About Me

Hello!

I'm a Canadian pianist, recently moved to Switzerland to pursue additional studies at the Haute École de Musique de Genève.

I really enjoy sharing what I do with others – helping them overcoming obstacles in playing the piano and improving their pianistic skills is always a pleasure for me. I'm very patient and enthusiastic in my teaching; having been a student my whole life (and I hope to continue learning in this way!), I know how wonderful it can be when you meet someone who is open to helping you through your personal challenges based on your individual background so I really aim for that type of teaching. I'm there to help in any way I can.

As a bonus, my doctoral research pertains to the neuropsychology of learning and the most efficient way to develop a skill – my goal is to help you develop the skills necessary to become an independent learner. I have a lot of tricks from my research and own experiences which I'd be more than glad to share!

Very happy to help you work towards whatever goals you may have, whether it be starting to play the piano or preparing for competitions or exams.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

Had my first piano lesson with Cindy and it was great! Easy to understand and very clear explanations! She prepared great material for the class! :)
Excellent first lesson. Our girls really liked Cindy and enjoyed their lessons. Well done!
Cindy is an excellent piano teacher. The fact that my son (11) is fully engaged and practices without any prompting is a testament to Cindy's professional but relaxed and fun approach to teaching. I would recommend Cindy without reservation!

Learn the basics of music theory, learn piano technique and repertoire.
With several years of experience as a piano and harpsichord teacher, as well as an organ and harpsichord accompanist, I have developed solid expertise in various musical styles. Specializing in classical and baroque music, I remain open to other stylistic universes, which has allowed me to explore Latin American and traditional music repertoires. My lessons adapt to the needs and desires of each student. Together, we build a personalized program based on their level, musical tastes and goals.

Piano lessons / music theory / rhythm / accompaniment / composition etc..
Regardless of your age or your professional background, you are welcome to take piano lessons ranging from classical to jazz, including current and traditional world music and even film music! I also teach notions of music theory, improvisation and composition as a bonus. Let your creative imagination run free! Music brings a lot. Whether it's emotions, personal satisfaction, moments of grace, whether you're a spectator or on stage, encounters and exchanges that are so interesting with other musicians... My goal is to send you enough motivation and pleasure so that you never give up on this inexhaustible source of joy and discovery.

Esther
Private piano lessons in Lausanne and Pully all levels
Practicing the piano since the age of 4, I obtained in 2020 my DEM (Diploma of musical studies) from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Strasbourg (Alsace) (equivalent to the Swiss Certificate). I am now a bachelor's student in opera singing and piano at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne since September 2020. In parallel with my studies, I have always enjoyed sharing what I myself have the chance to continue to learn, so much so that I have been giving private piano lessons for 3 years. I believe that for the student to get the most out of his course, a great adaptability of the teacher is necessary. I therefore build my lessons according to the wishes of the student, both in the choice of the pieces he/she would like to play and in the space where the lessons take place, so that his practice of music does him good. ! It is therefore essential for me that the framework where the student practices his instrument invites him to feel confident, happy and relaxed and that the music is above all a source of pleasure, and not a constraint. My lessons include a "music theory" part, depending on your starting level, beginner or not. I come to your home if you wish, but can also receive you at my home in Pully.

Matthias
Guitar, bass, piano and voice lessons at home
I have been teaching piano, guitar, bass and singing for more than 10 years to students of all ages, I like to work on a register oriented on the tastes of the student to ensure his motivation, while giving him the best bases and technical elements necessary for its progression. I work on the practice of the instrument above all, with moments devoted to the development of the ear as well as a little musical theory. I teach the basics of music theory, and use tablatures (guitar reference system) for guitar and bass lessons. I spend a lot of time in the studio and unfortunately take few students, but I still have a few places left! I also teach in English!

Célia
Violin lessons for all Fr / Ang (solfeggio included).
As a violinist: I am currently a student at the Geneva University of Music, after having followed the pre-professional course at the Conservatoire de Musique de Genève. During my career, I won several prizes such as the Vatelot Rampal competition in Paris and the Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland soloist, and string quartet (alongside Julie Berthollet in particular). I also attended the Indianapolis University Academy summer internship. As a Pedagogue: in addition to sporadically giving individual lessons for 4 years, I was part of the "Jeunesses Musicales of Switzerland" youth and youth internship team for three consecutive years. Overall, my goal is to allow my students to have fun making music, to express themselves as they wish and hear, with their instrument! I adapt the rhythm of my teaching, my teaching materials, the choice of songs to each, according to the requests that are made to me. My classes can also take the status of personal work support; in this case, students can obviously bring me their scores worked with their main teacher, or those they play in chamber music / orchestra. In short: The violin is an art, it learns yes, but we play! :)
