Piano lessons by invested teacher and graduate HEM Geneva and CNSMD LYON

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
My keywords:
Passion for music, flexibility, tension and relaxation, having fun = enjoy playing, being efficient and focused = music is a demanding discipline, independence of hands and fingers, regularity of work

My method is first of all to fascinate the student, and the music must above all give pleasure.
Then comes the choice of my working method adapted to the level of each one.
Of course, we will work on technique, listening, flexibility, posture, breathing, style, interpretation, but also self-confidence, and psychological self-encouragement, inner singing, anatomy and the correct posture of the musician (back, arms, wrists, fingers). All to develop a healthy position and a comfortable and fulfilled piano playing.

Léo is a multi-talented Franco-Turkish concert pianist and an artist of great sensitivity. He expresses his pianistic art through the classical repertoire, jazz, and is fond of improvisation and composition.
After musical studies in Antibes, Nice and Paris, he was unanimously admitted to the University of Music in Geneva - HEM where he is currently studying with Cédric Pescia and Gabor Nagy Takacs. He also follows the Master of Pedagogy at the conservatory.
His touch on the piano is balanced by a mixture of French and Russian schools. He studied with professors Rena Sheresheskaya, Florence Paumier, Cécile Collin and Bernard D'Ascoli.
He also works with great pianists such as Paul Badura-Skoda, Jacques Rouvier, Pavel Gililov, Louis Lortie, Bruno Rigutto, Alain Planès, Fred Hersch, Frank Avitabile and Marc Perrenoud.
Associations such as Ars Antonina, Piano Cantabile, Le Cercle Musical de Cannes and the Académie Villecroze support him in his artistic development.
A talented and promising young pianist, he won several prizes and distinctions in numerous competitions: the piano competition of the Lions Club of Sanremo and Nice, the Steinway competition in Cannes, the international competition in Île de France and the Philomuses prize in Paris. .
For several years, he simultaneously studied flute, cello and drums. In 2010, he won 1st prize at the National Flute Competition in Menton on the Côte d'Azur.
Léo performs in many countries around the world (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, Cuba, Turkey, China).
Appreciated for his temperament and his sensitivity, he plays in various festivals such as the Vence Festival, the La Côte Festival in Switzerland, the Moscow Flute Festival, the Cuba Festival, at the Théâtre des Variétés in Monaco, at the Auditorium Kosma, at the Dior Chapel in Montauroux, or at the Auditorium de la Seine Musicale in Paris.
As a soloist, he gives concerts with several orchestras such as the Orchester de Chambre de Genève, the Orchester Symphonique de Cannes, the Orchester de Chambre de Mersin, the Orchester Camerata d'Istanbul, the Orchester Mozarteum de Havana. He regularly plays chamber music in duos, trios and quintets, notably with vocals, flute and jazz trio.
This year he founded a cello-piano duo, two piano quintets in which he performed Schumann, Mozart and Beethoven.
Léo gives several charity concerts for the benefit of the association "Coline en Ré" which helps disadvantaged children in Madagascar and Reunion.
Selected in two academies such as the Phillipe Jaroussky Academy in Paris and the Villecroze Academy, he performed at the Seine Musicale, where he studied with countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, pianist David Kadouch during masterclasses filmed by Medici TV .
During the Academy of Villecroze, the meeting with the pianist Louis Lortie is decisive in his training. He invited him to the Queen Elisabeth Chapel in Belgium to work on Chopin and Mozart.
At the same time, he made an exciting encounter with the Russian-Swedish pianist Julia Mustonen with whom he worked in a masterclass and will soon go to Sweden to perform at its international piano festival.
Regularly collaborating with the Italian composer Armando Ghidoni, Armando chose him as the official pianist of his compositions and dedicated a double concerto for flute and piano to him entitled "Magical Concert". He is also the ambassador for this piece as far away as Shanghai and Havana. It will be recorded with the Belgian label "Chant de Linos". He created the European premiere of Ghidoni's "Captivating Story" Piano Concerto.
He has already recorded the piece "Music Wonderland" in the chamber music disc of Ghidoni's work.
Léo currently lives in Geneva, he is passionate about pictorial art, opera, ethnomusicological conferences, travel, the study of languages such as German, English and Spanish. He learns to play on historic pianos such as the pianoforte with Pierre Goy. He plays in a jazz and current music group at the conservatory.
Recently, he completed a semester in Sweden as an exchange program, after meeting piano teachers Julia Mustonen & Mikael Kanarva at the Glafsjordens Festival in Arvika. There he prepares a new classical repertoire and works on a new way of approaching his piano. He is currently preparing his recital diploma at the Conservatoire Supérieur de Genève, international competitions, an album in solo repertoire and with orchestra for the Chant de Linos label.
Coming from a family of teachers, his mother also a renowned concert pedagogue, he has been teaching the piano since a very young age and is passionate about explaining and solving the difficulties that his students may encounter. He is currently doing a Masters in Pedagogy in Geneva and is looking for two young students for regular work at the Haute École de Musique de Genève.

