About Me

For Joseph Beuys “artist” was the word to describe the essence of what it means to be a human being: The deep need and fundamental ability to create and be creative.

I started teaching with a belief that everyone indeed has an artist inside themselves and wanted to prove that through my practice.

To all my students I want to share my experience from my music education process and fill in the gaps which I consider to be left out from the literature or not pointed out clearly enough. Music making and understanding should be a pleasant experience, no matter how complex it gets...

Piano lessons, classical repertoire, jazz standards, composing and improvising on the piano

31.6 £ /h

Through my courses I will teach all levels of piano playing. My approach will consist of forming an individual repertoire according to each student's needs. In case that students want to integrate piano lessons with composing, that is also something I would strongly encourage, since piano is the most frequently used instrument for composing music.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato
Music is a great way to express emotions, sharpen the mind, build the focus and develop your creativity. Playing an instrument helps in the general development of children and gives adults pleasure and relaxation. Piano is one of the easiest instruments to learn and one of the most difficult to master.
At my lessons, you can make your first steps on piano, or develop your skills and knowledge. You will learn to play by ear every song you hear, to read music and chord symbols, to improvise and compose music. You will learn piano playing techniques, music theory and the basics of music composition and production. You will get practicing tools, written and audio material, which will help you to learn faster and more efficient.

I teach jazz improvisation for any level of playing. I have developed my own teaching model combining my experience with over 50 teachers i had from all over the world with modern teaching methods.
The song is our classroom.We go back and fourth through analisys and we break everything to pieces just to put it back back together. I find that it s inevitable to learn both thery together with guitar.
