PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Looking for a passionate and professional piano teacher for your child or for yourself? My lessons are designed to bring out the joy of music and enhance creativity, while also gradually improving technique based on age and individual abilities.
As a dedicated and experienced professional teacher with a university degree, I take teaching seriously and am committed to providing effective lessons tailored to each student.
I offer different approaches to suit the individual needs and goals of every student. Playing an instrument should be a delightful experience and that's exactly what my lessons are all about!

PRE-SCHOOL CHILDREN
Are you a parent eager to introduce your little one to the wonderful world of music? My lessons are designed to be playful and engaging. Using specially adapted piano books, including a method tailored for children as young as 4 years old, I'll guide your child through an exciting musical adventure, complete with stories, games and new songs to learn. We'll explore music through singing, movement, and rhythm, helping your child develop a deep and lasting love for music.

SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
The lessons are more than just learning songs. Children will explore a piano book filled with stories, characters, engaging music, and games. Depending on preferences we can dive into playing music with accompaniment recordings, which allows children to immerse themselves in a complete musical experience. Theory learning is included.

TEENAGERS
Are you looking for a piano teacher who will encourage and support your teenager's passion for music? Thanks to a hybrid method book for older beginners that contains pedagogically and age appropriate piano pieces, technical exercises, and supplementary activities, students are able to play hands together from the very first day, unlikely to traditional methods. In case of a former experience in playing the piano, I build on their existing knowledge and continue to expand their skills and creativity. I am also open to student's suggestions, I believe that playing a piece they enjoy is effective in keeping them motivated.

ADULTS
It's never too late to pick up a new skill. As an adult, you have unique advantages over children when it comes to learning music. You have greater focus, a better grasp of music theory, and a strong motivation to succeed.
We'll follow a hybrid method book for older beginners that contains pedagogically appropriate piano pieces, technical exercises, and supplementary activities, and allows you, unlikely to traditional methods, to play hands together from the very first day.
Do you have a favorite song that you've always wanted to play but thought it was too difficult? There are plenty of classical and popular melodies that have been arranged for beginners, so you can start playing them right after grasping the basics of piano playing.

For artists, songwriters, and creatives ready to shape their vision.

Are you working on your own songs and feeling stuck?
Do you have a head full of ideas but struggle to bring them together into one clear artistic story?
Or maybe you’ve already created something you're proud of, but you want to take it further — deeper, bolder, more you.

I'm here to help you connect the dots.

As a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director working on my own debut album, I know how overwhelming the creative process can feel. There’s so much more to being an artist than just making music. Your sound, your visuals, your story, your live performance — it’s all connected. That’s where I come in.

In our sessions, we can explore whatever part of your creative world needs support:

🎵 Songwriting – melody, lyrics, structure, harmony
🎧 Production Direction – from early sketches to refined ideas
🌙 Artistic Identity – visual storytelling, aesthetics, branding
🎤 Performance & Presence – connecting with your audience
💡 Creative Strategy – organizing ideas and unlocking new ones
🌀 Intuitive Guidance – sometimes you just need a sounding board

You don’t have to do this alone.

Whether you're a beginner or a more advanced artist, we’ll work with what’s already inside you — your instincts, your taste, your questions. Sessions are fully personalized and can be a one-time deep dive or part of a longer creative journey together.

Sound healing, also known as energy medicine, is recognized as one of the fastest holistic healing techniques, using specific sound vibrations to promote relaxation, balance energy, and support both physical and mental wellness. Techniques such as sound baths, chakra healing, and full body sound healing therapy are used to help address various conditions, including stress, anxiety, pain, and even some chronic diseases.

Sound healing operates on the principle of resonance and vibrational medicine, where specific frequencies interact with the body on a cellular and energetic level to restore harmony. The body, being largely made of water, conducts these vibrations effectively, allowing sound to impact tissues deeply and trigger physiological responses such as endorphin release and pain relief.
Techniques and Applications
Sound Bath: Involves immersion in the soothing vibrations of instruments like singing bowls and gongs, inducing a deep state of relaxation and meditation.

Chakra Healing: Targets the body’s energy centers by using sounds matched to each chakra frequency, aiding in emotional release and energy flow.

Therapy for Diseases: Some studies and practitioners report benefits of sound healing for conditions like high blood pressure, insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety, PTSD, and even support through cancer and behavioral disorders.

