Learn Violin or Viola plus Improvisation or Music Theory with a dedicated, friendly and expert tutor no matter what your age or ability level may be. I am a devoted teacher with over 25 years of experience tutoring a wide range of ages and abilities, from young children to adults and from beginners to advanced players. My approach is one of flexibility, taking into account the aims and abilities of each individual and tailoring lessons to suit the student's needs, whether they are preparing for exams, performances or just playing as a hobby. I always strive to make lessons an enjoyable and inspiring experience. I also teach improvisation techniques as a doorway into exploring creative playing outside of the traditional classical method of studying. This is integrated into the firm technical foundation of my mainly classical training and can help give learners another dimension to their playing which can enrich and enliven their approach to whatever kind of repertoire they are studying. I am always eager to share my experience and knowledge with students looking for direction in pursuing a future career in music. Being a performer and teacher has been a positive experience and opened many doors. I want to continue to spread this positivity by sharing my experiences and love of music with my students.

Hello, I have been teaching violin at the largest music school in Bulgaria, “Rockschool”, for 14 years. I have extensive experience with beginner violinists of all ages. I graduated from the Music Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria, with a degree in violin. Since 2007, I have been part of the Classic FM radio orchestra, with which we have played with the most current stars in classical music. Since 2008, I have been part of the Sofia Symphony Orchestra, with which we have played in the most prestigious halls in Europe.

I offer personalized piano lessons and classical music theory classes for students of all ages and skill levels. With a Master’s degree in Music Pedagogy from the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, Serbia, and five years of experience teaching piano at a state music school in Serbia, I focus on developing both technical skills and a deep understanding of musical concepts. Students will learn proper piano technique and posture, sight-reading and music reading skills, and interpretation and expression of classical repertoire. Piano lessons are complemented by classical music theory, where students will gain knowledge of rhythm, harmony, scales, chord progressions, musical notation, and overall understanding of musical structure. Lessons are tailored to individual goals, combining practical playing skills with theoretical knowledge to help students build a solid foundation in classical music.

With over 20 years of experience in teaching and performing, a Degree in Folk and Traditional Music from the Department of Music Studies, University of Ioannina, appearances at concerts and festivals in Greece and abroad, collaborations with renowned artists, recordings, as well as in traditional Greek festivals, and work as a songwriter and arranger, I offer lessons that combine technique, creativity, and personal guidance. What you will learn: • Theory of Greek folk music for understanding rhythms and songs. • Ear training exercises to develop listening skills and musical perception. • Techniques for folk guitar and improvisation. • Song accompaniment and learning your favorite pieces. • Personalized practice to help you play quickly whatever you love.

