Having graduated with a degree in Musicology and trained at a conservatory, I offer private piano lessons in Toulouse and its region.
My teaching is aimed at students from beginner to intermediate level and is structured around the following areas:
• Technical learning: finger dexterity exercises and work on hand independence.
• Theory and reading: melodic and rhythmic deciphering, as well as essential solfège concepts for progression.
• Repertoire: study of classical pieces (studies, sonatas) adapted to your level.
• Creativity: introduction to improvisation to develop your own musical sensitivity.

Blue Method

a method that prepares the child to understand the pitch of sounds, to read the notes, to learn the rhythm through card games and songs, by drawing, coloring, and of course the practice of the piano in a way alternate.

[Adult/Teen]

Christophe Astie method

Built to advance step by step and this from beginner level 0 in the understanding of the practice of the instrument and the music, it combines practice and musical theory, and this, in a very progressive way.

A piece or two mastered per week in just 10 to 15 minutes of daily practice are necessary at the start.

A rich and varied repertoire: Classical themes, film music, folk music, blues, boogie, ragtime. In the second half of the year, more pop songs are added.

[Advanced Pianist | Musicians]

After one to three years depending on your development and involvement or for already experienced musicians
Develop more advanced concepts if you already have a solid foundation by working on several modules of your choice:
- harmony
- writing
- the arrangement
- improvisation
- Rhythm
- The shade

The courses are aimed at all types of students wishing to reach a level equivalent to the 3rd cycle conservatory or moving towards free expression games and improvised music.

BEGINNER
You are at Beginner 1 level if you start from zero at the piano Here is what you need to know to consider having acquired this level.

Theory: reading notes in central C position, SOL clef and FA clef / understanding the notions of tone and semitone / quickly identifying notes on the piano / distinguishing left hand and right hand on the score / repeat bar / simple rhythms (black, white, round)

Technique: knowing the numbers for fingering / playing legato on 5 notes, hands separated and hands together, starting on all the white keys / feeling the pulse while playing

Repertoire: pieces whose melody is separated between the 2 hands / many fingerings written so reading notes is optional / rhythms that are simple to read or easy to do by ear because you know the piece / one note at a time in each hand

The 2 pieces of Piano Subito (PBD) are good examples of pieces at this level.
Amazing Grace (gospel, simplified version)
Stand By Me (Ben E. King, simplified version)
Several pieces from Hal Leonard Methods vol. 1, preparatory Bastien and preparatory Alfred.
Several pieces from the book Favorite Classic Melodies (primer level) by James Bastien

INTERMEDIATE
Theory: notes can be read anywhere on the staff, in the 2 keys, including additional lines / formation of dominant seventh chords / good understanding of chord inversions / 6/8 as indicator numbers / classification and qualification of intervals (interval name + major, minor, perfect, augmented or diminished) / know the order of sharps and flats

Technique: scales on 2 octaves hands together (DO – G – D – A – E major, A – D – E, G, C minor) / chords of 3 notes and inversions in all these keys / arpeggios on 2 octaves in eighth hands separated and hands together, root position (DO – G major and A minor) / sequence of chords I-IV-V7-I in other known keys

Repertoire: pieces with arpeggios in the left hand / possible movements in both hands / integrated interpretative elements such as nuances, tempo modifications if requested, playing one hand stronger than the other / rhythm including sixteenth notes / on tackle the ornaments

Mia & Sebastian's Theme (La La Land, PBD version)
Minuet in G major or that in G minor (JS Bach)
Arabesque (Burgmüller)
Rhyme from another summer (Tiersen, simplified version)
Moonlight (Debussy, simplified version)
