Piano Lessons in English and Spanish for Children and Adults. At your home, via webcam or at the teacher's location in central Zürich

My name is Clara and I'm a classically-trained pianist and a piano teacher. I offer piano lessons in English or Spanish for Children and Adults (from 4-70 years old).

My personal mission is to keep you motivated and committed to playing the piano. With this purpose, I use a method adapted to each student, taking into account what you want to achieve and what you like. In my classes, you will learn music comprehensively. My personalized lessons do not only focus on repertoire, but also on music theory, sight-reading, ear training, improvisation, and composition.

You will be able to express yourself through playing several styles of music, creating performances full of artistry and musicality, and also to create their own music. You will also learn music history through extra group appreciation lessons and play four hand duets with other students or me. You will learn while having fun and will become a well-rounded and knowledgeable musician.

You will:

-Play and read songs from different styles quickly, working at the same time on piano technique, sight-reading, and musicality, and enhancing your talents. Do you want to play the songs that you like? Do you want to play for your family and friends? The goal is for you to enjoy playing the piano and to be able to play the pieces you like soon!
-Lose your fear of music theory by studying it applied to the pieces that you learn.
-Write your own songs, improvise and train your musical ear.
-Learn several styles of music, starting from a classical approach and taking into account your preferences.

About Me

My name is Clara and I'm a classically-trained pianist and a piano teacher. I fully dedicate myself to my mission: to play the piano and transmit my passion for the piano through teaching. Nothing makes me happier than being able to give students a lifetime of music-making through the piano.
They say, “all you need to learn piano is talent and motivation”, but I believe there’s more to it than that:
-I believe strong foundations create great pianists. Through my classes, I aim to give my students the techniques they need to practice correctly and create performances with plenty of musicality, confidence, and passion.
-I believe commitment, discipline, and effort are the clues: motivation and talent are not enough. That's why I'm my students' coach during their learning process.
-I believe in the powerful tool that the piano is for self-expression, communication, and mental well-being. The piano is more than just a beautiful instrument: it is a way of life.
-I believe in the importance of sharing your passion and your successes, and setting goals that make you feel focused and keep track of your progress.
So I have one mission... making music part of your life!

Education

I did a Bachelor of Music in Spain and completed a Master in Musical performance and research. I also obtained an Artist Diploma. In parallel to completing my piano formation in several piano masterclasses and piano courses, I have focused my work on performing as a soloist and as a member of several chamber music formations and teaching students from different ages and levels.

Experience / Qualifications

I have a broad experience in teaching in English and Spanish in music conservatories and music schools. I work with students between 4 and 70 years old.

Reviews (2)

Clara is very professional and a great teacher. After only one lesson I already feel equipped to play more musically and intelligibly. She gives great tips on how to practice at home.
The first lesson with Clara was really great. She is so passionate about teaching and tailors everything in the lesson to your goals and music taste. Communication was great, especially after the lesson, where she sends feedback and exercises to keep you motivated through the week. I am really looking forward to continuing the lessons with her!

Gregor
Flamenco & Blues guitar teacher in Zürich for all ages
I‘m 24 years old man from Slovenia. I‘ve been playing guitar for almost 10 years now, I compose and dive deep into the and art of it. I‘m very interested in teaching and seeing how a person is developing it’s skills once they dedicate themselves to the subject. My approach is very precise and if one desires so, I‘ll teach from total basics as reading the notes and other music theory or we can also work from tabs. I lived in Spain, Granada for some time where I‘ve been to the fountain and the roots of flamenco itself and became more familiar with it. I studied art pedagogy when I was in university in Slovenia, where I learned some pedagogy basics, but I think a teacher has to see beyond the frame and find it‘s own way of passing the knowledge. I speak spanish, english, croation and Slovenian fluently and I speak some basic German and Italian, but I started to work more seriously on both of them. I teach at my home, but offer webcam lessons and also can come to student‘s house but charge additional costs for travel.

