I live and compose in Berlin for the last three years after moving from Paris. I have studied in England (BA, Cambridge & Master, London) and in France (Master, Conservatory Composition degree, PhD, Paris).
I am still new to the platform, 25% promotion on lessons for limited period
I have been for many year a composer, initially in classical contemporary and electronic composition, and the last 5 years working with games and Virtual Reality.
I have received seven awards and nine nominations in international competitions, while he has participated in collaborative projects that have received seven international awards and two distinctions.
My teaching style is organising everything around project based learning. We find with my students a practical goal that we want to achieve (ex. recording some songs, making music for a short film, creating a score for a concert etc) we set milestones and we break learning into steps and modules to learn.
This way learning is more practical, effective and fun.
