REVIEWS
Valéry said '' This is my second year of classes with Arnaud and it's incredible how much I've progressed thanks to him. Arnaud is a caring and super encouraging teacher. His explanations are clear and we always know where we're going. We can ask him the same questions 50 times and he always answers with the same renewed patience! I highly recommend him. ''
Atnae said '' Having seen Arnaud at work with two different students (my daughter and myself), I was able to see his ability to adapt his teaching to our learner profile and our own objectives, targeting the most effective exercises for us. He is dedicated to his role and his focus is truly on the student. I particularly appreciate Arnaud's pedagogical structure, with a well-examined introduction to jazz, which takes us one step at a time, always experiencing small, accessible successes that naturally lead us to the next step. I finish each class with renewed motivation and enthusiasm! ''
Jonathan said '' Having a fairly rigid classical training and having no knowledge of jazz, I have always been impressed by the improvisational ability of jazz musicians. With his teaching method, Arnaud gave me a large amount of tools allowing me today to have a high enough level of improvisation that my girlfriend can no longer differentiate a new piece from an improvisation. I initially contacted Arnaud because my main interest was in jazz. With him, I learned how to play to accompany other musicians, how to play in a trio or solo, how to do walking bass and how to improvise, to name just a few topics. I have been taking classes with Arnaud for several years now and I am still learning new techniques and the subtleties of jazz every week. ''
Zakaria said '' I recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn the piano or simply improve their skills. It's stress-free, and you learn the pieces you love while advancing in music theory. The teacher explains things very clearly and is equipped to give quality lessons. Having weekly follow-up helped me stay motivated and progress steadily. Honestly, without this course, I probably would have stopped playing the piano after a few weeks. Without follow-up, it's easy to get bored and give up. Plus, the online course format makes everything much simpler.''
Binh An said '' Thank you for your patience and your lessons, which freed me from everything I had learned! I recommend your lessons to anyone like me who, for too long, has only studied classical music and who dreams of learning to listen and free themselves from sheet music.''
