My piano lessons are designed for both children and adults, from complete beginners to intermediate learners. With a strong classical background and over seven years of teaching experience, I focus on building solid technique, musical understanding, and confidence while keeping lessons enjoyable and motivating. For children, lessons are structured but engaging, helping students develop good practice habits, rhythm, reading skills, and musical expression through age-appropriate repertoire. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged and progress steadily at their own pace. For adult learners, lessons are tailored to individual goals, whether learning for personal enjoyment, returning to piano after a break, or improving technique and musicality. I adapt teaching methods to suit each student’s learning style, ensuring lessons are clear, practical, and enjoyable. My teaching combines technical foundation, musical expression, and a positive, patient approach, helping students build long-term confidence and enjoyment in playing the piano.

My name is Andrea, I have recently concluded my Artist's Master in keyboard instruments at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. My passion for music induced me to apply in the “Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria” in the course of Harpsichord as my principal study. After 10 years studying music and obtaining the diploma of “Grado de Enseñanzas Profesionales” in the conservatory, I developed a deep interest for Classical and Early music for keyboard instruments. Discovering a historical and musical universe, I decided to continue my performing and theoretical investigation studying the bachelor course in keyboard instruments including piano, harpsichord and organ. I had the amazing opportunity to obtain a scholarship and study at the "Conservatorio Tartini di Trieste", in Italy. Working with exceptional teachers, i was able expand my linguistic abilities and cultural appreciation for the expressive diversity of Keyboard music. I have discovered the magnificent variety between many composers all around Europe and the distinct features and techniques they utilized to improvise and to embellish their pieces. During this artistic journey, i have had extraordinary performance experiences as a soloist including playing at the Parlament of Brussels and the National Gallery in Bosnia. Recently, living in London has inspired me to take part in a wide variety of exciting projects such as performing as a keyboard accompanist in Opera Scenes and with the Guildhall Baroque Orchestra in the Milton Court Concert Hall.
