Piano, Singing, Songwriting & Music Theory Lessons for Any Age / Level

From 34 £ /h

I am here to guide you through a crash course of whatever programme you want to get into, whether you're interested in the actual ABRSM qualification or just want to take up piano / singing / theory / songwriting as a hobby.
I tend to make my lessons appropriate to every student on a personal study level. I consider that every age, personality and practice level processes information differently, especially in a creative field. Although sticking to a tested curriculum, my teaching pace can be extended or reduced depending on the student's time and dedication. Being a recent graduate myself, I apply a student-centred approach to my teaching style, prioritising the primary goal standing behind the student's musicianship. On top of personalising my curriculum, I have previous experience in teaching according to the ABRSM grading system (1-8) and Suzuki, as well as helping students with school exam preparation.

About Me

Recently a graduate of ICMP (Institute of Contemporary Music Performance), I am a full time singer-songwriter, playing bar residencies around London (gigging at least 3 nights a week). My days are filled with my other two passions - teaching music and working as an events coordinator.

Born in Moldova, I relocated to the UK aged 13. My background is based on classical training (piano and musical theatre). I have been in music education / work since I can remember, relocating to London at 16 to pursue a (still developing) career in songwriting and music management. I started teaching fellow uni students and my friends 2 years ago to support myself and build a network. Starting off with piano lessons, I then expanded my teaching skills to music theory, vocals and songwriting. Since then, I've been practising teaching professionally, expanding my experience to all ages and levels, as well as continually expanding my range of qualifications.

I started playing piano at the age of 4, soon taking on singing around the age of 9 and then getting into musical theatre and acting for vocational training on top of school.
Having written my first song at 11, I never went a day without writing music again, soon making it my career and choosing commercial music over musical theatre - an act that turned into a 2:1 Bachelor degree completion at ICMP.
