Recorder Tuition for Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass (F, bass clef), traditional or "Celtic/folk" style (workshop).

From 41.49 € /h

Playing the recorder isn't necessarily "child's play". The recorder is a serious "real" musical instrument like all the other members of the woodwind family.
The soprano recorder in C is the traditional starting point for children as it is just the right size for little fingers. That doesn't mean it's a "kids only" instrument. many 17C composers have written for the soprano recorder.

If you don't want to start with the small C instrument, there's the tenor as the "large" alternative. Because of its size, though, it may be too large for some hands. The alto recorder in F, the 18C favorite of many Baroque composers e.g. Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, also called "flauto dolce"/the sweet recorder, is probably the best place for adults to start with. It's not "too small" nor "too big", offers loads of original literature, and is simply "dolce/sweet". The large F-instrument is the bass recorder. Many alto players play the bass as well but cannot read the bass clef, hence have to rely on others to transpose parts into the treble clef. I offer bass recorder playing and reading in bass clef.

Being passionate about Celtic music myself, I offer workshops explaining and practicing the differences between classical and Celtic playing for recorder players who want to venture into trad Irish or Celtic music.

Extra information

I offer a free 30 min first meeting to discuss the interests, needs, and expectations of students and discussing suitable methods. If a student has already got a tutor book/method, I'm happy to use it. In many cases, though, it may be better to start from scratch, especially online.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

For anyone willing to immerse themselves in the fantastic world of music and also "early music", the music wrote between the XVII and XVIII centuries. I offer dynamic lessons for all ages, from music theory to an instrument, the cello. For the most curious, the baroque cello and early music can become a huge passion.

I am a piano teacher graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris with over 17 years of teaching experience, specializing in piano lessons for children and young learners.

My classical conservatory training provides a strong technical and musical foundation, which I adapt carefully for children in a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

I believe that a solid classical base, combined with motivation and enjoyment, is essential for long-term musical development. Lessons are structured yet flexible and always adapted to each child’s age, personality, and attention span.

In addition to my musical training, I integrate principles of child psychology into my teaching to help children stay engaged, confident, and genuinely interested in piano.

I work closely with parents and provide clear feedback on progress, motivation, and healthy practice habits at home.
