Are you a Horn beginner or are you looking to develop your technique? Are you looking to have more fun with the horn or improve your artistic skills? I offer lessons tailored to your musical goals, and I am happy to work with you to develop your voice with the horn. I can give lessons in English, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Besides music, I have a keen interest in sports and sports psychology. This is also reflected in my teaching method as I incorporate strategies and exercises, that are not so common in the music world. These will boost your practice and enhance your playing, increasing your enjoyment and progress.

A bit about me: I have 2 Bachelor's degrees from the Portuguese National Orchestra Academy (Lisbon) and The Royal Conservatory of the Hague, and a Master's from the Hochschule für Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar (Germany). I have played with orchestras in Germany, the Netherlands and Portugal, including Rotterdam Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Weimar, Staatskapelle Halle, Phion, Noord Nederlands Orkest and many others. Since 2017, I am a member of the Amsterdam-based, Intercontinental Ensemble. We perform concerts regularly throughout the Netherland and have released 3 CDs. I started teaching private pupils in 2018 (both children and adults). Please free to reach out to discuss your needs and goals.

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

✨ Hello!

I am a concert pianist and piano teacher, and I am glad to welcome you to my studio!

🎹 The Studio

• Over 10 years of experience with children and adults
• Advanced methodologies of Russian, Israeli, and US schools
• A pleasant location, a concert grand piano
• An individual approach, a comfortable atmosphere

🤝 Services

All services include the development of aural skills (ear training), all types of piano technique (including from scratch), musical notation, sight-reading, fundamentals of music theory, and solfeggio.

🙋 Lessons for adults

You can start learning music at any age! It is scientifically proven that all musical skills can be developed. I understand how difficult it can be to start something from scratch in adulthood, which is why during lessons I pay special attention to the absence of criticism and pressure.

Learning through your favorite music across various genres (pop, rock, classical, jazz, boogie-woogie, music from games and movies), at a comfortable pace, playing the instrument.

If you have studied music before, it is possible to restore your skills.

🧒 Lessons for children

Harmonious personal development through music. This includes maintaining and developing an interest in playing, the ability to express one's own emotions and hear others' through sound, emotional intelligence, imaginative and artistic thinking, and much more.

Lessons usually take place in a playful format. I teach children with learning differences.

🧑‍💼 Lessons for professionals

Admission to professional music educational institutions for piano: children's music school (ДМШ), college, university (including ABRSM and others). Preparation for concerts and performances. Also covering collaborative piano and ensemble disciplines.

Detailed work on sound production, all types of piano technique, composers' styles and genre characteristics, as well as the ability to perform a piece on stage.

💻 Working online

Thanks to detailed demonstrations and explanations using a professional microphone (photo in profile; captures the grand piano sound perfectly), multiple webcams (for showing different angles), as well as special software (Zoom with special settings, and for interested students, Sonobus for lossless audio), the exact same result is achieved as in face-to-face lessons!

📝 My approach

All work is structured individually, taking into account the age of the client and their wishes. This includes the choice of lesson format, the nature of material presentation, musical pieces, genres, pace of learning, depth of immersion in the material, etc. Learn on the music that you like!

I understand the importance of supporting the student's interest and developing their motivation. In this regard, the lessons feature a comfortable psychological atmosphere of respect, without pressure, in which the student can relax and be themselves without fearing judgment from the teacher.

I actively apply psychoanalytic methods and insights. As well as supplementary materials, such as poetry, works of painting, and sculpture to enrich the student's understanding of music.

🧔 About me

I have been working with children and adults for over 10 years. Both with those who playing for personal enjoyment, and with professionals, as well as with children and adults with developmental special needs.

I regularly improve my qualifications as a teacher, and I also perform as a pianist solo or together with singers and ensembles. I am a laureate of the Moscow Piano Competition of Romantic Music (2018).

I have over 8 years of personal psychoanalysis experience, which gives me a deep understanding of the psychological processes during the lesson, and the ability to hear my student better.

Hey there! Do you want to start a new hobby? Do you already play the piano and you want to improve your skills with a creative approach to the instrument? Then I think I can help you!
I can teach you basic and advanced concepts of any style on the piano (classical, jazz, pop-rock...), and if you like improvisation and jazz then we get along even better!
I offer very personalized classes based on your level and interests. My approach to teaching strongly takes the student's CREATIVITY into account, but without forgetting that a good knowledge of MUSIC THEORY and PIANO TECHNIQUE are essential.

About my philosophy in teaching music:
In a creative field like music, education is a delicate matter. I firmly believe that a teacher must do everything possible to avoid suppressing the student’s personal voice. Each of us — regardless of age or skill level — has a unique approach to music, even before touching the instrument!
My goal is to help students discover their own musical identity at the piano, drawing on my experience and offering a solid theoretical foundation tailored to their interests and level.
That said, as in any discipline, there are no shortcuts in music. Passion and dedication are essential to achieving meaningful results. Furthermore, a solid technical and theoretical foundation is indispensable, no matter your musical interests.
I look forward to sharing my deep passion for music with you. Feel free to reach out for more information!

This course is designed to build skills in either playing the cello, music theory, ear training, or all three! If you are seeking to learn cello this course is a great place to start. I am most familiar with the suzuki books, however I am dedicated to making cello and music as widely available as I can, so if access to sheet music is a challenge I am open to pursuing alternate lesson plans.
If you are a current music student who isn't seeking to learn cello but would like support in Music Theory or Aural Skills (also often referred to as Ear Training), I am more than happy to provide tutoring in those subjects.
