Holistic Online Piano Lessons for Teenagers & Adults | Ergonomic Technique, Ear Training & Sight-Reading

From 57 £ /h

Learning the piano should not be a mechanical chore of dry drills or overwhelming frustration. Playing an instrument is an enjoyable, holistic process that harmonizes your body posture, hand ergonomics, and musical ear.

Whether you are an adult beginner fulfilling a long-held dream, someone returning to the keys, or looking to build solid music reading and ear-training skills from scratch, my lessons offer a supportive, safe, and pressure-free environment where making mistakes is welcomed as a natural step of growth.

In our lessons, we focus on:

Ergonomic & Tension-Free Technique: Playing with relaxed wrists, arms, and shoulders to prevent strain, fatigue, and stiffness.

Interactive Sheet Music Reading: Learning to read notation and rhythms intuitively without getting lost in complicated rules.

Ear Training & Solfege Integration: Developing your musical ear so you truly understand and feel the music you play.

Customized Repertoire: Working on pieces you actually love across classical, contemporary, and popular styles.

Tailored Practice Support: Step-by-step guidance and digital materials provided to ensure confident, independent home practice.

Extra information

Lessons are conducted 1-on-1 via Zoom (45 or 60 minutes).

Required Setup: An acoustic piano or digital keyboard (preferably 88 keys), a stable internet connection, headphones/earphones to prevent audio feedback and hear real-time feedback clearly, and a device positioned so your hands and keys are visible.

Language & Communication: I conduct international lessons in English. While I am not a native speaker, I use straightforward explanations and quick translation tools when necessary to ensure complete clarity.

Digital sheet music and customized practice notes are provided after each lesson.

About Me

I am an opera singer, vocal coach, and piano instructor dedicated to a healthy, anatomical, and holistic approach to music education. At the core of my teaching philosophy lies treating the voice not as a rigid mechanical drill, but as an integrated whole involving the nervous system, psychology, and vocal biomechanics.

Unlike harsh and judgmental traditional methods that trigger performance anxiety, I offer a safe, warm, and supportive space where making mistakes is welcomed as a natural step of learning. Whether working on strain-free high notes, pitch matching from scratch, or functional hoarseness recovery, I guide each student in discovering their natural and effortless voice. I also provide customized digital audio exercises after each lesson to help you build solid muscle memory at home.

Holistic Online Voice Lessons & Vocal Coaching with an Opera Singer | Vocal Biomechanics, Pitch Matching & Vocal Health

57 £ /h

If you struggle with vocal fatigue, throat tightness on high notes, fear of pitch-matching, or non-surgical hoarseness, you can leave those obstacles behind. Singing and healthy voice production are not fixed, innate talents; they are learnable skills rooted in vocal biomechanics, nervous system regulation, and mind-auditory harmony.

At the core of my teaching is an anatomical and holistic approach that frees the voice from rigid, high-pressure drills. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where mistakes are welcomed as a natural part of growth, helping you release involuntary tension in the jaw, tongue root, neck, and posture.

In our lessons, we focus on:

Biomechanical Range & Ease: Expanding your vocal range and hitting bright, powerful high notes without squeezing or straining the throat.

Vocal Health & SOVT Recovery: Restoring vocal stamina and clarity in cases of functional hoarseness, raspiness, or early vocal fatigue using semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT / Lax Vox) and vocal massage techniques.

Pitch Matching & Ear Coordination: Eliminating the fear of singing out of tune with step-by-step auditory exercises designed to accurately connect your ear and vocal muscles.

Anxiety & Postural Alignment: Managing performance anxiety and body tension through nervous-system-calming breathwork and balanced postural habits.

Occupational Voice Coaching: Strain-free speaking and stamina training for teachers, public speakers, lawyers, and voice professionals.

Tailored Digital Practice: Custom audio exercises provided after each lesson to solidify healthy muscle memory at home.

I am an Italian soprano, graduated from the Dutch National Opera Academy. I work as a soloist as a freelance singer, and I teach singing to students of different levels and ages for many years.
The most important thing during my lessons is to help the student find a healthy and comfortable way of singing!
During the first part of the lesson, we will focus on Technique and breathing, while during the second part of the lesson we will focus on the repertoire chosen together with the student, applying the aspect of the technique that we worked on previously in the lesson.

Welcome to the music class!

Here, we are gonna discover the wonders of learning an instrument. From reading note letters, implementing a proper form to sight reading a piece, we are gonna learn in our own pace. If you're just learning music now and it feels like there's a lot to understand, don't worry we're gonna start from the basics. I will help you understand music and its elements.

With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.

The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.

If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.

Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

The rule is simple: don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself! Students are encouraged to try, fail, and overall be proactive in learning new information in bite-sized chunks: all of that in a warm and comforting environment.

