I teach you to play piano - Lessons for children, beginners and intermediate students

From 77.9 $ /h

Hello,

I'm a professional violin and piano teacher who studied MgA. program at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague and since 2005 I'm teaching both instruments, institutionally and also privately. Working with people, children and adults does make a big sense to me and I always want to give my students as much as I can from my knowledge.

With my students, I focus to improve musical skills from technique to understanding the music. Everything is accompanied by a music theory. For little children is important to create a good relationship with the instrument and the music. Lessons and music have to be fun. We sing easy songs, clap the rhythm, and then learn to play them on the piano.

About Me

I'm a professional violinist originally from Slovakia moved to Berlin. I'm an active musician with wide experience as a solo player, chamber, orchestra or studio player. I'm focusing not only on classical music but also on jazz, swing, improvisation and folklor.

My personal project is called, which won the "Golden Gander 2015" award for the best performance at the Kremnické Gagy Festival with a Swing set. The band is playing songs from swing, balkan, slovak music to currently original songs in prog-pop style. You can listen us on youtube :)

I perform also as a soloist and member of chamber ensembles, and as a sought-after studio violinist i was contributed to a number of CDs, movies or for an advertising spots. I recorded solo violin for the Czech movie directed by Ivan Pokorný, "Promissed Princess" – and also portrayed one of the princesses in the film: The one with the violin, of course :)
I recorded violin for ballet drama “Storm” (A.N. Ostrovskij) by Michal Vejskal, or the soundtrack by V. for the film “Intimacy” directed by Ivo Macharáček.

This year I was performing also with the amazing Moka Efti Orchestra, the music from the Tv Series Babylon Berlin written by Nikko Weidemann und Mario Kamien. In 2019 I participate in the show of Taylor Mac's project "A-24 Decade History of Popular Music" in Berlin from New York based Pomegranate Art Production in collaboration with Immersion and Berliner Festspiele.

I head also the Slovak folklor band, sing and dance in the innovative new circus-theatre show “Younak”: an ensemble comprising among others of two violins, a Slovakian box zither, a bass, guitar and an accordion. “Younak” is a unique mix of folklore, traditional dance, non-verbal theatre and music, and marries elements of traditional folk music and improvisation with modern stage music. The piece is staged by world-renowned Spanish director Adrian Schvarzstein, with performances mounted throughout Europe.

I collaborated with numerous celebrities, bands and Djs /Robers Soko and Balkan Beats, USB-Universal Swing Brothers/ belonging to the contemporary music scene.

Learn violin with professional violinist (all levels, all ages)

77.9 $ /h

Hello,

I'm a professional violinist originally from Slovakia who moved to Berlin. I teach violin as a private teacher since 2005. I love working with people, both children, and adults and I always want to give them as much as I can from my knowledge. Very important for me as a teacher is to teach music in the whole spectrum. I teach my students technical skills, classical music, rock songs, jazz and start developing improvisational skills as soon as possible, which is very important for developing their own musical personality.

In my lessons, you can learn everything you need to improve your musical skills from technique to understanding the music. If you prefer some specific style, you can choose if it's classical violin and you would like to work on a repertoire, technique, bow technique, vibrato, phrasing or you would like to learn how to play jazz, blues, improvisation, chopping on violin, rock style or just to learn the songs of your choice. Everything will be accompanied by a music theory which is very important for understanding music.

Welcome to my online Piano Class.
I am Maria, and I will happily help you achieve your musical goals, from zero to the top.
I love all student levels, but only towards the CLASSICAL piano, of any eras' works and composers.
Don't be afraid, my lesson is human-friendly 😊
Everything goes step by step! Outside the lesson time, I send you lots of short videos to support your practice through the week.

As each student is different, I focus on each ones' needs and I am always creative in helping you learn through the simplest ways - "if it's easy, it's correct", that's my motto!
My greatest happiness is to watch my students grow, overcome any limit and expand in full potential!

As a result, many of my students have won top prizes at major international competitions, as the IBLA Grand Prize, the Spoleto International Piano Competition, the Bach au Jazz (Lilia Boyadjieva) International Piano Competition and many others. And also, at renown online competitions, as The Royal, the IYMC, the Forte Academy, and many-many others.
So, in case you need a competition or exam preparation, here you are at the right place!
I will help you discover the advanced piano technique, and the ways to achieve your best musical interpretation. Also, very important, I'll help you understand and approach each composers' unique style, and, also, secure your concert / stage presence, with simple and effective solutions for memorisation and control.

I am a very proud piano teacher, as on Jan 11 2026 four young students of mine were awarded by the renown American Competition "The Royal Foundation" and were invited and performed at a Gala at the Carnegie Hall in New York City! Also, these kids were invited to participate to the Juilliard School festival, with masterclass and lessons, a fabulous chance and experience that I wish all young pianists could have!

On Sept 1st 2024 three awarded students of mine were invited to perform at The DiMenna Classical Centre of Music in Manhattan, from another American competition, the International Youth Music Competition.

I wish I can always bring such great opportunities and successes to all of my "piano kids"!

TEACHER / TRAINER

Trained in Grandes Ecoles in France and the United States (Ivy League University), our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in North America and Europe, in the field, in international establishments renowned, and oriented on one axis: effective training with pedagogy and meticulous methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES, FEES
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

For anyone willing to immerse themselves in the fantastic world of music and also "early music", the music wrote between the XVII and XVIII centuries. I offer dynamic lessons for all ages, from music theory to an instrument, the cello. For the most curious, the baroque cello and early music can become a huge passion.

I am a piano teacher graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris with over 17 years of teaching experience, specializing in piano lessons for children and young learners.

My classical conservatory training provides a strong technical and musical foundation, which I adapt carefully for children in a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

I believe that a solid classical base, combined with motivation and enjoyment, is essential for long-term musical development. Lessons are structured yet flexible and always adapted to each child’s age, personality, and attention span.
