Andrew - WakoC$54

C$54Piano, Theory, and Music Composition Lessons in Itabashiku

Trusted teacher: EXPLORE MUSIC THROUGH PIANO PLAYING A graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, I offer private piano lessons at my teaching studio in Narimasu, Itabashiku, Tokyo. In my lessons I strive to teach more than simply how to play the piano. My goal is to help students understand how music works, how to understand it, and how to create it yourself. I take a holistic approach to teaching, incorporating lessons in proper piano technique, listing skills, rhythm and harmony games, good practice habits and techniques, and the history of music, among other things. Above all else I aim to make the lessons as interesting and useful as possible.

André - Ghent, BelgiumRecently activeC$79

C$79Piano Pop/Jazz/Classic by a professional - a comprehensive humanistic approach tailored individually

My name is Andre. I'm a professional musician with more than 10 years living through music. Despite having Jazz as the main focus of my study and practice I've learned to love all genres and absorb each unique values and strengths. Having them integrated in the musical projects I've created or participated on. Projects which revolve around Jazz, Pop, Rock, Psychedelic, Electronic and Reggae. Throughout my professional career I've worked with music schools and private students (+200). During this years I've encountered a plethora of different kinds of students, all levels ranging from kids to seniors and even a good quantity of autistic or down syndrome students, which always made me more and more interested in the art of teaching and helping people grow, by balancing challenge and empathy. My lessons are characterized by a practical approach combined with a theoretical component, that always caters to the student's interests, stimulating their musical taste and creativity. For this, I like to go across the board with disciplines such as: Musical Theory Technique Ear training Performance Composition Improvisation Band/project guidance Study methodoly Reportoire My main objectives as a mentor are: - To captivate students with music and their learning process - To stimulate healthy learning methods based on their own goals - To develop the spirit and discipline of self-learning.

Elena - SwitzerlandRecently activeC$171

C$171Online Piano Lessons in English | Concert Pianist | Structured Training for Serious Students

I offer fully online piano lessons in English for teenagers and adults who want thoughtful, structured and serious musical training. My teaching is rooted in the Russian academic piano tradition, but the lessons are not limited to a narrow repertoire path. We can work with classical pieces or other music that is meaningful to the student — including modern, film, anime or jazz-oriented material — as long as the work remains serious, attentive and musically thoughtful. In my lessons, technique, reading, coordination, sound, rhythm, phrasing, memory and expression are connected into one clear musical system. The aim is not only to learn pieces, but to understand how music works from inside: how the ear, mind, hands, body and musical intention come together. I help students develop a deeper relationship with music as a living language — with direction, structure, breathing, sound, emotion and inner logic. The goal is for the student to play not mechanically, but with understanding, freedom, taste and personal expression. I work best with motivated students: serious teenagers, advanced amateurs, returning adults, and learners preparing demanding repertoire, auditions or international exams, including ABRSM. In every case, the focus is on building a complete musical foundation: technique, sound, understanding, expression and confident independent practice. I am a concert pianist and piano educator with more than 20 years of teaching experience. I studied at the Moscow Conservatory College and the Gnessin Russian Academy of Music, taught at university level, performed internationally and recorded two CDs for Melodiya. The lessons are structured, precise and demanding, but clear and respectful. My aim is to help each student not only play better, but understand music more deeply and gradually become more independent, intelligent and artistic at the piano.

Review by MARIO

Piano or music theory teacher for beginners, amateurs and professionals (Amsterdam)

Katie

It's a joy to work with Katie, she has a lovely personality and a very flexible teaching style. Apart from being a good pianist I value the fact that she is able to put music into context. She has the ability to comprehend and clearly explain the underlying musical dynamics of a piece, which allows her students to not only become better pianist but also better listeners and interpreters of music. Katie is the perfect guide for those wanting to gain a deeper understanding of music altogether.
