    Alumni from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music teaches Piano/ Composition/Music Theory

    Hi there !

    Graduate from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in Composition with Dr. David Conte, I offer musical composition lessons adapted to your level and in the style/genre that you like. The courses mix all the practices mentioned above (Piano, Analysis, Orchestration, Counterpoint and Harmony).

    A lifelong pianist, I obtained a Diploma in Music Studies (DEM) from the Annecy Conservatory (Fr.) in Musical Training, Film Scoring, Orchestration and Analysis, as well as a State Diploma (DE) in musical pedagogy specializing in Piano (Classical and Improvisation) and Musical Training from CeFeDEM in Lyon, France.

    Teaching music has therefore been a vocation for almost 10 years now, and I have been able to accompany many children and adults in their discovery and/or deepening of this practice.

    As a award-winning composer, my experience of the professional world can help build you career plan as well as managing your time efficiently.

    Currently living in Paris, Fr, I dispense in-person classes or online classes through Zoom (outside of France). In addition, courses can be given in French or English depending on your preferences.

    If you would like more information, do not hesitate to contact me.

    Wishing you a happy new school year,

    Pierre

    About Me

    En tant que compositeur, je crois sincèrement que la technique est le principal pilier de la créativité car elle la valorise. Lorsqu’on apprenait une langue étant enfant, il fallait plusieurs années avant de la maîtriser. Ce principe s'applique également à la musique. La pédagogue française Nadia Boulanger disait : " Pour étudier la musique, il faut apprendre les règles. Pour créer de la musique, il faut les enfreindre. "

    A travers la modélisation de chefs-d'œuvre, l'analyse approfondie, les exercices d'harmonie, les anecdotes d'histoire de la musique et les jeux de solfège, vous pourrez acquérir les connaissances nécessaires pour vous exprimer pleinement, sans limitations techniques. Le monde de la composition est un art exquis qui attend votre premier pas vers celui-ci.

    Pierre, né à Nanterre en France, est un compositeur dont le goût pour l'harmonie du début du XXe, les influences jazz, les danses du XVIIe siècle et la musique de film l'ont amené à diriger et composer pour divers ensembles tels que le Quatuor Télégraphique, les orchestres Symphoniques et de Chambre, l'International Orange Chorale de San Francisco, Insight Chamber Players et plus encore. Pianiste accompagnant des films de musique live improvisée dans les salles de France, Pierre a également signé la bande originale de plus d'une dizaine de courts métrages.

    Pierre a remporté des prix dans plusieurs concours tels que, le SSO Call for Score 2022 à l'USC de Los Angeles, le 6ème Pankonin American Art Song Competition 2022, 2ème prix au SFCM Choral Competition 2022, 2ème Prix au SFCM Art Song Competition 2021.

    Pierre est basé à Paris, en France, et a complété sa maîtrise en composition au Conservatoire de musique de San Francisco où il a étudié avec le Dr David Conte. De plus, Pierre est titulaire d'une licence en pédagogie musicale du Cefedem Auvergnes-Rhône Alpes, Lyon, France et d'un programme de certificat avancé en composition de la SFCM.

