After teaching at the Conservatoire de Sucy-en-Brie in the Paris suburbs, Mié is currently flute teacher at the Conservatoire Jacques Ibert in the 19th arrondissement of Paris and head of the Improvisation Workshop.
Over the past 20 years, she has trained many pupils, from arrondissement students to Japanese and foreign students, from undergraduates to network specialists within the Paris CRR, always based on the idea of ‘training the fundamentals to encourage the spontaneous joy of music’.
In 2017 she set up the ‘Improvisation Workshop’, open to all instruments at all levels, which began with three students and has now developed into 3 workshops with 60 students aged 8 to 30.
The Improvisation Workshop is a place for free musical experimentation, where students are introduced to several improvisation languages, from jazz to folk music, via contemporary music, baroque, rock, pop and free improvisation, without any preconceived ideas. By using the ‘oral tradition’ of the non-European world, to put their horizons into perspective and explore different meanings of music without the fixed attitude towards scores, instead forming a new curiosity towards notation. In so doing, the workshop helps them to rediscover their own musical identity by performing with others, without being comparative or academic.
To broaden the scope of her work, she currently teaches with drummer Aidje Tafial and traditional percussion teacher Christophe Delaeter, who share the same pedagogical vision.
In 2023, the workshop visited a retirement home in the 19th arrondissement of Paris and took part in the “Symphonie des souvenirs” project, an initiative by visual artist Charly Aubry, in which they improvised on the theme of excavating the “memories of the elderly”, using their “drawings” as scores.
Their concert at the “la pop” barge (a multi-disciplinary creative venue in the 19th arrondissement of Paris) was selected by “Le Monde” as one of the “10 events to visit during the Paris Nuit blanche”.
She's involved in everything that can shake up students' senses, collaborating with Éric Frey's drama class, working with the current music workshop at the Paris Anim' Angèle Mercier center, taking part in the jazz festival on the quai de Paris, and in neighborhood festivity, as well as concerts with guest artists such as Caribbean music master Max Cilla or mime actor Noémi Sawa...
Since 2013, she has been contributing to musical education in the community, also teaching in public schools such as Jaurès elementary school and CHAM collège Varèse. In 2023, she won a prize from the City of Paris for teacher’s tenured positions for Paris Conservatories. She is also a guest teacher at CEFEDEM of Normandie.
