Piano Lessons - Music Theory and Harmony - beginner level to expert

From 156.86 € /h

I specialize in catering to a diverse spectrum of learners, ranging from novices to advanced students seeking certification at esteemed conservatories, as well as enthusiasts of all ages. My pedagogical approach underscores the fundamental importance of literacy in musical notation, which I consider analogous to mastering an additional language. Proficiency in reading music is regarded as a lifelong asset akin to riding a bicycle, which, once acquired, endures indefinitely.

Central to my instruction is the cultivation of proper hand, arm, and body positioning at the piano, alongside the inculcation of core principles in piano technique. This encompasses meticulous attention to the percussive action of the fingers and the nuanced distribution of weight. Moreover, I prioritize fostering a nuanced comprehension of musical language, facilitating the expressive manifestation of individuality through the medium of the keyboard. I guide students in the exploration of tactile sensitivity and the cultivation of familiarity with a diverse repertoire of piano compositions."

Grounded in my deep passion for music and pedagogical philosophy, I am dedicated to providing students of all levels with a comprehensive curriculum and multidisciplinary approach to musical studies. I firmly believe that persistence in practice, a love for learning, and an appreciation for the intrinsic beauty of music are fundamental to success in one's musical journey.
