A music school for all levels and all generations.

The philosophy of our school

"Work always looks easy when you have fun doing it."

PIANO ACADEMIE

Founded in 2015 by pianist and teacher Mi-Young LEE, PIANO ACADEMIE transcends more than 20 years of experience in piano teaching. Our school is the fruit of a passion and an ambition: to offer personalised teaching that has often been lacking, causing disappointment and premature abandonment of piano learning.Our teaching philosophy is based on 4 main pillars, creating a unique piano learning experience.

Pleasure at the centre

At PIANO ACADEMIE, we believe that music should be a source of joy. That’s why we put the pleasure of playing at the heart of our teaching.

Public performances

PIANO ACADEMIE gives its students the opportunity to showcase their talent in public right from the start, through auditions and performances in hospitals, retirement homes and railway stations

.

Rapid progress

To maintain the enthusiasm and momentum of our students, we are committed to encouraging their rapid progress.

Awakening to musicality

We harness our students’ imaginations to work on musicality from the start of their journey, transforming each note into a vibrant story.

    Maria Sandro
    Je cherchais pour mes enfants une école proposant l'exigence d'un conservatoire et la créativité d'un artiste... Je suis tombée par hasard sur Mi-Young LEE. Moins d'une heure avec elle et j'ai été conquise. Cela fait maintenant 4 ans et aucun regret !
