From 64.31 £ /h

Lessons can be in both English and Dutch.

I'm a Bulgarian concert pianist and teacher currently living in the Netherlands. I've received my Bachelor in Classical Piano at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen and my Master's Degree in Classical Piano at the Conservatory of Amsterdam. I specialize in students that are ambitious and looking for the best quality lessons. I teach students to make the most out of their practice, to overcome stage fright and important musical knowledge like how to phrase and also help students solve problems like how to play a passage faster, or why a certain passage isn't working. I also review videos that you sent in to me, that can be a review of your practice or a review of your performance.

Hello there, ever since I was a teenager I have always admired musicians in small and gigantic stages alike, and have wondered how such marvelous magic could possibly be created from their fingertips. If you are reading this, then maybe you feel the same way towards the piano as I do!

I can offer myself to explore with you, with my experiences coming from jazz piano playing, how it works on the piano: basic playing skills, chords and how to voice them, playing solo lines, harmonic knowledge to write your own song, learning to read a lead sheet with only melody and chords, and so many more.

Here are some of the goals that you and I can work together to make it happen:

1) Learn to play your favorite tunes on piano or electric piano
2) Learn to accompany yourself while you are singing
3) Learn to play in a band setting
4) Learn to write and play your own songs
5) Learn the keyboard skills for your home production gears (i.e. MIDI keyboard controllers)
6) Learn to improvise on the piano

Now, a little bit about myself; the moment I decided that I should try for music came much later compared to my colleagues. I started very late, and thus had to come up with methods of teaching myself fast and efficiently. And I believe that my own experiences coming from the struggles I've had could be of help to you, to understand the task at the hand better and to come up with plans on how to handle them.

Still, at the end of the day, progress by itself would be not our ultimate goal; it would be to have fun sitting in front of the piano!

If you are interested, hit me up!

Piano lessons for beginners and for those who would like to play as a hobby.
I created a special program for students who want to play any kind of music (popular, jazz, classical), but can't spend a lot of time studying.
You will learn how to read and play sheet music and chords. We cover the basics very fast so you will start playing your favorite songs right away.

I also cover some music theory that will help you get a better understanding of what you are playing. In this way the skills you get can then be used for playing other instruments, composing and songwriting.

---- PIANO AND MUSIC THEORY TEACHER ----
--- FOR ALL LEVELS AND AGES ---

TOPICS:
1) From the Beginning (Learn How to Play Piano from the Basics: hand position and first rules)
2) Classical Piano Repertoire (Learn How to Play Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and other Romantic Composers)
3) Jazz Piano Improvisation (Learn How to Improvise on Piano and How to Play Jazz Tunes)
4) Music Theory (Learn How to Read Music and How to Play a Score)
5) Music Composition/Arrangement (Learn How to Compose an Original Piece and How to write an Arrangement)

Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced piano player or music student, we can set up a study plan according to your goals and your wishes.

As a piano teacher I will help you to develop your music skills. Playing music will help you a lot in your life because it challenges the brain to make different neurons, due to the coordination used in playing piano. I give classes for any age.

Hi, I'm Sterre! In 2024 I got my bachelor's degree in classical piano at the conservatory in Rotterdam. I'm currently doing my master's degree at the Prins Claus Conservatory in Groningen. I regularly give concerts, besides that I also really enjoy giving piano lessons to children and adults who are motivated to learn to play this instrument! I give piano lessons in Groningen.

My passion for playing the piano started when I was 11 years old. I was staying with a friend who had a piano. At first I wasn't very interested, but by chance I had a piano app on my phone that allowed you to play the easy version of Für Elise and other pieces. Because I thought it would be more fun to play on a real piano, I sat down at it. I enjoyed it so much that I played the piano the rest of the day!

Later I got a piano myself. I taught myself to read notes and the theory around it. I progressed very quickly, because within a year I was accepted to the preparatory course of the conservatory in Rotterdam. (Havo/Vwo for music and dance.) When I finished the preparatory course I continued with the Bachelor at the Rotterdam conservatory. At the moment I am studying in the first year of my Master.

Piano lessons:
First we discuss your goals with each other to see where you want to grow towards. I then adapt my lessons accordingly.

Furthermore, I find it important to focus the lessons on the basic principles of piano playing. Notation, rhythmic skills and a good body and hand position. In addition, I find it very important to teach expression and musicality. But the most important thing is to have fun playing the piano!

Anyone can learn to play the piano!
From the age of 5 I also give piano lessons to children. I teach in a playful way to keep it interesting for children. I work with a nice lesson book with nice assignments and clear explanations.
