Saxophonist since 1996, I bring saxophone lessons since September 2010, but also solfeggio if you want to learn to read a score.

I do program customization, depending on your goals, the learning program is tailor-made and should only apply to the student's pace.

For that, I propose various formulas for a follow-up on the long term in your progression, this will allow me to support you in the difficult moments.

Because the learning of an instrument sometimes involves obstacles that prevent progress, obstacles that the student will not always solve himself.

I am an eclectic and curious musician, before any contrabassist. I am also a composer and arranger.

After a master of sociology I make the decision to train myself professionally; I return simultaneously to the conservatory of Agen in jazz and conservatory of Bordeaux in classical to learn bass.

Then, in 2014, I confirm a National Superior Professional Musician Diploma at the Pole Supérieur Paris Boulogne Billancourt through the training at the Didier Lockwood Music Center.

I was trained retrospectively by Jean-Paul Macé, Kent Carter, Gilles Naturel, Marc-Michel Lebevillon, Cristian Diaz, Jean Michel Charbonel, Chris Jennings, Cristophe Dal-sasso, and Carine Bonnefoy (for writing).

All these people have nourished my love and passion for music, which remains for me a long way to explore in search of new knowledge.

It is the diversity of cultures and the wealth of knowledge that drives me to continue to study everything within my reach.

I'm interested in jazz, classical music, Indian music, rock and electronic music ...

I hate taboos and separations between the musical worlds and I think that everyone wins to share their knowledge and their modes of operation.

My way of thinking about learning Music:

I prefer to stay on a principle of pleasure and sharing specific to music.

I find it important to adapt to feed the motivation of the student, especially for young people with whom it is very important to have a fun approach.

Too many students leave demotivated classes of music schools or conservatory; that I practiced for 5 years (since despite my criticisms I still have a prize of jazz conservatory and I followed the training to obtain the DE of jazz which is a diploma of pedagogy).

This involves learning the mechanisms based on improvisation, understanding chords, rhythm and melody.

Regarding the repertoire I am based on the culture of the students, after all they are the main concerned! So the choices of the pieces depend on the desires and the tastes.

The mode of learning depends on the musical style approached, for example I will not make music theory to someone who wants to play the AC / DC (unless he wishes) conversely a person who wants to address jazz can hardly do without notions about harmony.

The purpose of this approach is to develop the independence of the student. The teacher is there to accompany the student at the beginning; he must not become a guardian who can sometimes be transformed over the years into a crutch!

This is my way of seeing pedagogy!
