My mother has always loved music, and she is a good pianist and piano teacher, even if it was not her profession. She began to teach me when I was 7, and continued to supervise my work until I was 13.

At the same time, I followed academic courses with a teacher who has learned with Levi and liked to make jazz improvisations on whatever thema people gave him.

Each year, in summer, I followed courses with russian teachers. One of them taught following the direct tradition of Rachmaninov.

After my Baccalaureat, I left my birthplace to follow scientific studies, and I stopped studying music, as it was really risky to be a professional pianist.

I continue however to listen to music and like to discover classical jazz. Jazzmen like Sydney Bechet, Mell Mezzrow and Big Bill Bronzy have all my admiration. I even have a book about the life of M. Mezzrow that explains the evolution of the jazz in the american society during the Prohibition period.

I also like new age music with compositors like Alan Stivell , or Ravi Shankar who are able to show the link between traditional and contemporary trends in global music.

This does not prevent me from appreciating traditional music from my region, my country and the world.
For example, the Provence region has a very rich traditional music which is issued from the development of a specific language ("langue d'oc" in french that gave the name of another french region : the Languedoc) and culture that has taken place in the Middle Age before the new born French Kingdom invaded the South of the actual France.

Since I am working in the College de la Confiance, a private confessional college, I have been asked to teach music to the youngest and I decided to hold course on the history of music instruments in Form I, and to teach the basis of tonic solfa in Form II. Happily for me, they appreciate.
I also bring them to the Francois Mitterand Conservatoire to let Form I pupils see and touch the instruments I have spoken about.
I must say that studying classical european music is quite rare in Mauritius, as the musical culture of people is mostly an indian one. So I try to compare both indian and european music to keep them interested!

One of my other pleasures is to sing in one of the 3 big choirs of Mauritius, the Chorale Singers (in Curepipe) : it keeps me in touch with a classical musical life which is very restricted here. We give 6 concerts by year, 3 for Christmas and 3 in June, in 3 churches settled respectively in Curepipe, Quatre-Bornes and Grand Baie.