    Piano pour tous âges et tous les niveaux - professeure diplômée
    Que vous souhaitiez élever votre jeu de Chopin à un niveau supérieur ou jouer votre morceau préféré au piano, je suis là pour vous aider à atteindre cet objectif. Forte d'une carrière professionnelle en tant que pianiste concertiste et professeur de piano, je suis titulaire de Diplôme supérieur d'enseignement avec mention très bien. En parallèle de ma carrière de pianiste solo professionnel, j'apprécie également la collaboration avec d'autres musiciens. Je suis titulaire de diplôme supérieur de musique de chambre et j’ai obtenu le DEM en accompagnement au piano au CRR d'Aubervilliers où j’ai acquis les compétences pour transpositions, harmonie, réduction d’orchestre et de choeur. Avec ma formation en musicologie (Licence en musicologie), je suis en mesure de donner des cours particuliers en formation musicale, en harmonie et en histoire de la musique. Mon expérience couvre une vaste gamme d'âges et de parcours, allant des élèves de l'école primaire aux professionnels en reconversion, tels que des médecins à la retraite. Alors, qu'attendez-vous ? Réservez dès maintenant votre premier cours, et entamez votre voyage vers l'excellence pianistique. Whether you want to take your Chopin to the next level or play your favorite song on the piano, I can help you achieve your goal. Embarking on a professional journey as both a concert pianist and piano instructor, I successfully obtained the "Diplôme supérieur d'enseignement" competition at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris Alfred Cortot with the distinction of "mention très bien." Concurrently with my solo pianist career, I derive pleasure from collaborating with fellow musicians. I obtained the "Diplôme Supérieur de musique de chambre" of école normale de musique de Paris and the DEM of piano accompagnement in CRR d’Aubervilliers where I acquired the skills of transposition, harmony, orchestra and choir reduction. Utilizing my academic background in musicology (Bachelor's degree in musicology), I am skilled at offering private instruction in music theory, harmony, and music history. My extensive experience includes a wide range of students, from elementary school children to retired medical professionals. What are you waiting for? Book your first class now and kick-start your journey to mastering the piano. ________ - Merci à Mes Étudiants - Je tiens à commencer par exprimer ma sincère gratitude à tous mes étudiants qui ont pris le temps de me laisser des avis réfléchis et positifs. Vos mots gentils et vos retours détaillés comptent énormément pour moi et m’encouragent à continuer de partager ma passion pour la musique. - À propos du Commentaire Négatif - Concernant le seul avis négatif : l’étudiant en question a manqué son premier cours en raison d’une grasse matinée. Malgré la politique de la plateforme stipulant qu’aucun remboursement n’est accordé en cas d’absence sans préavis, j’ai proposé de fournir un cours de remplacement gratuit dès ma première disponibilité après la période chargée des fêtes de fin d’année. Malheureusement, l’étudiant a refusé la date que j’avais proposée et a suggéré des jours qui ne faisaient pas partie de mon emploi du temps. J’ai dû suspendre la communication en raison d’autres engagements. À la date initialement proposée — qui n’avait pas été confirmée —, l’étudiant s’attendait à un cours et a par la suite laissé un avis négatif. Par souci de bienveillance, j’ai même remboursé une partie des frais (à l’exception des frais d’inscription non remboursables),. - Mon Engagement et Mes Attentes - Je suis engagée à offrir des cours de haute qualité à un tarif accessible, soutenus par mon expérience professionnelle et l’accès à un piano Yamaha YUS5 neuf. Mon objectif est de rendre la musique accessible à ceux qui l’aiment. En retour, je demande aux étudiants de respecter mon temps et mes efforts en respectant les horaires convenus et les pratiques de communication. Merci pour votre compréhension et votre soutien continu. Ensemble, nous pouvons créer un environnement d’apprentissage et de croissance positif et respectueux. _________ - Thank You to My Students - I want to start by expressing my heartfelt gratitude to all my students who have taken the time to leave me thoughtful and positive reviews. Your kind words and detailed feedback truly mean a lot to me and motivate me to continue sharing my passion for music. - Addressing the Negative Comment - Regarding the one negative review: the student in question missed their first class due to oversleeping. Despite the platform's policy of no refunds for no-shows without notice, I offered to provide a free replacement class at my earliest availability following the busy holiday season. Unfortunately, the student declined my proposed date and instead suggested days outside my teaching schedule. After several exchanges, I had to pause communication due to other commitments. On the originally proposed date—which had not been confirmed—the student expected a class and subsequently left a negative review. To show goodwill, I even refunded part of the fees (excluding the non-refundable registration fee). - My Commitment and Expectations - I am dedicated to offering high-quality lessons at an approachable rate, supported by my professional background and access to a brand-new Yamaha YUS5 piano. My goal is to make music accessible to those who love it. In return, I ask that students respect my time and effort by adhering to agreed-upon schedules and communication practices. Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Together, we can create a positive and respectful environment for learning and growth.

    Private piano lessons, music theory, technical and musical skills
    My goal is to ensure that the student, whatever their age or musical level, learns not only to play and master their instrument but also to have fun even in the technical learning phase. The working methods revolve around knowledge of the instrument, technique, style, musicality but can also occasionally focus on historical contextualization if the student wishes to approach this approach. The repertoire offers endless avenues of work and great musical discoveries!

    Hello, I like to transmit and exchange with my students. Seeing them understand and progressing is essential and very rewarding for me. My lessons are based on an academic method focused on learning music theory and instrumental practice. I bring a specific method adapted to the profiles of my students (age, availability, tastes, motivation, "anti-music theory"). I try to make my students independent, help them develop their listening skills, their sense of rhythm and transmit to them an efficient working method. All styles, all levels: pop, rock, funk, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, latin

