after the courses.

We work there either on an instrument (the violin or the viola), or on musical training.
We can build on your current level or start a new learning journey together.
It is also possible to reinforce theoretical concepts, for example through occasional support courses.

Having graduated from the Mozart Conservatory of Paris in flute and holding a certificate of musical training from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris, I have been playing the flute for almost 15 years.

I offer private flute and music theory lessons for beginners, primarily aimed at younger students. My passion for music is to share it with you and allow everyone to progress at their own pace :)

Flute lessons:
Depending on the student's needs, the course may begin with learning how to use the instrument, particularly through breathing and technique exercises.
The student will then be able to start playing selected pieces together, while continuing to learn the technique (scales, rhythm exercises...).
Concepts of music theory and reading sheet music can also be integrated directly into flute lessons.

For music theory lessons:
We will work in particular on reading notes, rhythm, reading scores and the main concepts of music theory, always in a progressive and accessible way.
For beginner students, it is possible to integrate 15 minutes of solfège before the flute lesson, so that the concepts are mastered and create a link with the practice of the instrument.

I can't wait to start introducing you to the world of music!
