I have 11 years of experience teaching students at all levels and all ages (children, teenagers, adults). Over those years I have developed a unique teaching method, which is based on individual approach, creativity, fun and professionalism. I offer thorough preparation for various exams, as well as exploration of mainstream classical and popular music repertoire.

My lessons are always personalised. I genuinely care about each and every one of my students, and therefore I think very carefully about their professional development, always trying to find the best way to both challenge and inspire them. I believe that each one of my student has something unique to offer, so all they need is somebody who can help them bring out the best in them and realise their full potential.

Piano lessons with me include:

- Basic and advanced piano techniques

- Understanding musical notation

- Rhythm exercises

- Sight-reading

- Aural exercises

- Music games (for younger students)

- Musical expression and interpretation

- Self-expression through music

- Understanding of music in a historical context

- Performance preparation
