    About Me

    I am a 25-year-old native of Santa Barbara, California. I began studying piano at the age of 7 and fell in love with the instrument! I earned my bachelors of music in Piano Performance at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music and my Masters of Music in Piano Accompaniment at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. I am continuing my studies with Julius Drake in Lieder performance at the Kunstuniversität in Graz and work in Vienna as a freelance pianist with singers while giving recitals throughout Europe and the United States.

    I have performed in the United Sates, Germany, and around the UK, at the Barbican Hall, Wigmore Hall, LSO St. Luke's, Cadogan Hall, Oxford Lieder Festival, Leeds Lieder Festival, and on broadcasts for BBC Radio 3. I made my BBC Proms debut this summer in a recital of American music honoring the centennial of Leonard Bernstein with mezzo-soprano Wallis Giunta. I am a prizewinner of the International Helmut Deutsch Lied Competition and a recipient of the Somerset Song Prize for best pianist as well as the piano accompaniment prize from the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. A recipient of many awards as a solo pianist, I gave my debut recital in the Belz-Parker Young Artist Series and have performed with orchestras throughout the United States. I was the bandleader/pianist for the jazz combo Cut Time, which performed throughout Southern California, and studied jazz piano with Professor Barry Green at the Guildhall School.

    Experience / Qualifications

    While at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, Istudied Piano Pedagogy and developed my skills as a teacher. I have a wide experience of teaching students of all ages. With young students and beginners I emphasize good technique and posture at the piano, both development of aural skills (playing by ear) and music reading skills (playing by sight), and musical imagination and creativity. With intermediate to advanced students, I focus on helping a student find their artistic voice, refine their technique, and build their repertoire and knowledge of music theory and music history.

    In California, I developed an introductory course for intermediate to advanced pianists focusing on improvisation and basic jazz harmony to build skills in playing jazz and pop songs from lead sheets. Elements of improvisation and jazz/pop harmony can be incorporated in any lesson according to the wishes of the student.

    Piano lessons for fun, whether you are an expert or a guest
    This course is aimed at anyone who is considering starting to play the piano or starting where they may have stopped years ago or simply looking for advice and listeners. I offer fresh access to teaching, where basic principles and ideas of playing the piano are adapted to the skills and any previous knowledge. But since the music is never just in the notes and keys, I also attach particular importance to a simple and creative introduction to the classical music language and the theory associated with it. The most important thing in the end is still the joy of making music and that's why I try to make the hours fun and relaxed :)

    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.

    Lydia
    Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
    I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons to students of all levels. As a pianist with 14 years of teaching experience and over 23 years of playing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the course of learning piano. If the student is interested in a more serious approach, I can also guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions and for various competitions. Recently, my students have achieved the highest marks in the ABRSM exams as well as prizes in competitions. We also have a class concert for interested students twice per year. I am happy working in both a relaxed and serious approach, we simply need to discuss the objectives of the student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota and TCU-Fort Worth, TX, USA. My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist in orchestra (also as a harpist), and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio and look forward to meeting new students.
