About Me

Listening and attentive teacher

I am French but I come from Belgium. I want to become a harp teacher and I want to have experience giving private lessons that will help me reach my goal. In addition to that, I am still a student in the same field.

My first goal and to promote the harp, this instrument liked but a little unknown. I wish to make it discover to all, big and small through courses to share with them my personal experience.
I want to work with motivated students, even if they do not have a lot of time to work between classes for personal reasons. My greatest pleasure is to see a person love his instrument and get close to it at his own pace.
My learning process changes depending on the personality of the student, but I try to develop a logical sense in relation to music, but also a capacity for imitation.

I propose saxophone lessons for all ages, all levels, and in all styles. I have been running private lessons for 25 years, as well as giving workshops and master classes in colleges and universities. During a lesson I encourage the student to work on: posture, breathing and the position of the mouth (embouchure), helping the projection of sound; the development of the tone; i teach the student how to phrase and play a beautiful melody; techniques of improvisation; understanding harmony; having confidence in his/her playing skills; techniques of listening and interacting with the rhythm section; learning new songs and experiencing different styles of music; Introductions to key saxophonists. Above all i encourage my students to have fun with music! Course locations: Paris 13th and neighbouring arrondissements. Languages: French, English. I have been working as a Professional for 25 years, I have toured all over the world. I am also a composer with six albums under my name.
I'll be very happy to meet with you!
Musically, Rob

I offer private teaching services in Paris and the surrounding 92 suburbs area, including Meudon, Clamart, Malakoff, Saint-Cloud, Neuilly-sur-Seine, and more.
The lessons can be conducted either at the student's residence or at my own.

During our sessions, we will cover a wide range of topics including musical theory, technique, note reading, chords and tabs, developing musical ear, and learning how to play your favorite songs in various styles. These styles encompass pop, rock, blues, oriental, classical music, and more.

My teaching philosophy is centered around making the learning process enjoyable and accessible because I believe that learning should be fun and easy and should develop simple and fun methods to rapidly improve your skills on Guitar/Piano.

Music education is all about understanding the language of music theory, interact with music harmony, and express through rhythm and melodies. Through these lessons, the student of any discipline, level or instrument, can explore his own direction and interest in modern music. Lessons consist of music listening suggestions and techniques, theory and harmony, rhythmic classes, performance, improvisation and technique. Together we will come to an understanding of your personal musical needs, work through your personal interest in music and expand on your knowledge, discipline and interest.

Through my lessons I wish to share with you all the fruits of the teaching that I have been able to receive during my years of conservatory accompanied by M.Jean Muller. Indeed, I won a 1st prize in piano, a diploma at the end of the musical training cycle as well as a first mention in sight-reading, accompaniment and harmony. I validated these different diplomas during my two years of conservatory which followed my two years of teaching with a private teacher.
The speed of my progress is explained by the involvement but also by the work techniques that I adopted quite quickly in order to evolve as quickly as possible.
Over the course I will therefore be able to teach the principles of music theory as well as the very practice of the instrument and everything that surrounds it.
It is therefore with enormous enthusiasm that I wish to teach students who are interested in practicing the piano.
My young age also gives me the advantage of a very friendly and accessible relationship.
Regarding my availability, I can be quite flexible depending on where you live.
I can give my lessons in French, English or Spanish.

The courses I offer are aimed at almost all levels up to DEM.

Graduated from the American School of Modern Music, I offer bass lessons for beginners, intermediate or advanced levels looking for ways to work. I adapt to everyone's desires and favorite styles, whether it's Hip-hop, Jazz, Blues, Pop, City Pop, Rock, Punk, Funk, Metal, World, etc. . My goal is above all to accompany you in your musical adventure. Also I can help you prepare for auditions (for a group or a music school), improve your phrasing, develop your game or simply teach you your favorite songs.

Classes can take place at my home, yours or via Skype. I offer lessons of 1h, 1h30 and 2 hours according to needs and desires.

Having several basses (4 strings, 5 strings, acoustic, fretless) I gladly lend an instrument to students who come to my home, which can be practical if the lesson takes place after work or study hours. For lessons at home, I bring an ABY pedal that allows two people to play on the same amp, making the lesson more practical and more fun!

