Piano lessons& music theory for beginners and intermediates / ABRSM preparations
Hi there! My name is Norica. I am a pianist and a piano teacher from Tokyo.
Just quickly to the point: My approach is holistic and systematic. It uses lots of fun exercise and nice educational materials from Japan in addition to the Internationally recognized standard books. (Don't worry, you don't have to understand Japanese!) You learn not only how to play piano but also how music works- music theory.
I know what my students are good at and not so good at right off the bat. That's why I can tailor the lesson plans to their goals and needs.
Also, if you like to take an ABRSM exam, the syllables will be tailored accordingly. So what will be tested on the day of exam are integrated into the lessons and my class/lesson offers all-round preparation for the exam.
Another important aspect of my lesson is to focus on improving cognitive skills - increasing in memory, right-hand-left-hand-coordination, sustained attention, nonverbal communication, and a feeling of independence and freedom.
I do so with unique materials from Japan and fun trainings.
Currently students from 5 to 72 years old are taking my lessons. As an educator, I am committed to the process of learning while making lessons enjoyable and constructive.
Please drop me a line if you're interested. If you have any questions about the lesson, feel free to ask.
I will be happy to answer to all your questions!
Thank you

About Me
Let me get straight to the point.It's nice to play piano. It connects you with people and feeds your soul. Piano is like your best friend who is always there for you in particular when you go through a lot in life.
At age of 4 when I started playing piano, I was a bit struggling to read sheet music and had a lot of pressure to be perfect from spartan teachers. Well, piano has only black and white keys and you get confused with which note is where, don't you?
Mistakes are inevitable and they're part of learning. So I totally understand how beginners feel like when they just begin a piano.
You will learn something new in each lesson.
My approach is fun, friendly, systematic and effective. Not like my old teachers..!

Reviews (12)
At the end of my first session, I was playing a song on the piano! I learned to read music, and hand placement, and played a song in the first hour! Very cool. Norica is a great teacher and listened to my needs, and was interested in the objectives I wanted to achieve by learning to play the piano.
Great introduction to piano, perfect for beginners and those who are planning to learn from zero. The method is very well structured and fun.
Norica is very friendly and has a very effective teaching method. After only 4 lessons my theory and piano skills have improved a lot. I enjoy these lessons very much!
My 9-y-o daughter loves her piano teacher. Norica knows well how to keep her interested and engaged while teaching the music theory.
Norica is a great teacher, especially for me who has busy schedule with work. She is a kind person who makes learning to play piano fun and enjoyable. She is very encouraging and she uses effective method of teaching. I always looking forward to have her lesson.

Piano Classes at home! For all levels, ages and styles
My piano course is for you if you are curious about learning the piano, if you used to play it and want to come back to it, if you feel like you need some guidance in order to boost your improvement or whatever other reason! I am a classical piano conservatoire student, but I am comfortable teaching contemporary, pop and other non-classical repertoire too! I aim to accompany my students in a journey that I fell in love with instantly, that in the realm of music, and to allow my students to find a new way to express themselves through the piano.
My primary focus is the student - I aim to tailor the lessons to your needs and wishes and to make the experience as nice and enjoyable as possible! Feel free to hit me up for a lesson and we can see whether I'm the right teacher for you! I am based in the Hague but can teach in Leiden on set weekdays

