Pianist for over 12 years, I help beginner and intermediate students to progress on the piano and enjoy playing their favorite pieces.

. Music styles:

- Pop/contemporary music (Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Imagine Dragons, Yiruma, Yann Tiersen, Ludovico Einaudi, etc.)
- Classical music (Bach, Chopin, Beethoven, etc.)
- Film music (La La Land, Titanic, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.)
- French pop music (Francis Cabrel, Jean-Jacque Goldman, etc.)

. My teaching method:

- Beginner level: my work is based on the book "J'apprends le piano tout simplement" by Christophe Astié, a simple and progressive method for learning the basics of piano (reading sheet music, music theory, playing with two hands, chords, etc.). Once some basic skills have been acquired, we can begin to learn the pieces you wish for.

- Intermediate level: Instruction is personalized based on the pieces you wish to learn. I will guide you through reading sheet music, interpreting the piece, and improving your technique, while providing you with tailored theoretical knowledge. The goal is to enable you to play your favorite pieces with fluidity and confidence.

. Location: At home (Antony and surrounding areas - Nanterre and surrounding areas)

. Limited availability:
I still have a few slots available for Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

See you soon at the piano!

- My students' opinions - (translated in English)

"My daughter Louane (10 years old) has been taking piano lessons with Daniel for 8 months now, and the progress she's made is incredible. She really enjoys playing, and it shows in her motivation and consistency. What we particularly appreciate is Daniel's gentleness and kindness, as well as his teaching style, which is very child-friendly.
Louane can choose the pieces she likes, which makes her even more involved, and music theory is naturally integrated into the learning process. It's an approach that's both fun and effective. Thank you for your patience and your infectious passion!" - Nathalie C.

"Excellent teacher, excellent teaching style! My son has progressed much more this year than in previous years. Daniel is patient and adapts to his student's needs. I recommend him 100%." - François M.

"After playing the piano for 4 years and then stopping for 21, I decided to take piano lessons with Daniel since August 2024. I quickly noticed progress and I recommend him for his professionalism, kindness, and friendliness.
I also appreciate being able to choose the pieces I want to learn." - Marjolaine.

In the first lesson Younes asks some questions about your experience with playing the piano, what kind of music (genre) you like, and what you encounter while playing the piano.

The lessons are positive and solution-oriented, we focus on what you need and want to achieve. Furthermore, Younes will give an introduction and the basic techniques if needed, and then the intention is of course to play :)

My in-home piano lessons follow a solid method forged by extensive teaching experience. I strive to tailor your journey to your dreams: mastering the classics from Haydn to Liszt, simply accompanying your voice, jazz/blues improvisation, etc.

By default, my method is structured in two distinct parts addressed together or separately:

- CLASSICAL PIANO: the teaching method adopted here corresponds to that provided at the conservatory. Music scores have a fundamental importance. This requires learning music theory using several supports: one dedicated to reading notes in isolation, an application also dedicated to this work and a practical manual. Technique is also important for the good practice of classical music pieces, which is why you follow a whole progression of exercises designed to make you work on articulation, velocity, precision of touch. If the classical repertoire is demanding and rich, we can also play more popular music: films, video games, variety, ...

PIANO JAZZ/BLUES/POP/VARIETY

We work to make you a proactive player in your musical journey. This generally comes after a classical piano course. However, not everyone necessarily has the time or the desire to achieve excellence, especially for adult beginners or even more advanced players. You choose the music covered and develop your ear and your knowledge of the keyboard (simple concepts of harmony at the same time). The repertoire corresponds to current music. We can even move towards improvisation and improvement in this area for students already introduced to jazz or bues in particular.
Intimidating and then quickly liberating, this approach allows you to develop a creative and personal musical practice. You are then able to improvise, compose, or even play with other musicians.
This approach is based around 4 main axes.

Hello! My name is Linh, I have always been passionate about music and have been playing the piano since I was six years old.
I trained at a music school, then continued with a private teacher, which allowed me to acquire an advanced level in piano as well as a solid foundation in music theory and music theory.
I've also had the chance to play with orchestras and accompany choirs, experiences that have taught me a lot about listening, rhythm, and musical sharing. 🎶

My classes are aimed at beginners and intermediate levels, children and adults.
With me, you will learn to:
🎵 read a score step by step
🎵 master the technical basics of the piano (position, coordination, hand independence)
🎵 play pieces you like (classical, modern or film music)
🎵 develop your musical ear and your sense of rhythm
🎵 gain confidence in yourself and above all, have fun playing!

My approach is caring, patient and fun: I adapt to your pace and your tastes so that each lesson is a pleasant moment.
Piano is all about fun and sharing — so if you want to learn in a relaxed and motivating atmosphere, I'd be delighted to help you! 🎹✨

I am currently training at the conservatory, where I am working on composition, music theory and musical creation.

My background blends classical practice, contemporary music, and sound engineering. This diversity allows me to tailor lessons to each student, according to their desires, level, and sensibilities.

My approach to the piano is based on listening, the relationship to sound and musical expression. I am as interested in technique as I am in what it allows me to say and feel.

The courses are designed as a space for progressive learning, respectful of each individual's pace, particularly suited to adult beginners or those returning to the piano after a break.

I teach on acoustic or digital piano, and I adapt the content according to the musical tastes and objectives of the student.

Lessons can take place at my home in the 17th arrondissement on a Kawai grand piano, or at your home.

With musical vocabulary adapted to each language, of course!

Trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur Musique et Danse de Lyon, the Jaroussky Academy in Paris, and the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, I have developed a demanding artistic career, nourished by the French and Viennese musical tradition. I also taught for four years at the Vienna Conservatory (Austria).

My work as a concert performer has led me to play in prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York, the Musikverein in Vienna, La Seine Musicale in Boulogne-Billancourt, the Dvorák Hall in Prague, the Kaunas Philharmonic in Lithuania, as well as in numerous festivals in Europe and Japan.
You may even have heard me on France Musique!
