About
I am a piano and voice instructor and music education program founder and director with over 20 years experience in the music industry and education.
Additionally I am a professional artist singer and songwriter currently working with 7 Grammy Awards winner producer Gordon Williams (known for his work with Amy Winehouse and Alicia Keys).
While working in NY I designed a very intuitive piano method which allows students - including special needs students- to learn and play their favorite songs right away in a relaxed environment, while learning all the music theory on a need to know basis.
Our classes bring excellent results and develop confidence. Our students are very satisfied!
For more info please send me an email: [email protected] or text +33 788 81 78 54
All our classes are available in English and in French .
We enjoy watching our students improve weekly and being able to use their knowledge in every day life. Whether it is French or piano, learning should be fun and always motivational, encourage creativity and give students tools to become leaders and entrepreneurs.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
During the first session we will do a meet-and-greet and an assessment then discuss the best way to move forward. Because each student is unique, I design my classes for each student to best suit their level, their needs, goals, and musical preferences. My goal is to help them play their favorite songs as soon as possible, help them find their voice and get to the next level on their musical journey.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am classically trained and I am a french national Conservatory of Music graduate in classical and jazz piano, as well as music theory and voice. I have also performed as a musician, pianist, keyboardist, bassplayer in various bands all around the world. I sing and write songs, and have been producing music since 2004. I have released three albums and collaborated with artists worlwide. I own a record company and am currently working with a 7 Grammy-Award winner producer in New York.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching because I was asked to participate in music workshops and I loved to share my knowledge with students with a fresh and modern approach. It showed great results and this mad me want to keep teaching!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with so many types of students, including children from ages 6-10, pre-teens, teenagers, young adults, young artists, adults.
I have worked with complete beginners as well as more advanced artists, helping them get ready for their auditions, or shows, or studio recording.
I am also experienced with special needs students, attention deficiency, ADD/ADHD , light autism, on the spectrum, asperger.
I consider every student unique and I design my classes differently for every student, according to their needs, levels, age, music preferences, goals and dreams
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I ran a music boot camp in France in the summer 2018 with teen-agers, young musicians, aspiring artists, rappers, producers. It was great and today some of them are semi-professionals, and living their dream!
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would suggest to choose a teacher who is familiar wih the style of music they love, and with a teaching method that resonates with the student. I would also look at the teacher's achievement in the area of expertise.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What is their main objective/ goal ? What do they want to achieve with the classes? Do they want to learn for leisure/pleasure, or for further studies, for a special goal like performing in front of a crowd, auditions, or joining a band, learning to write their own material, etc. The more details you give, the best the teacher will be able to assess your needs.
