I graduated in piano with the highest honors under the guidance of Maestro Roberto Corlianò. Later I worked in Salzburg, Austria, as a piano teacher's assistant and later in Italy in two different schools as a piano and music theory teacher. I have had students from 4 to 75 and the lessons will be open to all those who want to approach this instrument for the first time or wish to deepen their knowledge. My approach is very free and is based on the needs of the student. I work exceptionally hard and am always open to finding new teaching methods. I try to understand students' weaknesses to reduce difficulties and their strengths to improve their skills. My last job was at Rootz Muziekscholen in Delft, Nootdorp, and Pijnacker.

About Me
After graduating with honors, I decided to devote myself to teaching. Wanting to broaden my knowledge and experience new teaching methods, I traveled abroad to teach in Austria and the Netherlands. In between, I worked in Italy in two different schools, which allowed me to approach students of all ages.
Education
I graduated in Italy at the "Tito Schipa" Conservatory in Lecce under the guidance of Maestro Roberto Corlianò. During the years I participated in different masterclasses with internationally renowned artists such as Emilia Fadini in a course on ancient music, Marian Sobula, Riccardo Risaliti, Severino Ortiz, Yoshihiro Sunahara, Hyun Sook Tekin, Vladmir Mlinaric, Konstantin Scherbakov, Luca Delle Donne, Pasquale Iannone, Olga Zdorenko and Michele Marvulli. Moreover I attended some masterclasses of chamber music with the violinists Mario Peris and Franco Mezzena and I follow several lessons with the pianist Gianluca Luisi. I did concerts in Rome, Lecce, Tavernola Bergamasca, Poggiardo, Magliano, Bagnoregio and Tricase. I won the third prize and a solo concert in the selection for young concert players organized by the Accademia Clivis in Rome. In 2018 I studied abroad for a semester in Belgium, in Antwerp, not only deepening the study of solo repertoire with the pianist Eliane Rodrigues but also expanding my professional experience in accompanying singers and instrumentalists. After this period I worked for one year at the "Tito Schipa" Conservatory of Lecce as a piano accompanist and I studied in the year 2021-2022 at the Accademia del Ridotto in Stradella with Maestro Andrzej Jasinski.
Experience / Qualifications
I started as a piano assistant in Salzburg, Austria, and later worked in two private schools in Italy as a piano and music theory teacher. After that, I taught in Delft, Nootdorp and Pijnacker, in the Netherlands, at Rootz Muziekscholen.

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Let's learn music theory at your own pace! Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your existing knowledge, my Music Theory for All Levels course is designed to be flexible. I've taught many topics, from the basics of reading music, college level ear-training, Renaissance and Baroque counterpoint, Classical harmonic analysis, Jazz harmony, and 20th century techniques.

We’ll use your prefered music and instruments (or voice!) to make the learning process relevant and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner, a performer looking to refine your knowledge, or a composer aiming for a deeper dive, this course is for everyone.

Playing piano doesn’t have to start with complicated sheet music. In this course, you’ll learn how to play the piano using chords as your foundation, so you can quickly understand how songs are built and start playing music you love from the very beginning.

This is a practical, modern approach designed for students who want real results. Instead of memorizing notes, you’ll learn the chord concepts and patterns that apply to almost any song.

You will learn:
How chords work across the entire keyboard
The most common chord progressions used in countless songs
Left-hand and right-hand accompaniment patterns
How to recognize chords by ear and play without sheet music
Smooth transitions between chords and song sections
How to add rhythm, flow, and expression to your playing

Whether you're picking up the violin for the first time or looking to refine your technique, these lessons are tailored to your individual goals and learning pace. As a classically trained violinist with orchestral experience across Europe, I offer structured yet flexible lessons that combine solid technical foundations with musical expressiveness.

We will work on: bowing technique and left-hand posture, scales, arpeggios and etudes, repertoire of your choice (classical, contemporary, or pop), sight-reading and music theory basics, and performance preparation.

Lessons are available for all levels — from absolute beginners to advanced students preparing for auditions or conservatory exams. I teach in Italian, English, Chiinese, and German, making lessons accessible to students from many backgrounds.

I started learning piano at the age of five and was lucky enough to work with the same teacher for thirteen years. During my university years at the Universität Mozarteum Salzburg and the Universität der Künste Berlin, I had the chance to experience different teachers and approaches to music. Through this, I came to understand how important it is to find a teacher you connect with, and how our needs can change throughout our musical journey.

In my teaching, I prioritise giving my students the tools they need to become independent musicians themselves: knowing how to practise effectively, improving their sight-reading skills (which opens up an entire library of music), understanding their own strengths and areas where they can improve, and building a solid foundation of basic music theory as far as it is relevant for their piano playing.

A typical lesson looks like this: we start with a warm-up, review the previous week's practice, work on current repertoire, and set clear goals for the week ahead. I focus on helping students approach new music with more understanding and confidence.

At the same time, I feel that individuality can sometimes be overlooked in the process of improving as musicians. For me, it is equally important to leave space for creativity, through improvisation, exploring different interpretation options, listening to different recordings, and discovering different repertoire or musical styles.


Ich habe im Alter von fünf Jahren mit dem Klavierspielen begonnen und hatte das Glück, dreizehn Jahre lang mit derselben Lehrerin zu arbeiten. Während meiner Studienzeit an der Universität Mozarteum Salzburg und der Universität der Künste Berlin hatte ich die Möglichkeit, verschiedene Lehrer und unterschiedliche musikalische Ansätze kennenzulernen. Dadurch habe ich verstanden, wie wichtig es ist, eine Lehrperson zu finden, mit der man gut zusammenpasst, und dass sich unsere Bedürfnisse im Laufe unserer musikalischen Entwicklung verändern können.

In meinem Unterricht ist es mir wichtig, meinen Schüler die Werkzeuge zu geben, die sie brauchen, um selbstständige Musiker zu werden: zu wissen, wie man effektiv übt, die eigenen Fähigkeiten im Blattspiel weiterzuentwickeln (was einem eine ganze Bibliothek an Musik eröffnet), die eigenen Stärken und Bereiche zur Verbesserung zu erkennen und eine solide Grundlage in der Musiktheorie aufzubauen – soweit sie für das eigene Klavierspiel relevant ist.

Eine typische Unterrichtsstunde sieht folgendermaßen aus: Wir beginnen mit einem Warm-up, schauen uns die Übewoche an, arbeiten am aktuellen Repertoire und setzen klare Ziele für die kommende Woche. Dabei möchte ich meinen Schüler helfen, neue Musik mit mehr Verständnis und Selbstvertrauen zu erarbeiten.

Gleichzeitig habe ich das Gefühl, dass die eigene Individualität im Prozess der musikalischen Weiterentwicklung manchmal zu kurz kommt. Für mich ist es genauso wichtig, Raum für Kreativität zu schaffen, durch Improvisation, das Ausprobieren verschiedener Interpretationsmöglichkeiten, das Anhören unterschiedlicher Aufnahmen und das Entdecken verschiedener Repertoires oder musikalischer Stile.
