***** MUSIC APPRECIATION *****

What can it be more rewarding for somebody who loves and lives for music than to be able to transmit this love? For me musical education is not about teaching or instructing knowledge, but about stimulating the capacities and qualities of children (or of any human being) and help to develop them naturally and correctly to be able to attain the command of this way of expression. Every child has got human capacities that allows him to make music, we must only guide them to develop these innate faculties and give the resources that will give hem the freedom of expressing through this fabulous art.

The awakening and development of musical capacities like auditory perception, rhythmic sense, melodic sense, tonal sense, motricity... are very useful for the physiological and affective development of the child during the early age, and they will form the bases of a future conscious and intellectual music education which will lead to the domain of musical language (reading, writing and performing).

***** MUSIC THEORY *****

I believe that is very important to be able to understand music from its deepness. Learning theory and harmony (analysis, counterpoint, composition...) helps us to enjoy music more, either through playing an instrument or listening to it. Furthemore, these subjects can be taught and explained in a serious but pleasant way: let’s be amused by the wonderful world and language of music!

I love to express and transmit my knowledge and passion for music from the younger ones; to give everyone the resources to develop their skills and their love for this precious form of art.

I prepare students for ABRSM, Trinity-Guildhall, GCSE and A Levels exams.

***** PIANO ******

To start an instrument is a wonderful moment for any person’s life, either child or adult, and it is the right moment to help the young beginner to love and value the instrument he/she is playing; to show to him/her the fantastic resource he/she has in his/her hands and overall to make him/her enjoy music and the way to express it through this instrument. The meeting of a good companion for the rest of his/her life!

Individual lessons for beginners to advanced students.

***** CHAMBER MUSIC *****

For two or more children/adults who play instruments and who would like to play, learn more about performance and have fun together. Any instruments are possible, and repertoire can be arranged. It is an amazing way to enjoy music and learn!
