About Me
"What separates the piano from other instruments?" "How does one control the sound of a piano?""How do great composers for piano proceed so that their work are able to touch us so deep?"
Those are some of the questions I ask myself regularly, for the possibilities that offer this beautiful instrument fascinate me, and my passion for it grows more day by day.
My name is Robinson, I am 27, and I will try to share that passion with you, whatever goals you have. After 3 years in New York, I am back to my hometown Geneva to work as a pianist, composer and educator.

I have now had over 5 lessons with Robinson. He's a really great teacher, as well as a very talented musician. I'm making way more progress than I expected and already tackling songs which I thought were too difficult for me. I value the way he adapts to the needs and interests of his student. I look forward to many more lessons!
Robinson has been working with my 13 yr old daughter since the summer and I cannot recommend him enough. He is an amazing pianist, and so patient and kind and super professional. We are so grateful to have met him. Just a few weeks ago we needed a recording and at the last minute we informed Robinson and he made the time to fit my daughter in, and we just received the news today that she got first prize in America without Robinson this would not have been possible. Don’t hesitate to contact him you will not regret it. Fantastic Musician. Linda

Piano, music theory and musical appreciationPianist student at the HEM in Geneva offers piano lessons as well as music theory! Basic elementary and intermediate level I also propose a part to speak about the musical appreciation of all the periods of the history of the music. For all ages!
These will be lessons to work on the piano (beginners and intermediate) while we talk about music theory (harmony, music theory, analysis, etc.) and also a time to listen to recordings and talk about musical appreciation. Besides classical education, I also work with jazz pieces and pop music. It's an hour to have fun, learn and discover.
I have over five years of experience teaching piano and music theory, with children, youth and adults.
I can move to the student's home (Lausanne and Canton of Vaud) and I am flexible with weekly schedules. I adapt to each student and situation!
Classes can be given in French, Spanish or English.

Piano lessons for all and Piano Therapy for students with special needsPiano lessons are a powerful tool to improve concentration and give students a sense of satisfaction. Learning the piano could have a very beneficial effect on anyone with dyslexia or any other learning difficulties if the teacher employs slightly different methods, so the process of learning remains enjoyable but not frustrating. With my experience and qualification in teaching the piano and working for many years as a special needs teacher and assessor, I am ideally placed to create a specific approach for your or your child's needs. At the same time as teaching piano up to Trinity College Certificate Level (and up to ABRSM Grade 8), I am also giving piano lessons specifically designed for students who did not progress as expected and failed to reach customary milestones in compulsory education in order to overcome the challenges and help them succeed in learning to play the piano.
Please do not hesitate to contact me directly if you have any questions or wish to discuss your individual situation.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any levelI teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.
I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisationHey!
My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels.
For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that!
Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;)
I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example.
The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else.
Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible.
See you soon!
Richard
PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
