From 101 C$ /h

I am a passionate music performer and educator, and a recent Master of Music graduate of Indiana University.
Piano lessons with me are flexible, fun and they focus on the music you love! Are you a beginner with no experience? I will give you all the tools you need to start your musical journey. Do you have a few years of experience playing the piano or other musical instruments? We will build on your knowledge and work together to reach your goals. I believe in the importance of having a foundation in classical technique, but we will also have fun learning songs and pieces that inspire you! Do you love pop, rock, jazz, musicals, famous movie songs, or classical pieces? Great, we can get right to work!

Beginners, intermediate, and advanced students are all welcome! In the lessons we will play the piano, get to know each other, talk about your interests, and discuss lesson goals and structure.

My teaching approach is interactive, using a combination of engaging activities, demonstrations, and games to help students apply the concepts taught. My teaching style is encouraging and patient, and I am committed to creating a positive and nurturing learning environment for my students. I believe that every student has the potential to learn to play the piano and I am committed to helping students strengthen their confidence and explore their creativity.

About Me

I am a very passionate performer and educator. I teach violin and piano in private and group settings, music theory and history, music appreciation, world music, and music performance.

I am from Romania and I grew up in a music-oriented family. I started studying music when I was 6 years old and I have been performing all around the world ever since. I have a Bachelor of Music degree from Lynn University, Florida, and a Master of Music in Violin Performance from Indiana University. I participated in many national and international competitions, including John Oliveira String Competition, Alhambra Concerto Competition, Remember Enescu International Competition, and The National Music Competition of Romania. I was a fellow in the DaCamera Young Artist Program in Houston for two years, where I participated in an exciting variety of performances, school visits, and workshops. I am a core member and substitute musician in different professional orchestras and ensembles, including Symphony of Southeast Texas, Wintergreen Festival Orchestra, Palm Beach Opera, and Atlantic Classical Orchestra.
As an educator, I have over six years of experience teaching all ages and skill levels. Prior to my current private studio, I was a faculty member at Campbell Learning Center, Spring School of Music, and a visiting violin instructor at Travis Elementary School in Houston. I held a private violin studio at Lynn Preparatory School of Music in Florida and I was a mentor at Plumosa School of the Arts and Nat King Cole SummerStrings Music Camp in Palm Beach Country. My students have participated in orchestra auditions, solo or orchestral competitions, and ABRSM exams in all grade levels, where they passed with the highest distinction.

My teaching philosophy is that every student has a unique way of learning; therefore, I choose teaching methods and lesson plans that are suitable for each student’s needs. All of my students play in recitals, they do better in school work since they started learning music and some of them are even planning on becoming professional musicians. Learning music is one of the most fulfilling and joyous activities, which fosters motor skills, cognitive development, and social skills. Creating a positive and nurturing environment for students can have a great impact on their professional and personal development. Learning music is much more than learning how to play notes on an instrument; it helps students understand and learn how to convey emotions through music, how to communicate using different expression methods, and ultimately how to be happy, compassionate people. Whether you are seeking to learn music for fun or professionally, I truly believe I can guide you or your learner in this journey.

On a personal note, I love reading, watching good movies, cooking, listening to good music of all styles, traveling to exciting places, and spending time with my family.

Hi! I have over 7 years of teaching experience from young kids to adults of all levels and I love it! My goal is for my students to find joy in playing an instrument and have fun during the lessons. I also aim to make every student come out of the lesson feeling motivated to carry on learning, and tailor the lessons to what they want to learn and how to achieve their goal.
I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

The rule is simple: don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself! Students are encouraged to try, fail, and overall be proactive in learning new information in bite-sized chunks: all of that in a warm and comforting environment.

Depending on the personal goal of the student, we will learn/refine/explore the following topics:
- Fundamental techniques of playing piano
- How to read and play chords
- How to play an improvised solo
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear
- Exploring piano-looking-like instruments such as electric keyboards and subtractive synthesizers

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

My piano lessons are structured, encouraging, and designed to make learning piano feel both achievable and fun. Students learn the fundamentals they need to become confident musicians, including music reading, proper technique, rhythm, and playing skills, while also getting to learn songs they actually enjoy.

I believe that learning music shouldn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating. I break down new concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps and adjust my teaching to each student’s age, experience level, learning style, and goals. Whether you’re completely new to piano or looking to build on skills you already have, we’ll work together to help you make steady progress. No prior experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for music!

I’m excited to help you begin (or continue) your musical journey!

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

It is especially important to me that the lessons are individually tailored to each student. I do not follow a rigid textbook, but instead choose pieces and exercises according to your musical interests, your current level, and your personal goals.

In lessons, we can work on topics including:

- Piano technique and tone production
- Music reading and sight-reading
- Musical expression and interpretation
- Music theory and harmonic understanding
- Preparation for performances, examinations, and entrance auditions

If you are a beginner, we will be building the fundamentals step by step. If you already play the piano, we can work specifically on technique, musical expression, and your current repertoire. If you are returning to the piano after several years, we can assess where you are and find the best way to continue developing your playing.

In the first lesson, we get to discuss your goals, and already work practically at the piano.

Lessons are available in German, English, or Russian.

I look forward to meeting you!
