Nicole Coppey, a Swiss artist and music teacher with a remarkable and profound human sensitivity, extends her many teaching and artistic activities to the interaction of the arts, linking them to the fundamentals of the human being. Based on this philosophy, in 1997 she founded her own School for Musical Art (www.123musique.ch), focusing on training, creation and artistic expression.

Her teaching and artistic activities cover a wide range: teaching; international collaborations in the field of music education and professional teaching; artistic interventions at festivals; writing, performing, publishing and exhibiting poems; video transcriptions of artistic concepts, etc.

Poetry remains for her a profound source of creation, in an interaction generated between the music of words and the rhythm of verbal sounds. Her sensitivity and conviction in the profoundly authentic message of world music inspire her to develop innovative concepts that bring together several artistic fields in projects conducted internationally.

Author of collections of poetry and calligraphic poems, she explores new horizons by travelling the world and diversifying her means of expression and transmission, from oral to written, from paper to screen, from speaking to singing, from obscure to luminous, ... from the element to the Whole.

Internationally recognised through the award of international poetry prizes, including the International Prize for Audiovisual Poetry 2020 awarded by the Claudine de Tancin Academy, and the Guillaume Apollinaire Prize 2023 awarded by the Société des Poètes Français for her collection of calligram poems  'Lune Soleil de l'Âme'.
