Piano is more than just playing notes, it’s about expression, discipline, and telling a story through music. As a pianist with experience winning Chopin piano competitions, earning regional awards, and performing in competitive showcases, I bring both high-level training and real performance insight into every lesson. Through more than 10 years of preparing for competitions and public performances, I have developed strong technical precision, musical interpretation skills, and a deep understanding of classical repertoire, especially Romantic composers like Chopin. I use this experience to guide students not only in mastering technique, but in developing artistry, confidence, and stage presence. My lessons are fully personalized. Whether you are a beginner building fundamentals or an advanced student preparing for competitions, auditions, or recitals, I tailor each session to your goals. We focus on technique, music reading, rhythm, interpretation, and expressive playing, while building strong practice habits that lead to consistent improvement. I provide structured guidance, constructive feedback, and a supportive environment that challenges students to grow while keeping their passion for music alive. My goal is to help each student unlock their full potential and perform with both confidence and musical depth.

My classes are held online around the world. I can teach in English, Spanish, Russian, Italian, French, German or Portuguese. I am a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory in Russia where I lived, studied music and arts and worked as a ballet teacher, languages and music teacher. I have professional equipment such as cameras in different positions and degrees since it is essential that the student has different optics of both the piano and my body posture. We start with music theory and practice at the same time choosing pieces of preference for the student. The real objective of the class goes beyond the music per se ... but rather a spiritual-intellectual integration which results in genius through music! Music is the hook to touch the soul. Russian piano education focuses on fewer, more challenging pieces. The music will be learnt from memory and much of the learning is done through teacher demonstration. - Solfeggio First of all, what is solfeggio? Also known as 'solfège', solfeggio (sometimes called sight-singing) is the ability to read and sing music at sight. You may have heard this phrase before: 'Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do'. This is a method used to help musicians sight-sing. The Russian piano teaching method is often complemented by the use of solfeggio, and it is commonplace that when Russian teachers do use it, they use the fixed do, meaning C is always do, regardless of the key. With the British piano teaching method, solfeggio is less commonly used, and when it is, moveable do (the tonic is do) is used. As you can probably decipher, this makes the Russian method of using solfeggio much more challenging. - Attitude Without wanting to cast a generalisation across Russia, their learning method has been known for strictness, discipline and controversy. It leaves many wondering: Is the Russian way of learning the piano more demanding? Frequently, Russian piano teachers I work with joke about the harshness of teachers in their youth. The method is trying to achieve excellence in piano playing, but encouragement and discipline are used to varying degrees.

I teach with the same passion with which I perform, focusing not only on the instrument but also on the relationship between the musician and the instrument. Lessons are personalized and adapted to each student’s goals, whether starting from scratch, improving technique, developing musicality, or working on creative processes. 🥁 Drums 🎸 Guitar ✍️ Music Composition Subjects can also be combined for a more integrated approach.

Harmony, melody, timbre, dynamics, articulations, rhythm: these are nearly all of the core musical components that you, as a student composer, will learn to master through study and practice. Studies include surveying masterwork scores, music theory, and music history. Practice includes writing chorales, form analysis, composition using contemporary techniques, and proper notation. Though this instruction is meant primarily for fairly seasoned musicians, beginners of all backgrounds are encouraged to join as well. If you're ready to enrich the music you compose, please request a time when we can meet. I look forward to helping you improve your talent!

The Guitar is a very versatile and practical musical instrument. By learning to play on the Guitar you can access all types of popular genres such as ballads, boleros, trova, rock, jazz, blues, pop, etc., and you can even access the world of Classical Guitar. In my courses we will address the correct and ergonomic technique to approach the instrument, as well as the musical repertoire that you like the most, and the musical theory and reading of scores (solfege) both necessary for an adequate and creative understanding of the learning process.

Emerging composer and full-time university student offering composition and performance tutoring, as well as music theory lessonsMethodology In composition lessons, I am very much about students finding their own voice and engaging with all types of music - not pigeonholing themselves into a certain practice. I methodically break down students work and give input on how to engage with certain musical language devices and theoretical boundaries; and also how to overcome these. Theory lessons are similar to a normal instrumental lesson, or like a school even. I teach students the theoretical knowledge through ear-training practices and written tasks - sometime compositional sometimes theoretical.

What do you love to listen to? How do you create music that expresses the music that has deeply influenced you? The "how do you create that" is where technique, or music theory, shapes what compels you. There are a variety of techniques because there are a variety of sound possibilities (jazz, rock, classical, etc.). "In order to create that" music in your head, the basics of music have to be learned: pitch and rhythmical relationships. The most basic examples of pitch relationships are melody and harmony. If my availability works, I will gladly take in anyone who desires to explore all the basics and beyond. I greatly hope that any student considering lessons will read all of the information provided about myself on Apprentus. I will not begin a lesson with any student who does not answer the first five questions. Now, I believe I've covered enough ground for potential students to understand what my lessons will be about. So for now... enjoy the sounds and Au revoir!

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you. We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire! (For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...) If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class. In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero. The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

Composing your own music has always been a very rewarding task. This has never been so true as the present day when you can hear what you compose instantly if you use computers to generate and play back your own music. However, to ensure that your music sounds really great (whether using computers, manuscript or actual instruments) there are many principles to be considered. I have had a great interest in composing for over 45 years. I have composed for various combinations of instruments and voices in a wide variety of styles. Having been a music teacher in a comprehensive school for over 30 years, I have had a lot of very relevant experience in teaching composition to a wide range of different ages and abilities. These opportunities have enabled me to tutor students in a diverse variety of genres. The class will be personalized to your particular standard and chosen style of composition. We would focus on generic building blocks such as structure and instrumentation as well as looking at how to develop ideas. Using a range of compositional devices will also be key to enhancing your compositions. I will tailor-make the class to suit you.
