My name is Gregor and I am a pianist and a piano teacher. I can help you or your children dive into the magical world of music. Through weekly individual lessons, you will develop skills of listening to, understanding, and playing music either as beginners, students preparing for entrance exams, or adult amateur pianists.

After finishing studies at four conservatories around Europe (Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, and The Netherlands), I am pursuing a musical career based in The Hague. Eight years of teaching experience allow me to adapt the teaching process to the individual needs of the student and my active concert career keeps my enthusiasm fresh.

About Me
I am a Slovenian pianist and teacher, currently residing in The Netherlands. My explorations of music have left me with a broad repertoire, stretching from 18th to 21st century. My interest lies in complexity of music and searching for poeticism and aesthetics, based on honesty rather than previously set out rules.

I studied Slovenia, Italy, Croatia and the Netherlands with renowned teachers Naum Grubert, Ruben Dalibaltayan, Hinko Haas and members of Trio di Parma. I received Prešern prize and Diploma Summa cum Laude from Academy of Music in Ljubljana for outstanding musical achievements during studies.

As a soloist with orchestras, I have performed, among others with Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra, Ljubljana Opera and Ballet Orchestra and Valerius Orchestra, The Hague. I play on numerous recitals in Netherlands, Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Spain and Romania, among others with internationally successful musicians, such as Tibor Molnar, Joachim Eijlander, Gilles Apap. The longest standing chamber group, I play in, is Piano Trio GUD, which has been playing many concerts around Europe for the last ten years.

I have competed on many competitions – as a chamber musician and a soloist and am prizewinner of Alberto Bertolini piano competition in Milan (2014), Cammeristi dell’ Alpe-Adria in Majano, Italy (2014), International Chamber music competition in Bled, Slovenia (2010) and many others.

My career so far has given me a unique perspective on the art of mentoring
young musicians. I have learned about the importance of the balance between guiding the students and letting them explore; the balance between the rational, explained through analysis of pieces, performance principles, etc. and the intuitive, which is emphatically transmitted through examples; and the balance between physical and spiritual aspects of musicianship

Rui
Hello there!
Welcome to my profile. I am Rui and I teach piano. The piano is known as the most complete musical instrument of all. This is because when playing it we can get all kinds of characters and sounds: very deep basses or super soft high notes; delicate melodies or dense harmonies (almost like an orchestra sometimes). This is one of the reasons why I love to play the piano, its versatility adapts to my everyday mood.
I would love to show you the wonders we can create with this amazing instrument!

Lessons
Every student is different, and by saying this I mean that I prepare every lesson specifically for each student. Some might be more shy, others might need more time to acknowledge some questions.
I believe that music (much like everything else) should be taught with patience and motivation.
You shouldn’t feel like you’re going against time, it should be the opposite. As a teacher, I always give priority to your motivation and excitement regarding the lesson’s activity. If I see that a student is not enjoying the lesson I have to improvise and turn it around.

When teaching, the most important thing for me is that you learn while having fun.
I have already some years of experience in giving piano lessons to people of all ages. I adapt the lesson content for every student individually, and I always give them the freedom to follow their musical taste and instincts. I also give a lot of focus to creativity and improvisation.
At the end of the lesson, I usually save a few minutes for the student to decide what he/she wants to do: maybe a little 4-hand improvisation, or maybe play a piece they have already learned and that they enjoy playing.

About me
Most of my studies and experience as a teacher took place in Portugal. I completed my Bachelor's Degree in Piano Performance in 2020.
I moved to The Netherlands in 2020 to attend the Master Program in Classical Piano Performance in the Royal Conservatoire of The Hague.
My academic studies were built on classical music but I also have some experience in pop and rock music.

I hope this motivates you to study piano with me! Looking forward to seeing you soon during your first lesson!

Hello! I'm a 25-year-old pianist finishing his Master's degree in Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. I have ample experience as a teacher, and performing as a soloist, chamber musician, orchestra keyboardist, and accompanist. I have been teaching since 2018 and love working with people of all kinds of music tastes. I will adapt to your musical interests and help you accomplish your objective.

On top of a piano teacher, I am a great piano coach, being able to help my students get where they want with the piano, even if they struggle with motivation to practice. I am easygoing, and I adapt to your expectations and rhythm, so we can work together in fulfilling your goals!

In my lessons, you will:
- Learn how to understand a score, with all the theoretical knowledge you need to approach the repertoire that you want to study.
- Learn how to practice the piano. Ever tried and struggled to focus or to develop as much as you wanted? I can help you with that.
- Learn to play the repertoire you want, with a step-by-step process that helps you develop more ability and security
- Learn the piano technique
- Learn how to enjoy music making! :)

For the more medium and advanced students, I also offer:
- Deep understanding of styles. I have done research on baroque and classical styles, and have studied with romantic, XXth century, and contemporary music experts, which has given me deep knowledge on how to understand the different styles of Classical Music.
- Advanced practice technique. Sometimes, the more you advance in the instrument, the harder practice can become. Know how to practice difficult technical passages and musical ideas.
- Sound control. Even if the sound in the piano might seem limited, it is not, it can simply be difficult to control. But it is the most important quality of a musical performance, alongside style.
- Great support. I will help you find motivation and organize your practice.

I also am a great support teacher. If you or your child is already studying in an institution and you want some extra help, I have always been able to help students who have found themselves improperly motivated by their main teacher, or who want help practicing.

Music is fun! Let's learn together.
