Teaching Philosophy
Music has been such a key into my growth as an individual but also as an artist, in the way I was seeing the world but mainly in the way I was communicating and interacting with the people around me. I believe that's the case for many others. To meet the needs and expectations of each of my students as a teacher, I adjust myself as well as possible in various repertoires according to their own will by considering their own abilities, their rhythm, and their learning process. All of that with the aim of transmitting to them my knowledge, to develop them musically and humanly, as well as to share with them all my love for music. In order to reach a successful learning, I think communication, listening, respect and joy are essentiel for maintaining a good relation teacher-student, especially when is added with committed practice.
Musical Education
I've started studying the piano at the age of seven in the Academy of Music Prince Rainier III, in Monaco until the age of eighteen. My teachers were classically trained, they were coming from two different countries, which had brought me different musical teaching cultures. I've decided to pursue that vocation more seriously and was accepted in for a bachelor (BMUS) in interpretation at the Faculty of Music of the University of Montreal. Also, I've graduated from that same school with a master (MMus) in Piano Performance.
Special Skills and Trainings
I've started teaching when I was a teenager thanks to one of my teachers. Through some of her students, I've had the desire to pursue that vocation even more, up to the point where I had my own piano studio before getting eighteen. I've started then comparing different methods, observing different master classes, having classes with different teachers from different countries that lead me today to try to build my own method for a specific category of student's age.

Our Promise to You
Getting Started Together
We don't offer free trials, but we do something better - a relaxed 2-lesson getting-to-know-you period. You can pause anytime with just 24 hours notice. After your third lesson, we ask for a friendly 2-lesson heads up if you need to stop.
Life Happens - We Get It
Give us 24 hours notice for any cancellation or reschedule and you'll receive full credit. Planning a family vacation or summer break? Perfect - just let us know a day ahead and we'll pause your lessons.
When You're Under the Weather
If illness strikes with short notice (less than 24 hours), you'll still be charged since your teacher has reserved that time. However, most teachers are happy to offer makeup lessons when possible - they have the final say, especially if last-minute cancellations become a pattern.
Stopping Lessons
Need to take a break? We just ask for a 2-lesson notice:
Weekly lessons = 2 weeks notice
Every other week = 3 weeks notice
Twice weekly = 1 week notice
Summer breaks are different - no notice period needed when you return in the fall!
