Online Studio — Clarinet Lessons via Zoom & Brussels Academy — In-Person Lessons in Brussels
Teaching and pedagogy have always played a central role throughout my musical career.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to teach clarinet, orchestra and chamber music at various institutions in France, including the City of Paris, the Philharmonie de Paris, as well as the conservatories of Taverny, Houilles and Argenteuil.
I have also supported many students throughout their artistic, technical and musical development, from discovering the instrument to preparing for higher education and a professional career.
Today, I offer this teaching through my Online Studio, accessible worldwide through Zoom lessons, as well as through in-person lessons in Brussels.
Online Studio
Lessons & Master Classes via Zoom
Online lessons provide a personalized, one-to-one learning experience, wherever you are located.
They are open to:
- Beginners and amateur musicians
- Conservatory students
- Music students
- Young musicians wishing to develop their skills
- Aspiring professionals
- Musicians preparing for competitions or auditions
- Clarinetists wishing to develop their technique and musicality
Each lesson is tailored to the student’s level, goals and individual needs.
Clarinet
For clarinetists, we can work on the entire repertoire, from classical to contemporary music, including chamber music and improvisation.
Lessons may focus on :
Instrumental Technique
- Tone production
- Breathing and air support
- Articulation
- Finger technique and dexterity
- Intonation
- Musicality
- Posture and body awareness
Repertoire
- Classical repertoire
- Chamber music
- Contemporary music
- Solo repertoire
- Bass clarinet
- Orchestral excerpts
- Audition preparation
Particular attention can be given to contemporary music and extended instrumental techniques.
Competition & Audition Preparation
Specialized Coaching for Aspiring Professionals
Preparing for a competition or audition requires a very different approach from a regular instrumental lesson.
I offer personalized coaching for :
Conservatory & Music School Entrance Auditions
Preparation for entrance examinations to conservatories and leading music schools, both in Belgium and internationally.
Orchestra Auditions
Preparation for clarinet and bass clarinet orchestra auditions:
- Orchestral excerpts
- Style and understanding of the orchestral repertoire
- Programme preparation
- Technical work
- Interpretation
- Managing performance anxiety
International Competitions
For musicians preparing for international competitions, coaching can be organized as regular individual sessions or intensive master classes.
The goal is to build a preparation that is simultaneously technical, musical and strategic, allowing you to arrive at the competition with a fully mastered programme and a strong artistic identity.
Chamber Music
Chamber Music Lessons for Duos & Trios
Chamber music holds a particularly important place in my musical career.
I now also offer in-person chamber music coaching in Brussels for ensembles of two or three musicians.
Sessions may focus on:
- Repertoire
- Listening and interaction
- Intonation
- Analysis and understanding of the structure of the work
- Rhythm and precision
- Style
- Interpretation
- Concert or competition preparation
These sessions are open to students, amateur musicians and professional musicians.
Academy in Brussels
In-Person Lessons in Brussels
After several years of teaching clarinet, orchestra and chamber music, I have recently expanded my teaching activity to Brussels.
In-person lessons are offered for clarinet and, depending on the project, for other instruments as well, particularly for orchestra audition preparation and chamber music coaching.
The aim is to offer demanding yet accessible tuition, based on a deeply individual approach.
All levels are welcome.
Whether you simply want to discover music, develop your skills as an amateur musician, prepare for an examination or work towards a professional career, each lesson is designed around your individual goals.
A Personalized Approach to Teaching
There is no single way to learn music.
Every musician has their own background, strengths, challenges and sensitivity.
My teaching therefore aims to develop several aspects simultaneously:
Technique · Musicality · Listening · Independence · Confidence · Artistic Expression
Technical work is always placed at the service of music.
The goal is not simply to play correctly, but to enable each musician to understand what they are playing, develop their own artistic personality and gradually become an independent musician.
