At the piano we can learn how to play music you love, how to freely improvise (through a practical use of theoretical knowledge of music) and how to write musical thoughs you may have. I am Francesca, 31, italian, i had a strong classical training, and after my academic piano studies i needed to open to jazz and songwriting. My will is to offer a comprehensive and pleasurable approach to music, and to keep the focus on the needs and desires that bring my student close to the piano.

It is never too late to start or resume learning piano! My teaching experience makes me a witness to this. Perhaps you came looking for piano lessons because you wish to be able to play some particular pieces, or to develop specific skills. Or maybe you don't know what your goal is yet, but are fond of the sound of the piano and want to dive into this wonderful instrument. Whatever the case, I am looking forward to hearing from you and discussing your next step! I try as much as possible to tailor the work with each individual student aiming at the goals set and the student's musical tastes. This becomes more the case the higher the student's level of experience. Nevertheless, beginners are also encouraged to suggest music for themselves to learn. The work on pieces is combined with other important activities designed to develop finger dexterity, hand coordination, rhythmic sense, music reading, playing by ear, etc. The Cortot, Hanon and scale exercises are some of my frequent choices for the technical work. For young beginners, I defend a no-book approach during the first 2 or 3 months, for three main reasons: it makes learning more fun, it unlocks our creative potential and it allows us to explore the instrument rather confidently and freely. Instead of learning how to read right from the start, students have the opportunity to play games, listen to music, sing, compose, and improvise over backing tracks, developing the core skills necessary for any musical activity later on. After this period, it is then time to introduce them to a method book. The one I recommend the most is Piano Safari. For teenage and adult beginners, the activities described above are selected and adjusted, and theory concepts may be introduced at an earlier stage. If desired, graded level series such as the RSL Classical or Contemporary Piano, among others, may be opted for. Please notice that my scheduling may not always be up to date on this website, so the best way to know my availability is sending me a message. Feel free to get in touch for any other questions as well! Looking forward to meeting you soon, Rodrigo

I am a piano teacher with a specialized Master in Music Education and 19 years of teaching experience, in official music conservatoires, academies and private lessons. I am currently doing my PhD in Musical Sciences: Teaching and Psychology of Music. I also have a Master in Music: Piano, and a Postgraduation in Music in Childhood: Intervention and Research. I tailor my lessons to each student, according to their interests, levels, and learning goals. I love to teach and I have continuously done it privately and in official music schools, with students from beginner to advanced levels, from 3 to about 70 years old. With my help you can learn from a basic to an advanced level, develop musically and technically, read and interpret any score. I have also participated in several piano masterclasses with world-renowned pianists and performed as a soloist and as a chamber musician in venues in Portugal, The Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium and the United Kingdom.

My piano lessons are built around one goal: awakening a genuine desire to explore music, and above all, helping each student develop their own taste for musical expression and the technical tools to master them, both mechanical and mental. Music is a unique challenge that gives us a new way of seeing ourselves, teaching patience, self-belief, and problem-solving along the way. I pair this outlook with solid technical grounding, adapted to any level of experience, and lessons shaped around each student's own musical goals. I regularly bring in musical analysis and theory, which often unlocks the "secrets" hiding inside the pieces we play. As a symphonic conductor and choral singer, I bring a broader, more complete musical perspective into every lesson. I'm also particularly effective with children — I have a strong track record of making music genuinely interesting to them and building real curiosity rather than rote practice. I've been teaching piano for over a decade, working with students from age 2 to 70, amateurs and professionals alike. As a performing musician, I've taken part in international competitions and hold a degree from the University of York. I teach in Portuguese, English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish, and offer lessons at my home, at the student's home, or online — whatever works best for you.

Would you like to start playing the piano, return to it after a break, or develop your skills further? I offer individual piano and music theory lessons tailored to your level, interests, and musical goals. We work on technique, music reading, and interpretation through repertoire suited to your experience. Music theory is connected to practical playing, helping you understand the music you learn. For beginners, the focus is on building solid foundations and gaining confidence at the keyboard. For those who already play, we can explore tone, coordination, phrasing, and specific challenges within the pieces you are studying. I aim to create a relaxed environment where you can ask questions and experiment, with clear explanations and achievable goals. My experience as a concert pianist, teacher, and collaborative pianist allows me to support students with different backgrounds and interests. Lessons are available in person in Lisbon or online, in English, Portuguese, Russian, or Ukrainian. Send me a message telling me about your piano experience and what you would like to learn.

This class is for anyone who wants to get into piano or for getting their kids into piano. I teach in a relaxed but thorough way to help build skills for the independent student. No previous knowledge is required and we we learn a broad range of musical skills from the more traditional music reading and comprehension to the more modern jazz piano and reading chord symbols. My focus will be creating sustainable learning by creating a personalized and enjoyable plan for each student. Classes are taught in English but also speak moderate Portuguese to help if needed.

Music is something I am passionate about! When I teach, I teach technique, theory, and how to read. Learning to read music is a big part of my lessons. We will work on learning songs as well as scales and theory. My lessons are very tailored to the goals of the individual! We could work on Beethoven one day and a Beatles song the next! It is based on the student's goals.

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.
