Teaching experience
2019 - 2025
Private piano teacherFor six years in France, I taught piano the way it should be, in people's homes, on their own terms.
My students ranged from a 5-year-old discovering the keys for the first time, to a 62-year-old finally living a lifelong dream. Over 100 students, every one a different story.
Music isn't reserved for the talented few. It belongs to anyone willing to sit down and play.

Valentin is amazing! Im very happy with my lessons with him. He explains things clearly and is very patient. During speaking practice, I feel encouraged to talk more and mistakes are corrected in a gentle and useful way. Highly recommended! ☺️
