About Me

I've been playing piano for more than 12 years. When I was twelve, I made my debut at the Kyiv Philharmony. In Ukraine I have graduated with a gold medal the Kyiv State Music Lyceum, one of the best Ukrainian music institutions, where I studied with Boris Fedorov and Tatiana Abayeva. Now I am studying my Bachelor degree at Conservatorium van Amsterdam with professor Naum Grubert. The amount of inspiration and knowledge I receive from his lessons is the same as the one I want to share with my students.

Currently I have a large background of performing solo, accompanying (voice/instruments), playing chamber music, as well as working with an orchestra. I was lucky to be surrounded by many incredible musicians on my way, from whom I gained a lot of inspiration, techniques and approaches.

For me, piano has always been one of the most fascinating instruments, since it offers enormous range of possibilities and constant discoveries! I am glad to share with my students my own discoveries alongside with the knowledge I've received from great teachers I worked with and with whom I am working. From my own experience, I know about the struggle of not knowing how to do things right, so that's why I'm eager to help in a friendly atmosphere with finding solutions in each case individually. I was always frustrated when teachers told to do something without an explanation how to achieve it. My method focuses on the way of how exactly you may get the result you wish.

There is no miracle behind playing piano. It's about knowing little details and learning how to solve difficulties without being demotivated on your way to express yourself through music.

Osian
Cello, singing and theory lessons from bilingual Welsh and English speaker
Hi my name is Osian and I’m a cellist from South Wales. I’ve taught children of many ages and standards and I really feel privileged to be a part of someone’s musical and personal development. Music lessons can be a way of reaching the concert platform or it could be a way of expressing yourself and being creative, wether it’s a career path or not. I grew up playing and singing where my first priority was to fall in love with music and learn to perform it to the best standard that I could do and that’s what I’d like to encourage my students to aim for too. I’m a BMus Hons Scholar from The Royal Academy of Music and I’m not studying at a masters lever at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

Divakar
2nd Year Voice Jazz student at Conservatorium Van Amsterdam from India with 6 years of teaching experience!
Each voice is different and each person approaches art in their own way. In our classes we aim to find the best possible way to realize your musical goals. The knowledge my teachers at the Conservatorium impart to me is fresh and ready to be shared. I like to create a comfortable environment where one feels excited to sing and challenge themselves. We will go over the techniques of singing, vocal health, other vocal skills, understanding of harmony and bringing out emotion while singing. I've been teaching people of all ages since I was 21. During my 6 years of teaching, I've taught at some of the best local music schools in New Delhi (like One World College of Music and Blue Note School of Music) and have also been tutoring people in private 1v1 classes on both voice and piano.

Tullia
Piano lessons with experienced teacher - graduated pianist.
My teaching method developed during 20 years of experience and thanks to my studies of Music Pedagogy and Piano Teaching during my Master in Piano at Livorno's Conservatory. I am currently a piano teacher in a British School and I prepared several students for ABRSM and Trinity College exams. As a private piano teacher, I work preferably in my studio, on a beautiful grand piano Yamaha, but, if not too far, I am also available for lessons at the student's house. My teaching is adapted to the skills and goals of each student. With beginning children, I aim at a full musical development of the student (not just playing notes, but feeling the rhythm, singing, expressing emotions through free improvisation); technically I don't work only at the finger position, but at the organic interaction arm-wrist-fingers, through simple exercises. With adult or advanced students, I observe them, in order to suggest which type of repertory to work together, and which aspects of technique might still need an improvement. I teach in a classical way, through the learning of notes, harmony and written music, but I teach also how to play songs with only chord symbols, and blues improvisation at a basic level. Both with children and adults I aim at creating a joyful experience during the lesson, in which focus is gained in a playful way, finding each time the best practicing solutions to technical and musical difficulties. In this way, practicing at home becomes not another heavy duty to add to an already busy schedule, but repeating a creative, searching experience, that is never the same. Books: the use of a method is often suggested in the first years. Later I advice classical pieces to be studied. Also pop or rock songs that the student would like to perform are well accepted, if I think the student can afford them.

Luís

Hi! My name is Luís and I am a 3rd year classical piano student at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. If you ever dreamed of playing the piano, I am willing to help you! In my lessons, I always try to engage students in an attractive experience, gathering their focus on the musical meaning of what they are playing, and avoiding being overly concerned about technical difficulties that might come up. For me, music-making has to be rather exciting and fun!

Yammy
Private Music Lessons for Piano, Violin and Erhu (Chinese violin)
As a Cambridge University graduate in the Faculty of Education, I am delighted to have settled down in the Netherlands since September 2019. I started piano at the age of 5, and music has been an important part of my life ever since. Classically trained as a pianist and violinist, I picked up another instrument named Erhu (Chinese violin) and became a professional performer. I am experienced in teaching both children and adults, from different cultural backgrounds. Also, I have been actively involved in both Western and Chinese orchestra since high school. Thanks to my years of experience in being an orchestra member and soloist, I am also familiar with orchestral music. As a humble music therapist, I am passionate about music and believe in the power of music. I trust that music is in everybody and I respect every student's individuality and thus tailor my teaching methods to develop my students' full potential. I started teaching in 2009 and most students put their trust in me when they first decided to learn an instrument. I also enjoy exploring the world of music with students with learning disabilities. I am proud to say, my students, aged from 5 to 60, are enthusiastic in playing the instrument they have chosen and keen to improve their skills following my advice. I adopt a flexible approach in teaching - I believe every student is unique and my job is to develop the strengths and improve the weaknesses. I put a lot of emphasis on a solid foundation in my teaching. For young children, I tend to use a more interactive approach to explain complicated music theories, yet strict in the fundamentals such as posture and rhythm. For adults, I am always happy to discuss with them my lesson plan and choose the best exercises and songs that suit their music interests and needs. For my students who would like to take exams, I am happy to tailor the lessons based on their progress. I believe in the quality of learning and understanding rather than the number of pieces that they learn. Many beginners and their parents have put their trusts in me and achieved distinction in their first ABRSM exam. I am fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and a native speaker of Cantonese Chinese. I am happy to travel and travel costs will be added on the top of the standard tuition fee. *Proof of qualifications avaliable upon requests.
