About Me


HI EVERYONE! WELCOME TO MY MYSPACE PAGE !
BONJOUR ET BIENVENUE A TOUS SUR MA PAGE MYSPACE "SPECIALE COMPOS" !
..
I started playing the piano when I got 9 years old. I started out at the Music Conservatories of Cannes, and Nice, in south of France. But then I left to Germany to pursue my piano studies with Peter Eicher. After that, I moved to Finland to enter Nikita Jushanin's class, teacher at the St Petersburg Music Conservatory, in Russia. (My years abroad...the best years ever!!!really!!!!!I keep so fantastic souvenirs from these years!And from my friends there!!!).
I took part and won 1st prizes in several national and international Competitions "Steinway&Sons Piano Competition (Hamburg, Germany), The World Piano Competition (Cincinnati, USA), The Mozart Special Prize (Stuttgart, Germany)...)
Besides all that, I've also worked with piano masters such as Nikita Magaloff, Pascal Devoyon, Jean-Jacques Rouvier, Vladimir Felstman, Isabelle Dubuis, Lev Natochenny,Yui-Ying Tawastjerna, Aquiles delle Vigne...
As for the rest of my years in France, ..well, I got my 1st Prize in Piano (with Marie-Paule Siruguet) and Chamber Music at the Boulogne-Billancourt National Conservatory, and entered also the Teaching Pedagogical School "Cefedem de Rueil-Malmaison", where I got my National Teaching Diploma in Piano.
I've been teaching now since 1997, in several music schools or Conservatories in Paris and its region, and have also been an accompanist for other intruments, singers ; I have been an accompanist in several Competitions or for exams (Tchaikovsky International violin Competition (Russia), Vieuxtemps Competition (Belgium), International saxophone Competition(France), Examens-Concours du C.N.F.P.T ...)
...I am actually still teaching, since I really found out how much I loved this job, and my students. A real passion.
Besides, I've had the great pleasure and chance to work and accompany the violinist Marie Cantagrill, for concert tours, as well as on 2 of her ALBUMS (Marie Cantagrill - Romantic and Virtuoso ; and "Récital Slave"). Moments of pure pleasure to be able to work with such an incredibly talented artist!
Apart from all this, I've been also composing since i was 11 years old. I can still remember how it all started when I discovered Mozart's music. A real shock for me!(in the best possible way!!!) It just determined entirely my future in music, and my passion for composing, which has never weakened since then, even though I haven't had too much time to spend on it these past years, unfortunately!
My first composition (a little piece called "Sérénade à Luisenpark") got published at the Lemoines Editions, when I was 13, and won an European Prize for youth, which has definitely encouraged me to continue on this path, and work harder and harder on my passion. I have composed many pieces, most notably for piano, but also for violin and piano, Double-Bass, violin and piano, pieces for "Ensembles", A Concerto for piano and orchestra (composed when I was around 15 , and that I played in "Première Mondiale" in Asnières, with Christian Manen, conductor of the "Orchestre de Cadets d'Asnières), A violin Concerto, an organ piece, and other forms of pieces...And my "Romance in D Major for violin and piano" has been published at the Barcarolles Editions. I'm trying different styles now and forms of compositions. I'm eager to discover miscellaneous musical universes, and to explore deeper my musical inner world.
Now, I feel like I need to try to find more spare time for my passion.And I hope to be able to work in the future on films scoring too.Something I have meant to do ever since I composed an original soundtrack for a short-length movie when I was young. So, I feel blessed to be a musician, to be able to express myself through music...it is the most wonderful way to express oneself isn't it?
So, I hope you will enjoy visiting my page, (even though I haven't had time to work too much on it yet...)and I wish you all the best. Hoping to share beautiful musical moments in the future with you.
..
Véronique :)

Influences: Concerning my own compositions... well...So many influences...Actually, I'm trying to explore different styles..depends on the mood! Well...of course, first of all, classical music!..but is that really surprising?...I love Mozart!!! It was such a shock for me (in a positive way!) when I discovered his music when I was small..he's the one that has made me want to compose when I was about 9...but of course, Rachmaninov (amazing piano music, isn't it?!!!) Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Sibelius (the violin concerto is just amazing for me!)Ravel (most especially the piano Concerto in G...(2nd part...hmmmm!It's magical!!!!),I love the violin Repertoire..well ...and so many other composers and pieces in fact!!...orchestra masterpieces...Orchestral music is so incredible!!!!And I admire also immensely film music composers like Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Thomas Newman, Leonard Bernstein, Philippe Rombi, Danny Elfman, James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, Joel Mc Neely, Maurice Jarre, Georges Delerue, Vladimir Cosma, Richard Addinsel,...well..so many...But I also love a lot of other things in music. I listen to so many different styles...it really depends on the mood...I just can't stay without music for very long!!!!!so, I guess, at some point a little bit of all that has played a role in my love of music and composing...Am always eager to discover more, and as different things as possible. For me music is emotion, is being touched in my soul, and ...music's atmospheres that will linger on and will remind you of moments, emotions...all through your life..it must speak to you.it's the best way of communicating isn't it? always sincere and direct...So I'll keep trying to explore more of all that, and work, and work and work on it... : )
