Opernpianistin & Maestro Collaboratore (Oper Maribor) – Coaching für Oper/Lied

From 53.59 £ /h

I am a professional opera pianist and experienced Maestro Collaboratore at the Opera of Maribor, specialized in coaching singers in Opera, Lied and vocal repertoire. With many years of international experience in opera houses, conservatories and masterclasses, I help singers prepare their roles, arias and programs with confidence, musical precision and stylistic understanding.

My coaching focuses on:

Musical line, phrasing and style

Text, diction and dramatic intention

Role and aria preparation

Audition repertoire & stage readiness

Technical clarity and artistic expression

I adapt each session to the specific needs of every singer, offering a calm, supportive and highly professional working environment similar to an opera rehearsal studio. My goal is to help you build both artistic depth and technical security, whether you are a student, professional singer or preparing for auditions, concerts or exams.

I have worked extensively with singers in different institutions and production contexts, collaborating daily with soloists, conductors and directors. This practical experience allows me to guide you effectively through the musical, vocal and theatrical aspects of your repertoire.

I look forward to supporting you in your vocal and artistic development.

If you want to dive deeper into the wonderful world of music and learn to play the piano or organ and understand the theory behind it, please feel free to contact me.

I have many years of professional experience, master's degrees in both instruments, as well as in musicology.
I focus on both musical and technical aspects of organ and piano playing and work with students of all levels and ages: from beginners to conservatoires.

I have a handful of love for my job, as well as the will, the desire and the passion to share my knowledge and skills.
I look forward to your message and our creative journey together.

I am a cellist, composer and pianist from Chicago currently residing in Graz, Austria! I received my Bachelors in Cello and Composition in the USA from Indiana University and am currently pursuing my masters in Cello Konzertfach at Kunst Universität Graz. I have years of experience working as a private cello, piano and composition teacher. I am used teaching all levels, and have certification to teach string students as young as six years old from Indiana University's String Academy Program. In addition to teaching instrumental and composition lessons privately, I also have experience teaching music theory and aural skills as a graduate teaching assistant.

I adjust my teaching based on what you or your child would like to learn. From helping you learn to play a Bach cello suite, to Bohemian Rhapsody on piano, or get feedback and mentorship on your own compositions, I would be happy to play a part in your musical journey! :)

Hi! I am a professional pianist with over 15 years of formal education. I have won numerous prizes on competitions all over Europe, and had many live performances. Currently, I am studying as a post-graduate student at the Kunst University in Graz, with a Master's degree in piano and piano pedagogy from the University of Zagreb, Croatia.

I offer piano lessons at your home, aimed for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. We can work on any genre of music as long as we can find a suitable music score for it.

The lessons are only in English!

I offer piano lessons, tailored for you.

Whether you want to get to know the instrument, improve and optimise your technique, or just have fun learning something new, I’ve got you covered.

I specialise in classical music, but I’m very open to other genres that can be played from score.

Professor with a Higher Diploma in Piano from the Liceu Conservatory of Music in Barcelona and specializing in Spanish music from the Frank Marshall Academy (founded by Enrique Granados).

My curriculum is comprehensive and progressive. My teaching method focuses primarily on good sight-reading, combined with refined piano technique.

I also address learning difficulties such as postural problems, tension, and faulty touch.

My piano technique is based on the Enrique Granados school and his specific touch-based method, emphasizing sound and proper pedal use.

We will work on three basic sections: technique exercises, studies, and works from all styles (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.).

We will also cover music theory (theory + daily exercises from the ABSRM method), solfège, choral singing, written ear training, score analysis, and concert listening exercises.

In addition to my in-person lessons, my online classes feature high-quality audio and video specifically designed for musicians: via the Zoom video call app (with settings that typically offer better sound for piano), and using OBS production software so you can clearly see the keyboard and hands from different angles.
Sound is captured with Behringer stereo microphones (piano) and a separate microphone for vocals, and multiple screens are used to combine sheet music, explanation, and real-time demonstration.

The goal is to make the online lesson as close as possible to an in-person class.

I have 30 years of experience as a teacher. Lessons are personalized to each student's needs, for all levels and ages (children and adults).

The lesson lasts 45 minutes and is completely customized to your needs and preferences. We can work on your technique and musicality or just learn how to play your favorite songs so you can show off to your friends ;) I think I am a really patient person and I believe that with hard work, anyone can achieve anything! The lessons are optimized for everyone: from beginners to experienced piano players.

• I try to be creative in my lessons and it is important to me that the students are not physically or mentally tense when playing. I also teach basic theoretical knowledge that makes playing the piano easier and if the students have an inclination or interest in improvisation, I develop these skills as well.
• Since I have had many different students with many different needs, I can adapt the lessons to your individual needs.

I am a pianist with extensive experience in the art of piano playing and teaching. Therefore, I can not only teach piano playing, but also do so in a friendly and motivating atmosphere. Working with students of all ages and levels, I know how to make lessons interesting, varied and beneficial. In my lessons, you will not only acquire skills in piano music, but also basic knowledge of music theory, which will make working with musical material much easier. Thanks to my many years of experience as a pianist in hotels in various countries, I can not only teach you how to play classical pieces, but also help you play your favorite hits by ear, read sight quickly and accurately, and improvise.

In my lessons, we’ll go over piano basics, reading charts, and simple music theory - all in a relaxed, beginner-friendly way. No pressure, just learning at your own pace!

I’m also a sound designer and music producer, so if you’re curious about starting a music project, designing sounds, or mixing, we can explore that too!

Feel free to reach out and let’s chat about your goals. Let’s make some music!

Whether you're into jazz, musical theatre, pop, soul, rock, classical music, or just love to sing or play piano - I’m here to help you level up your skills!

I offer customized lessons in voice technique, piano, solfège (ear training), and music theory, along with simple yet effective techniques for accompanying yourself on piano while singing.

My goal is to help you improve your skills while also encouraging creativity and personal expression in music in a positive, supportive environment.

All skill levels welcome—whether you're a total beginner or looking to polish your skills. No stress, no pressure – just learning music in a way that works for you!

I find piano lessons very important because they stimulate our brains and develop our coordination. Playing the piano is also challenging, as you have to pay attention to many things and have a lot of patience. For me, teaching is a collaboration in which student and teacher achieve a common goal. With motivation, patience, and an individualized approach, I want to accompany my students on their musical journey.
