About Val
I always have been passionate about English and French songs and have published my own works under various artist's names and in various styles.
With this experience, I am able to share this knowledge with others.
A freelance musician by profession, I have extensive experience in music teaching (music theory, harmony) or teaching an instrument (guitar, bass, drums).

I offer lessons based on the understanding of songwriting music theory (chord family) and writing lyrics.
Learning basic theory, analysis of well-known songs, advice on the student's own pieces, the only prerequisite is to already have a mastery of basic chords on your instrument (guitar, piano, bass).

Valérie est une professeure exceptionnelle. Elle a su transmettre sa passion avec clarté, bienveillance et exigence, et m’a énormément aidé à comprendre la musique . Grâce à elle, j’ai développé une réelle confiance dans mon processus créatif. Je ne peux que la recommander à toute personne qui souhaite progresser sérieusement !
Val est une prof de guitare au-delà de ce qu’on peut toutes et tous espérer ! Elle sait parfaitement me guider dans les univers musicaux que je recherche à affiner ou découvrir. Cette qualité est subtile et très précieuse dans l’apprentissage d’un instrument. La première série de cours que j’ai prise avec elle m’a permis de beaucoup mieux comprendre l’harmonie et son utilisation dans la construction efficace d’un morceau. De plus, Val est très attentive à pousser ses élèves dans le développement d’une forme d’instinct, au-delà d’un enseignement académique ; un type enseignement qu’elle maîtrise d’ailleurs parfaitement.
Enfin, son jeu de guitare est impressionnant, elle est une des rares personnes que je connaisse qui soit capable de faire rugir réellement une six cordes !
Que du plaisir et le sentiment d’une progression ultra satisfaisante.
I have been taking guitar lessons with Valerie for the last 20 years. She has greatly contributed to my musical growth, including the development of my technique, the exploration of harmony and music theory, composition, as well as live performance preparation. She is very kind and patient, and is a wonderful pedagogue. My lesson with her is a highlight of my week.
Daniel, guitar player in a Toto tribute band and aspiring musician
As a former student of Valerie who spent 7 years learning the drums under her guidance, I can confidently say that she is an excellent music teacher.
Her comprehensive approach to teaching combines not only the practice of the instrument but also music theory (I learnt how to count and read music notation).
The drums lessons included pad exercises to strengthen and balance both hands (different grips, fingers control and Moeller technique), the understanding of songs structures through active listening and of course, the practice behind the drum kit to develop specific techniques (coordination, synchronisation, control) as well as playing along songs.
As someone who started as a beginner, I particularly appreciated her patience and eclectic musical knowledge.
Her background as a multi-instrumentalist (guitar, bass, drums, voice) and songwriter gives her a unique perspective on music that makes her stand out among other teachers. For anyone looking to learn music online, you'll be in excellent hands.View more recommendations
