I am a pianist and lyrical soprano. I have a pedagogical Master Degree in Singing and now I am studying Master Performance at the ZHdK, Zürich.
I offer vocal technique and repertoire lessons for any style of music.
Regardless of the style, singing is about correct breathing, a relaxed body and lots of expression!
I have experience in other fields, such as jazz and musical, and I have already been teaching for a couple of years.
Teenagers and adults are wellcome.

Don't hesitate asking! :)

More about my classes

My guitar teaching model is based on books and the approach of guitarist and pedagogue Abel Carlevaro.
In some way, it is about understanding and analyzing the nature of the movements we make to play the guitar in the simplest way possible.
Just as to build a building you need a good foundation, to build a system of skills that allows us to be musicians, we need to know and practice in a conscious way all the movements we do. These movements are what we do when we play just one open string or what we need to do to play the most difficult piece of the repertoire.

I pay special attention to achieve a good balance in teaching. I try to make the student develop at the same time the techniques to play the guitar and the artistic sensibility needed to make music. Because no matter the technical level of the student, my classes will always be oriented to making music and to be able to enjoy the processes that the musical activity involves. A simple guitar piece takes on another dimension if the basic principles of musical interpretation are applied.

After getting to know and listening to how my students play I propose a short and medium term work plan. This plan is presented taking into account the objectives and wishes of each student. Exercises and pieces are included that will also allow to know the repertoire of the guitar. Therefore, each work plan includes specific and general contents.

Would you like to learn how to play piano? Or have you already started, but don't know how to proceed? You are in a good place! I am a passionate piano teacher and my goal is to prove that everybody can play and enjoy making music.

Main factors of my lessons are: individual approach, inspiring and positive atmosphere and full involvement in the process of development of my student. I believe the key to success is not “talent”, it’s rather the inspiring
influence of the teacher and his/her positive approach that allows the student to make mistakes and turn them into opportunities. Teaching piano is very special and important to me, because it allows me to share my biggest passion and the experience that I gained through many years of my education.

I started playing piano in the age of 6. I graduated from Fryderyk Chopin University of Music in Warsaw (Poland) and also studied in Frost School of Music in Miami. I have been teaching in a music school as well as privately. Currently I teach in the International Swiss School in Wollishofen and Lakeside School Horgen.

The program will be tailored according to the student goals. (leisure, professional development) focusing on; basic knowledge of the guitar, basic chords and more advanced chords, scales and modes, theory and practice of improvisation, study of a repertoire, right hand technique (fingers or pick), music theory and rhythm, Logic Pro X, basic sound engineering and music production techniques and songwriting skills.

An understanding of what are the goals and interests of student, as well as their skills is the most effective way to pass on knowledge.

Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses.

Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels).

My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing.

Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique.

The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible.

I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar.

Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality.

References on request

Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons.

Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

I have 10 years of experience in being a music instructor. That's not only piano lessons, it's also a theory of music, history of music, and vocal and orchestral projects.

I've worked with students from all around the world - most of them attended the American School of Warsaw and the British School of Warsaw. The idea is not only to teach how to play the right notes and to know the main composers, but I also want my students to feel the music, to be able to find out what the idea of an art piece is. It is also very important for me to encourage a child to find his own style of playing. From my point of view, there are no people deaf to music, just people who aren’t acquainted with music, till now!

It is well known that music classes are not only pleasant but as well music classes are very helpful and important in a child’s education and development. Kids who play instruments learn languages faster and more productively, focus better, and it has been shown to perform better in math and science. My own experience and that of my students show me that music has a positive effect on a student's overall education results.

Moreover, music is not just an art, it is the language of the soul, waiting to speak for your child's feelings and moods.

I am eager to work with you and share my biggest passion with you, and hopefully reveal new and interesting aspects of music for your own practice.

After many years of studying in ZHdK, and having students of all levels attending the entrance exams in Zürich, Luzern, and Basel, I am looking forward to prepare you to your upcoming exam or without regards to it.

Topics will include different aspects of music theory: analysis, ear training, sight reading, rhythm, score-reading, music history, etc.
