I am a professional pianist who has studied in St Petersburg Conservatory (in Russia) and at the moment work as a pianist, organist and concertmaster in different locations and I am willing to share my knowledge with people who have a passion for music.
I am mainly looking for students who want to pursue music/piano as a hobby and not a professional career due to timings. In a short period of time you will have mastered all the basic skills required to play any music of you choice and impress others.

Hello! I offer professional guitar lessons for electric, acoustic, classical, and ukulele in a friendly, stress-free atmosphere for both beginners and advanced players. I've been teaching for about six years and have been involved with the instrument for over twelve years.

I'm a finalist in global competitions and a winner in national contests, both as a solo artist and in groups.

Whether you're taking your first steps or need help with technique and theory, you've come to the right place! I approach the instrument comprehensively. We can work on specific styles: technical prog metal playing, rock, jazz standards, blues, classical, fingerstyle. I also have significant knowledge of recording and guitar processing in DAW software and can assist in that area as well.

After each lesson, I provide educational materials.

Using jazz music as my specialism, I am able to teach even the most technically challenging concepts in their most basic forms and transfer them to the guitar in their most simple terms. I have taught the guitar, music theory and GCSE and A-Level Music syllabuses for six years to students of all ages and abilities and across every imaginable genre.

This class offers a comprehensive musical education designed to help students of all ages and skill levels unlock their musical potential. The teaching categories include beginner-level piano, ukulele, and violin playing, as well as music theory and composition for students from beginner to advanced levels. Our aim is to build a solid musical foundation while fostering creativity and a deeper understanding of music. In addition to instrumental skills, students will learn how to read and write musical notation, understand harmonic structures, and create their own compositions.

For students interested in language acquisition, I also offer Portuguese and English language instruction tailored for non-native speakers. These classes focus on speaking, listening, reading, and writing, helping students to build confidence and fluency. Whether you're looking to learn a new language from scratch or improve your existing skills, my approach integrates language learning with cultural insights, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging educational experience.
