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! :)

My doctoral researches pertains to the neuropsychology of learning music (specifically, exploring the most efficient ways to learn a skill), thus I am thoroughly equipped to provide all sorts of tips and tricks from my research and personal experiences :)

This cornerstone of my teaching makes it easier to meet the needs of the highest caliber (utilizing interdisciplinary knowledge of psychology, physiology, biomechanics and physics), integrating all aspects of music making into a holistic, innovative and fun approach to learning!

Hello,

I offer clarinet and music theory lessons for complete beginners and with some basics for children and adults (I do not recommend the practice of this instrument at a too young age - before 6 years old).

I have a diploma in music theory and clarinet at the 3rd cycle Nantes conservatory, after my 11 years of music studies.

I specialize in classical clarinet and klezmer (Jewish music) but can teach you the basics of jazz.

The rates are not fixed, we can discuss it.

Feel free to ask questions 😊

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Music Teacher. With more than twenty five years of experience in music education, performance, and artistic development, I bring a deep passion for teaching and a holistic approach to music as both a discipline and a form of personal expression.

Throughout my career, I have worked with students of different ages, levels, and cultural backgrounds, supporting them in building strong technical skills while encouraging creativity, confidence, and emotional connection to music. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that music education should inspire curiosity and joy, alongside structure, discipline, and artistic integrity.

In addition to my teaching work, I am an active musician whose compositions and performances have reached an international audience through platforms such as SoundCloud. Listener feedback consistently highlights the emotional depth, originality, and atmospheric quality of my music, often describing it as expressive, cinematic, and deeply moving. This ongoing interaction with a global audience enriches my teaching, allowing me to share real-world artistic experience with my students and encourage them to develop their own authentic musical voice.

I have also contributed to collaborative artistic projects, including volunteer work composing and creating music for the Geneva theatre production Monolog 2020. This experience strengthened my ability to work in interdisciplinary environments and deepened my understanding of how music supports storytelling, stage performance, and emotional expression.

I consider creativity an essential part of both my professional and personal life. Outside of music, I enjoy painting, which further develops my sense of color, form, and expression—elements that strongly influence my musical interpretation and teaching. I am also passionate about skiing, a sport that reflects values I bring into my work: focus, discipline, perseverance, and the ability to adapt to changing conditions with confidence and calm.

Over the years, I have developed a flexible, student-centered teaching approach, adapting methods to individual learning styles and goals. My experience includes individual and group instruction, performance preparation, and long-term artistic mentoring. I value collaboration with colleagues, clear communication with students and parents, and continuous professional growth.

I would be honored to contribute my experience, creativity, and dedication to your institution. I am confident that my background as both a teacher and an active artist would allow me to make a meaningful contribution to your educational environment.

Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my experience and teaching philosophy.

Yours sincerely,

Emilio

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.

Against common thinking, the double bass is not just this big wardrobe in the back of the orchestra.
In this class I'll help you evolve towards finding your own voice in the instrument and help you with any difficulty on the process.
Wish you all the best,
Marco

You want to get to know your voice, sing with your body, and understand how your voice works. Singing is an exciting playground. I invite you to explore, in a gentle and supportive space, to experience it and become familiar with your instrument.
I also provide you with the keys to understanding and reading sheet music so that you can read music or deepen your musical knowledge.
Finally, I'll give you some basic piano skills so I can accompany you if needed.