    Professional lyric singer offers lyric singing lessons
    I am a professional lyric soprano graduated from the CNSM of Lyon. I participate in productions with the Concert d'Astrée, the Choir of Namur, Accentus, the Opéra National de Lorraine, Choir de la Chapelle Harmonique. I am also on the lists of the Montpellier Opera, Concert Spirituel, Ensemble Correspondances and Radio France choir. I have just finished a production of Haydn's Die Schöpfung at the Opéra National de Lorraine last January-February, conducted by Marta Gardolinska (Guillaume Fauchère choir director), directed by Kevin Barz. I sang solo and in chorus the role of the Trojan woman in Campra's Idomenée in 2021 at the Lille Opera and the Berlin Staatsoper, staging of the fura dels baus, I also sang the solo of Campra's Requiem at the philharmonies of Luxembourg, Lille, Essen Cologne and Berlin with the Concert d'Astrée in 2019 directed by Emmanuelle Haïm. In 2019, I participated in the production of Les Indes Galantes by Rameau with the Namur Choir at the Opera Bastille, directed by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon and directed by Clement Cogitore. In 2022, I participated in numerous productions, notably with the Accentus choir in Beethoven's 9th symphony, the missa solemnis or even a polyphonic baroque project. In 2022 I participated in the production of Hulda by Cesar Franck with the Namur Choir at the Grand Manège de Namur, the Liège Philharmonic and the Théatre des Champs Elysées. My background as well as my skills in lyrical singing allow me to master my instrument well. I am a very curious and very patient person, and I like to find solutions to problems. Transmitting my passion to students wishing to discover or develop their voices, discover their artistic personality would be a great pleasure for me. If I can transmit this joy that I have from singing as well as my acquired knowledge, it would be a great exploration for them as for me.

    Solfège and musical culture (History, analysis ...).
    Former student of the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, editor-in-chief of the magazine Avant-Scène Opéra, editor for the Philharmonie du Luxembourg, I offer you the following lessons. Music theory and musical culture are essential tools for understanding and making music. Music theory, because it allows you to master the technical tools that allow you to make music, is fundamental for anyone who wants to progress in their instrument. Musical culture makes it possible to understand what goes on in music beyond the technique. From this knowledge (established over a lot of listening) we can develop an interpretation and go beyond technical issues. For music theory lessons only, I constantly articulate the different musical parameters (rhythm, intonation, ear, etc.) and draw my training from the repertoire, which has the advantage of making music from the start. Small technical exercises also allow you to focus on one or the other parameter, but the perspective remains mainly that of a global approach placing the music at the center. As far as musical culture is concerned, I use each of my professional experiences (Musicologist, playwright and music critic) to transmit my knowledge to you. Thus we will approach the history of music through works (history of forms and languages), interpretation and places of music. It is mainly through the study of documents (texts of musical criticism, iconography, scores, musical instruments...) that transmission takes place. Knowledge completes and informs this documentary study. Finally the study of document and the erudition have only one goal: to enlighten the listening of the works which I place at the heart of my teaching.

    Piano, Composition, Music Theory, Harmony and counterpoint
    Learning music, is directly connected to the cognition system of our mind, and our cognition is the first step to perceiving the music, so it is essential to understand music and perform it. I am proposing classes in Piano, Composition, and Music Theory and writings. In the class of Piano depending on the student's wishes, we work on different methods, from learning music just as an activity to students who wish to continue their profession as a musician. The class of composition has the same algorithm as the piano class, the method selection is based on the student's wishes. Music Theory is proposed in both classes of composition and piano on the side but for the students who wish to learn music theory separately with more concentration, I offer this class as a separate class too. Class of Harmony and Writing actually has the same situation as music theory classes but students in the course of composition will be more specialized in harmony and counterpoint than piano students and of course, this course is proposed as a separate class too.

    Piano, Music Theory and Aural Lessons - all grades
    I have over 10 years of teaching experience, both privately and in schools, catering to students of all ages, from children to adults. As a friendly and enthusiastic instructor, my goal is to ensure that every student finds joy in creating music and can work towards their personal goals—whether it's for the sheer enjoyment of music-making or to prepare for music exams. I'm also proficient in teaching music theory, which not only enhances musicianship but is also essential for students aspiring to reach higher levels in their musical journey. I hold a Bachelor of Music and a Master's degree from two prestigious London music institutions: the Royal College of Music and the Royal Academy of Music. Since then, I've been actively performing as a soloist and collaborating with various orchestras and ensembles worldwide.

    Piano/Keyboard Lessons (Music Theory, Aural Training, Sight Reading, Composition and Performance)
    Music is a globally recognized form of expression that connects and unites us in various ways. As a musician, I have tried to inspire people from different walks of life to feel the joy and love of playing the piano and creating music. I have composed music for multiple bands, played for choirs, and accompanied many influential artists. I cleared the Grade 8 examination from Trinity College of Music, London in piano performance. My main goal as a music teacher is not just to provide training and lessons, but to inspire students to continue to learn and gain skills on their own and master the art of music composition. I offer classes both at the student's location and my own. My curriculum blends aural training, sight reading, performance, and composition (tailored to each student's proficiency level).
