About Me

J'enseigne la kora en combinant les méthodes d'enseignement Africaines, Indiennes et Européennes. Je vous donne les clés pas à pas pour avancer dans votre apprentissage en toute sérénité.
I teach the kora combining teaching African, Indian and European teaching methods. I give you the keys to progress step by step with as much ease as possible.

Education

When I was a medical student, doing an internship in Burkina Faso changed the course of my life drastically...
Two seemingly small events changed me in unexpected ways. First, I saw a mini decoration kora in the market in Burkina Faso, then I heard the song "Djorolen" from Oumou Sangaré (Mali). From these two things, I was firmly convinced that I needed to go to Mali and learn the kora.That's what I did and I never regretted it!
From then on I started a long journey into music from Western African music to Indian to European folk music, also touching on Azeri or Kazakh music...

Lorsque j'étais étudiant en médecine, un stage au Burkina Faso a radicalement changé le cours de ma vie...
Deux événements apparemment anodins m'ont changé de manière inattendue. Tout d'abord, j'ai vu une mini kora décorative dans un marché au Burkina Faso, puis j'ai entendu la chanson "Djorolen" d'Oumou Sangaré (Mali). Ces deux choses m'ont convaincu qu'il fallait que j'aille au Mali pour apprendre la kora.


C'est ce que j'ai fait et je ne l'ai jamais regretté!
Depuis lors, mon exploration de la musique est passée par l'Inde, l'Azerbaijan, le Kazakhstan ou la musique traditionnelle Européenne...

Experience / Qualifications

Plus de 10 ans d'expérience dans l'enseignement de la kora.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Online Classes of Piano, Keyboards and Musical Language
The Tecla y Música Workshop is a space designed to learn and develop your musical and expressive sense through the piano and / or keyboards. The main objective is to learn to make music and enjoy the learning process and its results. The material with which we work (songs, instrumental pieces and exercises) is mainly oriented to your musical taste, and the choice is based on gradually expanding your technical and expressive possibilities, while exploring different musical styles. In this way, different tools are being incorporated to achieve, in a short term, mastery and fluency over the musical language and the instrument. Given that each student has different interests and concerns, whether playing as a hobby or developing a professional career, composing, improvising, etc., the orientation of the classes is built according to the possibilities and particular needs of each case. The work proposal implies a weekly class frequency to achieve optimal work dynamics and that the results are visible in a short term. There is also the possibility of taking isolated classes in order to solve a specific objective such as developing and perfecting some particular aspect of music practice and / or theory as well as preparing instrument exams or theoretical subjects for institutions of musical studies.