Louana
Private Piano and Solfege lessons for Beginners / Intermediates - Children / Teenagers
Hello, 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

Florent
Pianist graduated from the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève gives piano lessons, music theory for all ages and levels
My piano lessons are aimed at beginners as well as more experienced students. We will start by defining together what your objectives are in order to find a learning pace that suits you. I offer a global approach to the piano combining technique, interpretation of pieces of varied styles and improvisation/music theory. A course is generally structured as follows: 1. 5 to 10 minutes of technical work. The development of effective gestures is essential in order to fully express one's musical potential. I offer progressive exercises allowing you to acquire the basics of piano technique (finger independence, velocity, hand coordination, arm mobility, posture, etc.). For young students, this work takes the form of keyboard games. Just like a sport, playing an instrument is a challenge for the body: I ensure that the student adopts a good posture on the instrument, in order to play with control and to avoid tension and injuries linked to an inattentive practice. 2. Interpretation. I propose strategies for structuring the learning of a piece, in order to optimize the time spent working on the piano and to make the student autonomous in their practice. My training at the conservatory allows me to introduce you to the styles of different eras of classical music, from baroque to the present day. I am also open to other musical universes, and the choice of pieces is primarily based on your tastes and desires. For the youngest students, I offer a suitable repertoire (arrangements of classical pieces, film music, video games, anime, songs), as well as simplified scores for a gradual introduction to reading. In order to cultivate motivation, it is important that students play music that speaks to them and that they are not discouraged by music theory. 3. Improvisation and music theory. For students who are beginners or have never done music theory, I teach the necessary theoretical bases (orientating themselves on the keyboard, reading a score, rhythm, listening), often in the form of improvisation games. In addition to developing a personal connection with the instrument, improvisation also allows you to assimilate notions of harmony/counterpoint (scales, intervals, chords) through practice, and to understand little by little how music is constructed. To make the link with the repertoire being worked on in class, I often suggest taking an element of a piece as a starting point for improvising. Of course, nothing obliges us to follow a particular plan, and if you come with a particular desire or a specific objective, I will try to meet your expectations as best as possible. I look forward to reading you, and sharing some beautiful moments of music together.

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Learn how to play Piano (or Keyboard) at your own pace.
Have you ever wanted to learn to play the piano/keyboard but don't know where to start? Are you regretting giving up learning the piano/keyboard when you were younger? Do you feel that your current progress in playing the piano/keyboard is being held back? If the answer to any of these questions is yes then please contact me. I always try to ensure that each individual student's interests are catered for. If you want to play for pleasure then I will encourage you to learn pieces that you like.

Piano and/or music theory lessons for every level and age! (NL/EN/FR)
Hey! Have you always wanted to learn to play the piano but aren't sure where to start? Or maybe you just want to take your piano playing to the next level? In either case, you can come to me for piano and theory lessons tailored to your needs! Are you a fan of pop/jazz music rather than classical? We can easily take care of this too! As a young student, I am often closer to the practice of teaching and can sense where the student's goals lie. Very flexible throughout the week and weekends, either at the student's home, at my grand piano, or possibly online (especially music theory).

André
Piano Lessons - all ages and levels - Classical music, pop/rock, etc. - with Piano Master's graduated teacher
Hello! I am a 29 years old classical pianist with a Master's degree at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Den Haag. I have taught Piano (and also Music Education) since 2016, to both children and adults. Teaching allows me to bring my passion and enthusiasm for music to the students, and I also find it incredibly rewarding to guide and follow their musical and technical development! I am easily adaptable to the student's musical tastes and expectations/goals in music learning, and I am also very mindful of how I communicate, according to the students' ages and personalities. I can teach classical music, pop, rock, or any other style. My approach consists of giving you the necessary theoretical knowledge for what you wish to play; involving you actively in the choice of the pieces/songs you will play; setting up a long-term plan for your repertoire, so that your development is made step by step in a challenging - but achievable - way (and this way, you will feel more motivated!); giving you enjoyable and creative practicing strategies; creating rich imagery revolving around the piece - by making up a story, relating the music to emotions, etc.; and also positive feedback! Thus, my lessons will allow you to: - Learn how to read scores. -Develop your musical understanding (from notes, rhythm, and harmony, to musical taste, and emotional comprehension of the music, or dive into aesthetic principles concerning the period and style of the piece,...). -Improve, step by step, until you are able to play that piece/song that you love. -Prepare yourself for exams. -Etc. Furthermore, I organize Students' Concerts, giving you the chance to play in a fantastic grand piano, and sharing with others all the work you've done! The best thing is that it's possible for you to learn all this and have fun at the same time! Any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
