Refining technique and enriching musical expressiveness.
Developing greater bodily awareness to "live the music to the very tips of your fingers" with more harmony.

Programme

The experience of a session
An in-person session is much more than a simple class: it is an immersion of several days, in which music
and technical deepening are intertwined — or a broader discovery of playing if you are a beginner — , with professional follow-up and personalized guidance, with a precise eye on your musical gestures and an attentive ear to develop your musicality.

You can watch me play and listen to me live, ask your questions at any time. I can correct your posture, adjust your movements,
help you feel a different quality of gesture that brings more harmony and fluidity to your playing.
These sessions are also an opportunity to share with other cithara and psaltery players, to play in a group, to exchange advice, and to experience themed evenings together chosen according to the group's wishes (lutherie, ensemble music, mini-concerts, prayer vigils, pentatonic improv, etc.).
Each session offers a precise focus, combining musicality, technique, and inner listening, in a supportive working atmosphere where everyone progresses at their own pace — and where no one holds the group back.
