Portrait 03 (La maîtresse)

Portrait 03 – La Maîtresse

A tender and playful piano portrait inspired by the gentle strength of a kindergarten teacher. La maîtresse, the affectionate way little children in France call their teacher, captures both the warmth of her smile and the patience in her guiding hand. Light, lilting melodies evoke the laughter of the classroom, while soft harmonies carry a quiet undercurrent of dedication and care. Moments of mischief sparkle like the bright eyes of her pupils, balanced by passages of calm that reflect her steady presence. This is a piece about nurturing hearts, shaping young minds, and the beauty of learning seen through a child’s eyes.
