Piano Lessons - All Levels - Classical,
From 86.54 C$ /h
Start the new course learning to play piano!
I am a professional classical pianist, accompanist, creator, and composer with a Bachelor's Degree from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam and a Master's Degree from the Royal Conservatorium in the Hague. For 7 years now, I have been teaching students of all levels between 5 and 60 years old.
Lessons are based on your level, interests, and goals. Together we can find out if you are keener on classical repertoire, or if you want to play your favorite pop music, some beautiful soundtrack from a movie you like or compose/improvise new pieces. With my experience in teaching diverse genres, I will help you explore the music that you like.
The central pillars I always work with are technique and creativity, which are much more connected than you would expect! While we advance, I also introduce the basics (or more deeply, if you are interested) of music theory to learn to communicate with each other in musical terms (chords, keys, score reading, etc.). And above all, the goal is to enjoy and have fun!

About Me
Teaching is fundamental to my professional career. I have given piano lessons for 5 years and I see it as the means to bring my experience with music directly to students. Therefore, my main goal as a teacher is to make this experience enjoyable, enriching and challenging.
My experience includes teaching mainly adults and children, but I have also taught teenagers. Due to this, I have confidence in my abilities to teach beginners, amateurs, and students who need support for music school. For children, I strongly believe that parents have to be present in the learning process in order to keep track of what is being worked during lessons. This means that I also inform them regularly about their child’s progress. I am patient and understanding and always want fluid communication between students and me.
I take influence from different methods and books for beginners (Bastien, Faber, Agay, Alfred, and Hal Leonard), and a broad source of repertoire for amateurs, from classical to contemporary or pop music. I also compose small pieces that can help the student to work on some technical or musical aspects. When required, I also take time and initiative outside of lessons to provide students with the support they need to achieve their musical goals. For example, I have made brief tutorial videos for students, which have been very helpful for practicing during the week.
Apart from teaching, I have a strong professional career as a performer. My repertoire consists of solo piano and chamber music, and I am also a capable accompanist, singer, and composer. In addition to that, I am currently exploring interdisciplinary performances. Together with my Quinteto del Diablo, an ensemble featuring Argentinian new-tango music and my own compositions, we have been presenting a collaboration with dancer Rosanna Her Steege in a performance called “The Devil on the Dance Floor”.
As I am a flexible musician, I am a flexible teacher, so do not hesitate to contact me for lessons for you or your child/ren.
