About Me

I very quickly wanted to turn this passion into a real profession. The cello has always occupied a central place in my life, both as a means of expression and as a source of daily motivation and discipline.

I started playing the cello at the age of six and have been playing it for almost nineteen years now. This journey has allowed me to obtain a degree in cello in Paris, while building a deep and lasting relationship with the instrument.

Over time, my practice has evolved and I have discovered a real pleasure in passing on what I have learned. Helping, guiding and seeing students progress, gain confidence and musicality has become almost as important to me as playing myself.

Today, teaching cello is a natural progression in my journey: a way to link music, pedagogy and sharing, while continuing to learn and grow through others.

Education

During my studies, I had the opportunity to work with professors such as Dominique de Willencourt, Cyrille Lacrouts and Juliette Salmona as well as Jérôme Pernoo.

I was a student at the CRR of Paris for seven years, where I obtained the DEM in cello with the distinction Very Good in June 2017. I then continued my studies at the CNSM of Paris, where I obtained a bachelor's degree in cello with the distinction Very Good.

During a lesson I encourage the student to work on: posture, breathing and the position of the mouth (embouchure), helping the projection of sound; the development of the tone; i teach the student how to phrase and play a beautiful melody; techniques of improvisation; understanding harmony; having confidence in his/her playing skills; techniques of listening and interacting with the rhythm section; learning new songs and experiencing different styles of music; Introductions to key saxophonists. Above all i encourage my students to have fun with music! Course locations: Paris 13th and neighbouring arrondissements. Languages: French, English. I have been working as a Professional for 25 years, I have toured all over the world. I am also a composer with six albums under my name.
I'll be very happy to meet with you!
Musically, Rob

In this violin course you will learn a foundation in learning one of the most rewarding instruments in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Grip the bow, hold the violin, have the perfect hand position and enjoy playing the strings while learning how to read the notes, the violin rhythm and technique.

Students will generally learn better if they feel a connection developing with their teacher, whether that’s through humour, showing care about their development, or making sure teacher devote time equally to all students when in a group.

You will not regret. 😊

I have just finished a production of Haydn's Die Schöpfung at the Opéra National de Lorraine last January-February, conducted by Marta Gardolinska (Guillaume Fauchère choir director), directed by Kevin Barz.

I sang solo and in chorus the role of the Trojan woman in Campra's Idomenée in 2021 at the Lille Opera and the Berlin Staatsoper, staging of the fura dels baus,
I also sang the solo of Campra's Requiem at the philharmonies of Luxembourg, Lille, Essen Cologne and Berlin with the Concert d'Astrée in 2019 directed by Emmanuelle Haïm.

In 2019, I participated in the production of Les Indes Galantes by Rameau with the Namur Choir at the Opera Bastille, directed by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and directed by Clement Cogitore. In 2022, I participated in numerous productions, notably with the Accentus choir in Beethoven's 9th symphony, the missa solemnis or even a polyphonic baroque project.

My background as well as my skills in lyrical singing allow me to master my instrument well. I am a very curious and very patient person, and I like to find solutions to problems. Transmitting my passion to students wishing to discover or develop their voices, discover their artistic personality would be a great pleasure for me. If I can transmit this joy that I have from singing as well as my acquired knowledge, it would be a great exploration for them as for me.

Hello,

If the method is right, anyone can do it! It is with this spirit that I give my cello lessons, and I live with great pleasure to see my students progress every week with this magnificent instrument!

Have you been hesitating about starting the cello for a while? Do you dream of playing the prelude to Bach's first suite or a melody you've heard played on the cello? or do you just want to enjoy the magnificent sound of this instrument?

Malaysian cellist, in France for 12 years, I graduated from DEM at the Paris Regional Conservatory and from the Performance Diploma at the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris, I am currently studying in the concert cycle at the Paris Regional Conservatory. This is why I know the French and Asian working method well and I love the exchanges between Asian music and European music, and it is with pride that I offer you my cello lessons.

Before going even further, I would like to share with you my cello learning journey.

I was born in a small town in the south of Malaysia, where there weren't many music teachers, although I knew I wanted to play cello very early, I only had the chance to 'finally started the cello when I was 15, and then when I came to France I realized that I was a lot behind my classmates...

This is why I wanted to find a very effective way to learn the instrument, I was lucky to have superb teachers who helped me progress and since then I have passed the competition for '' entered the CRR in Paris (being much older than my classmates), I graduated from the Ecole Normale de Musique in Paris and even better I did a lot of concerts, I participated in master's class and I even passed competitions to play as an academic / intern in orchestras.

All this to tell you that there is no age to start, all that matters is motivation and a good learning method. I was certainly not the genius child but I knew how to adapt to have real results.

Everything I learned, you can learn too, I have always loved sharing my passion for music and with years of teaching experience, I have helped my students as children, adult beginners or more advanced to have real progress and results...

My teaching plan is firstly, to understand your objective, whatever it is to be able to play a specific piece or just to have fun with the instrument etc... then to establish a work plan which suits you well, and then help you step by step until you reach your goal. And I truly believe that anyone can succeed with a well-established plan.

I try to vary between the Suzuki method and the classical studies of Feuillard etc, I also arrange the pop music or film music according to your desires. For beginners, I try to help you establish a very solid basic technique so that you can progress quickly but with a lot of rigor. For the advanced amateurs, I try to work more in the musicality and to play works in different styles.

I teach in French, English or Mandarin.

I can also gladly give you advice on renting / buying a cello.
Looking forward to reading you !

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

Graduated with a master's degree from the Milan Conservatory, an artist certificate from the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and winner of international competitions, I teach harpsichord, piano and music theory in Paris. I accompany beginners or experts to build a solid foundation or deepen their technique, expression and musical culture. I believe that teaching music theory should never be detached from the music played, and I pursue a teaching method linking the two.

I am currently training at the conservatory, where I am working on composition, music theory and musical creation.

My background blends classical practice, contemporary music, and sound engineering. This diversity allows me to tailor lessons to each student, according to their desires, level, and sensibilities.

My approach to the piano is based on listening, the relationship to sound and musical expression. I am as interested in technique as I am in what it allows me to say and feel.

The courses are designed as a space for progressive learning, respectful of each individual's pace, particularly suited to adult beginners or those returning to the piano after a break.

I teach on acoustic or digital piano, and I adapt the content according to the musical tastes and objectives of the student.

After 9 years of conservatory training in piano, operatic singing and variety, and 3 cycles of solfège, I offer private lessons to discover or develop your skills in piano (accompaniment, synthesizer and classical pieces), singing (opera, variety) and solfège.

For piano lessons: if you have a piano, I can come to your home. Otherwise, lessons are given at my home using a digital keyboard.
For singing and for music theory: no equipment required, at my place or yours!

The goal: to prepare your pieces, songs, learn the theoretical basics and have fun with it all!
