World-class Piano and Composition Lessons (online and face to face)

From 111.5 C$ /h

I am a concert pianist, composer, and experienced (23 years of teaching) energetic and versatile piano and composition teacher.
I have specialized in developing dexterity and a great technique without causing hand tension, improving sight-reading and memorization with innovative methods. My primary target is to help you achieve your musical goal by developing an affinity for music, enhancing your creativity in piano or in composition, and finding your own voice on interpreting piano or writing for composition.

Lessons

I teach classical piano at all levels and ages, all ABRSM and Trinity grades, ARSM, DipABRSM, LRSM, FRSM, Undergraduate, and (Post)graduate Level, but also contemporary classical, minimal, pop, and rock piano styles at all levels.

I can also help you learn to play from the easiest to the most technically advanced pieces from pop and rock music and make your own piano covers.

I also teach classical composition, orchestral composition and orchestration, electronic orchestration, songwriting, and theory (all grades).

Global Online Teaching

I mainly give face-to-face lessons, but for the last 6 months, I have also been teaching students online from all over the world (Australia, China, France, Japan, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, West Africa, UK) via Skype and Zoom with great success.

All my students have 100% success in all ABRSM and Trinity grade exams and advanced diplomas. Many of them have won scholarships, bursaries, and tuition in prestigious schools and Universities and Conservatoires (the Royal Academy of Music, King's School in Canterbury, etc.), other awards in musical composition, won first and second places on established Festivals, were admitted to UK Universities.

Shohreh

I have taught Piano for over 30 years, love teaching, and aim to bring the joy of learning into my student's life, no matter their age or ability. I believe everyone can connect to music and benefit from learning an instrument.
In my teaching, I emphasise technical points, improvisation, theory, and listening to music from around the world.
Before committing to teach a new student, I would like a lesson to ensure we both can start our musical path.
