Music takes a huge place in my life, it glows over others.it becomes your best friend with time.Depending on your mood , you can rely on your music.
Music is always their waiting for you.It relaxes you , it makes you feel good.
it's a way of meditation.I believe that it is integral to the education of any person. We all have rhythm and sound as a core part of our body. Formal training in music is only an expansion of what already exists in every person.All of my lessons begin with physical warm-ups ( by Isidor Phillipp , Czerny ...)
to support the specific musculature required in the development of each instrument.An up to date personnalised program given to each of my students , including some of their favorite songs, to keep motivation and steady progress every lessons.
Joy and play are essential elements of happiness, successful learning at any age.
Without joy, there is no music, and without music, there is no joy.
