Sylvie G

Piano

Sylvie G is an accomplished musician, composer, and avant-garde piano teacher whose work embodies a unique fusion of tradition and innovation. With an extensive career that spans teaching, composing, and performing, she has established herself as a versatile and forward-thinking artist. Her teaching philosophy is rooted in preparing students for success across all levels of piano instruction, from beginners to advanced, with a focus on ABRSM and Trinity exams. She employs diverse methods tailored to each student fostering a deep understanding of music that encompasses technical skills, aural training, and theory.


As a composer, Sylvie's work stands out for its deconstructionist approach. She creates pieces that defy conventional musical forms, embracing unpredictability and the interplay between sound and silence. Her compositions are characterized by numbered value notes, both graphical and pitched, with spaces that dictate the pacing and evoke a dialogue between the known and the unexpected. This avant-garde style invites listeners into a realm where each musical gesture is a statement, and silence offers moments of reflection.


Trained at the Royal College of Music in London and under the guidance of notable composers like F. Donatoni, G. Magnanesi, and L. Berio at the Chigiana Academy in Siena, Sylvie's artistic journey is marked by continuous exploration. Her contributions to contemporary music include lectures and performances at prestigious venues such as the Sorbonne and international stages. Through her teaching and creative work, she honors the traditions she has inherited while reimagining them to create new, expressive musical experiences.

Testimonials: "Taking Piano lessons with Sylvie G has been a wonderful experience. Her patience, knowledge and passion for music make every class enjoyable and rewarding. I've improved so much in just a few months and now feel more confident playing pieces I once thought were too hard!" - Tian Y, student. "I’ve had the pleasure of being taught by Sylvie for the past six months, during which she has helped me make significant progress with my Grade 7 piano studies. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve improved greatly and gained confidence in my playing. She was especially helpful in preparing me for a recent concert performance of Schubert: Impromptus Op. 90, offering both technical insight and encouragement. Sylvie is not only a great teacher but also has a warm and friendly personality that makes lessons enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive piano teacher." - Anna, student. "Sylvie has been teaching my two daughters, Amalia and Almudena, and their progress has been exceptional. Amalia is currently working toward her ABRSM Grade 4 exam, and Almudena recently passed her Trinity Grade 7 with confidence and an excellent result. What sets Sylvie apart is her ability to adapt to each lesson and each child. Even on days when the girls aren’t quite in the mood, Sylvie always manages to gently guide them through the lesson with patience, encouragement, and just the right mix of structure and warmth. Thanks to her, both of my daughters not only progress through their grades, but genuinely enjoy playing the piano outside of lessons—simply for the joy of it. That love for music is something we truly value, and it’s a direct result of Sylvie’s thoughtful and inspiring teaching. We’re so grateful to have her, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a talented, dedicated piano teacher." - Professor Almudena, parent. "Sylvie has been teaching piano to both of my children, aged 5 and 9, and I couldn’t be more pleased with her approach and dedication. My son began lessons with her at age 4 with no prior experience, and she made his introduction to piano a fun and engaging journey. Using games, flashcards, and well-chosen educational books, Sylvie has taught him the basics with incredible patience and creativity. Thanks to her methods, he quickly became familiar with reading music and continues to make great progress. Sylvie has a wonderful ability to connect with children and tailor her teaching style to their individual needs. I highly recommend her to any parent looking for a caring, skilled, and effective piano teacher for their child." - Hinde, parent.
