Piano playing, Music Theory, Compose your own music

I am an experienced music teacher with studies at LCM (London College of Music) system, HKU Conservatory of Utrecht and BMus graduate of ArtEZ Conservatory in Zwolle.
I have teaching experience with children from 4 years old and adult beginners as well. I offer private lessons for music theory and piano. I have followed specific lessons for psychology and pedagogics for teachers.
My lessons include piano practise and theory. My approach is artistic, creative and always based to the needs of each individual student. Every student takes the time needed according to his level and age. Even from the very first lessons, we will start playing music!
I believe playing and experiencing how fun music can be is really important to keep the fun in the class, for that reason I use music fragments and even duets for all my students.

Elsa's a great teacher! Really adjusts the material to your own pace and level. Will be taking more lessons with her.
Elsa gave the first piano lesson to my 3year old son. She has a very gentle patient and engaging approach, and a teaching method specialised for children. I’d strongly recommend her.
Elsa gave a super fun lesson, she is a nice, pleasant teacher who has an eye for the child and can inspire enthusiasm for the instrument

Singing Lessons (+Online)&more: Learn About Singing, Music(theory), Songwriting and Presenting: Be You!
Due Corona Now Online Lessons!!! Music is very special tool to express yourself in a creative way. When it comes to singing it gets even more personal, because the instrument is you! I am an experienced singer in jazz and popular music styles. Besides that I am a songwriter and arranger. I like to teach everyone in a personal way, that fits with your interests and talents. In the end I always apply different topics, such as singing technique, rhythm, songwriting, interpretation and presentation. * I like to teach you techniques and to give you tools that makes it easier to sing and to find your own sound. * Besides how to sing, I like to teach you about music, so you can apply your singing skills when you want to apply your musicality f.e. in a band, a choir etc. * I can teach you how to write songs, lyrics, melodies and chords. * I believe that interpretation and presentation are a big part of singing and also how they give you tools to sing better.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
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.

Pietro
Learn Piano and Music Theory with a CREATIVE APPROACH - Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock...
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. Constant practice is recommended for better results, although it is not strictly required.