Depending on the personal goal of the student, we will learn/refine/explore the following topics:
- Fundamental techniques of playing electric bass
- Understanding and coming up with a bassline
- What makes it groove?
- How to improvise: soloing and walking bass
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

Do you have trouble reading music? Do you love listening to music, but don't understand time signatures, keys or chords? Music theory often sounds abstract, but with the right explanation and concrete examples it suddenly becomes a lot more logical, and even fun :)

For whom?
- Beginner or advanced musicians who want to better understand what they are doing.
- Students preparing for music theory exams (e.g. music school, entrance exams).

What can you expect?
- Clear explanation, at your own pace.

About me
I obtained a Grade 8 diploma in Music Theory and also a Grade 8 Piano from the Royal Schools of Music. In addition, I hold a diploma in Audio Engineering from Hofa College. I am active as a music artist and producer myself. Thanks to this combination of classical training and practical experience, I know how important it is to make theory understandable, concrete, and musical. I use my own piano during lessons to clarify everything visually and audibly.

Possible topics:
- Learn to read music.
- Scales, chords & harmony.
- Form and analysis (classical, jazz or pop).
- Rhythm, time signatures & tempo.
- Music theory for producers/songwriters.
- Songwriting.

Classical music has evolved over more than a thousand years into a rich and complex art — one that requires not only passion, but also trained listening and understanding.

- Ear training based on integrated solfège and musical harmony

- Essential music theory

- Writing exercises and dictations, with clear guidance on techniques to master them

These foundations will help you:

- Grasp the function of musical elements

- Gain a clearer and fuller understanding of music

- Improve your playing and musical memory

- Improve musical reading

- Express music with clarity and confidence

Whether you are:

- An amateur with an intermediate or high level

Or

- A musician aiming to go professional

...these lessons will help you connect more deeply with music, perform with greater accuracy, and enjoy it more than ever.

According to your musical level, I will guide you through short and basic daily exercises using a clear step‐by‐step method:

- Each exercise lasts from 5 to 15 minutes

- Essential to practise regularly for maximum efficiency

- Not overly difficult, but requires a bit of perseverance (just 10 minutes a day) to obtain the best results

📍 Available online and in‐person in Paris (preferable). But a mix of both is also possible.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Hello, my future student!
I would love to offer you a different approach to the guitar music you love!

I am an experienced guitar teacher with seven years of teaching experience in both public and private schools. During the pandemic, I also started teaching online, and I have continued offering online lessons ever since.

My students come from different backgrounds and have a wide range of musical interests. Sometimes they introduce me to music I have never heard before — and I love that! We can learn the songs and repertoire you enjoy while also building the skills you need to become a confident and versatile guitarist.

Of course, good musicianship comes with good technique, and I will make sure you develop a solid technical foundation so that you can feel more comfortable and free when playing the music you love.

Whether you are looking for a guitar teacher for your child or finally want to make your dream of learning guitar as an adult come true, you can expect our lessons to be both fun and effective.

My international experience includes concerts and studies across Europe, including Serbia, Slovakia, Poland, and Spain. Along the way, I studied music pedagogy and earned diplomas in both Performing Arts and Music Pedagogy from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava.

Lessons are available in English, Spanish, Serbian, or Slovak.

If you would like to know more about the lessons, feel free to get in touch. I would be happy to answer your questions.

See you soon! 🎸

I am only prepared to go as fast as you are willing to practice and if that is not much then we will use the lessons to have fun and explore music while you find your rhythm. If you have found an instrument that interests you or you want to try many then that is great. Most students start out by choosing covers they wish they could play, songs that they love and want to show off and this can be done within one or two lessons which is very gratifying. Scales, theory and technicality come later if desired or when we are making great progression.

If you are technically sound and driven however and wish to do exams, I can prep you for this easily but do not sign up with exam boards or institutions for you - this would have to be done yourself. I currently have a student studying for Grade 6 MTB flute.

All you require is the instrument and yourself. I will provide the rest and my teaching method depends on what you require.

For guitar and piano I use chords and tabs from ultimate guitar and want to get you playing your favourite songs as quickly as possible.

If technical classical playing on any instrument is what you require then I will provide you with pictures and diagrams sourced from various parts of the web that I find explain everything easily and I incorporate them with my own images and notes.

Every lesson you will be left with an image on your email or platform, that highlights the areas we worked on that day. I also create my own backing, harmony and rhythm tracks for whatever it is you may be learning. So that you can play, clap and sing along.

Every lesson is one-to-one and built around your voice, not a fixed method. We start by listening: what your voice does well, where it tightens, and what you want from singing. Then we work on the foundations that change everything: breathing that supports rather than pushes, releasing tension in the throat and jaw, and finding a tone that is free and your own.

A typical lesson begins with a warm-up tailored to you, moves into technical work, and then applies it to a song you want to sing. You leave with a few clear exercises to practise, never a long list.

I work especially well with adult beginners who have always believed they can’t sing, choir singers who want more freedom and stamina, people returning to singing after many years, and performers preparing for auditions and concerts. Classical, musical theatre and popular styles are all welcome.

My approach is to help you develop your ears so they become the main instrument for your music journey. That applies to guitar, piano, etc. I teach you to learn theory as map for your musical journey and not as strict rules to follow. I teach you to teach yourself.
