Born in Brest in 1990, Maëla first obtained her Musical Diploma at the Music Conservatory of Brest in 2007 and then perfected with Olivier Derbesse at the Jacques Ibert Conservatory (CMA19) in Paris. She graduated with distinction from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in 2014 (class of Ronald van Spaendonck).

In parallel, she studied the bass clarinet at the CRR of Paris with Jean-Marc Volta and also made several Master classes with French clarinetists such as Jacques Di Donato and Bruno Martinez.
