My musical journey began with the piano, with 12 years of study at the Conservatory of Trapani, Sicily.
This training gave me a solid foundation in technique, musicality and artistic sensitivity, which still inform my work today.
Before graduating, my passion naturally led me towards opera singing, which I now practice as a classical singer, graduating from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in Dublin.
Although my specialty is voice, I continue to teach piano to beginners and intermediate students with pleasure and kindness. I adapt to each student to transmit both technique and, above all, the pleasure of playing and expressing oneself musically.

Hello! I am a 25-year-old South Korean student in Paris. I am currently enrolled at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris learning Classical Piano and in the course of the "Diploma Superieur de Execution". I started the piano at the age of 5. I was born in a musical family; both of my parents being opera singers and my sister a violinist. When I was 8 years old, my family moved to Budapest, Hungary, where I started to have lessons privately with professors at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. In High-School, I enrolled at the Bartok Conservatory of Music in Budapest. I was awarded the Bachelors as well as the Master's Degree at the Franz Liszt Academy and have graduated with the Highest Honors in Piano Performance. I would like to share and teach what took me many years to learn in just a few months. I know that there are those who have and had difficulties like me learning the piano and feeling stuck or non-progressive, or not being able to improve. I have solutions to those problems. If you are one of those in need of quick and fast adjustments, please do not hesitate to contact me! I have a teaching experience of 6 years and all my students were those who needed assistance with international competitions, entrance exams, and general piano learning. If you have problems relaxing your arms, muscle pain, tiring back, or no energy in your fingertips, then I might be able to help you and fix those problems.

As a former professional musician, I offer private piano lessons. My specialty lies in teaching jazz, blues and improvised music. However, I also work with classical music and all other styles, depending on the objectives of my students.

My pedagogical approach is based on a natural method of learning music. We start with listening and playing, then gradually integrate the reading of notes, respecting everyone's rhythm. With this method, students are able to play from the first lesson. Part of the course is dedicated to group practice, with instruments such as piano, double bass and drums.

Classes take place in our private room located at Porte d'Orléans. In addition to individual lessons, we offer ensemble lessons for interested students, as well as the possibility of participating in our choir.

Do not hesitate to contact me to find out more. I can't wait to play music with you!

Through my lessons I wish to share with you all the fruits of the teaching that I have been able to receive during my years of conservatory accompanied by M.Jean Muller. Indeed, I won a 1st prize in piano, a diploma at the end of the musical training cycle as well as a first mention in sight-reading, accompaniment and harmony. I validated these different diplomas during my two years of conservatory which followed my two years of teaching with a private teacher.
The speed of my progress is explained by the involvement but also by the work techniques that I adopted quite quickly in order to evolve as quickly as possible.
Over the course I will therefore be able to teach the principles of music theory as well as the very practice of the instrument and everything that surrounds it.
It is therefore with enormous enthusiasm that I wish to teach students who are interested in practicing the piano.
My young age also gives me the advantage of a very friendly and accessible relationship.
Regarding my availability, I can be quite flexible depending on where you live.
I can give my lessons in French, English or Spanish.

The courses I offer are aimed at almost all levels up to DEM.
