Graduated from the Conservatory in France as a professional pianist. I have extensive experience teaching piano to children, adolescents, and adults, since 2002, collaborating with music schools, and offering personalized private lessons.
My speciality: I can adapt my teaching according to each of my students' wishes, expectations, and personality.
Objective: Instructing each apprentice musician (beginner, amateur, or experienced pianist) by solidifying the learning of the piano as a passion. I discuss musical training and theoretical points during lessons. In addition, musical training workshops are conducted during holidays.

Teaching method: I train my students by following the European methods (Initiation to the piano, Pianolude, keyboard crocodile, etc.), and I choose the appropriate method according to the age and the level of the student and his personality. Moments of improvisation are also part of the process so that the child can develop their imagination.
Pedagogical mission: I accompany my young students during their journey of learning the piano. By taking their personality and artistic feeling into account, learning music is a real passion for the child!

Piano lessons for adults in Abu Dhabi
-
All levels: beginners, intermediate, and advanced

Recommended format: 1 hour per week
Teaching method: Methods of teaching differ depending on whether the adult learner is a beginner or has already practiced the piano in their youth. Tactile, sensory, and auditory memory is activated or reactivated.
Objective: Learning the piano as an adult is often an unfulfilled childhood dream, or learning has been interrupted for various reasons. Therefore, my goal is to give confidence to the learner so that they can have this feeling of being able to escape while playing.