Thank you for reading this announcement and have a nice day,

Celia

After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning.

I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc.
For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!)
Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other!

One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it.

I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and a distinction in Fashion Communication which included my music playing at Central Saint Martins. I also have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before.

The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.

Music can be learned at any age!

A state-certified jazz and contemporary piano teacher from Pôle Sup' 93, I offer lessons for children, teenagers, and adults of all levels. I am also a composer and arranger. I teach at rue Marceau (tram Maryse Bastié or metro Pierre et Marie Curie).
Whether you are a complete beginner, classically trained, or an advanced self-taught learner, my courses are for you, in group or private lesson format.

GROUP WORKSHOPS

--- Registrations open for the 2026 academic year ---
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Give your child—or yourself—a joyful, stimulating, and collaborative musical experience! My teaching method is based on the American Piano Safari program, renowned for its modern, playful approach and its perfectly structured technical progression. I adapt this benchmark curriculum to the group format by incorporating a specific repertoire of pieces for four and six hands, so you can learn music with both pleasure and rigor.

Around the same piano, students alternate between individual practice and group playing, thus promoting listening, rhythm and mutual motivation.

Three routes adapted to each age group:
"Piano Awakening" (MS and GS): Safari Friend Piano
"Little Beginners" (Primary School): Piano Safari
"Absolute beginners" (teens and adults): Piano Safari for the Older Student

My workshop formats
The workshops last 45 minutes and take place every week during the school term (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, times to be defined together).

6-hands workshop (3 students per group)
Target audience: Piano awakening and young beginners (from kindergarten to primary school)

Four-hands workshop (2 students per group)
Audience: Piano awakening, young beginners and advanced beginners (from kindergarten onwards, with no age limit).

A comprehensive and modern teaching method
Much more than just a piano lesson, these workshops offer a comprehensive musical education:

Balanced Reading/Imitation: Learning alternates smoothly between written (reading sheet music) and oral (imitating the teacher) approaches. This dual method allows for the development of solid sight-reading skills while simultaneously freeing the ear and technical skill. To complement this training, an introduction to improvisation is integrated from the very first lessons, enabling each student to approach the piano creatively.

Technique & Theory: Acquiring the fundamentals (posture, flexibility, coordination) is based on the creative world of Piano Safari. Each technical movement is associated with an animal: the kangaroo's jump, the lion's touch, the giraffe's walk, etc. These powerful images allow students to naturally anchor the correct movement in their minds and bodies, transforming technical difficulties into child's play. This solid foundation is then applied to a varied repertoire, from classical to blues.

Digital Tools: To facilitate personal practice, most pieces include MP3 recordings of the "teacher" part and demonstration videos. Students can therefore practice playing duets at home and review technical skills independently between lessons.

Why choose a group workshop?
The small group format transforms learning piano into a shared adventure. It's the ideal solution for fostering a lasting love of playing, as it addresses three essential needs:

Boosted motivation: learning alongside peers creates a natural emulation. We encourage each other, we progress together, and the feeling of loneliness, which can sometimes discourage students alone at home, disappears in favor of a stimulating group dynamic.

Less stress, more confidence: performing in front of others becomes a natural and positive habit rather than a source of apprehension. The group reduces the pressure of individual performance and allows technical challenges to be approached with greater ease.

The joy of sharing: music is, by its very nature, a language of communication. By playing with 4 or 6 hands, students develop valuable listening skills (rhythm, balance of sounds) and immediately experience the satisfaction of producing a rich and harmonious collective work.

The stage: two highlights of the year
Because music is meant to be shared, the year is punctuated by two concerts that allow everyone's progress to be celebrated in a warm atmosphere:

The winter concert (December): a friendly gathering to close out the first term. It's an opportunity for students to present their first group pieces and experience the magic of a small concert, ideal for gently building confidence.
The spring concert (May/June): it's the culmination of the year! This event allows us to present a more elaborate repertoire, to showcase the technical work done and to share the pleasure of playing together in front of family and friends.

These regular performances allow one to become comfortable on stage naturally, to give concrete meaning to weekly work and to transform the effort into immense shared pride.
