Would you like to learn how to play piano from scratch, or you used to play and need to refresh this passion? Do you have a child who would like to play?

In my lessons you will learn how to read notes, music theory, how to improvise, and mainly, play interesting pieces :) I can offer an individual and friendly approach.

About Me
I am an enthusiastic person loving music and meeting new people. I´ve already had over 40 students - children or adults - and many of them feel like a family to me.

I have a methodology I use in my classes but I always try to find an approach suitable to the person.
Education
-Masaryk university in Brno, Czech Republic - Faculty of Arts, Slovak Language and Literature + Musicology
-Pedagogical training - educational psychology, social pedagogy
Experience / Qualifications
After a couple of years as a pianist in hotels and cafés in Canary Islands and in Prague I found out it makes me really happy also to teach others, and for the last four years it's been my main occupation.
I have a lot of experience with children (6y +), teenagers and adults of all age.

Some references from my previous students:

"Nikola has been teaching piano in our family for 4 years. I think kids enjoy playing because of their teacher. She is nice and completely reliable." Pavla B.

"Super teacher. She handles all my questions every lesson (there are a lot of them). She adapts to whatever nonsense I come up with. Whether it's improving musical hearing or improvisation. She manages to teach me to play from a technical point of view and also to have fun. I can only recommend:)" Václav P.

"Nikol is a nice, charismatic and motivating teacher. Lessons with her are relaxed and creative. I would never believe that after a year of learning, as a complete beginner, I would be able to play more advanced songs." Zuzana B.

I offer personalized lessons for children and adults. I'm open to your suggestions for pieces, your preferences, and the styles that suit you best! (Classical music, jazz, film music, pop, rock, etc.)
Convinced of the importance of theoretical foundations (particularly music theory and harmony), it is possible to integrate them into the courses so that students develop with solid foundations. This then allows us to understand music in its entirety, around a rich and varied repertoire.
Having also studied improvised music at the Paris Conservatory and being a musician in several groups, I would be happy to be able to share my experience around musical creation as well as in the development of improvisation.
Anyone interested in the instrument and who would like to develop their keyboard skills is welcome, regardless of age.
Looking forward to seeing you again and see you soon!


A little more about my background:

A graduate of the Paris Conservatory, I had the chance to work alongside many exciting pianists and teachers, such as Denis Pascal, Pascal Amoyel, Rena Shereshevskaya and in improvised music Paul Lay and Emil Spányi, who were able, throughout my career, to bring me into musical research and maintain this taste for the instrument.

Being attracted by musical creation, as well as composition, I was also able to study harmony, arrangement, music theory and composition at the Rueil-Malmaison conservatory in the Paris region.

Alongside my musical projects as a classical and jazz pianist and musical composition, I devote myself to my passion for educational transmission.
