About me

Certified piano teacher

Accredited by SSPM - Swiss Society for Music Education
Director of the Association Musique & Parfum in Geneva

I am a pianist and have been a piano teacher since 2005. My students take official exams and earn their piano diplomas, from preparatory classes to the Certificate level.

Concurrently, at the University of Paris-Sorbonne, I was an associate researcher at the OMF (Observatoire Musical Français) until 2011. I have been developing the approach of synesthesia in art and the artistic coordination of fragrance and music since 2007.

This technique was the subject of a registered trademark 'Interface Parfum-Musique'® in 2010-2011, as well as two academic publications in 2015 by L'Harmattan and Classiques-Garnier.
