About Me

I am a composer, pianist, and music educator with a strong passion for music and helping students develop their musical abilities. I hold ABRSM Grade 8 qualifications in Piano and Music Theory from the Malta School of Music and have three years of experience teaching piano and music theory through individual online lessons.

Alongside teaching, I study Music Composition for Film, TV, and Games through Berklee Online. My experience as a composer and performer allows me to bring both a classical foundation and a creative approach to music education.

I have performed in various musical settings, including opening concerts by Russell Crowe, performing alongside Laura Marzadori at the Manoel Theatre, and placing 3rd overall with my original music compositions at Malta's Got Talent.

As a teacher, I believe that every student learns differently. My aim is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment in which students can build confidence, develop strong musical foundations, and discover their own musical interests. Whether you are a complete beginner or looking to develop more advanced skills, I tailor my lessons to your individual needs and goals.

Lessons in piano or harpsichord, with program and repertoire, adapted to the goals and speed of each student, whether young, not so young, or adult, for a general introduction to these instruments, for preparation for high music education, as a supplementary aid for exams in music academies, or for a hobby, or for amateur group music-making, or for developing qualities as concentration, discipline, expressibility, awareness of styles and music history.
In my teaching, I rely mostly on old traditional methods, books, and repertoire, which have proved their efficiency over the time. I also make use of the teaching tradition of partimenti of the old Neapolitan conservatories - exercises for composing that can be applied from early stage. This not only adds a creative element soon after very beginning, but also teaches via practice the basics of harmony and polyphony.
Lessons can be combined (+30min.) with theory/solfege (ear training), if the student wishes.
English, Nederlands, française, Deutsch.
I have been teaching for about 20 years, privately, in Brussels, and in New York in the past, more than 100 students.
I am a graduate of Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel, in baroque cello and harpsichord, but I play also modern cello, organ, and piano.

This applied music theory course is for any passionate musician, regardless of level.

It aims to broaden his musical knowledge and abilities by understanding music as a whole. The goal is to be able to decode and understand how a music (not only of classical style, but also pop, jazz, rock, electro, ...) was composed, and to be able to use interesting harmonies oneself. and solid in a personal composition / production.

It is made up of two main topics:

* Harmony (building chords, understanding chord diagrams, learning to Harmonize a given melody, the possibility or not of using these Harmonies in a given style, etc.).
But also understand the key, how to build a scale, how to navigate between different keys, how to transform a classic chord suite into another style?
Harmony is a course open to all and all levels, no prerequisites to have. Any passionate musician will find interest in it, that's guaranteed.

* Writing is a much more targeted course, which is already an introduction to classical composition. In this branch, we will develop the rules of classical writing (parallel fifths and octaves, false relations etc, ...) within the framework of an exercise based on a given melody or bass (in the first case it will be necessary to invent harmonization and compose a bass, in the second, it will be necessary to invent the harmonization and the melody).

This course can also be used by academy or conservatory students who wish to prepare for the writing exam, or simply to deepen their knowledge.

Natalia

I am Natalia, a pianist, composer, and music teacher. Music plays a central role in my life and forms the basis of everything I do: playing, creating, and teaching.

At the piano, I constantly discover and develop new musical ideas. Composing music is a natural way for me to express feelings, atmosphere, and stories. Sometimes a composition originates from a small motif or a simple melody that slowly develops into a complete piece of music. My inspiration comes from various sources: life, emotions, nature, films, stories, and moments of silence in which music can arise spontaneously.

My music moves between various styles, with a strong emphasis on melody, atmosphere, and emotion. The foundation often lies in the piano sound, but the musical language I use can contain classical influences as well as modern, cinematic, or popular elements. I love music that evokes images and tells a story, as if the listener can feel a scene or a world simply by listening.

In addition to composing, I also share my musical experience as a music teacher. In my piano lessons, I want to teach students not only how to play notes, but also how to understand, interpret, and experience music. For me, learning music is a process in which technique, listening, creativity, and expression come together. Therefore, in my lessons, I pay attention to musicality, interpretation, and developing a personal musical voice.

My experience as a composer also influences my teaching style. I help students not only to perform music, but also to understand how music is structured and how a melody, harmony, or rhythm is created. In this way, they not only learn to play the piano but also develop deeper musical insight and creativity.

To me, music is a living art form that is constantly growing. As a pianist, composer, and teacher, I want to continue creating, sharing, and passing on music to

I write and play music for a variety of projects where powerful and meaningful music is needed. For example:

• films and short films
• television programs and documentaries
• theatre and stage productions
• commercials and advertising campaigns
• original songs and musical projects
• live piano music for events and special occasions

As mentioned earlier, in addition to composing and performing, I also share my passion for music with others through piano lessons. In my lessons, I guide students—from beginners to advanced—not only to learn to play the piano, but also to truly understand, feel, and create music.

For me, music is more than sounds – it is a way to tell stories, share emotions, and connect people.

Welcome to my musical world.

My method is based on serious and rigorous practice (while taking into account the student's ambitions) as well as learning most often by ear. This is indeed how music can be truly integrated over the long term.
I would be delighted to work with serious and determined students.

My course is based first on you.
I like developing with you a program adapted to your features, your difficulties as well as your goal.
It is aimed at everyone, children and adults, complete beginners and more experienced musicians looking for advice, a method to keep developing I've been approaching and searching.

Autonomy, creativity, curiosity and listening are the main 4 words for me!

I can teach you drums in many styles (rock, funk, jazz, shuffle, pop, linear, world music, songs on demand) and in its many forms AND of course music theory, which can be integrated into the course if necessary, but also be the subject of a private lesson for students who wish support for their courses in an academy or at the Conservatory. This will help you to read music scores and nail sight reading over time!

Hi! I'm Lara, and I've been happily tutoring and supporting music theory, solfeggio and harmony for a number of years. Are you struggling with this and are you looking for help? Then you've come to the right place!
I am a conservatory student and would like to help others who have difficulty with music theory!
I am a clarinetist, so if guidance is needed for the clarinet, this is also possible!
Some knowledge is nice, but starting from 0 is no problem for me!

Have you ever listened to a piece of music and wanted to understand more about it?

I’m offering personalized music lessons, where YOU decide what to explore! Whether you're curious about harmony, rhythm, musical styles from around the world, or any other concept, I will tailor each lesson to your interests. And if there’s a topic I’m not familiar with yet, I’ll take the time to learn and prepare the lesson just for you.

Or, if you prefer, embark on a guided introduction to music, exploring essential concepts through carefully selected listening examples from across the globe.

Posture and comfort with the instrument are the foundation for playing the guitar. I often make the connection with other musical instruments such as percussion, wind instruments and singing.

Separating and understanding the roles of the two hands is another important step in the course. One hand plays the rhythm and the other plays the notes on the fretboard. There are many exercises to develop the knowledge and skills of both hands.

Gustavo

Music is a powerful way to express yourself. Playing an instrument can be a very intimate experience — a moment to give yourself some time, put your frustrations aside, and simply enjoy making music. But it can also be a fun hobby to share with the people you love: playing for them, singing and dancing together, or simply listening and enjoying the music.

I want to share this gift with my students.

In my lessons, I believe it is important to have goals and, at the same time, to enjoy the journey. I want my students to play music that inspires them and pieces that they genuinely enjoy. Whether you are starting from the beginning, returning to the piano, or looking to develop your playing further, we will work together to find the right balance between learning, improving, and having fun.

For me, playing the piano is not only about learning the right notes. It is about discovering your own voice through music.
