Hello everyone!
I have been a saxophonist for over 20 years, mainly on alto saxophone but also soprano, tenor and baritone. My learning shared between classical or more contemporary music (jazz, blues, pop...) and my experience of ensemble music (Ensemble Harmonique de Bellegarde, Musique Municipale de Plan-les-Ouates, African Swallows Big Band, EPFL Big Band) give me a wide range of skills to share, in various musical styles, alone or in a group.
I offer home classes for children and adults, from beginner to advanced, a la carte or sessions of several courses.
Thank you for reading me and maybe see you soon!

About Me

Playing saxophone for over 15 years in various formations, I want to share my experience and discover this beautiful instrument, within the reach of all :)
My courses take place in 2 to 3 parts, adapted each according to the level of the pupil:

(For beginners: discovery of the instrument, fingerings, solfège if necessary).

1) Sound work (breath work, attack, sound breaks, ranges and intervals).

2) Technique of play (reading, work of the rhythm with the voice then with the instrument, alterations and accents).

3) (For intermediate and advanced) Interpretation.

The duration of the courses varies according to the level of the student and the availability of each one. In addition, the rental of a saxophone becomes necessary soon enough to progress effectively, so I can guide you if necessary for any acquisition of equipment;)

Education

I started my learning of alto saxophone at the age of 8 in a classical way, in a music school with a music theory course in parallel, then I directed some years later on jazz, blues, even a little bit of contemporary music. So I had a varied education in terms of musical styles, which is particularly useful today.

Experience / Qualifications

The versatility of my saxophone training and my participation as a director, musician or simple reinforcement over the past 15 years has given me a great experience in the world of music, on an individual scale to the orchestra of more than a hundred musicians, as well as saxophone teaching at all levels.

Having recently obtained my masters degree in Music from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I have been teaching piano, music theory and electroacoustic music for 8 years.

As a former student of the Conservatoire de Musique of Geneva and a music technology undergrad, I offer a tailored program to your needs and wishes. Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

Both classical piano training with years of study at the Geneva Conservatory and electroacoustic training with a bachelor's degree in music technology, I provide a program adapted to the needs and desires of each student. With seven years of experience under my belt and having had students of all ages and backgrounds, I gladly teach classical pieces, jazz, pop, but also music theory or even composition or improvisation. At the same time, I also teach electroacoustic composition to children.

As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship.

As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years.

Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument!
I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra.

In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)

Beginner or experienced, a musician must consider his passion seriously. Whether on a basic or deeper work, the technical rigor must remain the same to develop or put into practice the musicality of each.
The course adapts to each and his desires, but it is asked to provide a regular personal work.

I offer private cello lessons for all ages and levels. I adapt my lessons to each student taking into consideration their personality and personal desires. I can teach in French, English and Spanish.

I am currently teaching at the Conservatory of Music in Geneva within the MusicEnsemble project, which is inspired by "Sistema" in Venezuela, from which I myself am trained. I am passionate about teaching and it has grown throughout my training. Teaching is an area that satisfies me and I am happy when I can offer my help to others by sharing my knowledge and experience.

I offer flute lessons in and around Geneva. (ENGLISH BELOW)
Flutist of Finnish origin, I spent the last three years in Switzerland where I perfected my instrumental mastery as part of a Master. Thanks to regular work with individual students and several replacements at the Conservatoire Popular de Musique in Geneva (among others) and in several music schools in Finland, I gained a lot of teaching experience.
In Finland I studied instrumental pedagogy and I am currently pursuing it at the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva. For me, the goal of teaching is to always work with a smile without forgetting the objectives, adapted to each student individually.

I'm offering flute lessons in the Geneva area. Originally coming from Finland, I've spent my last three years in Switzerland while doing my master studies of flute. Teaching a teacher as a teacher in a private school.
When studying in Finland I already started my instrument pedagogic studies and I'm filling in the High School of Music in Geneva. For me as a teacher, the most important thing is to always study in a good and encouraging atmosphere while still heading towards the waypoints of the instrumental learning.

You will learn how to discover the piano keyboard, the sound, how to produce it, how to improve it and look for a beautiful timbre. You will discover a whole series of practical and simple exercises which will allow you to familiarize yourself with this new instrument.
Then come a large number of composers. They are very old, modern, happy, nostalgic: here it is their music which will speak to you directly and thanks to it, a world will open up to you, speak to you but also allow you to express yourself in this new language that is: MUSIC!

My goal is to discover the beauty of the cello, for anyone of any age, and at any level!
I am already looking forward to meeting you and I hope we can share together in music!
Renting a cello can be seen as a complex task, but finding a cello to rent is actually very simple!
I can also help with research.

I started playing the cello at 5 and a half years old. I obtained my certificate at the Conservatory of Music of Geneva in 2019 and my Bachelor of Arts at the Haute École de Musique in 2022. I obtained my Master of Pedagogy in June 2024.

Develop your physical and cognitive abilities, strengthen your memory, your concentration or even consolidate your self-confidence... The benefits of learning an instrument are numerous.

Cellist in Master's degree at the Haute École de Musique de Genève, in pedagogy course, and holder of a Diploma of Musical Studies in musical training, I invite you to share my experience and my enthusiasm during private lessons or in small groups.
My experiences as a teacher in music schools, in private lessons and within the Démos project coordinated by the Philharmonie de Paris, have allowed me to develop a pedagogy adapted to the needs and demands of students: installation of the bases of instrument, solidification of technique, discovery of the repertoire, stress management, keys to improvisation...The objective of the course is to develop one's freedom and autonomy on the instrument to have fun and share one's music!
Music theory, music history or music theory can accompany the lessons if necessary.

Whether you are just discovering the instrument or an already experienced cellist, we build the course together, according to your expectations. Also, whatever the age, whatever the route, with a little will, everyone can achieve it!

Hope to meet you,

Juliette

At the end of my master's degree in pedagogy, I give oboe lessons at all levels for young and old. I already teach at the Saltarelle, a music school near Lausanne, and have done several replacements, notably at the Conservatoire Populaire de Musique, Danse et Théâtre de Genève. I am a very sociable person and have no trouble getting along with my students. I can travel to your home to a certain extent and giving lessons by zoom (or other platform) is also possible. I am looking forward to it and hope that I will be able to transmit my passion for the oboe to you as best I can!!
