Piano Classes

Professional Pianist, Opera Singer, composer and soloist at Madrid ́s Opera House, Innsbruck and Glyndebourne festivals and at the National Music Auditorium of Moscow, winner of many international competitions and a qualified teacher at Kiev and Valencia High Conservatories (Bachelor and Masters Degrees) offers piano, singing and Sol-Fa lessons for all styles, levels and ages!

My piano classes are structured so that students work on the most important aspects of training as a pianist and are tailored to the needs of the student. I give great importance to developing self motivation in a relaxed environment that encourages creative flow throughout the learning process. Repertoire is agreed with the student and adapted to the style of music preferred, together with student needs and objectives. Learn how to play the piano effortlessly and to express what you have inside!

I aim to cater to the tastes and needs of students in an open and individual way and have a Yamaha grand piano that students can enjoy playing on when face to face classes are again possible.


The principles of piano technique I teach are:
- Simplicity and naturalness of playing
- Discover your own style – you don ́t need to imitate!
- Posture, relaxation and stretching
- Improvisation – confidence to experiment
- Aural training
- Confidence building
- Developing your own repertoire

If you want to prepare for entrance exams for conservatories or professional music academies, for competitions, castings or auditions I can help! If you just want to have fun and experiment, I can help with that too!

I teach in Spanish, English, Italian, Ukrainian and Russian.

Asa professional singer, trained at Valencia’s Advanced Conservatory, I can also teach singing and vocal repertoire classes (one to one and tailored to student needs), please see my profile for further details.


I look forward to hearing from you
Konstantin

🎤 Singing Lessons Online in Valencia and Asturias — Discover Your Voice and Express Your Potential

Would you like to learn how to sing, improve your vocal technique, gain confidence or prepare for a professional audition? I offer individual online singing lessons, fully adapted to your level, needs and goals.

I am Konstantin Derri, a professional opera singer, countertenor, pianist and singing teacher with more than 23 years of teaching experience.

I have developed an international career as a solo singer, performing at major theatres and festivals throughout Europe, including the Teatro Real and Teatros del Canal in Madrid, Glyndebourne Festival Opera, Innsbruck Festival of Early Music, Teatro Comunale di Bologna and Theater an der Wien, as well as major concert halls in Madrid, Moscow and other European cities.

I am the winner of the 2nd Prize at the International Pietro Antonio Cesti Competition for Baroque Opera in Innsbruck, as well as other international singing competitions.

My education includes advanced studies at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Valencia, where I studied with Professor Ana Luisa Chova, as well as studies at the Tchaikovsky National Academy of Music in Kyiv. I have continued my professional development through masterclasses with renowned specialists in vocal technique and Early Music, including Richard Levitt of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis.

🎶 What do we work on?

My lessons cover all the essential aspects of healthy and complete vocal training:

* Breathing and vocal support
* Body relaxation and release of tension
* Vocal technique and vocalisation
* Posture and body awareness
* Pitch and musical ear
* Repertoire
* Interpretation and expression
* Confidence and freedom in singing
* Stage presence
* Developing a natural and healthy voice

My approach is simple: never force the voice, sing naturally and discover your own voice, rather than trying to imitate another singer.

Every voice is unique. My aim is to help you understand your instrument, develop its potential and express yourself freely.

🎭 Interpretation and Stage Presence

For more than 22 years I have worked professionally with stage directors, conductors and artists from different countries, gaining extensive experience in interpretation and stage communication.

I can help you not only to sing well, but also to communicate emotions, connect with an audience and feel confident on stage.

🧠 Coaching, Communication & Confidence

In recent years I have also trained in coaching and personal development techniques focused on communication and confidence.

I work with people who experience nervousness, insecurity or fear when speaking in front of others. Therefore, my work is not limited to singers.

I can also help you prepare for presentations, conferences, interviews, talks, speeches and other forms of public speaking.

We work on voice, breathing, presence, confidence and natural communication.

🗣️ Vocal Health

I also use vocal therapy and vocal education techniques focused on healthy voice use, reducing unnecessary tension, managing stress and developing a freer and more natural vocal production.

🎓 Professional Preparation

I can help you prepare for:

* Auditions and castings
* Singing competitions
* Conservatory entrance exams
* Professional music academies
* Opera repertoire
* Concerts
* Character and role preparation
* Stage performance
* Public presentations and speaking

As a professional pianist, I can also accompany you during the lessons and work on vocal repertoire with you.

Lessons are 100% online, individual and personalised.

Lessons available in Spanish, English, Italian, German and Russian.

Whether you want to develop a professional career or simply enjoy singing, the lessons will be adapted to your voice, your needs and your personal goals.

🎤 Discover your voice and express your potential.

Andrea
My name is Andrea and I offer piano lessons in Valencia. Lessons can be in Spanish, Valencian, and English! I teach in English too!

Graduate in Art History and professional piano degree completed at a conservatory. Master's degree in secondary education teaching specializing in music.

My classes are designed for different profiles, as I have more than 10 years of experience with diverse students: children from 5 years old, adults at beginner and intermediate-advanced levels, conservatory reinforcement, entrance exams, ABRSM system, Suzuki method knowledge...

My experience includes both private lessons and instruction in music schools and institutes, in Valencia and the UK. Regarding methodology, I strive to adapt to each student's needs. With children, I incorporate games into the introduction to piano and music theory to make it more engaging and enjoyable. For adults, I always communicate with the student to tailor the lessons to their individual needs and goals. When preparing for conservatory entrance exams or for conservatory preparation, we focus heavily on the pieces themselves, their context, and the specific areas that pose the greatest challenge for the student in their exam or rehearsals, always maintaining a holistic approach.

I like to create a pleasant and comfortable environment for my students, so they can express themselves and learn in peace. I continue to train and learn to always guarantee quality in my classes. I consider myself a patient person with a sense of humor and a strong desire to teach and help. If you're interested, get in touch! :)

FOR STUDENTS WHO PREFER ENGLISH: Hello! My name is Andrea and I offer piano and music lessons for children, beginners and intermediate or advanced students in Valencia. I studied Art History and classical piano at the conservatoire, but we can also approach the instrument from different angles, practicing other musical styles or accompaniment patterns.
I can also help you with ABRSM piano exams and prepare you for entrance exams to conservatoires in Spain. With children, I try to teach using a playful approach, incorporating games, songs and fun. I love teaching and I believe that music is a way of expressing ourselves and also of getting to know ourselves better. There are many ways to learn music and I believe we should adapt to our students' needs and learn from them. Send me a message and we can discuss it further!
