I believe that every student has unlimited potential, and I enjoy adapting to different personalities. Individuality, passion and confidence are some of the important keys to success. I start with technical exercises, and we work on pieces in parallel to develop musicality and phrasing. My interest is mainly classical, but I can teach other styles, e.g. film music, pop and jazz. I can also give music theory lessons if necessary

I strive to provide the most comprehensive music lessons for students of all level. I balance my lessons between fun and progress, using various teaching methods, activities and technologies. With over 15 years experience, I have taught some 10,000 hours of one-to-one instrumental lessons. I have taught over 100 individual students ranging in age from four to 75+; from beginners to diploma-level, both amateurs and professionals.
Whether you have a child at the start of their musical journey, are an adult beginner or returning to music after a break, I can guide each student in the most effective and efficient way to reach the full potential.

I successfully finished my Postgraduate Artist Diploma studies at the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music & Dance.
