Cello lessons for all levels and ages in Geneva and surrounding areas

From 73.72 € /h

If you still want to learn the cello for its rich and warm tones, or if on the contrary you already have a few years of practice but would like to improve, I would be delighted to bring you my knowledge and experience.

During my classes, I also offer to approach music in a broader palette. I can also teach you music theory and the history of music.

The cello being a versatile instrument, I am keen to help you discover the range of techniques, styles and eras of this instrument, which is not restricted to classical music!

About Me

My name is Eléonore, I am 23 years old and I am currently a cello student at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, in the first year of a Master's in Pedagogy, in David Pia's class.
Originally from Fribourg, I can teach between Geneva and Fribourg.

I already have experience as a cello teacher, as I have been teaching privately for several years and have been replacing at the Fribourg Conservatory in 2023-2024.

In 2024, I participated in an educational and musical trip to Mexico during which I had the opportunity to give masterclasses and lessons.

I am interested in all kinds of musical training and styles of music. Chamber music is an area that I am particularly fond of.
I also played for several years in the Fribourg Youth Orchestra, and I had the chance to participate in Masterclasses with renowned musicians such as Ophélie Gaillard, Raphaël Weinroth-Browne and the Sine Nomine Quartet.
In other areas, I am a cellist in the band of Zoë Më, a pop singer from Fribourg. Singing also has a big place in my life, and I also play the piano.

Hope to meet you !

Hi!

I am an accomplished classical pianist and experienced teacher who offers you piano lessons, at all levels from beginner to advanced, for fun or for serious ones (preparation for competitions, auditions, exams, etc.).

I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Montreal (Canada) and am also pursuing a second Master's degree at the HEM in Geneva. I also have another Master's degree from the first institution as well as a diploma in performance. My doctoral research focuses on the neuropsychology of music learning and its applications in performance.

I had the pleasure of playing with orchestras and as a soloist at festivals in Canada, Germany, Austria, Spain and Switzerland, as well as being the winner of several competitions and the recipient of numerous awards.

I have more than 15 years of experience as an interpreter and pedagogue (even at university level as a lecturer). I am very dedicated to my students and I offer you dynamic, personalized courses to meet the particular needs of each person.

Courses are available in Geneva, Lausanne, Gland, Nyon, Rolle, Coppet and other nearby cities.

Lessons are also available in English.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

See you soon, I hope!

My goal is to approach music with body awareness and listening work. Establishing a link with the student to better adapt the approach and content to their needs is important.
The body, rhythm and improvisation are at the heart of my pedagogy, having myself been trained at the Jacques Dalcroze Institute.

I like to base my lessons on active student participation by trying to find out what the student has understood to find which approach suits each person best. This is why it is important that the student sometimes practices exercises that I give him.

Discover the saxophone with a personalized, creative approach adapted to all profiles.

The classes I offer are aimed at anyone wishing to learn or deepen their saxophone playing, regardless of age or skill level. Through student-centered teaching, I create a customized learning path that respects each individual's pace, desires, and goals.

Types of courses offered:

Individual lessons from age 6 (30, 45 or 60 minutes)
Duo course (2 people of the same level)
Family classes (parents and children learning together)
Courses for adults, beginners or advanced
Courses for retirees or elderly people
Courses accessible to people with disabilities

Musical styles explored:

From classical to jazz, blues, pop, film music, world music, or improvisation—each student has the freedom to discover what they truly enjoy.

My approach places equal importance on technique and musicality. I encourage each student to develop their own artistic voice while acquiring a solid foundation. For younger students, I create a fun and structured environment, working with parents, to make learning both effective and enjoyable.

Courses available in person in Geneva, Nyon, Lausanne and Montreux, or online.
Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your wishes and arrange an initial lesson.

For violin lessons:
- From beginner to intermediate
- Better to do the course by person and not by Meet
- The purpose of this course is to introduce the child to the instrument by teaching him the historical bases (the time of appearance, violin making, strings, notes, etc.) to the child and to show him the beauty of the violin. Then little by little we go

For music theory lessons:
- From beginner to intermediate
- In this course both are possible, so either by Meet (or other application) or in person
- The purpose of this course is to help the student understand how music is created. The rhythm, the notes, everything in general. If the student feels comfortable we can even go a little further to analyze all kinds of partitions.

Hello,

I offer clarinet and music theory lessons for complete beginners and with some basics for children and adults (I do not recommend the practice of this instrument at a too young age - before 6 years old).

I have a diploma in music theory and clarinet at the 3rd cycle Nantes conservatory, after my 11 years of music studies.

I specialize in classical clarinet and klezmer (Jewish music) but can teach you the basics of jazz.

The rates are not fixed, we can discuss it.

Violinist with a Masters in Pedagogy and a Masters in Concert.
I have been teaching for many years in various schools, notably the Ecole Artistique Jacot as well as the Notre-Dame du Lac Institute in Geneva.
I also play regularly with the Nexus orchestra and the Geneva Chamber Orchestra, where I am an additional musician.

I really like teaching in private because it gives us the possibility of creating à la carte lessons and being as close as possible to the needs and pleasure of each student.
Lessons are for all ages, all levels, individual or in small groups.
Feel free to ask questions 😊

Whether it is to develop your technique on the instrument with the classical repertoire, or to play and accompany your favorite song, or even to prepare for an admission exam, I am here to help you! I am used to working with many different methods, depending on your interest and objective, taking into consideration your availability, personality, and level.

Music theory lessons, for children (from 9 years old) and adults.

Passionate about music theory and music theory, I would be happy to share with you my enthusiasm for music theory, so unfairly devalued, due to the sometimes brutal methods with which it is taught.

In the program :
- reading notes (treble clefs, C clefs, F clefs)
- reading rhythms (quarter notes, eighth notes, double / triple / quadruple eighth notes, triplets and other dotted notes)
- dictation of notes (training your ear takes time, but when the exercises are "tailor-made" and progressive, you progress faster)
- dictation of rhythms

Do not hesitate to tell me the context of your request (competition preparation, repurposing of instruments, exams, etc.).

The course durations offered are deliberately short to encourage maximum concentration.

It will be essential to prepare the exercises offered between classes, to progress in a way that gives you satisfaction and nourishes your motivation.

Classes available in English as well.
