Cello, Piano and Composition+Music Theory Lessons for all ages and levels

A partir de 49.17 $ /h

I am a cellist, composer and pianist from Chicago currently residing in Graz, Austria! I received my Bachelors in Cello and Composition in the USA from Indiana University and am currently pursuing my masters in Cello Konzertfach at Kunst Universität Graz. I have years of experience working as a private cello, piano and composition teacher. I am used teaching all levels, and have certification to teach string students as young as six years old from Indiana University's String Academy Program. In addition to teaching instrumental and composition lessons privately, I also have experience teaching music theory and aural skills as a graduate teaching assistant.

I adjust my teaching based on what you or your child would like to learn. From helping you learn to play a Bach cello suite, to Bohemian Rhapsody on piano, or get feedback and mentorship on your own compositions, I would be happy to play a part in your musical journey! :)

Información adicional

For cello students, I will help you find a beginner instrument if you do not have one already.
For piano students: an electric keyboard will be required at your home at a minimum.
For composition students: I will adjust my curriculum based on your level. For beginners, we will start with foundations of music theory and I will give weekly short composition assignments to teach various compositional techniques.

Acerca de mí

I was fortunate to have grown up with parents who supported my musical endeavors by providing me with excellent teachers. Some of the most important relationships of my life are with my musical mentors, so I take my own responsibility as a teacher very seriously. I want to help you grow in your musicianship to the best of my ability. I will do my best to help you get to the point of growth that you would like to reach, and I will make sure we will have fun in the process! :)

In these lessons you will learn how to study and play the piano. You can ask for specific pieces that you really want to play, or we can start togheter a training with exercises and pieces. I also teach sightreading (how to read a score!), how to play with singers or other musicians and solfeggio. Regarding composition, I can give you the first base and teach how to approach, how to analyse a piece, and how to train the ear, and a bit of harmony and contrapoint.

I offer piano lessons, tailored for you.

Whether you want to get to know the instrument, improve and optimise your technique, or just have fun learning something new, I’ve got you covered.

I specialise in classical music, but I’m very open to other genres that can be played from score.

Professor with a Higher Diploma in Piano from the Liceu Conservatory of Music in Barcelona and specializing in Spanish music from the Frank Marshall Academy (founded by Enrique Granados).

My curriculum is comprehensive and progressive. My teaching method focuses primarily on good sight-reading, combined with refined piano technique.

I also address learning difficulties such as postural problems, tension, and faulty touch.

My piano technique is based on the Enrique Granados school and his specific touch-based method, emphasizing sound and proper pedal use.

We will work on three basic sections: technique exercises, studies, and works from all styles (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.).

We will also cover music theory (theory + daily exercises from the ABSRM method), solfège, choral singing, written ear training, score analysis, and concert listening exercises.

In addition to my in-person lessons, my online classes feature high-quality audio and video specifically designed for musicians: via the Zoom video call app (with settings that typically offer better sound for piano), and using OBS production software so you can clearly see the keyboard and hands from different angles.
Sound is captured with Behringer stereo microphones (piano) and a separate microphone for vocals, and multiple screens are used to combine sheet music, explanation, and real-time demonstration.

The goal is to make the online lesson as close as possible to an in-person class.

I have 30 years of experience as a teacher. Lessons are personalized to each student's needs, for all levels and ages (children and adults).

I am a professional opera pianist and experienced Maestro Collaboratore at the Opera of Maribor, specialized in coaching singers in Opera, Lied and vocal repertoire. With many years of international experience in opera houses, conservatories and masterclasses, I help singers prepare their roles, arias and programs with confidence, musical precision and stylistic understanding.

My coaching focuses on:

Musical line, phrasing and style

Text, diction and dramatic intention

Role and aria preparation

Audition repertoire & stage readiness

Technical clarity and artistic expression

I adapt each session to the specific needs of every singer, offering a calm, supportive and highly professional working environment similar to an opera rehearsal studio. My goal is to help you build both artistic depth and technical security, whether you are a student, professional singer or preparing for auditions, concerts or exams.

I have worked extensively with singers in different institutions and production contexts, collaborating daily with soloists, conductors and directors. This practical experience allows me to guide you effectively through the musical, vocal and theatrical aspects of your repertoire.

I look forward to supporting you in your vocal and artistic development.
