From 57.04 $ /h

I am very attentive to the desires and needs of each student, adapting to their level, beginner or not, as well as to their musical tastes.
I am very attached to offering a very varied and original working repertoire, combining works from the repertoire and current music, as well as various complementary working methods varying according to the technical and musical difficulties of each person (technical exercises, reading of scores, training of the musical ear, listening...).

I am available for any additional information!

About Me

With 15 years of musical experience, I am currently a student at the Paris Conservatory (CNSMD) pursuing a Master's degree in composition and a Bachelor's degree in piano accompaniment, as well as at the Boulogne-Billancourt Regional Conservatory (CRR) in the preparatory program for higher education in piano. I have been giving private lessons regularly for over three years. I have also worked as a substitute teacher in several conservatories and music schools in the Île-de-France region.

In addition to the numerous concerts given within the framework of the conservatory over the years, I have multiplied personal projects, both as a concert performer and composer.
I recently arranged and orchestrated a musical tale based on The Little Prince by Saint-Exupéry, which will be published by Gallimard Jeunesse in April 2026. Finally, I have been the artistic director of the Silmaril Orchestra since January 2023.

Education

After studying piano at the Noisy-le-Sec Conservatory and violin at the Bobigny CRD, I entered the Paris CRR, where I studied piano, violin, chamber music, music theory, writing, analysis and orchestration for ten years.
I obtained my DEM (Diploma of Musical Studies) in piano and music theory in 2021, my DEM in violin in 2023, and my DEM in piano accompaniment in 2025. I am currently a student at the CNSMD (National Conservatory of Music and Dance) in Paris, pursuing a Master's degree in composition and a Bachelor's degree in accompaniment, as well as at the CRR (Regional Conservatory) of Boulogne-Billancourt in the CPES (Preparatory Class for Higher Education) in piano.

Experience / Qualifications

Highly interested in teaching, I have been giving private lessons regularly for over three years. I have also done several substitute teaching positions in conservatories and music schools in the Île-de-France region.

I adapt my teaching methods to the students to allow them to learn and improve more intuitively the different music elements studied : ear, technique, theory, posture, touch, style, history, etc.

Connexions between music, fine arts, architecture, philosophy, literature, poetry will ba also approached.

I have been teaching piano for 15 years and have been practicing it for 30 years. My teachers and experiences made me discover multiple and rich approaches of music ( classical, contemporary, gospel, blues, jazz ), composition and pedagogy.

I am a professional jazz pianist with solid stage experience, have a CFEM Conservatory Degree, an Artificial Intelligence Masters Degree, I am also a sculptor and a kung-fu / qigong instructor.

I have French Canadian double citizenship and speak both English and French fluently.

Today for musicians it is more and more useful to know how to use notation software, of which Finale (developed by Makemusic) is the most powerful. I am a young student of composition at the University of Music of Geneva and I propose a final course that will allow you to write your music in a fast and professional way. Do not hesitate to contact me for all your questions!

My goal is to make people of all ages and levels learn not only playing an instrument but how can music help them in their everyday life.
I am an Albanian violinist, with a Bachelor degree in Classical Music (Violin) and Musicologie in Sorbonne University.
Over the years, my experiences with different youth and professional orchestras all around Europe have made me understand that music is important not only for professional musicians but also for everyone.
I can teach in English or French and of course in my mother tongue Albanian.

I am a multi-instrumentalist (saxophone, transverse flute, keyboard), composer and arranger (SACEM member since 2012), excellent improviser. This course will allow you quickly, whatever your instrument and your technical level, to understand and master the chord sequences and the articulation of musical language according to these sequences. In addition, you will learn the most frequent or rare harmonic structures used by composers. And, theory notwithstanding, you will learn to develop your ear to identify harmonic structures. This course also includes an introduction to the history of jazz.

With over a decade of experience as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral cellist, Daniel brings a wealth of expertise to his teaching. He tailors his lessons to each student's individual needs, regardless of age or experience.
Daniel's teaching philosophy centers around building a strong foundation, which serves as a springboard for musical expression.
His approach draws from various methodologies such as ABRSM, AMEB, Kodaly, Tortelier, and Feuillard schools, Suzuki method, and his own compositions, resulting in a customized strategy for each student.