Piano Lessons with two Grand Pianos. Preparations for ABRSM and Competition.
There are two grand pianos at the location in Den Haag. There will be enough distance between the student and the teacher.
For children, it is important to develop basic musical skills through Singing, Rythmique, and Ear training besides piano playing. I use one technical exercise book, the main textbook, and a theory book. Through these 3 books, students learn different aspects of music and they naturally get ready for exams and grades.
After acquiring basic skills, students study Harmony and Chord exercise too. These are useful for playing pops and jazz, and they obtain a deeper understanding of classical pieces too.
Private Piano lesson, from age 4 above. Children can start the lesson after being able to read the number from 1 to 5 and the alphabet from A to G.
Advanced students who want to prepare for competitions, auditions, ABRSM, GCSE, IB exams, or the entrance exam of the conservatory.
The concert is held annually together with students of flute, violin, and composition teachers.
For the age 1-7 years, I have group Rhythmique lessons.
Javier
Enjoy the music! Bassoon, Basic Piano lessons and Music Theory.
Highly dedicated and passionate teacher.
Age does not matter when it comes to learning, just enjoying it. Lessons for beginners to more advanced students.
Always trying to keep a creative environment where the students can express themselves in all aspects.
I believe that it is necessary to be constant. The ideal would be one hour or hour and a half a week, but that depends on the student availability. I would provide a personal adaptation.
I like playing games, singing and coming up to most creative solutions for learning fast inside of a save space for questions and imagination of the student. It is very important to motivate the students regarding to their music tastes.
I consider myself an involved and motivated musician. I am constantly trying to learn new styles and enjoy so much doing it. At the moment I am studying my second bachelor degree in music, specifically in Early Music.
I am very flexible with schedules for lessons so coming to a common point should not be very difficult.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ME:
My name is Gina and I am a piano and music theory teacher.
I have been professionally teaching for more than 6 years and have guided children, teenagers, and adults of EVERY age!
I consider myself a musician in a more holistic way than just a pianist, having experienced also multiple other instruments such as the viola, the tampouras (traditional byzantine instrument), guitar and voice, as well as different choirs and orchestras. At the age of 21 I gained my first professional degree in music harmony from the Conservatory "EHOGENESIS" and one year later in the classical piano from the Conservatory of Saint-Dimitris. Meanwhile, I was accepted into "The Royal Conservatory" of The Hague, to continue more advanced piano studies.
ABOUT THE LESSON:
The construction of the lessons is tailored on each student's needs and wishes. I choose pieces and exercises from different books, while guiding the students on practicing songs that they personally like. I also provide basic music theory notes and knowledge, to help with the understanding of the piano and music in general.
Every lesson is an opportunity to learn something new and my goal as your teacher is to help you pursue your passion and bring out the BEST in you!
The lesson take place either in person or online.
*For the students who want to understand deeper the music, I am also teaching music theory as a separate class.
Thank you for stopping by and see you soon!

Piano lessons for children/adults, beginner/intermediate
Music lessons in a variety of genres, tailor-made for whatever the student (child or adult) requires. I can teach in a strict "classical" style or any song that the student might want to learn (as a composer I am quite savvy in arranging existing songs in any style and for any level).
Input (daily practise) is required from the student for productive lessons and, if necessary, homework is given every week.
I have experience with individual or group lessons.

A lot of my students also learn to play the harp as a beautiful hobby!

Piano and music lessons (Intoduction to piano Jazz, Bossa Nova...)
Music is in our everyday life, wheather we realise it or not. To go in to music and start learning it is as natural as learning how to walk, cicle, or even breathe! Whichever the instrument, It is one of the most beautifull experiences we can give to ourselves, bound to take us to new and undiscovered places.
My name is João, I'm from Portugal, I'm 24 years of age, and I'm doing my bachelor in jazz at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. I've been playing piano all my life, and can't wait to share what I've learned with you!
I teach piano to all ages from beguinner to intermedeate. Although I have a program, I will let you create your own path, taking in to acccount the several landmarks I create acording to your level and needs. Teaching is all about the individuality of each person I work with, and as a student myself, I find it to be one of the most important points in teaching.
I focus mainly in jazz music, but since music theory and harmony respect all kind of music, I am open to every sugestion you bring in to the class. The lessons will focus on learning music through listening, as well as introducing the student to music theory, and reading scores. Whether you like Pop, Jazz, Bossa Nova or Classical, all music come from the same place, so let's dive in!

Piano and Music Theory Lessons for children and adults (beginners, advanced)
Learning how to play an instrument can fall into many classroom stereotypes; Not if you strive to discover sounds and styles, if you're open to learning not only an instrument but all that is related to music and sound making!
I've taught at different institutes and private lessons for +5 years; then slowly began to put together my own method of teaching not only piano, but related subjects to help students gain a broader knowledge and be able to take next steps in their music journey even when they're finished with their music lessons.With all the experience I gathered in working with children and adults, I've composed a method of teaching subjects related to piano performance(music theory, music history, improvisation and creative music composing) alongside lessons on the instrument and piano techniques, as the student proceeds and is in need of more broad knowledge.
It doesn't matter wether the student is a pupil or an adult, if they have experience in music or not, there's always a lot to discover together in my lessons; based on the students needs and interests.
I usually start with basics of the instrument and give students a general lesson on how the instrument works. As we proceed in our lessons, we will cover techniques and more specific skills based on the interest of the student.Our lessons are very flexible regarding class material and my aim is to keep the lessons always fun and informative as well as following the bigger aim of helping the student to be confidant in their music performing and music creation.
The format of our lessons will not stay the same as we work on different pieces, different skills and subjects. There are certain repertoire we will cover but also some of the pieces the student likes to be able to play and understand.
We will also work on performing skills, I often organise mini concerts for students that like to overcome their fear of performing on stage or for others, giving them the opportunity to perform their own pieces or from classic piano repertoire.