Nicolas
Gitarre Unterricht - Guitar - beginners and advanced
Nicolás ist ein argentinischer Musiker, der seit Ende 2024 in Süddeutschland lebt. Derzeit arbeitet er intensiv als Gitarrenlehrer an den städtischen Musikschulen Langenargen und Immenstadt. Zuvor verbrachte er 5 Jahre in der Schweiz, wo er Alte Musik und Gitarrendidaktik studierte. An der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste studierte er Vihuela, Laute und Basso continuo unter der Leitung von Maestro Eduardo Egüez. Seit 2022 lernt er auch Jazz bei amerikanischen Musikern wie Tim Lerch und Jonathan Kreisberg im Online-Unterricht. Zwischen 2000 und 2011 studierte er klassische Gitarre in Argentinien. Er ist Gitarrenlehrer und Absolvent von zwei renommierten Konservatorien in Buenos Aires. Er studierte zunächst bei Marcela Sfriso und absolvierte dann einen Aufbaustudiengang bei Eduardo Isaac. Einige Höhepunkte seiner Karriere sind: Im Jahr 2014 veröffentlichte er sein erstes Soloalbum „Morro de Saudade“. Er ist als Solist und mit Ensembles in wichtigen Theatern in Buenos Aires aufgetreten. Im Jahr 2009 gründete er die Camerata Argentina de Guitarras, deren Gitarrist und künstlerischer Leiter er bis 2019 war. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We can work in: -Repertoire and interpretation. -Preparation for concerts and admissions to Conservatories or Universities. -Also musical reading and renaissance tablature. -Also Jazz, bossa nova and tango. -Music theory My classes are for: -Amateurs and advanced students. -Kids, young people, and adults. I can teach in English, Spanish, and High German. More about my classes My guitar teaching model is based on books and the approach of guitarist and pedagogue Abel Carlevaro. In some way, it is about understanding and analyzing the nature of the movements we make to play the guitar in the simplest way possible. Just as to build a building you need a good foundation, to build a system of skills that allows us to be musicians, we need to know and practice in a conscious way all the movements we do. These movements are what we do when we play just one open string or what we need to do to play the most difficult piece of the repertoire. I pay special attention to achieve a good balance in teaching. I try to make the student develop at the same time the techniques to play the guitar and the artistic sensibility needed to make music. Because no matter the technical level of the student, my classes will always be oriented to making music and to be able to enjoy the processes that the musical activity involves. A simple guitar piece takes on another dimension if the basic principles of musical interpretation are applied. After getting to know and listening to how my students play I propose a short and medium term work plan. This plan is presented taking into account the objectives and wishes of each student. Exercises and pieces are included that will also allow to know the repertoire of the guitar. Therefore, each work plan includes specific and general contents.

Vincent
Intensive music theory lessons (rhythms in reading and dictation, reading of keys)
Music theory lessons, for children (from 9 years old) and adults. Passionate about music theory and music theory, I would be happy to share with you my enthusiasm for music theory, so unfairly devalued, due to the sometimes brutal methods with which it is taught. In the program : - reading notes (treble clefs, C clefs, F clefs) - reading rhythms (quarter notes, eighth notes, double / triple / quadruple eighth notes, triplets and other dotted notes) - dictation of notes (training your ear takes time, but when the exercises are "tailor-made" and progressive, you progress faster) - dictation of rhythms Do not hesitate to tell me the context of your request (competition preparation, repurposing of instruments, exams, etc.). The course durations offered are deliberately short to encourage maximum concentration. It will be essential to prepare the exercises offered between classes, to progress in a way that gives you satisfaction and nourishes your motivation. Classes available in English as well.

I have always been interested in chamber music and in 2016/2018 I attended a post Graduation Course in Chamber Music with prof. Giampaolo Pretto at “Scuola di Musica di Fiesole”.
