For students from beginner to intermediate level, I offer one-hour weekly lessons or 45 minutes for beginner children. We will be able to address questions of instrumental technique, and pieces from the repertoire chosen according to the student's level and musical tastes. Depending on needs and desires, the course can include learning by ear, working on music theory, reading scores, harmony, and improvisation. Depending on the repertoire, I accompany the students on the flute, guitar or piano. I have been a flautist for 20 years. I study in the jazz department of HEMU (Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne), but I also hold a Diploma of Musical Studies in classical transverse flute, obtained in Grenoble, France after more than 10 years of practicing the classical style. I also have knowledge of traditional Irish music acquired by practicing guitar and Irish flutes during dedicated sessions. I have already taught the flute at home, in music school and at the Regional Conservatory, to students from 8 to 30 years old, beginner to intermediate levels.

This course is aimed at beginners, with or without mastery of music writing. It will be possible to cover: - The basics of writing music, melodic (notation of pitches and rhythms on the staff) and harmonic (notation of chords); - The basics of classical and/or jazz harmony: notations, chord compositions, chord functions, modulations, etc. - Questions of form: what structure should you give to your piece? What are the "classic" forms? How to start/finish a piece? The course will be structured between: - on the one hand, the rereading of work composed by the student, in order to suggest avenues for development; - on the other hand, the teaching of the necessary or desired tools from the list above. My profile : I have been studying for a year in the "Performer Jazz" bachelor's degree in transverse flute at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne. With 20 years of instrumental practice, I began composing on my own by discovering computer-assisted music as a teenager. I then developed a more "written" composition style (on score) over the past 6 years during my studies at the Grenoble Conservatory (France). I obtained a Diploma of Musical Studies there rewarding 5 years of harmony and writing "in styles" which allowed me to appropriate the classical, baroque, romantic styles, of Fauré and Debussy, Bartok and Bill Evans. I also took free composition classes for 5 years. My experiences include the musical setting of a feature film for a piano-flute duo, the composition of pieces for solo piano, for chamber music ensembles, for small orchestras, for jazz quartet and septet.
