Graduate of the DESS in film music from UQAM, I also completed a license (bac) in music and musicology at the University of Burgundy (France).

I teach music theory for all levels; whether from the explanation of what a scale is to writing techniques and classical or jazz harmony.

These courses will allow you to better understand, among other things, which chords flow together well and why, and will help you in your compositions and arrangements, or even allow you to broaden your language during improvisations.

My courses are generally composed of a theoretical part, an application and an analysis.

A master's student at Concordia University and a cellist at the Orchestre Symphonique de l'Isle, I offer cello lessons for beginners and intermediate musicians. Having studied music at the Massenet Conservatory in Saint-Étienne (France) and through the Electroacoustics minor at Concordia, I have 18 years of experience with the instrument and 10 years of orchestral practice. The courses aim to support the instrumentalist in their development, as well as in their first steps, including the basics of music theory and ear training.

English follows

I am a graduate of the highest music schools and universities in Switzerland (HEMU Lausanne, HEM Geneva) and in Canada (McGill Schulich School of Music, Montreal).
I give my lessons at home / online but I also travel if necessary.
I teach cello technique using various teaching methods with great classics such as Navarra, Lee, Feuillard, Dotzauer, Popper, Starker and many more...
I teach for all levels: beginners - adults - intermediate, advanced and professional and in various styles of music: classical, jazz and world music, (Eastern Europe, Balkans, Near and Middle East, Asia Minor, North Africa and Brazil).

I work a lot on posture in my teaching, because it is an element that I believe is essential in teaching a musical instrument and which is unfortunately not taken seriously or considered enough. I had the chance to work with Mrs. Aude Hauser who is a recognized physiotherapist in Switzerland and Europe specialized in musicians.

I am a certified teacher from the Conservatories and Higher Music Schools of Switzerland, but also from the Association of Graduate Music Teachers of Quebec (APMQ), as well as universities in Canada.
Instrument-wise, I also have a small cello collection, to be discussed.
I also teach on weekends, depending on my availability.

Hi to everybody! :)

My name is Stef, I am a lyrical singer from Barcelona who currently lives in Montréal (and I love it!).

I teach singing, piano and musical theory for ALL AGES and GENRES!

About SINGING, I am going to teach you how to use your voice in a healthy way.
In class, we'll learn about:
- Body awareness
- Support (yes, we'll talk about the diaphragm!)
- Breathing
- Phonation
- Tuning
- Phrasing
- Declamation
- Projection
- Confidence
- Stage presence
- Communication through emotions
- Piano self-accompaniment (so you can give proper concerts to your beloved ones!)
- And MORE!!

If you feel interested about the vocal world and you want to begin or improve and expand your knowledge, drop me a line. Tell me which repertoire you want to work with and let's sing it!

About PIANO and MUSICAL THEORY lessons, they are based on a super piano book. With that and my technique you'll learn a lot! For kids, I have several books that are fantastic for them as well!

Also, I'm here to help you with your EXAMS and AUDITIONS :)

My philosophy is QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. To achieve that, it's important to establish a trust-based relationship between us. My lessons are taken in a comfortable and open-minded environment. I find this point essential to feel free and make music from the heart.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't hesitate to contact me to book your first lesson! It will be a big pleasure to work with you :)

Remember: FUN is mandatory! :D

I am a bandoneon professor graduated from the "Manuel de Falla" Conservatory of Buenos Aires, Argentina, I worked as a teacher in several conservatories and music schools in Argentina and Uruguay, until I moved to Montreal in 2020.
The lessons and materials are adapted to each student and their goals.

Many people think that the bandoneon is a complicated instrument, however, I believe that it all depends on the approach...

Please contact me to schedule since the availability chart is tentative.

-- I also teach in english --

My lessons are for anyone wishing to approach the piano in a personalized way, regardless of the style and level targeted.
I divide my teaching into equal parts between theory (melody, harmony and rhythm) and practice (all pieces of your choice), the aim being to offer you a grid of global understanding of writing and musical interpretation.
I start from the principle that you have to have fun from the start, while looking for a high level of autonomy.

-- About me --

Having grown up abroad (in the Central African Republic then in Saudi Arabia), I had the chance to learn the piano through an eclectic teaching.
In particular, I was a student of Gulmira Abdukhalikova, a Kazakh concert artist now based in Abu-Dhabi, who made me progress by applying the famous "Russian method". At 13, I won 3rd place in the International Piano Competition of Île de France at Maisons-Lafitte.

At the end of my adolescence, I participated in the Big Band of the Children of Jazz, within the framework of a festival organized each year in Barcelonette by Stéphane Kochoyan (who was also, at the time, artistic director of the Jazz Festival in Vienna).

Subsequently, I set sail for Canada where I lived for six years. I co-animated several Open-Mics of poetry, as a pianist-improviser, and I produced two albums: "Fragments" (2018) and "Echoes of space-time" (2019), the latter having been 100% improvised and recorded "one-shot" in the studio.
At the end of 2020, three years after having started giving piano lessons in Canada and France, I publish "The method of the self-taught pianist" as well as my own sight-reading manual.

My goal is to inspire my students to learn music and a skillset they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

concerts or bands with their own songs, what will we experience there and how to deal with it!
Of course, we will see rudiments, musical and technical reading, we will also work with songs and their recording process, necessary tools whatever path you want to take in music.

Hello!

I give piano lessons for beginners.
My lessons are divided into 2 parts (theoretical part - 30 minutes and practical part - 30 minutes), especially at the beginning.

For the music you will learn, you can choose it or I can provide it to you. We can discuss it. Same thing for the musical genres.

With pleasure!

Whether you’re picking up the violin for the first time, returning after a break, or looking to refine advanced repertoire, I offer personalized lessons designed to meet your goals.
With over fifteen years of teaching experience and a career as a professional violinist, I have worked with students of all ages and levels. My approach is both rigorous and encouraging: I emphasize strong technical foundations, musical expression, and efficient practice habits, while keeping lessons engaging and tailored to each student’s interests.
Lessons can focus on classical repertoire, technique, audition preparation, or even creative projects such as arranging and cross-genre playing. I also integrate elements of music theory, ear training, and performance skills to give students a well-rounded musical education.
My priority is helping each student progress with confidence, enjoyment, and a deeper love for music.
