Having recently obtained my masters degree in Music from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I have been teaching piano, music theory and electroacoustic music for 8 years.

As a former student of the Conservatoire de Musique of Geneva and a music technology undergrad, I offer a tailored program to your needs and wishes. Be it classical jazz or pop music or music theory, composition and improvisation (or all of these!), I will gladly instruct you in a friendly and playful way.

Graduated with a master's degree in Music and Environment at the University of the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, I offer piano, music theory and electroacoustic music lessons for all ages.

Both classical piano training with years of study at the Geneva Conservatory and electroacoustic training with a bachelor's degree in music technology, I provide a program adapted to the needs and desires of each student. With seven years of experience under my belt and having had students of all ages and backgrounds, I gladly teach classical pieces, jazz, pop, but also music theory or even composition or improvisation. At the same time, I also teach electroacoustic composition to children.

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! :)

At the moment I am studying at the magistracy of the composition department in Haute école de musique de Genève. In addition, I already have two full educations - choral (secondary) and composer (higher). I graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory as a composer, took part in concerts and competitions in Russia, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland as a choir singer or pianist. I also participated in international educational programs and seminars for composers:
-International Academy of Composers in Tchaikovsky (Perm, Russia; September 2019)
- Composer courses of the reMusik festival in St. Petersburg (Mai 2019)
-International seminar for composers from MolOt-ensemble in St. Petersburg (November 2018)

I have a great pedagogical experience of individual and group lessons (tutoring and working as a teacher at the summer city music camp in the St. Petersburg Academic chapel)

I write music for piano, instrumental ensembles, choir, orchestra and electronics.

I work with students of any level:
-With children (development of basic musical skills)
-With adults (we’ll build the lessons plan you need)
-With students preparing to enter a higher educational institution (preparation for exams, closing certain gaps in knowledge)

I have been successful in helping students who have suffered from technical problems, tendonitis, and excessive tension when playing.

With me, you will prevent these types of problems from happening to you. I will teach you accordingly to the repertoire you want to play, solving technical problems in the music.

It's going to be a pleasure helping you. See you soon in our class!

Discover the saxophone with a personalized, creative approach adapted to all profiles.

The classes I offer are aimed at anyone wishing to learn or deepen their saxophone playing, regardless of age or skill level. Through student-centered teaching, I create a customized learning path that respects each individual's pace, desires, and goals.

Types of courses offered:

Individual lessons from age 6 (30, 45 or 60 minutes)
Duo course (2 people of the same level)
Family classes (parents and children learning together)
Courses for adults, beginners or advanced
Courses for retirees or elderly people
Courses accessible to people with disabilities

Musical styles explored:

From classical to jazz, blues, pop, film music, world music, or improvisation—each student has the freedom to discover what they truly enjoy.

My approach places equal importance on technique and musicality. I encourage each student to develop their own artistic voice while acquiring a solid foundation. For younger students, I create a fun and structured environment, working with parents, to make learning both effective and enjoyable.

Courses available in person in Geneva, Nyon, Lausanne and Montreux, or online.

My goal is to discover the beauty of the cello, for anyone of any age, and at any level!
I am already looking forward to meeting you and I hope we can share together in music!
Renting a cello can be seen as a complex task, but finding a cello to rent is actually very simple!
I can also help with research.

I started playing the cello at 5 and a half years old. I obtained my certificate at the Conservatory of Music of Geneva in 2019 and my Bachelor of Arts at the Haute École de Musique in 2022. I obtained my Master of Pedagogy in June 2024.

I would be delighted to give you lessons, in all styles, adapted to all levels. I would also be happy to meet you over coffee to talk more about it. As for me, after a bachelor's degree in piano and a master's degree in international soloist, I am doing my second master's degree in piano pedagogy at the Haute École de Musique in Geneva. I have been giving piano lessons for 4 years, doing replacements at the Geneva and Friborg conservatories, with great pleasure. I'm happy to send it to you ;)

I have been teaching for many years in various schools, including the Centre Artistique du Lac, an art school, and the Notre-Dame du Lac institute in Geneva.
I also play regularly with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande and the Geneva Chamber Orchestra.

I really like teaching in private because it gives us the possibility of creating à la carte lessons and being as close as possible to the needs and pleasure of each student.
Lessons are for all ages, all levels, individual or in small groups.
Feel free to ask questions 😊

I offer recorder and/or music theory lessons, tailored to each student's needs. You can choose to focus on the instrument, deepen your musical understanding through music theory, or combine both for a comprehensive learning experience. For recorder, we work on breath control, fingering, articulation, posture, interpretation of early and contemporary repertoire, ornamentation, improvisation, and more. For music theory, I adapt my method to your level: reading notes and rhythms, listening skills, identifying intervals, fundamental harmonics, and understanding musical language. My approach is dynamic, supportive, and structured, always attentive to the student's pace and interests.

Against common thinking, the double bass is not just this big wardrobe in the back of the orchestra.
In this class I'll help you evolve towards finding your own voice in the instrument and help you with any difficulty on the process.
Wish you all the best,
Marco

You want to get to know your voice, sing with your body, and understand how your voice works. Singing is an exciting playground. I invite you to explore, in a gentle and supportive space, to experience it and become familiar with your instrument.
I also provide you with the keys to understanding and reading sheet music so that you can read music or deepen your musical knowledge.
Finally, I'll give you some basic piano skills so I can accompany you if needed.
