    Musical Awakening and Poetry Classes for Children

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    What does musical awakening bring to a child? In the first place, listening. It is the base of everything. It's not about making him a great musician. It is through the joy and pleasure of music that he must first apprehend this art, even before the reading of the notes and the practice of the instrument. Rhymes, songs and poems open up entertaining and recreational horizons perfectly adapted to the natural joy of children. The musical awakening is a seed that sows in any wind in the fertile soil of childhood.

    About Me

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    Born in Thonon-les-Bains, married, three children, I am a poet and musician, which allowed me to develop multiple skills in my professional life.

    • After-school teacher, I give musical awakening lessons for children. I also participate in MJC, cribs and private (guitar, ukulele, musical bells and percussion).

    • Passionate about languages, I offer French classes at home for foreign learners. With me, you can also discover a rare language whose disturbing resemblance to Russian will surprise you: Polish. So if you have a Polish girlfriend, family in Poland or the desire to travel to this country, come learn the language of Chopin, Corpernic and Marie Curie with me!

    • I also like reading and reading. In a context where the omnipresence of screens keeps children away from the pleasure of reading, I offer them an hour of calm around a book of their choice.

    • Singer-songwriter, I always have a guitar at hand. So, if you're mourning to see yours sleeping in the bottom of his bag, I propose a small handover for the greatest pleasure of your loved ones.

    Education

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    There is no diploma of poet, as a business card, I propose reading a poem of my composition:

    The fossil

    Suddenly arose from the bottom of the ages
    Figure engraved in granite
    I discovered on the beach
    A small Ammonite stone

    There was, thrown pell-mell
    In his esotheric spiral
    The breadcrumb trail where intertwines
    Old Homeric moons

    A first shock in the universe
    I live out of nothingness
    Stars, Sun, planets, Earth!
    And then vast oceans

    It was at the dawn of a new day
    At a time when volcanoes roar
    There were great waters
    Scattered monsters populated

    A sky of fire, streaked with lightning
    Like a cooking pot lid
    And suddenly, flying in the air
    A giant meteorite

    And then finally, a shell
    Who in a single burst of eyelash,
    Brought me back from this trip
    And of which I keep the fossil

    Stéphane

    Experience / Qualifications

    Translated by Google. Click to view original.
    • MUSICAL AWAKENING: I intervene in the schools of Ballaison and Loisin as well as the MJC of Douvaine since 2014.

    • LANGUAGE COURSES: I have been teaching at home (French as a Foreign Language and Polish) since 2011.

    • READING SUPPORT: I have been offering tutoring classes in reading since 2011.

    • GUITAR COURSES: I write poetry, I play and I compose music since my very first youth.
    Singer-songwriter, I always have a guitar at hand. So, if you're mourning to see yours sleeping in the bottom of his bag, I propose a small handover for the greatest pleasure of your loved ones. • Learning or remembering the first agreements. • Learn to be accompanied by singing. (in agreement or in arpeggio) • Study of simple pieces. (French or English variety, children's songs)
    The mastery of French is an essential condition for a good integration. How can you pass your employment exams, find a job or complete your integration process without a good level of French? To understand the essential points of the language, to be able to express oneself clearly at work, at school or in the leisures, to better live one's expatriation. I propose you an apprenticeship of the French language in the form of individual lessons at home. During this training, the uses, principles and values of Francophone societies will also be discussed. • Basic French • Oral and written communication • French adapted to the task • Curriculum and teaching materials provided I can also offer you conversation classes.
    Support to strengthen reading skills, for children or adults. Helps to memorize phonemes / graphemes by means of short dedicated poems. Reading aloud of texts and poems by the child or the worker. An artistic expression in its own right, reading aloud enhances the book with regard to the child in a context where the multiplication of screens tends to diminish his concentration abilities. She promotes attentive listening and develops her faculties of imagination. Prose or poetry, the texts proposed are often the fruit of a work of personal creation or drawn from the literary heritage. Opportunity to read to the elderly and / or visually impaired.
    Discover a rare language whose disturbing resemblance to Russian will surprise you: Polish. Married to a polonaise, I discovered this country in the 1990s. I lived and worked there from 1994 to 1998. With a practical experience of more than 20 years, I feel a great pleasure to teach. So if you have a Polish girlfriend, family in Poland or the desire to travel to this country, come learn the language of Chopin, Corpernic and Marie Curie with me!

    Violin lessons: Fun-Filled journey! Lessons for children and adults!
    Hello everyone! My musical journey began when I was just four years old, starting with the piano. Later, at the age of seven, I eagerly embraced the violin, adding its enchanting melodies to my repertoire. I achieved a professional mid-grade in both piano and violin. Fueled by my love for music, I moved to Rotterdam, Netherlands, to pursue a Bachelor's degree at Codarts University of Arts. Under the guidance of teachers like Natasha Morozova and Hed Yaron Meyerson, I refined my skills and nurtured my artistic vision. After completing my Bachelor's studies, I continued my musical exploration in Codarts' Master's program. Alongside my classical training, I've always been intrigued by the therapeutic potential of music. In 2023, I earned certification in Music Therapy, expanding my horizons and deepening my connection to the healing power of music. In collaboration with my colleagues, I am member of the Olga Trio. Our mission is to highlight the works of women composers throughout history. Our debut performance at the IV Concurso Nacional de Interpretación de Obras de Mujeres Compositoras was a proud moment, affirming our commitment to amplifying diverse voices in music. Beyond classical music, I've always been drawn to exploring different genres and styles. As a member of the Jong Metropole Orchestra in 2023, I relished the opportunity to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional musical conventions. In every note I play and every project I undertake, my passion for music shines through. It's a journey of exploration, growth, and discovery, and I'm excited to continue sharing my love for music with the world. I've been teaching during the last 8 years. I am flexible with the students needs and I embrace fun and creativity in my lessons.
