As a pianist and piano teacher, my goal has always been to bring people closer to classical music and to help them develop creativity, emotional and intellectual abilities through music. My intention as a musician is to connect the world of classical music with everyone and to make it understandable, interesting and close for everyone.

I teach piano playing with competence and joy! I have worked in various music schools for 7 years and taught privately. My unique and proven method for adult and small beginners will lead you to your goal without stress and pressure :)

This course is intended for beginners but also for advanced people who would like to deepen their approach to music. Whether you are an instrumentalist wishing to acquire basics in electronic music, or a "Producer" looking to learn music theory, I can guide you in a global or specialized approach to musical creation.
We may or may not have recourse to the use of the piano, which is an ideal tool for creating a bridge between electronic music and instrumental music.
All ages are welcome, I find it as easy to coach in musical creation for adults as I do musical awakening for children.

My focus is on the styles of rock/pop/jazz and improvisation. I would also be happy to delve into music theory and show you the basics (and beyond...) of harmony.

If you're not a grader, it doesn't matter! My first piano lessons were very note based and almost ruined my playing! I'm a firm believer that playing songs by ear from the start helps us absorb songs faster. Of course, the eyes also work and shape patterns, figures and tone sequences on the fretboard or. on the keyboard. Of course, I would also be happy to teach you how to read music.

In my course I will try to pass on to you with passion all the beauty that an instrument like the guitar is capable of giving.

I use a modern method that will allow you to immediately become familiar with the instrument and get into the swing of things! Increasing your passion from lesson to lesson, without ever getting tired.

In addition to deepening technique on the instrument, I prepare an in-depth study for each lesson that varies from student to student and follows a guideline (to be defined together) based on your artistic needs:
we will compose unreleased pieces with the loop station,
we will discover new music,
we will study how your favorite artist composes and structures their songs.

We will use techniques that will lead us to a concrete result in the shortest possible time!

Teaching materials are included in the course will be given at each lesson.

Growing with joy in playing – developing technique through favorite pieces.

One of the most exciting aspects of playing the piano is the ability to play favorite tunes from movies and Disney fairy tales. You can easily learn and play popular songs that both children and adults will enjoy. This makes practicing the piano even more interesting and inspiring, as you can enjoy familiar and beloved melodies.
Learn your favorite melodies with fun
In my lessons, we'll explore jazz and pop music together on the piano. We'll play the music you love. If you'd also like to learn classical works, we're happy to incorporate that music into the lessons. You'll also learn music theory and ear training (solfeggio) – in a relaxed and playful way, so the focus is always on fun.

✨ What to expect?✨

🌻 She is an experienced, patient and committed teacher and musician with a Bachelor’s degree on Jazz Piano and currently studying a masters in composition at HKB.

🌼 Different styles (jazz, classical, pop, world music...)

🌸 Personalized and tailored lessons for all ages and levels.

🌺 Technique, improvisation, harmony, composition, rhythm, music reading, accompaniment for singers...

🎶 What’s stopping you from mastering that song you love?🎶


✏️TEACHING CONCEPT. ✏️

💡 I like to approach music as a language. Just as we learn to speak by first listening,
understanding, recognizing, and imitating words before learning to read and write them, I
believe that musical learning should follow a similar path. That’s why I place strong
emphasis on aural development, listening, and internalizing sound before focusing on
notation.

💡 My teaching is based on experience, intuition, and exploration. I aim to create a space where
each student feels free to play, discover, and express themselves, encouraging them to
follow their own curiosity and find personal meaning in music.

💡 I always adapt to the needs and goals of each student. Some come with a clear desire to
study classical repertoire, and in those cases I introduce reading and technical work from the
beginning — but always in a way that connects with the music’s expressive and structural
elements, not just as abstract exercises. I believe analysis, understanding, and creativity can
go hand in hand with solid technical and reading skills. Others want to accompany
themselves while singing, or ask for tools to help them create and develop their own musical
ideas. I enjoy guiding each of them through these different paths, offering a wide range of
resources and approaches.

💡 I also pay close attention to each student’s musical interests when choosing repertoire.
Whether they’re drawn to classical, pop, jazz, or music from games or films, I believe it’s
possible to build strong musical foundations by working with music they connect with. No
matter the style, we can explore technical, rhythmic, harmonic, and expressive aspects that
will contribute to their overall development and motivation.

✨My goal is to nurture a deep, joyful, and personal relationship with music in every student,
regardless of age, level, or background.✨
