Teaching

“I started lessons with Philippe as a beginner, with a few basic music theory skills. He listens carefully, is very pedagogical, and adapts to my schedule whenever possible. I highly recommend him!”

“As a conservatoire student who had played the violin regularly since the age of six, I began taking additional lessons with Philippe at around thirteen in order to benefit from a different kind of teaching from the standard violin lesson of barely forty-five minutes offered at the conservatoire. I am now seventeen and very satisfied with everything Philippe has given me, enabling me to continue playing the violin in the future as a leisure activity in the way I wish. Philippe is a very attentive teacher who knows how to adapt his teaching to each student’s difficulties. Personally, he helped me enormously with posture and excessive physical tension problems that I had been carrying for several years, allowing me to feel much more relaxed and comfortable in my playing. What I particularly appreciate about Philippe, beyond his usual friendliness, is that during lessons he really works in depth on the different aspects of the piece being studied, both technically and musically, and does not hesitate to spend time on a specific point so that the student can genuinely feel a change in the way they play afterwards.”

“A very pedagogical teacher with my nine-year-old daughter, very attentive to her well-being and progress. I highly recommend him!”

“Lessons with Philippe are very varied: technical work, of course, but also musical phrasing, the search for fingerings and bowings, posture… Philippe learned rigour from great teachers, as well as the pursuit of beauty. He readily shares this experience and adds his own touch and character, always with kindness.”

“A highly professional and very serious violin teacher. I recommend him.”
