What is included in lessons and what you will learn
You will learn essential knowledge for piano including how to read music, theory, rhythms, key signature, scales, analysis, ear training and more.
You will have exercises focused to train your technical abilities combined with theoretical and musical approach.
Either being a beginner or an intermediate student, you will have the ability to prepare for concerts, master classes, auditions, theory tests, examinations, and competitions in both solo, and chamber music repertoire.
Piano lessons will be organized according to your level and interests. You will have the ability to explore not only classical repertoire, but also pop/jazz or jazzed up classical repertoire.
You can book a trial lesson
I find that the biggest motivation for students is the ability to study and learn the music they listen to and like the most. Everyone has a unique taste and wish. Therefore, I started to write arrangements for my students.From classical to popular music, from famous to little-known pieces, from piano solo to 10 hand chamber music projects. Here you can find some of my arrangements for yourself, your ensemble, or your students.
