In my career as a teacher, I have crossed paths with many musiciens, harpsichord players from distant continents and horizons, all of them with such different sensibilities!
From Student to Colleague!
From Student to Colleague!
Helping each one to develop, to give of their best to the music and to the public, listening to their aspirations and passions … all of this is a wonderful source of motivation.
Finally, seeing the students fulfilling themselves as performers or teachers is what every teacher aims for!

It was one of the most precious moments in my musical life to work with Béatrice Martin. She sincerely cares about her students and this attitude gave enormous support to me, which was the most important and fundamental thing for my musical development. She has great insight into what each student truly needs, and knows how to guide them with methodical and multi-angled approaches. Her teaching still inspires and helps me in both my solo and continuo playing, not to mention in teaching my own students.
Béatrice is not just a wonderful harpsichordist, but an intelligent pedagogue and an earnest musician who communicates with her audience through music, which I deeply admire.

During an introductory lesson with Béatrice, her advice on the dynamics of the harpsichord in a Scarlatti sonata left a permanent impression on me :
« You can communicate with the public all the emotions and all the subtle nuances of your instrument. They will project all the way to the back row if your touch and articulation have absolute clarity and amplitude. »
That’s the trick !

Béatrice instilled in me a profound admiration for the harpsichord during my studies at Juilliard. The inimitable verve and erudition she demonstrates in performance is matched by the care, attention, and patience of her teaching. Through Béatrice’s thoughtful guidance I learned to discover ways in which each instrument uniquely breathes and sings.

Béatrice made me be aware about sound projection, precision of movement, and to think of myself as a true performer. She was always attentive to my every gesture, to every detail, guiding my musical intuition with an enormous enthusiasm. Unforgettable moments always accompanied by her immense generosity and deep inspiration.

The first time I heard Béatrice playing the harpsichord, the sound she produced from the instrument was so powerful that I knew at once that I wanted to work with her.
I was not to be disappointed: she was to instill in me a demanding and careful attitude to my work, her scientifically effective fingering technique and intelligent phrasing.…
Her demonstrations at the harpsichord are worth a thousand words, and both the kindliness inherent in her teaching and the confidence she gave me enabled me to mature from student to performing musician.
Béatrice’s advice and her words are with me every day in my work!

La première fois que Béatrice se mit au clavecin devant moi, l’instrument sonna de manière si puissante que je sus immédiatement que je voulais travailler avec elle.
Je ne fus pas déçu : elle me transmit l’exigence et le soin dans le travail, sa science des doigtés, l’intelligence du phrasé…
Ses exemples au clavecin valaient mille mots et sa bienveillance ainsi que sa confiance me firent passer du stade d’étudiant à celui de musicien.
Il n’y a pas de séance de travail où un conseil ou bien une phrase de Béatrice ne me traverse l’esprit !
