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! :)

Passionate about music since I was little, I am interested in different styles; so-called “classical” music, due to my training, but also jazz, Klezmer music and Eastern music, due to my origins.
From a pedagogical point of view, I know how to adapt to everyone, and the method I propose to learn is centered around the pleasure of playing, while ensuring that I provide my students with a stable knowledge base, theory, practice and musical culture.
Hope to meet you,

Louana
Private Piano and Solfege lessons for Beginners / Intermediates - Children / TeenagersHello,
My name is Louana, I am 30 years old and am currently a piano teacher for students ranging from 3 to 65 years old.
Indeed, I started very young music with first 2 years of rhythm then 5 years of Solfege Jacques-Dalcroze and finally 12 years of piano including 10 at the Conservatory of Music in Geneva. (each year of study being validated by exams & diplomas)
Today I continue to play for fun and give some of my time to teach a few students once a week.
Class sessions are generally 45 minutes to 1 hour as proposed by the Conservatory. I teach with my old scores which allows a gradual evolution step by step. Obviously, I remain attentive to everyone's wishes, but I particularly teach classical music because in my opinion, these are the best bases allowing you to play what you want.
I am obviously at your disposal for any further information or to arrange an interview at your convenience.
Best regards,
Louana
