Do you want to start playing the piano, progress or simply learn to play the pieces you love? I will accompany you in your learning with a progressive, personalized and caring approach. I offer lessons at my home in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure for beginners and intermediate students, children, teenagers and adults. Since each student has their own desires and goals, I adapt to your level and pace. The objective is to learn the essential basics of piano while enjoying playing and progressing. 🎼 Course structure We will start gradually with the basics of music theory and reading scores, in order to allow you to become increasingly independent when faced with a score. We will then work on pieces chosen by the student or suggested according to their level and tastes. I can introduce you to different musical styles: classical music, pop, contemporary music, vocal accompaniment, etc. Over the course of the sessions, we will cover topics including: reading sheet music, coordination between the right and left hand, posture, rhythm, stress management and musicality. My goal is to enable you to progress step by step while developing your autonomy, musicality and confidence. Never played piano before? No problem! We'll start with the basics and progress gradually. Do you already have some basic knowledge? Together we can identify areas for improvement and design sessions based on your objectives. Do you want to learn how to accompany yourself while singing? As a singer-songwriter, pianist, and pianist myself, I can also teach you the basics needed to accompany yourself on the piano while singing. 🎶 My musical experience I have been playing the piano for 5 years and I have my Brevet d'Études Musicales (BEM), corresponding to the end of cycle 2 at the conservatory. As a contemporary music pianist, I have had the opportunity to perform in various settings: concerts, piano/voice duos, multi-instrumental groups, choirs and auditions. I am available to answer any questions you may have and would be delighted to discuss your level, desires, and objectives with you. Feel free to contact me to arrange an initial meeting. I look forward to meeting you! Musically, Silvia

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.
