Présentation

I am responsible, diligent, hard-working, and able to adapt quickly to new students, always working hard on cultivating the students’ interest in music starting from the first lesson.

Education

At the moment I am a master's student of Classical music program at Conservatorium van Amsterdam, specializing in Piano Performance, under the supervision of Naum Grubert.

I am a holder of a bachelor’s degree in Piano performance from both the Russian Gnessin Academy of Music and Jazeps Vitols Latvian Academy of Music.

Expérience / Qualifications

My previous work experience includes 6 years of private tutoring, as well as working as a teacher in private music school Masterskaya muzykanta in Moscow and private comprehensive school Innova in Riga in a position of secondary school music teacher, for 2 academic years in total. I did a 1-year long internship in 2 music schools in Latvia: Jazeps Medins' Riga 1st School of Music and Pavuls Jurjans school of Music. My past and present students represent a wide variety of age groups (7-62 years) and ethnicities, so the classes were held in three languages (Latvian, English, and Russian).

I had been practicing pedagogy for three years under the supervision of Augusta Malinkovskaja, Ped.D. My piano performance teacher was Tatiana Zelikman, whose famous students include Daniil Trifanov, Konstantin Lifschitz, Olga Pashcencko, etc. Professors’ classes were focused on the development of piano playing skills with an emphasis on pedagogy. Previously obtained undergraduate degrees included courses in psychology, educational psychology, teacher ethics, innovative methods in education, piano playing methodology, and pedagogical internship, among many others.

Experiencing the joy of music-making can be one of the most rewarding things in life!

If you want to learn to play the piano, or to improve your piano playing, I can help you develop your technique and musicality. I am a piano coach at the conservatoire in Zwolle, and I am able to apply those skills to teaching amateur musicians as well.

After discussing your goals, I'll see what's the best way to guide you there - and then we'll get to work together! My goal is that you're inspired and enjoy exploring the piano.

I offer individual lessons of half an hour or an hour and I can teach at your house or online.

I am teaching composition, piano, theory/harmony, & ear-training. I graduated from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam as a contemporary composer.

I am very open to the stylistic choices of the students and adapt the lesson to fit their particular needs or interests.
When it comes to composition, I'm coaching anyone who needs advice as to how to write their own music, how to develop their compositional tools, song-writing skills, how to translate conceptual ideas into practical material. This also applies to children, who might want to get the basics of making their own song, either on an instrument or on the computer.
My approach to teaching piano is highly influenced by my composition studies, both in stylistic diversity and in pedagogical methods. I find it important to teach piano in an overall way, one that incorporates ear-training but also theory together with playing. This way i find that the lesson becomes much more stimulating, and it also becomes much more easy to learn.

I have experience teaching adults but also young kids between 4-15 years old. I believe it is never late to start learning music and that learning to make music is firstly a fun and then a challenging adventure.

Hey peeps!
I love to give guitar lessons in a relaxed mood that will not put pressure on you, only giving you feedbacks that will improve your practice. The first lessons will generally consist of covering the basics by learning simple songs. Depending on how it goes, we will go straight into learning songs that you want to play, where you will learn even more!
I can teach you how to play across several appointments during the week so you'll learn faster and enjoy playing straight from the beginning :)

Keep growing ♥️

My name is Mathilde, I am a French violinist, pianist, harpsichordist, producer and composer.
I have graduated from the world’s great institutions such as the Royal College of Music London, Manhattan School of Music New-York, Brussels Royal Conservatory, and Paris-Sorbonne University (in musicology).
I have been performing concerts around the world in the most prestigious concert halls including the Châtelet Theatre and Seine Musicale (Paris), the National Opera House (Oman) and La Scala (Milan), as well as many other venues in Europe, US, China, Middle-East. During this period of time, I had been playing in the Orchestra Academy of La Scala in Milan for 2 years, and I am currently playing at the Metropole Orkest in Amsterdam.

With the experiences I gained over the years - including the teaching experience in the Conservatory of Cambrai (France) - I became an expert in teaching violin and keyboards as well as music theory, including writing and reading scores. I have been teaching to the different age groups and different levels of technical backgrounds (beginner or advanced). I can easily adapt myself to the level of each student to create a synchronicity and help them pursue their goals and wishes. I am there to help them as a teacher and a music coach for their musical career. I can combine different practices and teach basic techniques in repertoire that matches the personality of the student (from classical to contemporary, pop, rock and more). Based on the teaching experiences I have, I can consider myself as a teacher with patience, motivating style and an open mind. Happy to provide references from my previous students from Amsterdam / Paris / Milan if requested.

Next to my technical teaching skills, I am also actively involving in various musical projects. I have recently performed for major TV shows in Paris: Le Grand Échiquier (France 2), Variations (France Télévisions, Culturbox), and I am currently making my first classical / electronic album in Amsterdam.

Have you or your child always dreamed of learning the piano?
Would you like to learn the basic skills to read music and finally start to learn to play the piano that's been sitting in your house gathering dust for year?

My name's Ashleigh, I'm an Australian student living in Amsterdam and I've studied piano for 10 years through private lessons and during my final high school exams. As a native English speaker, lessons would be in English. Lessons can be tailored to students' specific needs.

Anyone can learn piano - from toddlers to seniors! Lessons are fun, exciting and motivating. I would love to help you realise the same passion for music that I have.

My techniques start by assessing your level and giving specialized lessons for each. This will start by either understanding the foundations of music theory on one selected piece and slowly adding components to complete it such as emotions. My lessons can span any hours you would like, the minimum being 1 hour.

My name is Marine, I'm 28 years old and I've been playing the piano since I was 12. A graduate of the Chantilly Departmental Conservatory in France (training obtained alongside my baccalaureate), I also studied jazz for two years in a specialized school, then in jazz piano classes at the conservatory. My musical approach is therefore rich, lively and open, far from rigid classical patterns.

⸻

🎯 For whom?
• Children from 5-6 years old, teenagers and adult beginners
• No prior knowledge required
• Ideal for those who want to discover the piano while having fun, without any professional objectives

⸻

🌟 My teaching methods

The idea is not to learn the piano as a constraint, but to experience it as a pleasure, a way of expressing yourself and discovering your own musicality.

✅ Method without traditional music theory: we work by ear, drawing inspiration from videos (such as “synthesia”), well-known songs and film music.
✅ Progressive but natural learning: we start with popular music (cartoons, pop culture, film music – Disney, Harry Potter, etc.)
✅ Objective: to develop listening, musical sensitivity, interpretation, creativity, and the pleasure of playing
✅ Gentle introduction to improvisation and the first elements of jazz, if the student is curious.

⸻

🎶 Why me?

• Experience with children and adolescents (I have already helped several young people learn their favorite music)
• Lessons adapted to each student: I attach great importance to their musical tastes, their desires, their pace
• Caring, encouraging approach focused on the enjoyment of music
• I am French-speaking, but I can also adapt to an international audience if necessary.

⸻

📍 Where?

• At home (Amsterdam, De Pijp)

⸻

✨ If your child dreams of playing Let It Go, Harry Potter or The Lion King on the piano, or if you yourself finally want to dare to put your hands on a keyboard, I would be delighted to accompany you on this musical adventure.
