Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language. :)

My educational background: I hold a Master of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia.

My piano lessons are built around enjoying the music, and understanding how it works. For children, I use interactive games and fun songs - equally for adults too! I can help you prepare for exams, and provide aid on music theory and history.

I have been playing piano since I was six years old. I also play the cello (since I was 9 years old).

Extra information
We will use your keyboard/piano.
Bring your own sheet music or I can help choose/provide repertoire

Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language.

My educational background: I hold a Masters of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia.

I am offering guided relaxation classes (in French or English). This is based on the Jacobson method. The price includes participation of up to 4 people!

The aim of these classes is to release stress, reduce physical and mental tensions, and come away feeling relaxed, refreshed and more calm. I guide you through a series of light muscular contractions and breathwork. The session can be down lying down, or seated - whichever is most comfortable. Each session lasts from 30mins to an hour. It includes a time to verbalise at the end of the session. Sessions can be held individually, or in a group - please precise in booking if there are additional people (an extra fee may apply).

I am a declared EI and a have a valid SIRET number as well as professional insurance for my activity.

Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language.

My educational background: I hold a Masters of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia.

As a native English speaker my goal is to instill confidence in my students (of all ages) of their ability to speak, use, and understand English. I use a variety of interactive methods including songs, actions, rhymes, books, and music. I am firm believer in 'trying' and as such I will encourage my students to use their English, regardless of how many faults they may make. It is only from making errors, that we can improve! Additionally, I am happy to work on assignments, test preparation, or any other English homework which may need completing. I can provide homework, or extension tasks as required.

My lessons are largely immersion based, and as such I will avoid the use of French, unless an explanation is needed for clarity. I am happy to adapt to the needs of my students.

I have been teaching English in France since 2019. Prior to arriving in France, I tutored for over two years in Australia, aiding students from ages 8 to 17 with a variety of subjects including English, maths, science, music, and french. I have extensive experience with children: I have been a scout leader since 2020 in Marseille, and have been involved with Girl Guides Australia since I was 7 years old, eventually leading a group of 10-17 year olds for over 4 years before arriving to France.

I am located near Metro Prado, but can travel throughout Marseille. Depending on distance, travel costs may be in addition to class fees.

I have a valid working with children background check in Australia, and hold first aid qualifications in France (PSC1).

Dorian
Professional musician, teacher for 20 years, 3 gold medals at the conservatory. Take piano lessons at any age, at your home or mine, or by video.

The piano is my first instrument and means a lot to me. Already present at my birth, I started as soon as I could reach the keyboard. Then studied classical from 6 to 12 years old at the Nice Conservatory, then I continued in jazz.
The piano is at the same time the most complete instrument and the simplest which is, a real orchestra under the fingers, the visualization of the keys making the instrument King of the theory, of the harmony and of the musical comprehension, which will open the doors to all your musical desires, either perfecting you on the piano, or giving you an incomparable basis for starting another instrument, or just enjoying music as a connoisseur.

Methodology:
The course adapts to the student's profile, objectives, and repertoire preferences. My lessons are subject to a minimum of regular practice, left to my discretion.
I also like to allow adults to resume and / or develop their game, which I have often done, so do not hesitate.
The study of the piano requires seriousness, but always in a good mood :-).

See you soon.
