About Me

I'm a friendly teacher who cares about my students. I always create a pleasant atmosphere and, during the introduction, aim to thoroughly assess both the new student's starting level and their needs. After that, I see it as a musical adventure we embark on together, where the path is determined by the advice needed to ensure the student's development is a continuous one.
I enjoy teaching at home on my Grotrian-Steinweg grand piano, but can also offer lessons at the student's home if desired.

Education

DJAM (jazz and pop music program), Amsterdam. Piano lessons with Wolfgang Maiwald, Bert van den Brink, and Edwin Berg, among others. Theory lessons with Jeroen Bohan.

My goal as a music teacher is to make the students able to experience all types of emotions by playing music, understanding the musical process from its roots with a creative approach. My lessons are designed according to the specific needs of each student and the main objective is to guide them in the optimal direction to achieve their full potential in a fun way. Thereby, the instrument becomes a tool to understand what making music really means and will be a way for the student to express his emotions. My approach to the lessons can provide a lot of creativity, fun and originality.

How will my lessons look like
From the first lesson, the student will start making music. We will begin learning the basic concepts of music, developing listening and rhythmic skills with fun exercises. Lessons will also be focused on learning the basics of music theory, creating a solid technical base and paying special attention to having a relaxed and healthy body posture. My academic and professional experience has helped me create a teaching method where improvisation is an essential tool for the student. I enjoy working on it from the beginning since it is a perfect way to develop musicality.

Playing different music genres together
As a musician, another of my sources of inspiration is to get to know and to learn from different styles, playing and experimenting with music from the classical period until the most avant-garde style. During the lessons, we will play pop, jazz, classical and many other styles. I would like to explore the instrument with the student in a fun way, growing, improving, and discovering new ways of making music together. During the lessons the students and I could play together, either playing some duos with the cello or accompanying them with the piano, which is an activity that I really enjoy. Playing together with more people and with a polyphonic instrument from the beginning will give the student clues to learn how to play in ensembles and listen to all the different voices that can be part of any musical composition.

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

As a dedicated and active professional musician with Bachelor's and Master's degrees, I bring both deep musical knowledge and hands-on experience to every lesson. Whether you're looking to improve your classical technique and expand your repertoire, learn to accompany songs, compose your own music, or improvise with confidence, I’m here to help you reach your musical goals.

What to Expect in Our Lessons:
🎵 A Personalized Approach
In our first lessons, we’ll discuss your interests and goals, assess your current level, and choose a repertoire that inspires and challenges you. Every student learns differently—lessons are tailored to suit your individual pace and style.

🎹 Musical Expression
Music is much more than just playing the right notes. I emphasize emotional communication through sound, helping you shape interpretation and bring expressiveness to your playing. Make the piano sing!

🎼 Solid Technique & Theory
We’ll build strong technical foundations while exploring theory in a practical and engaging way—so you don’t just play music, you understand it.

My Experience:
A strong background in one-on-one teaching, working with students of all levels and ages.

Singing lessons for all levels and age. For beginners, together we can discover the range of your voice and build the breathing and singing technique. At the same time we will work on music theory, ear training and how to read a score. For mature singers, we can delve into the singing technique and interpretation and add pieces in your repertoire. The lessons are provided both online and in person and can be held in English or Greek. I also speak some Italian and German.

About me
I have been playing the piano for 15 years. I have studied Classical Singing in the Municipal Conservatory of Kalamata (Greece) and I have followed a two-year Early Music Programme in Athens Conservatoire. At the same time I studied Music Theory (Harmony) at the Greek National Conservatoire from which I gained my Harmony degree.
In addition, I have a Bachelor in Early Childhood Education at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.
Here in The Netherlands, I finished my masters at the Utrechts Conservatorium and worked as a singer at the NKK NXT 2022-2023.

I have participated in Operas (“Julius Cesar”- 2015 in Athens Concert Hall and “Alcina”-2019 in Odeon of Herodes Atticus) as a member of a vocal ensemble and I have also performed as a soloist in many concerts. Some of the stages I have performed are: Concertgebouw Amsterdam, TivoliVredenburg, Schouwburg Concertzaal Tilburg, Athens Concert Hall, Greek National Opera and the Odeon of Herodes Atticus.

Are you a beginner and would you like to learn to play the piano in a way that is both structured and inspiring? Then my lessons might be exactly what you are looking for. I teach piano the way I have always liked it best: with a clear basis, but especially with room for music that makes you happy.

My lessons are built around the teaching method Alfred's Basic Piano Library - an accessible and logical learning path for beginning pianists. At the same time, you will quickly choose a piece that you like. Something that may be a bit more difficult than your level, but that we will work towards together step by step. That makes practicing not only more fun, but also motivating: you hear something back that you recognize and that you live towards, instead of just theory and technical exercises.

Especially in the beginning, when playing the piano often takes more effort than it sounds good at first, it helps enormously to play music that you really have something with. And that is exactly the balance I seek in my lessons: a good structure with room for personal taste and playing pleasure.

Hi! I am a classically trained pianist and am graduating from the Utrecht Conservatory this year. My passion for the piano started at a young age: I started taking lessons when I was seven, after convincing my parents to enroll me.

From the age of thirteen, I started assisting my teacher and was already teaching younger students, from children as young as 3 to teenagers. As a result, I have built up extensive experience in teaching various ages and levels.

As a teacher, I am enthusiastic, patient, and have a positive attitude. My lessons are structured, but also fun and motivating, so that students can develop at their own pace while simultaneously enjoying playing.
