Piano lessons and/or Music theory (for all levels - for all ages)

From 98 C$ /h

The structure and the material of the lesson are formulated based on every pupil and his/her preferences while at the same time it can also be configured according to established music and piano methods. I also love to encourage my pupils to share their passion about specific music styles or pieces with me, in order to include them in the teaching process, by arranging them based on their skills. Important section of the course is the improvisation which aims to the independence of the pupil from the music score, the mastering of technical difficulties but also to the development of pupil’s creative thinking.

Teaching preschool kids (4-6) is always a challenge but through my experience I have formulated a method in which the young pupils approach music with an enjoyful way. Through my guidance they become familiar with rhythm, ear training, singing, playing by heart short melodies with both hands, improvising, and at later stages they get introduced to music notation through games, drawing and other formats.

All piano lessons are taught on a classical piano at my home studio and may take place also at your location.

About Me

(english below)

Hallo! Mijn naam is Myrto en ik ben een pianist en componist uit Griekenland. Sinds 2018 woon ik in Den Haag.

In 2020 heb ik mijn master in muziekcompositie behaald aan het Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. Mijn muziek is uitgevoerd door ensembles, solisten en orkesten in Griekenland, Nederlands, Frankrijk, Spanje, Italië, België, en de Verenigde Staten.
Daarnaast heb ik deelgenomen aan een aantal multidisciplinaire projecten en samengewerkt met dansers, filmregisseurs, acteurs, schilders en anderen. Naast componeren ben ik ook actief als pianist en toetsenist en heb ik deelgenomen aan verschillende muziekprojecten in Griekenland en Nederland.

Lesgeven:
Ik ben ervan overtuigd dat muziek een expressieve taal is die iedereen zou moeten kunnen leren en gebruiken om te communiceren. Mijn doel als muziekdocent is om u dichter bij deze prachtige wereld te brengen. Ik heb zes jaar ervaring in het lesgeven aan leerlingen van verschillende leeftijden, met verschillende achtergronden, niveaus en stijlen.

Lessen:
De structuur en het materiaal van de les worden afgestemd op elke leerling en zijn/haar voorkeuren, maar kunnen ook worden geconfigureerd volgens gevestigde muziek- en pianomethoden. Ik moedig mijn leerlingen ook graag aan om hun passie voor specifieke muziekstijlen of stukken met mij te delen, zodat ik deze kan opnemen in het lesproces door ze aan te passen aan hun vaardigheden.

**Omdat ik het belang van optreden voor publiek onderken, organiseer ik twee keer per jaar (in december en in juni/juli) een studentenconcert, waar elke leerling de kans krijgt om live op te treden. Deelname wordt sterk aangemoedigd voor alle studenten, maar is niet verplicht.

Hello! My name is Myrto and I am a pianist and composer from Greece and since 2018 I am based in The Hague.

In 2020 I obtained a Masters degree in Music Composition at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague. My music has been performed by ensembles, soloists and orchestras in Greece, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium and the United States, while I have participated in a number of multidisciplinary projects and have collaborated with dancers, film directors, actors, painters and others. Besides composing, I am also active both as a pianist and keyboard player and I have been member of various music projects in Greece and the Netherlands.

Teaching:
I truly believe that music is an expressive language that everyone should have the access to learn and communicate through and my goal as a music teacher is to bring you closer to this magnificent world. I have a six years teaching experience with students of diverse age groups, with different backgrounds, levels and styles.

Lessons:
The structure and the material of the lesson are formulated based on every pupil and his/her preferences while at the same time it can also be configured according to established music and piano methods. I also love to encourage my pupils to share their passion about specific music styles or pieces with me, in order to include them in the teaching process, by arranging them based on their skills.

**In recognition of the importance of performing before an audience, I organize a student concert twice annually (in December and in June/July), at which each pupil is given the opportunity to perform live. Participation is strongly encouraged for all students, though it is not compulsory.

I specialize in teaching about Music and how to play the Guitar.
In class, I always make an effort to understand what are the goals and interests of all students, as well as their skills. This way we can address the issues at hand more effectively and make sure the student never loses his/her interest and focus in music and his/her instrument. I believe that an honest and friendly relationship between teacher and student is essential for this exchange of ideas to happen more clearly and fluently, so I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable enough to share their thoughts freely.
I offer good and personalized classes. This means that there will be special care with your interest in music and guitar, all basic skills will be worked upon and strengthened, all specific requests and ideas will be addressed, both improvisation and interpretation can be developed, and exploring potential, achieving goals and having fun are main priorities.
Come and enjoy learning more about Music and Guitar!

Hi there! My name is Norica. I am a pianist and a piano teacher from Tokyo.

Just quickly to the point: My approach is holistic and systematic. It uses lots of fun exercises and nice educational materials from Japan in addition to the Internationally recognized standard books. (Don't worry, you don't have to understand Japanese!) You learn not only how to play piano but also how music works- music theory.

