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.

Music is one of humanity's most important and influential cultural assets that transcends language. The guitar gives you access to a wide range of genres from classical, pop, rock, reggae, polka and folk (and much more).
It doesn't take much to start playing the guitar and make some progress. With me you will learn how to feel comfortable on the fretboard, how chords are constructed and how to find the notes yourself. How to improvise in different styles and everything you need to learn your favorite songs.

The flute has a clear, bright, yet gentle sound that can be cheerful, delicate, or full of energy.
In my lessons, you'll learn to enjoy music naturally, step by step, always tailored to your level and interests. It's not just about technique, but also about expressing yourself, enjoying playing, and discovering everything the flute has to offer.

Lessons can be structured in different ways: through technique, studies and works, or by exploring pieces intended for special occasions – to be played with the family or even together with other musicians.

✏️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.✨