Do you want to refine your composing for the piano? This course is for you. In this class we will work on a new piece of yours that includes the piano, and we will discuss about: • a short anatomy of the grand piano. • easy, difficult and unplayable passages (with normal and extended techniques). • the role of pedals on the instrument. • muscle fatigue - the importance of dense and sparse writing. • use of texture and colour. • orchestration on the instrument. Standard extended techniques - notation. • the role of the instrument in the contemporary orchestra and sinfonietta ensemble. • improvisation: dos and don'ts when writing improvised music. The piece can be an idea you had for solo piano/chamber or vocal music (with piano) and want to start composing, a solo piece you have started but you're now stuck on the technical capabilities and difficulties of the instrument, an orchestral piece that contains the piano and you need to better understand its role, or even an old piece which you want to review. Things we'll do: • I'll show you around the piano and its parts (full demonstration of the mechanism). • I'll demonstrate the use of certain extended techniques on my piano. • I'll be testing passages of your piece and give technical advice. You'll have the opportunity to test some passages from your piece as well (optional but highly encouraged). • We'll be listening to some important pieces as aid to each topic we are discussing. The pieces will be from all periods and styles. If you have a composition teacher or you are studying composition at a university: This course is BY NO MEANS a substitute to your teacher. Things like form, composition technique, harmony, style, texture etc. are up to your teacher and you. I may speak my mind on those topics as well, but my goal is not to substitute your teacher, but rather to help you with a more specialised approach to the instrument both from the side of the composer and the performer. If you don't have a composition teacher: Then I am happy to help you with composing this piece of yours. However, note that this may take more time, and we may need to discuss separately a few things about composition. Booking policy: If you want to book this course, then you must have in mind that we'll need several 60 or 90 minutes sessions to complete it. If we do one 90 minute session about one topic from the above, then we certainly need 8-10 sessions to complete the course. So if you are planning for us to talk about everything above, note that fact and plan accordingly (both in terms of schedule and finances). You may as well choose to do a selection from the topics above, or even ask me to show you something else and if I can I will. What I want though is a clear plan, a clear goal for this course, so that I'll cater it to your individual needs. I kindly ask that if you plan on doing the whole course to book it in advance. I also have a quite difficult schedule as an active musician, so we need to be accurate on our scheduling and don't change it all the time. I also reserve the right to deny an application due to time constraints. Sessions will be scheduled on a weekly basis (once a week), and this is for two reasons: 1. I want to be able to provide the best experience for you by planning the lessons to my best capacity, and 2. You will need time to study and work on your piece. All sessions are booked and paid in advance. Cancelling policy: • If any of us gets sick, then we may cancel a session and postpone it for the next time (provided we are in good health). • Hospitalisation and serious health conditions may lead us to cancel several sessions. In that case, paid sessions are "frozen" indefinitely (until we get well) and (in great need) refunded. However, to refund those sessions I'll need to see at least some verification from the hospital. • If you are booking several sessions in advance, you may lose one or two sessions and we'll postpone it for the next time, but no more than two. The third session lost will be paid as an extra session. You'll need to notify me for the lost sessions at least 2 days in advance. • The same works in the opposite way: I may lose a session or two, but no more than two. If I lose a third, then I'll owe you an extra session free of charge. However, I reserve the right to cancel a course completely (see below). • If you are booking one lesson and you don't show up in the first 15 minutes or notify me of your absence, then the lesson is cancelled and not refunded. • For many reasons, I'll may need to cancel the whole course with you. Sometimes people just aren't on the same wavelength, sometimes work or life gets to us, sometimes you may need a more capable teacher etc. If I cancel with you, then I will need to refund the sessions we didn't do. HOWEVER, if you don't show up and not notify me for two sessions or more, then I will not refund you for the lost sessions. I will reach out and give you a "last chance" to show up to a final session, and if you won't show up I'll automatically consider the course with you cancelled and not refund the remaining sessions. Dos and don'ts: I want this to be a safe space, where we'll be exchanging views and sharpening our tools. I like to behave accordingly and be calm and just talk and present something I love. However, I will need to talk about some things with some authority, and I need space from you to do so. So, snickering, whining, interrupting and being toxic in general isn't for me. If something bothers me, I will express it, and I also want for you to do the same. Finally, I teach (high) intermediate level or advanced, meaning that some things will be considered given and known. You must know -for example- to read score, sometimes complex, you must know at least some harmony and counterpoint and have a clear goal as a composer. I don't judge your stylistic choices, my goal is to help you widen your pallet, but you need to be at a certain knowledge level to keep up. So when you reach out to me to book a lesson you also need to send me a couple of your pieces, complete with score (or if they are improvisational you must note it). Based on them we'll proceed (again, not stylistic choice but based on your knowledge level). Thank you for reading this, happy to work with you!

Listening and recentering — a short moment to connect with yourself and your breath 2. Vocal and physical warm-up — fun exercises to relax, position, and awaken the voice 3. Targeted technical work — accuracy, support, resonance, articulation... according to your objectives 4. Interpretation of a piece — practice on a song chosen together 5. Feedback and grounding — feelings, adjustments, and avenues for future progress Accompaniment at the piano or on orchestra bands. You are interested? Do not hesitate and dare to take the plunge! (Children: from 8 years old - Teenagers - Adults)

As a musician, you spend a significant amount of time in the practice room. It’s nice to make this time as enjoyable as possible while also maximizing efficiency. In this class, you’ll receive individualized coaching on the structure of your practice time, as well as practice strategies to boost learning. During a lesson we will work together to assess your goals for practice, what is working well for you, and what areas need improvement. You’ll also learn how to structure your practice time to improve accuracy and help you learn new material faster. The course can be designed as a trajectory over several sessions to meet a long-term practice or performance goal, but you’ll be surprised at just how much the impact of even a single session can make on your playing. Your brain works hard to strengthen neural pathways and make new connections, both while you practice your instrument and in the days after a practice session. You already think about *what* to practice, let’s consider together *how* you practice.

Music is a powerful tool for creative expression. In my classes I will guide you through refining your tools. Whether that be vocal work or theory tutoring I will tailor the classes to the students needs. For voice I will use a classical framework.
