Hello,

I am a classical pianist from Romania with more than 15 years of experience in teaching the piano at a professional level. I teach at all levels and at any age.

The course can be given in English and Romanian! I also speak a little bit of Spanish, French and German.( I understand more than I can speak).
If you want to learn to play the piano staying at home, I would be very happy to help you to make your dream come true!

To play the piano is an amazing journey at any level! If we talk about a child, he will discover an amazing language to express his feelings and to build his self-confidence! Moreover, he will develop skills that will help him at school and in life.

If we talk about adults, they will discover a lot of amazing things about themselves, they will improve their learning and analysis methods and, last but not least, they will have fun!

What will you learn?
1. How to read a score.
2. How to play the piano like a professional.
3. What is behind the music? Structure analysis, the message (emotions, images, effects) how to express your own feelings and beliefs through music
4. How to prepare for performing on stage (if you like to do this).

About Me
I am a "product" of Russian school system due to the fact that in Romania it was and continues to exist the vocational school system, implemented 50 years ago, during communism.
