From 56.3 € /h

Growing with joy in playing – developing technique through favorite pieces.

One of the most exciting aspects of playing the piano is the ability to play favorite tunes from movies and Disney fairy tales. You can easily learn and play popular songs that both children and adults will enjoy. This makes practicing the piano even more interesting and inspiring, as you can enjoy familiar and beloved melodies.
Learn your favorite melodies with fun
In my lessons, we'll explore jazz and pop music together on the piano. We'll play the music you love. If you'd also like to learn classical works, we're happy to incorporate that music into the lessons. You'll also learn music theory and ear training (solfeggio) – in a relaxed and playful way, so the focus is always on fun.

The cello is a beautiful instrument from the family of string instruments with a warm, deep sound. The instrument offers the opportunity to play in a wide variety of formations, from solo to in a large orchestra. I have completed an artistic degree and am currently doing a master's degree in education at the Bern University of the Arts. I have already taught for two and a half years in Hanover, where I lived before, and would like to pass on my passion to children. I make my lessons as varied and stimulating as possible - the focus is on fun and games. I also like to improvise with my students on the instrument and am open to all kinds of ideas, including when it comes to the repertoire. But I also have a plan for how I will learn exercises, songs and pieces with the students, depending on their level of difficulty.

“Please keep your style: I really love it!” (Lang Lang, after I played Liszt’s Wild Hunt for him)

Diplomas (from the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot):
- Higher Concert Diploma (Diplôme Supérieur de Concertiste)
- Pedagogy certificate (Certificat de Pédagogie)
- Higher teaching diploma (Diplôme Supérieur d'Enseignement)

For several years I have been giving piano lessons to children and adults, beginners (who have never played the piano) and advanced students (who want to study professionally).

It is about learning a piece effectively and quickly, acquiring good technique, and understanding the theory.

I value your goals and expectations, and I enjoy teaching!

Prices (in 2024):
- 3rd Prize in the international competition Pianissima international (Category: Prestissimo; Jury President: Cyprien Katsaris)
- 3rd prize in the international competition Opus Artis
- 2nd Prize in the Léopold Bellan Competition, special award for Rachmaninoff

I've given several concerts in France, Belgium, and Greece. I've also performed on French television (France 5).

I had the opportunity to audition for Lang Lang in a masterclass at the Salle Cortot in Paris; Lang Lang praised my performance of Liszt's Wild Hunt: "Please keep your style: I really love it!"

I studied at the Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris – Alfred Cortot with Michael Wladkowski and Guigla Katsarava. I studied harmony and counterpoint with the composer Stéphane Delplace. Starting in September 2025, I will be studying with Zlata Chochieva at the Bern University of the Arts.
I'm happy to answer any questions!

The flute has a clear, bright, yet gentle sound that can be cheerful, delicate, or full of energy.
In my lessons, you'll learn to enjoy music naturally, step by step, always tailored to your level and interests. It's not just about technique, but also about expressing yourself, enjoying playing, and discovering everything the flute has to offer.

Lessons can be structured in different ways: through technique, studies and works, or by exploring pieces intended for special occasions – to be played with the family or even together with other musicians.

✨ What to expect?✨

🌻 She is an experienced, patient and committed teacher and musician with a Bachelor’s degree on Jazz Piano and currently studying a masters in composition at HKB.

🌼 Different styles (jazz, classical, pop, world music...)

🌸 Personalized and tailored lessons for all ages and levels.

🌺 Technique, improvisation, harmony, composition, rhythm, music reading, accompaniment for singers...

🎶 What’s stopping you from mastering that song you love?🎶

✏️TEACHING CONCEPT. ✏️

💡 I like to approach music as a language. Just as we learn to speak by first listening,
understanding, recognizing, and imitating words before learning to read and write them, I
believe that musical learning should follow a similar path. That’s why I place strong
emphasis on aural development, listening, and internalizing sound before focusing on
notation.

💡 My teaching is based on experience, intuition, and exploration. I aim to create a space where
each student feels free to play, discover, and express themselves, encouraging them to
follow their own curiosity and find personal meaning in music.

💡 I always adapt to the needs and goals of each student. Some come with a clear desire to
study classical repertoire, and in those cases I introduce reading and technical work from the
beginning — but always in a way that connects with the music’s expressive and structural
elements, not just as abstract exercises. I believe analysis, understanding, and creativity can
go hand in hand with solid technical and reading skills. Others want to accompany
themselves while singing, or ask for tools to help them create and develop their own musical
ideas. I enjoy guiding each of them through these different paths, offering a wide range of
resources and approaches.

💡 I also pay close attention to each student’s musical interests when choosing repertoire.
Whether they’re drawn to classical, pop, jazz, or music from games or films, I believe it’s
possible to build strong musical foundations by working with music they connect with. No
matter the style, we can explore technical, rhythmic, harmonic, and expressive aspects that
will contribute to their overall development and motivation.

✨My goal is to nurture a deep, joyful, and personal relationship with music in every student,
regardless of age, level, or background.✨
