Do you want to start playing the piano, progress or simply learn to play the pieces you love? I will accompany you in your learning with a progressive, personalized and caring approach. I offer lessons at my home in Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure for beginners and intermediate students, children, teenagers and adults. Since each student has their own desires and goals, I adapt to your level and pace. The objective is to learn the essential basics of piano while enjoying playing and progressing. 🎼 Course structure We will start gradually with the basics of music theory and reading scores, in order to allow you to become increasingly independent when faced with a score. We will then work on pieces chosen by the student or suggested according to their level and tastes. I can introduce you to different musical styles: classical music, pop, contemporary music, vocal accompaniment, etc. Over the course of the sessions, we will cover topics including: reading sheet music, coordination between the right and left hand, posture, rhythm, stress management and musicality. My goal is to enable you to progress step by step while developing your autonomy, musicality and confidence. Never played piano before? No problem! We'll start with the basics and progress gradually. Do you already have some basic knowledge? Together we can identify areas for improvement and design sessions based on your objectives. Do you want to learn how to accompany yourself while singing? As a singer-songwriter, pianist, and pianist myself, I can also teach you the basics needed to accompany yourself on the piano while singing. 🎶 My musical experience I have been playing the piano for 5 years and I have my Brevet d'Études Musicales (BEM), corresponding to the end of cycle 2 at the conservatory. As a contemporary music pianist, I have had the opportunity to perform in various settings: concerts, piano/voice duos, multi-instrumental groups, choirs and auditions. I am available to answer any questions you may have and would be delighted to discuss your level, desires, and objectives with you. Feel free to contact me to arrange an initial meeting. I look forward to meeting you! Musically, Silvia

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.

My piano lessons are structured, encouraging, and designed to make learning piano feel both achievable and fun. Students learn the fundamentals they need to become confident musicians, including music reading, proper technique, rhythm, and playing skills, while also getting to learn songs they actually enjoy. I believe that learning music shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating. I break down new concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps and adjust my teaching to each student’s age, experience level, learning style, and goals. Whether you’re completely new to piano or looking to build on skills you already have, we’ll work together to help you make steady progress. No prior experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for music! I’m excited to help you begin (or continue) your musical journey!

Hi! I have over 7 years of teaching experience from young kids to adults of all levels and I love it! My goal is for my students to find joy in playing an instrument and have fun during the lessons. I also aim to make every student come out of the lesson feeling motivated to carry on learning, and tailor the lessons to what they want to learn and how to achieve their goal. I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

You can spend years learning one new piece after another and still remain at roughly the same level: reading note by note, struggling to see the connections within the music, and feeling helpless without a teacher. The repertoire changes, while the quality of playing, musical thinking and independence change very little. I do not believe this should be the normal outcome of piano lessons. The most valuable part of playing the piano is the feeling of genuinely owning the music: being able to enter its world, experience it fully and bring your own musical hearing to life at the instrument. My role as a teacher is to make the path from the score to that state as direct and natural as possible. I teach music as a system and a language. Students learn to see the musical logic behind the notation: to understand harmony and form, follow the direction of a phrase, recognise style and character, and gradually become more fluent and independent musicians. My teaching is rooted in the Russian academic piano tradition, but the repertoire can be classical, modern, film, anime or jazz-oriented. What matters is that the work remains serious, attentive and musically meaningful. I work with motivated teenagers and adults, from beginners to advanced players. With beginners, I aim to make score reading fluent and natural as early as possible while developing an understanding of how music works from the inside. If a student already plays but feels stuck, I identify what is actually limiting further progress. Difficulties that seem separate are often connected, and I work with the underlying cause rather than treating each symptom in isolation. After a long break, I help bring existing knowledge and skills back into active use, identify the genuine gaps and organise what remains into a working system from which the student can move forward. With advanced students, the work can include mental practice and principles from Stanislavski’s system. I am a concert pianist and piano educator with 23 years of teaching experience, from private work with students of different levels to university-level teaching at the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music. I graduated with honours from the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music and later completed postgraduate studies there. For more than twenty years I performed in Russia and internationally across Europe, Asia and South America. I received first prizes at the Salieri–Zinetti International Chamber Music Competition in Italy in 2010 and the Max Reger Chamber Music Competition in Germany in 2011, and recorded two albums for the Melodiya label. Lessons are fully online and taught in English.
