Strategic Chess Lessons: From First Move to Tournament Play

82.57 £ /h

Chess is easy to learn and a lifetime to master- let's skip ahead. Whether you've never moved a pawn or you're chasing your next rating jump, these lessons sharpen the way you think, not just the way you play.

We'll work on the tactics that win games, the patterns grandmasters see instantly, and the quiet positional ideas that decide the rest. Your games become the textbook — every loss is a lesson, every win a clue.

Online or in person. Bring a board, or just your curiosity.

I am educated and experienced music teacher coming from Czech Republic. I graduated Prague Conservatoire and I also attended in many international piano courses with well known pianist such as Eugen Indjic and others.

I have experiences with teaching children from very early age as well as teaching adults. I have my own way of teaching playing the piano small children with telling stories and playing games with piano which is very effective. I taught at international Montessori school in Prague in English, so I am experienced with this.

Feel free to contact me. I am looking forward to you.

Would you like to learn how to play piano? Or have you already started, but don't know how to proceed? You are in a good place! I am a passionate piano teacher and my goal is to prove that everybody can play and enjoy making music.

Main factors of my lessons are: individual approach, inspiring and positive atmosphere and full involvement in the process of development of my student. I believe the key to success is not “talent”, it’s rather the inspiring
influence of the teacher and his/her positive approach that allows the student to make mistakes and turn them into opportunities. Teaching piano is very special and important to me, because it allows me to share my biggest passion and the experience that I gained through many years of my education.

I started playing piano in the age of 6. I graduated from Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw (Poland) and also studied in Frost School of Music in Miami. I have been teaching in a music school as well as privately. Currently I teach in the International Swiss School in Wollishofen and Lakeside School Horgen.

I am a professional pianist from Taiwan, with more than 10 years of teaching experience. I graduated from Birmingham Conservatoire in the UK with a master's degree in piano performance and an advanced postgraduate artist diploma (both with scholarship and graduated with distinction). I have participated in masterclasses with many leading pianists, gained lots of awards in competitions, and had several concert performances around Europe and Asia.

My teaching experience spans over several years, in the UK, Taiwan, and Shanghai, both in a piano school as well as individually. I have helped my students prepare for the ABRSM exam (and pass it with Distinction), as well as attending competitions or performing in concerts.

I am happy to teach students of all ages and levels, from beginner to advanced. My lessons include ear training, sight-reading, music theory, music history, depending on the interest and ability of the student.

I am patient, yet passionate about music, and enjoy sharing its joy and beauty with everyone. I am willing to travel to students' places and happy to accommodate your needs.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

The program will be tailored according to the student goals. (leisure, professional development) focusing on; basic knowledge of the guitar, basic chords and more advanced chords, scales and modes, theory and practice of improvisation, study of a repertoire, right hand technique (fingers or pick), music theory and rhythm, Logic Pro X, basic sound engineering and music production techniques and songwriting skills.

An understanding of what are the goals and interests of student, as well as their skills is the most effective way to pass on knowledge.

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

I have 10 years of experience in being a music instructor. That's not only piano lessons, it's also a theory of music, history of music, and vocal and orchestral projects.

I've worked with students from all around the world - most of them attended the American School of Warsaw and the British School of Warsaw. The idea is not only to teach how to play the right notes and to know the main composers, but I also want my students to feel the music, to be able to find out what the idea of an art piece is. It is also very important for me to encourage a child to find his own style of playing. From my point of view, there are no people deaf to music, just people who aren’t acquainted with music, till now!

It is well known that music classes are not only pleasant but as well music classes are very helpful and important in a child’s education and development. Kids who play instruments learn languages faster and more productively, focus better, and it has been shown to perform better in math and science. My own experience and that of my students show me that music has a positive effect on a student's overall education results.

Moreover, music is not just an art, it is the language of the soul, waiting to speak for your child's feelings and moods.

I'm available to teach any person who plays or wants to play the trombone, that includes some help on theory and music perception.

My goal is to help the student understanding on how music works and flows, and how to have an efficient trombone playing. If this goal is reached, there's no one happier than me :)

I can help also in choosing equipment (trombone, mouthpiece), as also giving tips for any matter related to this wonderful profession!

I'm right now a freelancer in Luzern, where I did my Master's in Performance.
