PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

For the past three years, I have been teaching cello in music schools and within musical associations in France. This experience has allowed me to work with a wide variety of students: children who are beginners or already musicians, teenagers, adult beginners, as well as people wishing to take up the cello again after several years of interruption.

This diversity of students has convinced me of one thing: there is no single right way to learn music. That's why I adapt my teaching methods to each individual, taking into account their age, level, needs, personality, and above all, their goals.

For children: I aim to create an environment that is structured, fun, and motivating. Technical learning remains essential, but it must be accompanied by curiosity and enjoyment. I use a variety of exercises and tools, sometimes more innovative ones, to make musical concepts concrete and facilitate understanding. The goal is to allow the child to progress while gradually developing their autonomy and confidence.

For adults: Have you always wanted to learn the cello? Did you start when you were younger and want to pick it up again? It's never too late to rediscover the joy of playing. I adapt to each person's pace, without imposing any predefined goals. We can work on the basics, gradually review technique, explore a repertoire you love, or delve deeper into specific aspects according to your interests.
I can also integrate music theory concepts directly into instrumental work when it is useful.

Above all, I want to share my passion: beyond technique, what motivates me in teaching is the act of passing on knowledge. I love seeing a student overcome a difficulty, understand something new, and above all, gain confidence in their playing.
My goal is for each lesson to allow students to progress, discover and enjoy making music.

I am currently pursuing my advanced cello studies at the Haute École de Musique (HEMU) in Lausanne, while continuing to develop my teaching experience.

Whether you are a beginner, wish to take up the cello again or are looking to improve your skills, I will be happy to build with you a tailor-made teaching program that truly corresponds to your musical project.
