From 72 £ /h

Whether you are taking your very first steps at the keyboard, returning to the piano after years away, or looking to refine your technique, these tailored lessons are designed to help you thrive.

While my teaching is rooted in the rich traditions of classical music—focusing on healthy technique, expressive playing, understanding the language of music—every lesson is customized to the student's unique goals, pace, and interests. From Bach, Mozart, through Chopin to modern fundamentals, we will build a beautiful musical foundation together.


What We Will Focus On:

• Refining Technique & Articulation: Working on hand physiology, finger independence, and a relaxed posture to overcome technical hurdles and play with greater ease.

• Musical Interpretation: Moving beyond the notes on the page to explore phrasing, dynamics, and historical style, helping you bring true character to your repertoire.

• Analytical Reading & Efficiency: Deepening your understanding of scores and harmonic structure so you can practice more effectively and learn new pieces faster.

• Repertoire Expansion: Building a rewarding selection of music—focused on the rich classical tradition—tailored to your current level and musical aspirations.
Extra information
To make lessons as convenient and productive as possible, I offer three different options for our sessions:

- At the Studio: We can meet at a professional rehearsal studio in Wandsworth. This is a wonderful option if you want to practice on a high-quality, well-maintained piano in an inspiring acoustic environment. (Please note: a £7.50 studio room fee applies to each session in addition to the lesson rate).

- In the Comfort of Your Home: If you have a piano at home and prefer not to travel, I can come to you. I am happy to travel to homes located within 30 to 40 minutes of Fulham (including Chelsea, Kensington, and surrounding areas).

- Online: If you have a busy schedule or prefer the flexibility of remote learning, we can hold our 60-minute sessions via Zoom or Skype.

About Me
Hello! I am a professional pianist, conductor, and vocal coach based in London. Music has been the driving force of my life, taking me across Europe to study, perform, and collaborate with incredible artists.

As an educator, my philosophy is rooted in the belief that music is a deeply rewarding, personal journey. Whether I am working with a student who is discovering classical music for the first time, an adult returning to the keys, or an advanced player refining their interpretation, my goal is to help them play with physical ease, confidence, and genuine artistic expression.

Beyond teaching, I work actively within the UK music industry as a conductor and opera repetiteur. This active professional life keeps my own playing sharp and allows me to bring real-world insights, high-level technique, and fresh energy into every single lesson.

Has your previous piano learning experience been a bit dull? Are you seeking a fresh approach to piano lessons? In my piano lessons, inspired by the Jacques-Dalcroze method, you'll enjoy a unique musical journey beyond just playing the piano and studying theory. You'll also be singing, improvising on the keyboard, and even moving to the music through dance. Learning piano should never be boring, and it certainly isn’t for me or my students. With me, you’ll discover the countless ways the piano can express music. You’ll explore compositions from various composers, periods, and styles, from the classical works of Mozart, Bach, Debussy, and Chopin, to modern pieces, pop songs, and jazz, including Shostakovich. Through eurhythmics exercises, you'll not only play but also feel the music by moving with it, enhancing your musical knowledge and deepening your emotional connection to sound. If you're unsure about moving with the music, don’t worry—I’ll be there to guide you in finding a way to enjoy and love music. I've played the piano since I was five years old and hold a Bachelor’s degree from the Geneva Music University. More recently, I completed my MA in Interdisciplinary Dance Performance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. While my teaching experience mainly focuses on children aged 5-10, I am also well-versed in providing music training and piano lessons for adults. Most lessons are 60 minutes long, but I’m happy to adapt the timing and content based on your needs. Please feel free to get in touch if you're interested in lessons. I look forward to sharing my passion for music with you!
