At the moment I am studying at the magistracy of the composition department in Haute école de musique de Genève. In addition, I already have two full educations - choral (secondary) and composer (higher). I graduated from the St. Petersburg Conservatory as a composer, took part in concerts and competitions in Russia, France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland as a choir singer or pianist. I also participated in international educational programs and seminars for composers: -International Academy of Composers in Tchaikovsky (Perm, Russia; September 2019) - Composer courses of the reMusik festival in St. Petersburg (Mai 2019) -International seminar for composers from MolOt-ensemble in St. Petersburg (November 2018) I have a great pedagogical experience of individual and group lessons (tutoring and working as a teacher at the summer city music camp in the St. Petersburg Academic chapel) I write music for piano, instrumental ensembles, choir, orchestra and electronics. I work with students of any level: -With children (development of basic musical skills) -With adults (we’ll build the lessons plan you need) -With students preparing to enter a higher educational institution (preparation for exams, closing certain gaps in knowledge)

Through the pleasure of improvising and learning pieces, I gradually approach the key points of a general piano training that can lead to the practice of any musical style. These courses are suitable for beginners as well as more advanced players, young people as well as adults. The beginnings are focused on postural work in order to acquire healthy habits, with the aim of feeling comfortable with the instrument and promoting artistic and expressive freedom. The rest depends on the desires and profile of each person, each course is different. Beyond musical practice, this course will lead its participant to develop several axes that will prove useful in everyday life. For example, learning patience, perseverance, pleasure as the fruit of a practice built over time (certainly essential in an era where everything is immediately accessible), stress management, concentration, listening to oneself, or even an abstract and universal language, allowing to appeal to the feelings of each person. Whatever your profile and your needs, you can contact me!

Learn to play the piano with fun exercises and songs that you like. The lessons begin with a warm-up and then we look at the work done in the week to make improvements, clarifications, what stimulate the ear and the imagination. Work at home is assisted according to the case and needs by explanatory videos.

I offer piano lessons at home for all ages and for all levels. METHODOLOGY — Teacher at the Alain Boullard music school, Morges — Teacher at the “Neo Académie” music school — 4 years of music teaching experience - Music class teacher for young children at the “yamaha” school in Latvia for 2 years - I improved my knowledge during several Masterclasses around Europe (France, Germany, Austria, Baltic States).

With several years of experience as a piano and harpsichord teacher, as well as an organ and harpsichord accompanist, I have developed solid expertise in various musical styles. Specializing in classical and baroque music, I remain open to other stylistic universes, which has allowed me to explore Latin American and traditional music repertoires. My lessons adapt to the needs and desires of each student. Together, we build a personalized program based on their level, musical tastes and goals.

Having studied classical and jazz music, I have several learning methodologies, which is why I can adapt my lessons to your desires, whether you prefer to play classical, jazz, rock or pop! I can also give music theory or harmony lessons in parallel with the piano lesson in order to solidify your knowledge, again depending on your expectations. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions !

Practicing the piano since the age of 4, I obtained in 2020 my DEM (Diploma of musical studies) from the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Strasbourg (Alsace) (equivalent to the Swiss Certificate). I am now a bachelor's student in opera singing and piano at the Haute Ecole de Musique de Lausanne since September 2020. In parallel with my studies, I have always enjoyed sharing what I myself have the chance to continue to learn, so much so that I have been giving private piano lessons for 3 years. I believe that for the student to get the most out of his course, a great adaptability of the teacher is necessary. I therefore build my lessons according to the wishes of the student, both in the choice of the pieces he/she would like to play and in the space where the lessons take place, so that his practice of music does him good. ! It is therefore essential for me that the framework where the student practices his instrument invites him to feel confident, happy and relaxed and that the music is above all a source of pleasure, and not a constraint. My lessons include a "music theory" part, depending on your starting level, beginner or not. I come to your home if you wish, but can also receive you at my home in Pully.

Welcome to piano lessons, an educational experience that goes beyond playing notes and embraces the beauty and depth of music in all its facets. With my help, explore the world of the piano not only as an instrument, but also as a vehicle for expressing unique emotions, ideas and stories. Course objectives: 1) Practical learning: The central goal is to learn to play the piano proficiently. Classes will focus on performance techniques, hand-eye coordination and building a strong technical foundation. 2) Development of musical ear: very important aspect for the development of a musician. Learn to listen to and understand music with acute sensitivity, honing your ability to grasp musical details, intonations and nuances. 3) Music Writing and Composition: In addition to performance, the course will guide you in music writing. Explore the language of musical notation and learn how to translate your musical ideas onto paper. You will be encouraged to compose original pieces, giving voice to your inspirations and personal experiences.

I have practiced piano for 12 years, and now I wish to share my passion with new learners of any age who want to start playing. I am a very patient person and enjoy teaching in a fun and relaxed atmosphere, so that each student can progress at their own pace while enjoying the learning process.

Music theory lessons, for children (from 9 years old) and adults. Passionate about music theory and music theory, I would be happy to share with you my enthusiasm for music theory, so unfairly devalued, due to the sometimes brutal methods with which it is taught. In the program : - reading notes (treble clefs, C clefs, F clefs) - reading rhythms (quarter notes, eighth notes, double / triple / quadruple eighth notes, triplets and other dotted notes) - dictation of notes (training your ear takes time, but when the exercises are "tailor-made" and progressive, you progress faster) - dictation of rhythms Do not hesitate to tell me the context of your request (competition preparation, repurposing of instruments, exams, etc.). The course durations offered are deliberately short to encourage maximum concentration. It will be essential to prepare the exercises offered between classes, to progress in a way that gives you satisfaction and nourishes your motivation. Classes available in English as well.

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.

Hello, My name is Louana, I am 30 years old and am currently a piano teacher for students ranging from 4 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
