Learning piano as a child is about balance: play, listening and a clear method that builds foundations without rushing the steps.
A teaching approach adapted to children
Enjoyment first
Early lessons combine songs, rhythm games and small exercises so children gain confidence and look forward to playing.
Structured progress
Posture, hand position, keyboard orientation and gradual reading: every step is approached at the child's own pace.
Motivating repertoire
Classical, jazz, film music and songs: children play pieces they recognise and connect with.
Listening and creativity
Improvisation, rhythmic singing and small composition tasks develop the ear and personal expression.
What your child will learn
Sit correctly at the piano and use the hands with ease
Read notes in treble and bass clef step by step
Play short complete pieces with both hands
Understand rhythm and tempo
Improvise and create first musical ideas
Practise regularly and with enjoyment
Format and how it works
Duration
30 or 45 minutes depending on age and concentration.
Frequency
Weekly ideally, for steady and reassuring progress.
Location
Lessons take place at my home in Paris, in the 15th arrondissement near Dupleix metro, on an acoustic upright Pleyel piano. Online lessons are also possible if needed.
Usually around 6-7 years old, when the child can read and focus for around fifteen minutes. An initial meeting helps assess readiness.
Do we need a piano at home?
An 88-key weighted digital piano is a good compromise to start — I particularly recommend the Yamaha P-45. A real acoustic piano is ideal if space allows.
Do lessons take place at your home?
Yes, lessons take place at my home in Paris, in the 15th arrondissement near Dupleix metro.
Can I sit in on my child's lesson?
Yes, and it is even encouraged at first. It helps the child feel confident and lets parents follow the method.
