Music is above all a human encounter. I recommend booking a discovery session (paid) to ensure my pedagogy and your sensibility (or your child's) are well matched before committing.

Exams are never mandatory. They are only proposed when I feel they offer genuine motivation. At Les Sonatines, musical fulfilment and quality of playing come before certificates.

The completion of a piece can be marked by a recording. While strongly recommended to track progress, this step remains optional — the goal is to celebrate artistic autonomy without pressure.

No panic! It's an opportunity to discover music differently. I have resources to work with the uninjured hand, or to focus on music theory, listening and musical culture.

Yes, regular practice is essential for any progress. Having an instrument at home is necessary. A digital keyboard (minimum 5 octaves / 61 keys) is the minimum to start if you prefer to wait before investing in a piano.

I am happy to guide you through this process. For a second-hand purchase, I recommend the expertise of Dennis (Attune Piano) to verify the instrument's condition before any transaction.

Absolutely! In Singapore, humidity requires tuning approximately twice a year and a piano heater. I highly recommend Dennis (Attune Piano Singapore): attunepianospore.com | 9729 0760.

The fee structure is fixed and organised by lesson duration (45, 60 or 90 minutes). For full details, contact me directly via WhatsApp or the Contact page.

Any lesson cancelled less than 48 hours in advance is still due. For absences notified before this deadline, we will find a make-up slot according to studio availability.

The studio generally follows the International French School (IFS) calendar. I offer à-la-carte lessons or themed sessions during the holidays for those wishing to deepen their practice.

Yes! If you leave Singapore, we can continue our work together via online lessons with adapted digital tools, ensuring complete pedagogical continuity.
