Graduate of the Geneva University of Music, with over 20 years of experience teaching piano, teaches children and adults of all levels.

Hello,
Welcome to my world!
My name is Laurence. I have been playing the piano since I was 5 years old and I have been teaching it for over 20 years. I have experience teaching children from the age of 5 and adults of all levels.

A graduate of the conservatories of Aix-en-Provence (DEM) and Montpellier (DEM) in France, I completed my studies at the Geneva University of Music, where I earned a Master of Arts in piano pedagogy. Alongside my musical pursuits, I am an avid dancer and have participated in numerous international partner dance competitions. I organize many auditions for my students, as well as dance and piano performances.

I am dynamic, caring, but also demanding and a perfectionist. I will not only be your teacher or your child's teacher, but also a coach, to motivate you, challenge you, help you push your limits, manage your emotions, and overcome your fears. You will learn patience and perseverance. You will also develop body awareness in space through posture work.

Come and develop your unique artistic potential. Music is not just an art, it's a life lesson.

Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

My goal is to develop the best motivation scenario for each student and each situation to be able to achieve short and long term goals in the most effective, deep and captivating way possible. So, here is my way of working in a few lines:

Learn the language of music through improvisation, writing, movement, body and instrument in a progressive way.

Discover and contextualize the elements that create and connect sounds and rhythms.

Develop these skills from play and vocal and instrumental practice.

Practice the instrument from the first lessons.

To have the keys to approach the musical language and the reading of the partitions.

Approach the technical aspects of the instrument in a fun and creative way.

Discover the magic of this musical world from the needs and expectations of students in an environment conducive to learning, listening and communication, essential elements for making music and for life.

"Music education is actually the education of the person" according to Claudio Abbado.

Teacher available, flexible and easy to communicate with. Home tutoring.

The viola has been my instrument since I was little. Graduated in musical education from the Haute Ecole de Musique in Geneva, I now teach in primary schools with the aim of transmitting this passion.
Patient and loving to work with all ages, I adapt and find a solution to help the learning of the instrument and thus the memorization of lessons and pieces.

I can also learn the basics of music theory and help afterwards.
I give lessons for beginner Viola, intermediate and help for advanced.

Welcome,

I am a singing teacher, a student of lyrical singing at the Geneva Conservatory of Music since the age of nine and of modern singing at the Institute of Complete Vocal Education in Geneva since 2009.

I offer private and group lessons at home (between Geneva and Thonon). I can also welcome students to their homes in Veigy.
I teach in English or in English.

I guide the student through the initiation to singing and the establishment of reflexes essential to their practice. Generally speaking, these points include body/facial posture, breathing, accuracy, and rhythm. At the same time, I encourage them to discover and practice each mode, color, and effect that can be achieved with the voice.

I use the piano and/or guitar as support.

I also offer recording and looping sessions as well as support in songwriting.

The voice is a personal and complex instrument, which is why I adapt each lesson to the goals and personalities of my students.

See you soon!
Eleonore

At the moment I am studying at the magistracy of the composition department in Haute école de musique de Genève. In addition, I already have two full educations - choral (secondary) and composer (higher). I graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory as a composer, took part in concerts and competitions in Russia, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland as a choir singer or pianist. I also participated in international educational programs and seminars for composers:
-International Academy of Composers in Tchaikovsky (Perm, Russia; September 2019)
- Composer courses of the reMusik festival in St. Petersburg (Mai 2019)
-International seminar for composers from MolOt-ensemble in St. Petersburg (November 2018)

I have a great pedagogical experience of individual and group lessons (tutoring and working as a teacher at the summer city music camp in the St. Petersburg Academic chapel)

I write music for piano, instrumental ensembles, choir, orchestra and electronics.

I work with students of any level:
-With children (development of basic musical skills)
-With adults (we’ll build the lessons plan you need)
-With students preparing to enter a higher educational institution (preparation for exams, closing certain gaps in knowledge)

It's going to be a pleasure helping you. See you soon in our class!

From 2019 to 2021, I took piano lessons at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève for 2 years as a secondary instrument.

I have been immersed in music, and particularly the piano, for over 40 years. I was trained by concert professors, who were themselves trained by the greatest (my own professor's piano teacher was taught by Alfred Cortot). I learned music theory at the Conservatoire and harmony and counterpoint at the HEM in Geneva. At the same time, I have a Bachelor's degree in Musicology from the Université des Lettres de Genève. This allows me not only to teach the essential basics of music to students, but also to place each style and each composer in its historical context. This greatly facilitates learning.

I teach all types of music, from classical to modern pop, including film music and more recent composers like Ludovico Einaudi. My goal is to give the student a good harmonic foundation and a good musical ear so that they can be independent in what they want to play and always have the pleasure of sitting down at the piano!
My classes are aimed at beginners of all ages (children or adults) with no musical knowledge, as well as advanced students or those who want to prepare for theoretical or practical exams. The scores will always be chosen in agreement with the student, according to their objectives and desired progress, mixing all musical styles (classical, pop, film music, etc.) so that they always have fun playing their instrument. Each student is unique, which is why each lesson is prepared individually to meet their aspirations or objectives. It is very important to me that the course takes place in a kind and sharing atmosphere, with discussion.

For children, I can conduct regular interviews with parents in person or by phone (after each lesson if necessary) to report on the progress made and the achievement of desired objectives. I am very flexible regarding the wishes of each student and therefore adapt easily to any situation. The strong points of the lessons:
• In all styles (classical, contemporary, modern hits, film music)
• All levels, courses in French • Possibility of courses or additional courses in English or Russian if necessary
• All ages (for children under 6 years old, lessons of 15-20 minutes maximum with adapted price)
• Organization of recitals in the presence of parents and the public in a friendly atmosphere
• Kindness
• Adaptation to each student, definition of objectives individually
• The student can choose certain pieces that he would like to play
• Improvisation: learning improvisation techniques so that the student can play pieces on the piano naturally and without sheet music.
• For children: regular interviews with parents in person or by telephone (after each lesson if necessary) to report on progress made and achievement of desired objectives
• Discount from the 2nd student per family
• Listening to each student
• Always in kindness and benevolence
• Theory and practice are taught in parallel so that the student always enjoys everything they do. Possibility of taking the two separately (either piano or music theory)
• Share my passion for music
• Patience
• Piano 4 hands
• Canton of Geneva – free travel
