Athanasia is an award-winning composer and pianist, originally from Greece.

Athanasia has 7 years of experience in teaching piano privately. She can teach in English, and German. She is passionate about teaching as she feels it as her obligation to give back some of the knowledge, she has received from her own music teachers! She also finds teaching to be a stimulating experience and loves learning from her own students. She believes that learning is a never-ending process for a musician, and hopes to spend her life playing, writing, and learning more about music!

Since October 2023, he is a PhD candidate at the Doctor Artium at the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien. In 2020, she completed her studies in Composition at the Royal Northern College of Music. In 2017 she obtained a Diploma in Piano Performance from the Dimitris Demopoulos Music School, in Kozani, Greece.

Teaching Piano
Athanasia teaches piano from beginners to advanced. All ages welcome! She believes in teaching in a way that encourages and emphasises every student's musical strong suits; everyone has their own musical personality and the role of a teacher is to bring that out and facilitate the student's own personal growth.

Athanasia's priority, especially for beginner students, is to make sure they are on firm grounds with technique, music theory and music-reading skills. However, she is always careful not to inhibit the student’s natural musicality with an overload of technical information; balance between musicality and technique is key. She is also in favour of introducing sight-reading quite early on, as she thinks that the earlier a student takes it up, the easier and less daunting it will be for them in the long run.

Since she is a composer, Athanasia is also enthusiastic about introducing her piano students to improvisation and composition. She finds that it is good activities especially for younger students, as it helps establish a more intuitive, natural relationship with the instrument. Not to mention it is very fun!

A typical lesson would begin with the student performing the work(s)/study(s) they have been working on for the past week. Then Athanasia will make some comments, and together student and teacher work on improving the performance, in terms of technical problems, reading difficulties and musicality. Depending on the duration of the lesson, there might also be a short sight-reading and an improvisation session. At the end of the lesson, the new goal for the week will be set.

Genre
Athanasia specialises in classical music, but can also teach beginner level in pop/rock genres.

First Lesson
In the first piano lesson, Athanasia likes to have a chat with the new student. She introduces herself, and asks the student to speak about themselves. She is also interested to know more about their musical background (if any), and the reasons why they want to take up piano. It is important for Athanasia to know from the start what the student's intentions are, i.e. if it is a hobby for them, if they have professional aspirations, or if they are not sure yet! She then usually introduces the student to some basic knowledge on the structure of the piano, such as the sound- producing mechanism, the names of the parts etc; the piano is quite a complex, big instrument and can look quite daunting, so a bit of familiarity with it helps start things off. The rest of the content of the first lesson would depend on the level and age of the student.

When starting a new activity, it always takes a bit of time to feel familiarity. For the first few lessons, Athanasia will follow the pace that the new student will be comfortable with. It is important to remember that in music we are all learners, and any beginner should feel as if they have just taken their first step in an exciting long journey!
Información adicional
Athanasia will discuss with the student about the material for the first lesson, so beginners do not need to bring anything by yourself.

Piano Classes

Online or in Vienna piano classes for individuals and groups: stay positive, have fun and develop creatively.

Professional Pianist, Opera Singer, composer and soloist at Madrid ́s Opera House, Innsbruck and Glyndebourne festivals and at the National Music Auditorium of Moscow, winner of many international competitions and a qualified teacher at Kiev and Valencia High Conservatories (Bachelor and Masters Degrees) offers piano, singing and Sol-Fa lessons for all styles, levels and ages!

My piano classes are structured so that students work on the most important aspects of training as a pianist and are tailored to the needs of the student. I give great importance to developing self motivation in a relaxed environment that encourages creative flow throughout the learning process. Repertoire is agreed with the student and adapted to the style of music preferred, together with student needs and objectives. Learn how to play the piano effortlessly and to express what you have inside!

I aim to cater to the tastes and needs of students in an open and individual way and have a Yamaha grand piano that students can enjoy playing on when face to face classes are again possible.


The principles of piano technique I teach are:
- Simplicity and naturalness of playing
- Discover your own style – you don ́t need to imitate!
- Posture, relaxation and stretching
- Improvisation – confidence to experiment
- Aural training
- Confidence building
- Developing your own repertoire

If you want to prepare for entrance exams for conservatories or professional music academies, for competitions, castings or auditions I can help! If you just want to have fun and experiment, I can help with that too!

I teach in Spanish, English, Italian, Ukrainian and Russian.

Asa professional singer, trained at Valencia’s Advanced Conservatory, I can also teach singing and vocal repertoire classes (one to one and tailored to student needs), please see my profile for further details.


I look forward to hearing from you
