Learn Piano with a European-Trained Pianist Based in Paris

Àpd 84 $ /h

I am a European-trained pianist and opera performer currently based in Paris. I studied piano for four years at the Istanbul Technical University State Conservatory and later continued my education at the Mimar Sinan State Conservatory, where I completed six years of intensive training in both opera and piano simultaneously. During my studies I won several opera competitions, and I continue to perform actively on stage as a professional opera singer.

I have over seven years of teaching experience and have worked with students of different ages and levels. I previously served as both academy director and piano instructor at a music academy with more than 350 students. During this time, I successfully prepared many students for international music examinations, and my students obtained their diplomas from LCME (London College of Music Examinations), part of the University of West London.

My teaching method focuses on strong piano technique, musical understanding, and artistic expression. With my conservatory training and professional performance background, I help students progress efficiently and achieve noticeable results in a relatively short time. Whether a student is a beginner or preparing for exams and advanced repertoire, my goal is to guide them toward confident and expressive musicianship.

< Learning Piano is not merely about playing the piano >

Before starting to learn the piano, it’s essential to recognize that :

'' What we are actually learning is "Music", but not only "Piano". ''

The goal of learning any instrument is to acquire the language of music, enabling us to express ourselves and enjoy music with others. Playing the piano is for creating beautiful sounds, not really for developing finger speed or strength. That’s the function of gym.

< Music is like cooking >

When we cook, to make roast beef tender, of course, it’s nice to have a tender heart, but without knowing how to control the temperature, the roast beef won’t become tender merely by our tender heart.

By only adding salt, the dish won’t be sweet. Similarly, simply playing or writing a C major triad chord won’t convey a sorrowful feeling.

To create the feeling we want, no matter how much sentiment we have in our hearts, to convey it via music, it needs to be translated into the language which the piano can understand, which means, how we press and lift the keys and pedals. Similarly, when we compose, it needs to be transferred into chords, and notes we write.

< Difference between an audience and a musician >

There is a common belief that a musician can make music with sentiment or feeling. While it’s partially true, the most essential thing is knowing ‘’How’’ to create the sound that conveys the feeling we want, rather than merely knowing ‘’What’' feeling we want to convey.

The understanding of the mechanism behind music is essential, as cooking, and that is the difference between an audience and a musician. As an audience, one can simply feel the music. Like a chief who knows how to create a specific flavor to convey, a musician knows how to create the sound which can convey the feeling we want. While knowing which feeling we want is great, it’s merely the first step. Your emotions are not too different from Chopin, Beethoven, Adele or Taylor Swift, otherwise, they can’t resonate with you. But they know how to create the sound that conveys the feeling they want to their audience.

< Course Content >

I consider my course to be a form of "Music Consultation" because it contains a wide range of subjects that are essential to a professional musician. While we focus on piano playing, there are also music theory, music history, instrument construction, ergonomics for performers, analysis of composer styles, composition, arrangement, recording, MIDI, computer music, the physics of sound, and more.
In avoid of confusion, let’s still call my course as "Piano Course”.

< Duration >

For each course, I will reserve at least 70 minutes in my schedule for you, including 60 minutes of class time and an additional 10 minutes for discussion and any questions you may have. This will ensure that your courses are not rushed by the next student. This ensures that there is enough time for you to solve your piano and music problems.

< Recording >

I highly encourage my students to record their progress. This can provide an objective standard for comparison and help you analyze your playing precisely. In my nine years of experience teaching music, I've found many students, including those advanced, already play certain sections very well, while other sections may not be not well enough. But they still try to improving those fine sections, while not aware of those weak sections.
Without an objective reference, it’s hard to distribute our effort precisely. This can lead to not only unstable performance, but also practicing without a precise goal can easily reduce enthusiasm. Recording your results and comparing them with those recordings you like on YouTube or Spotify can be an effective way to analyze your playing and set precise goals.

If you have a digital piano, I can help you produce a video of your performance for each session. This can be a tangible record of your efforts and you can share it with your friends and family via YouTube or other platforms.

I am a Vietnamese pianist and I would love to share nice music with you in a friendly environment. I have finished my Master's in piano specialization at the Royal Conservatory of Liège and piano accompaniment at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. Giving concerts, making some recordings, working in both classical and contemporary music, and with more than 10 years of experience in teaching, I would be happy to share all my knowledge and enjoy the music together!

The most important matter that I could write here about is my passion to teach. I've been teaching already for more than 10 years, from kids to adults. I'm a classical pianist, but I am opened to other musical styles. What I want you to get from your lessons with me, is not only a huge knowledge of theorical stuff or a great technique, I would like to show you my musical world, the imagination and inner exploration that is required to understand and to love music in a whole new level. Once you have found them, it will be very hard to quit playing!

The class duration: You can choose!
20 minutes (Great for the youngest : 3 years old)
30 minutes (Ideal for young beginners from 4 years old)
45 minutes (Intermediate+ adult beginners)
1 hour (Intermediate and combined with some Music Theory)

I use different methods depending on:
1) The goals of my student
2) The language that we will use on class
3) Age and musical preferences: I start to teach children from 3 years old, we make games and they learn to play through musical stories that I have created throughout my pedagogical career.

Do you dream of playing and singing simultaneously with fluidity and confidence, without distraction or loss of pitch or rhythm?
In this lesson you will learn step by step how to unify your voice and your musical instrument, and build a true harmony between playing and singing, while adjusting the musical pitch to suit your voice accurately and healthily.

This training is designed for anyone who finds it difficult to combine singing and playing instruments, or feels that one overshadows the other. Together, we will work to make playing and singing complement each other rather than compete.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

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.

Hello,
Welcome to my world!
My name is Laurence. I have been playing the piano since I was 5 years old and I have been teaching it for over 20 years. I have experience teaching children from the age of 5 and adults of all levels.

Learning the piano can be beneficial in many terms; it helps in marriages, churches, events, and many more places! I'm here to help students achieve this goal; from playing with one hand to both. I can teach that, but first I must teach student solfege (theory) if they don't know.

Je suis chanteuse et musicienne depuis plus de 20 ans. J’ai commencé très jeune avec une formation classique en chant, notamment au sein du Petit Chœur de l’Opéra de Paris.

Au fil des années, j’ai exploré différents univers musicaux : j’ai chanté dans un cabaret parisien, dans des groupes de rock, et sur scène dans divers projets musicaux. Cette diversité d’expériences me permet aujourd’hui d’accompagner les élèves aussi bien sur la technique vocale que sur l’interprétation.

Aujourd’hui, chanter est devenu mon métier et j’ai récemment sorti mon premier album.

Dans mes cours, j’attache beaucoup d’importance à transmettre la technique tout en gardant le plaisir de faire de la musique. Mon objectif est d’aider chaque élève à progresser, prendre confiance et trouver sa propre voix.

Mes cours s’adressent aux enfants comme aux adultes, débutants ou intermédiaires, qui souhaitent apprendre le chant ou le piano.

Ma particularité est de transmettre les bases musicales (rythme, oreille, solfège) directement à travers les chansons que vous aimez. L’objectif est de progresser de manière concrète et de devenir progressivement autonome pour apprendre et interpréter des morceaux.

Les cours peuvent être centrés sur le chant, sur le piano, ou sur l’accompagnement au piano pour chanter. Je privilégie une approche musicale et pratique plutôt que des cours de solfège théoriques.

Avec les enfants, les cours sont adaptés et ludiques afin de développer l’oreille musicale, la justesse et la confiance.

Chaque cours est personnalisé selon le niveau et les objectifs de l’élève.