I know what my students are good at and not so good at right off the bat. That's why I can tailor the lesson plans to their goals and needs.

Also, if you like to take an ABRSM exam, the syllables will be tailored accordingly. So what will be tested on the day of the exam is integrated into the lessons and my class/lesson offers all-round preparation for the exam. I have helped my students pass G1, 3, 5 and 6 with a good score.

Another important aspect of my lesson is to focus on improving cognitive skills - increasing memory, right-hand-left-hand-coordination, sustained attention, nonverbal communication, and a feeling of independence and freedom.

I do so with unique materials from Japan and fun training.

Currently students from 4 to 76 years old are taking my lessons. As an educator, I am committed to the process of learning while making lessons enjoyable and constructive.

Please drop me a line if you're interested. If you have any questions about the lesson, feel free to ask.

I will be happy to answer all your questions!

Thank you

"I am a pianist. I started playing the piano at the age of seven and I am passionate about music. I am fascinated by the world of pedagogy, understanding that teaching is helping to learn. I am committed to my work with dedication and enthusiasm, and I believe that motivation is the key to both teaching and learning. I want to educate in values and I am committed to the pursuit of educational quality, based on equity and excellence. I am flexible and adaptable to each person, and I like teamwork. I appreciate discipline, rigor in my work, effort, and resilience. My aim is to help students learn constructively and to help them become autonomous as soon as possible. The focus is always on the student."

I structure the classes into three blocks, which I consider essential:

-Technique: through exercises and studies we must develop technical ability.
- Works of all styles: we learn from the great artists of all periods.
-Introduction to jazz and modern music: we will create a routine to work on improvisation and develop creativity.

These are the paths I propose, but each student is free to develop what he/she wishes. I also complement the classes with musical language and harmony.

Every pianist should focus on being a complete and balanced musician. We must develop aural skills, sight-reading, mastery of musical language and harmony, composition, improvisation, creativity, a critical spirit, good taste in music, and above all, a passion for music.

Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate or an advanced player, I am here to guide you through your own musical journey and help you reach the level that you aim for. I am a classically trained guitarist with several years of experience and through professional guidance and lessons adapted to your own personality, we can discover your creative side.

My aim is to help students acquire a correct technique and deep understanding of music and expression, which will help them perform important pieces of the classical guitar repertoire, as well as songs and pieces of different genres.

About me:
I am Nikos and I am a classical guitarist with 15 years of experience. I started playing classical guitar at the age of 10 and from the age of 14, with the supervision of my teacher, I have been helping and guiding younger guitar students, giving me a hands-on experience in teaching from an early age. In 2019, I obtained my soloist diploma from the Hellenic Conservatory of Music and Arts, giving me the right to teach and since then I have been teaching privately. Currently, I am studying with professor Pavel Steidl, at the Royal Conservatoire of the Hague and I have been attending a Music Pedagogy course, as well as courses in Early Music.

Since 2014, I have been attending guitar festivals and academies, giving me the opportunity to learn from some of the most important classical guitarists of our era and also be awarded prizes in national and international competitions, such as the 1st prize in Palaio Faliro guitar festival in Athens in 2020 and the 3rd prize in the 1st International Nikita Koshkin competition in Russia in 2021. In 2024, I was honored to receive a scholarship given each year to two European guitarists, giving me the opportunity to attend the Volterra Project Summer Guitar Institute 2024 in Volterra, Italy.

Music Theory:
In 2020 and 2021, I graduated from the music theory departments of the Hellenic Conservatory with a degree in Music Harmony and a degree in Counterpoint.

Do you like classical music but feel a little intimidate by it? Or maybe you’ve been listening for a while but now you’d like to dig a little deeper in the music of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms?

During these listening sessions I will offer you some context about the piece, and some tools to listen to it more carefully, so you can learn and enjoy the music with a new perspective.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re just starting your journey or you already have musical training. You can propose the repertoire you would like to explore, or I can make a suggestion to start with.

I specialize in teaching piano and music when I was at conservatory where I studied for over 20 years. With 14 years of experience I found my own methods to make my students learn in a comfortable and creative environment. As a teacher who enjoys learning from student while teaching, I know how important this is to improve when growing up. As soon as my students feel safe and happy I let them putting their own ideas in their development. I have a lot of experience in teaching from a young age (4-5) to grown adults but I am very good with kids and I like working with younger ages a lot!

I have extensive experience working in a Conservatory, so I am experienced in the traditional teaching way but when giving private lessons I always adjust to the student's musical taste and needs. I would recommend 60 minute lessons, but can also offer 30 or 45 minute lessons, depending on the student's needs and desires. I teach all levels, from beginners to students who have played the piano before and are looking to improve their skills. In the lessons, when necessary, I also teach theory.
