Piano Lessons for All Levels | Technique, repertoire, and theory tailored to Your needs

From 55.14 $ /h

I chose to teach piano driven by my profound love for music and the desire to help others find their expressive voice. My teaching philosophy extends beyond technique and repertoire to include the development of a deeper understanding of music through analysis, theory, and listening.

I take into account the musical interests of my students, as everyone learns at their own pace and in diverse ways; my goal is to provide unwavering support tailored to your individual learning styles.

I foster a friendly and open atmosphere in my lessons, opting for informal communication that promotes a sense of security, particularly beneficial for children. This approach encourages a self-directed development of their musical abilities.

While I find joy in collaboratively setting goals from the first lesson, I equally value a relaxed approach that prioritizes the sheer enjoyment of making music.

About Me

My musical journey began at the New Conservatory of Thessaloniki, where I focused on piano under the guidance of Anelia and Vangelis Portokalis. Alongside my studies, I delved into conducting with Karolos Trikolidis and explored violin under Igor Selalmazidis, ultimately graduating with honors.

Continuing my musical education at the University of Macedonia, I immersed myself in piano performance and pedagogy. Collaborating with accomplished pianists like Uwe Matschke and Igor Petrin, I earned both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree, each with special honors.

Currently, I find myself as a doctoral candidate in solo piano performance and pedagogy at the University of Maryland, studying under Professor Bradford Gowen.

As a musician, I actively participate in chamber music and recitals, sharing my passion in Greece, Austria, and the USA. I've dedicated time to performing and recording works by contemporary and 20th-century Greek composers, both as a soloist and a member of ensembles.

In addition to my musical journey, I've had the privilege of teaching piano. Whether it was providing private lessons in Vienna and Thessaloniki or teaching functional keyboard skills (class piano) at the University of Macedonia in 2022, these experiences have been humbling and rewarding.

I've also contributed as an ear training tutor and ensemble coach in the summer camps of the New Conservatory of Thessaloniki.

Throughout my musical endeavors, I've been fortunate to attend masterclasses and receive private lessons from respected pianists like George Hadjinikos, Maria Asteriadou, Georg Steinschaden, Domna Evnouchidou, and Michael Hauber. These interactions have significantly influenced my musical growth.

I'm excited to share my love for music and the knowledge I've gained on this journey. I look forward to the opportunity to contribute to your musical exploration.

As a concert pianist, trained at the Conservatoire National de Musique de Paris, winner of several international competitions, and currently artist in residence at the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth in Belgium, I offer piano lessons that combine pleasure and seriousness.
Whether you want to progress or start at the piano, I have had the pleasure of helping many students in private lessons. I am based in Paris, in the 11th arrondissement, and give my lessons at home, where I have a Yamaha CX3 grand piano, or I can go to the student's house.

The trumpet: its correct technical execution and the interpretation of popular and academic universal repertoires, is available to everyone regardless of their age. We will build a logical sequence of studies that will help develop the technical aspects. And we will address repertoires according to the age and taste of the student. we will draw a path with short, medium and long term goals. we will build a technical routine and healthy habits to progress correctly. In addition, we will select musical pieces by mutual agreement to mature the technical development hand in hand with musical growth.

I am a professional trumpeter, I have participated in symphony orchestras, wind bands, big band, and small chamber and jazz ensembles. I have extensive experience teaching children, youth and adults.

For me it is very important to make music from the first lesson, because there must be a balance between technical practice and its application in small melodies or musical pieces. No matter the musical genre, we will always find a repertoire according to the level and interest of each student.

If you already know how to play and you need to perfect a piece or prepare a recital or audition, you can count on my experience and accompaniment as well.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

I offer individual lessons in voice and piano for children, teenagers, and adults of all levels — from complete beginners to advanced learners.
My teaching approach is flexible and student-centered. Some students want to prepare a specific classical piece, others prefer modern or popular songs, while some simply wish to reconnect with music after years away. I adapt lessons to your goals and create a supportive atmosphere where learning is both effective and enjoyable.
With over 8 years of teaching experience and a diverse international education — from Kyiv music academies to the State University of Music and Performing Arts in Stuttgart — I bring both depth and variety to my teaching. I have worked as a piano and voice teacher in private art schools in Ukraine as well as in music schools in Germany, guiding more than 200 students of different ages and levels.
Whether you want to build a strong foundation, improve your skills, or discover the joy of music for the first time — I will guide you step by step.

I provide fun and personalized piano lessons, by adapting lessons based on your proficiency(beginner, intermediate or advanced), age group, and goals (hobby and leisure, grade exams). For beginners, I start with the basics of the piano and begin with teaching Tutor books. Not only will you be playing songs and pieces in no time, but you will be building a strong foundation of note-reading, music theory,sight-reading, technique, and more!
My approach is to teach very thorough foundations so that my students are well prepared for exams and performances such as Trinity, ABRSM, School/ church performances

Get in touch to start your lessons! ( Please note: There may be a waiting list)

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Sometimes you can sit in a music lesson with your class mates and feel completely baffled as to why others are 'getting it' and you are not! If you are wanting some extra help in preparing for a music exam or even wanting to feel more comfortable with the rest of the class then this class is right up your street. Alternatively, if you would like some extra advice on performance techniques then I can help. Perhaps you are struggling with your composition tasks - that is my speciality. Then there is the analysis of a piece of music that can be so confusing that we could spend some valuable one-to-one time on. I am here to help and below are some reasons why I am well suited to give you the appropriate advice that you need.

I worked in a comprehensive school teaching music for over 35 years. In that time I engaged with many different exam boards at GCSE and A level delivering a range of different courses. This experience and my passion for all aspects of music, whether it be performing, composing or listening and analysis enables me to give you the right advice. Whatever you need help with, I am very keen to be able to offer my expertise in any or all of these areas. Each of the three disciplines is intrinsically connected with the other two and having a good grasp of all three will enable you to improve your ability overall.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Need a little extra help in music theory? Not sure how to prepare for an ensemble audition? Struggling with tough percussion excerpts? Want advice about pursuing music beyond grade school? I'm here to help! I'm a college student based in Bellingham, WA, pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in music performance with a concentration in percussion. My area of expertise is in symphonic/classical music, namely a wind band/orchestra setting. I am studying music theory, ear training, and piano, and I feel comfortable offering help in these subjects through a high school level. I am an experienced performer, so I am comfortable coaching auditions and practice lessons. I have learned a lot of tips and advice from peers and mentors as well as personal experience, and I'd love to assist younger musicians in their journey!