Full Body Healing: Promotes overall wellness by balancing mental, physical, and spiritual health, leaving individuals feeling refreshed and at peace.

Benefits of Sound Healing
Reduces stress, anxiety, tension, and fatigue.

Improves mental clarity, emotional well-being, and sleep quality.

Enhances blood circulation, lowers blood pressure, and supports natural healing.

Balances chakras, promotes deep relaxation, and fosters a spiritual sense of connection.

Sound healing is generally considered safe for most people, but those with certain sound sensitivities, epilepsy, or pregnancy should consult with practitioners before sessions.

I am a music teacher with a master's degree in music, and a performer with practical experience in both performance and teaching. I believe that everyone can learn music if guided in the right way. My goal is not just to teach you to play or sing, but to help you understand music as a complete language and express yourself through it confidently and professionally.

Singing: A comprehensive vocal training that includes self-control, pitch improvement, correct pronunciation, and performance development.

Music theory: Understanding musical notation, rhythm, scale, and harmony in a simplified and practical way.
Solfège: Reading sheet music, auditory training, musical dictation, and significantly strengthening the musical ear.

The educational program is based on the principle of organized progression, where learning is divided into clear stages:
Phase 1: Building the foundation from scratch, getting acquainted with the machine or sound, and understanding the basic principles.
Phase Two: Developing technical skills and starting practical application through exercises and musical works.
The third stage: Reaching an advanced level that includes musical expression, playing with confidence, and the ability to perform pieces or songs in a complete manner.
The fourth stage: the stage of relative professionalism, where the student becomes able to rely on himself, analyze music, and improvise, especially in Eastern music.

What makes these lessons unique:
A clear methodology that takes you from zero to professional in a gradual and well-thought-out manner.
A simple yet in-depth explanation, suitable for all levels.
Focus on practical application, not just memorization.
Combining playing instruments and singing to develop a complete musical sense.
Developing a musical ear and the ability to distinguish between tones and scales.
Building the student's self-confidence and encouraging them to perform and express themselves.

The teaching method is interactive and personalized, with each lesson tailored to the student's level and goals, whether learning is a hobby, developing a specific skill, or reaching a professional level. Customized exercises, continuous monitoring, and careful performance correction are provided to ensure genuine progress.

The lessons are suitable for children, teenagers, and adults, and no prior experience is required. They are also suitable for those with a foundation who wish to develop their skills systematically and professionally.

The lessons are delivered online in high quality, using clear teaching methods and direct communication to ensure student understanding and progress in each session. Assignments and exercises are also given between sessions to reinforce learning and accelerate development.

My name is Andre. I'm a professional musician with more than 10 years in the field. Despite Jazz being the main focus of my study and practice I've learned to love all genres and absorb each unique values and strengths. Having them integrated in the musical projects I've created or participated on. Projects which revolve around Jazz, Pop, Rock, Psychedelic, Electronic and Reggae.
Throughout my professional career I've worked with music schools and private students (+200). During this years I've encountered a plethora of different kinds of students, all levels ranging from kids to seniors and even a good quantity of autistic or down syndrome students, which always made me more and more interested in the art of teaching and helping people grow, by balancing challenge and empathy.

My lessons are characterized by a practical approach combined with a theoretical component, that always caters to the student's interests, stimulating their musical taste and creativity. For this, I like to go across the board with disciplines such as:
Musical Theory
Technique
Ear training
Performance
Composition
Improvisation
Band/project guidance
Study methodoly
Reportoire

My main objectives as a mentor are:

- To captivate students with music and their learning process

I am a concert pianist, composer, and writer! I have 30 years of teaching experience with all levels in different countries and 40 years of stage experience. I trained at the Gnessin Academy in Moscow in 2004.
I have been living and working in France since 2010.
Whether you are an experienced pianist or a beginner, you have already understood that music is not just about notes, but what lies behind them.

Do you want your playing to be more expressive, with a more human intonation? Do you wish to be able to breathe with your body during your performance? To play with all parts of your arm for a richer palette of colors and touches?

Do you need to play virtuoso passages without fatigue or wrong notes? To perform on stage from memory or with scores without fear?
Would you like to know how to use the pedal according to the style and period of the composer and understand his message?
If so, then I'll be waiting for you!
Online or at my home in Rambouillet, I give piano lessons in French, English and Russian.
See you soon !
