I have been teaching music at the ATLA school in Paris since 2006. It is not only a great place to learn music from the Pop-Rock end of things, but it's also a great place to meet like minded young musicians from all over the world. I've had students from Mexico, Brazil, Canada, the USA, Great Britain, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Sweden, and even China who have come to study singing and Songwriting with me here in Paris. The Open Doors day this Saturday April 7th, 2018 promises to be a special event with the ATLA chorale performing 5 songs, and some of my Songwriting students premiering their new songs written in my Songwriting class this year. I also will perform a song or two and will be available to answer any questions you might have about my classes or the ATLA experience in general. I'll also be able to inform you about our partnership in London with the ICMP music school there. See you there!
