Music and Piano Lessons for non french-speaking people (from mothertongue into French)

From 42.71 $ /h

Even though music is universal, specific terms and method learning differ from one culture and another one. This is why I propose some individual courses of music and piano for people curions about discovering or maybe improving their artistic skills in the language of Moliere.

At the beginning of the lesson, the student will be trained by some theory, not the best part for most people. But with the help of mnemotechnic methods, those basics won't have a secret for him/her anymore ;)

Then, I will adapt the pratical part depending on the student's level...and will of course ;) He/She can bring the music piece he would like to play.

About Me
Each student has their own pace and sensitivity, and I am committed to creating tailor-made lessons that fit their needs and personality—whether in music or languages, from beginner to intermediate level.

I place great importance on the fun and creative aspect of learning: quizzes, word games, visual diagrams, interactive activities... So many tools to stimulate memory, concentration and above all, the pleasure of learning.

I ensure that my classes are spaces for listening and growth, where everyone can progress at their own pace, in a supportive environment. I am comfortable teaching in both French and English, and I am always open to new ideas and approaches.

My goal: to help my students gain autonomy, confidence, and to (re)discover the joy of learning, quite simply.

Let's speak English with passion... and efficiency!

🕐 First session: Discovery & objectives

During our first lesson, I take the time to get to know you:

➡️ Your level,
➡️ Your desires,
➡️ Your goals (academic, professional, travel, passion, etc.).

This will allow us to develop a tailor-made work plan that suits you 😊


🎯 Method: English through living practice

Rather than starting with dry theory, I propose an active and concrete approach:

💬 Free or targeted conversations,
🎭 Pronunciation exercises,
🎲 Fun games on Anglo-Saxon language and culture,
🎧 Role-playing or simulations (depending on your level).
The goal? To make you speak with pleasure, confidence, and naturally.


✍️ What if you like grammar or writing?
We can of course deepen the writing by:
📚 translations of book excerpts,
📝 typical sentences and key structures,
✒️ or even your own writings if you have any.


🌈 A lively, motivating and human learning experience
I firmly believe that we learn best when we talk about topics we're passionate about. So come as you are, with your tastes, your interests, your world.

The first minutes will be focused on the theory (in English, French or both if asked), and some culture of the western music. Then we will practise on the instrument. The the student can bring any sheets he wants. He will be advised on the manuel technic (how to place his/her hands, how to read efficiently).
