Invited specialist — Classical technique and reading
Focus: tone production, articulation, sight-reading routines
This teacher specialises in building dependable fundamentals for students who want classical repertoire, from early Romantic miniatures to longer-form pieces. Lessons start with a short technique set—scales for evenness, arpeggios for alignment, and targeted finger independence patterns. The teacher is known for clear fingering logic and for “rhythm first” work: counting, subdivision, and metronome strategies that remove guesswork.
Students in Paris who have limited practice time often find the approach refreshing: a small number of precise tasks rather than a long list. Online lessons are handled with simple camera angles and short recordings to make feedback on touch and balance specific.
Expert in the topic — Contemporary repertoire coaching
Focus: film themes, pop arrangements, left-hand patterns, pedalling clarity
This instructor works with students who love contemporary pieces but want them to sound clean and intentional. Lessons treat accompaniment patterns as technique: wrist motion for repeated figures, chord-shape mapping, and balance between melody and harmony. The teacher introduces practical harmony—cadences, common progressions, and voicing choices—so students can learn arrangements faster and adapt them with confidence.
Many Paris students have travel weeks. The teacher uses a stable weekly structure with a clear “quality check” (for example, pedalling changes aligned to harmony) so online sessions remain precise instead of vague.
Invited specialist — Performance preparation
Focus: memorisation strategy, run-through habits, interpretation decisions
This teacher supports students preparing auditions, recitals, or simply a piece they want to play end-to-end without stops. Lessons focus on run-through planning, safe tempo choices, and a calm approach to memory: sectional cues, harmonic landmarks, and hands-separate checkpoints. Interpretation is taught in a concrete way—phrasing, rubato boundaries, and pedalling plans that match the harmony rather than the mood of the moment.
The process is unglamorous but effective. Students in Paris often notice that practice sessions become shorter and more focused because each run-through has a specific target, not just “play it again.”