Genres taught: Pop, Folk, Jazz, Singer-songwriter, Funk, Blues, Rock

The courses are aimed at all levels and are adapted to the wishes of the student. My goal is that everyone can get what they want from the lessons, and if that changes, the teaching style will change too. I still believe that a basic understanding of theory (scales, harmony, etc.) will help you a lot moving forward in whatever you want to do.

Teaching languages: French, Greek, English and Italian

Beginner level :
Expected duration: approximately 12 and 18 months / 1 hour of lessons per week

1. 3 or 4 music theory sessions containing instrument structure and Western notation (with a brief historical explanation of why we use this notation system today).
2. Start with the first and second music conservatory books which emphasize precise execution of notes and rhythm.
Concrete listening exercises: Before explaining a musical concept, students are encouraged to listen to suggested examples of a specific form, genre, or style and express their analysis in class.
3. Teaching correct posture and how to focus on body and breathing during play.
4. Beginning of improvisation exercises based on the rhythms of Persian poems: At this level, we do not use Western notation and we rely solely on the repetitive rhythms of the poems and melodic creativity.

Intermediate level :
Expected duration: approximately 2 and 3 years / 1 or 2 hours of lessons per week

1. Teaching studies and technical pieces with emphasis on the use of Western notation and paying attention to verbal points that are not included in the notation (At this level, students should not have any difficulty reading notes).
2. The beginning of teaching Radif (practical repertoire of Persian music) without using notation and entirely orally.
3. Continue the listening exercises to understand the difference between modes and concepts related to Iranian music.
4. Memorize the pieces, perform them based on memory and precision of sentence logic and modal precision.
5. Improvisation exercises based on Iranian music modes. The student is asked to make musical sentences after having learned each mode (according to the logic that he has heard and learned in the pieces).
6. The first concert and professional recording experiences of the pieces taught with the advice of the teacher.

Higher level :
Expected duration: approximately 2 and 3 years / 1 or 2 hours of lessons per week

1. Achieve a comprehensive understanding of the modal system in Persian music through the interpretation and analysis of the Iranian musical repertoire.
2. Beginning of composition exercises based on the rhythmic and modal system of Iranian music.
3. Teaching the principle and methods of modulation in improvisation in three stages:
• Listen, memorize and accurately perform the improvisations of the ancient masters.
• Make a collage of phrases from the master's recorded improvisations.
• Create pieces based on the common logic of improvisation in Iranian music.

Additional explanation:
- This planning is a completely personal method and its auditory and oral aspects are different from the academic method.
- As is evident, my teaching style is based on the knowledge and ability to use European music theory while preserving the traditional and historical characteristics of Iranian music. I have two reasons for using and emphasizing learning Western notation: first, it has become the common way to write and record our music today. Substituting any other method will cause problems for the student. Second, using Western notation speeds up the training process (especially at the elementary level). From experience, the training time of those who have only been trained in the traditional and oral way is longer, and in addition, in the oral way there is no analysis in the way to train.
- Traditional and oral teachings are anchored in the concepts of Iranian mysticism. The use and reference to Persian poems, the discussion of ethics, appreciation and reliability of the artist are all positive points of this method, which I also try to address in my teaching.

My approach combines theory and creativity.
We will approach learning notes through a conductor book but also through colors, drawings and songs for a fun and lively memorization. You will also discover the essential signs for reading and writing music: staff, keys, rests, alterations, ornaments and other elements enriching the musical language.
The rhythm will be worked on through a book but also in a physical way thanks to dance, movement, body clapping to naturally integrate the pulse and the tempo.
We will explore ensemble playing, essential for developing listening and musical cohesion with others.
Interpretation and nuances will be addressed by highlighting musical colors and expressiveness in order to bring each piece to life and convey emotions.
You will discover different musical styles and eras, varied instrumental forms and formations in order to enrich your musical culture.
Finally, music theory (tones, chords, intervals, scales, cadences, etc.) will be integrated in a progressive and accessible way.
My goal is to offer you tailor-made learning, so that each student progresses at their own pace while enjoying exploring the richness of Music.
