Eugenie Piozin-Belloir
Piano & French
Hi, I’m Eugenie. I grew up in France and I have lived with my family in the Tasman region since 2008. I have wanted to start a school of music in Motueka for many years. In 2012, I created the Motueka music network which was a database of music teachers and performers in the region.
Today I am very excited to have created MusicLingo: an itinerant and local school of music and
Languages!
I teach piano from beginner to intermediate levels offering theory and technical exercises, reading sheet music and playing songs by ear and memory. My style of teaching is student focussed connecting with each student to match their learning style/needs.
I teach French as a first language guiding students to learn how to read, write and understand grammar. As a second language, I teach French through stories and songs to learn everyday phrases and vocabulary.
I can also offer help with NCEA exams and crash courses for people travelling to French speaking countries.
