Hello everyone!

I am a friendly and methodical teacher, with plenty of experience and patience. I teach piano, popular singing and music theory. I am happy to help with songwriting, improvisation, general musicianship skills.

I trained in London where I obtained a Master of Music in Piano Performance with Distinction from Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, as well as a Master of Music in Popular Music Performance in Voice with Distinction from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance. I completed my Bachelor of Music with First Class Honours at Goldsmiths, University of London. I am an avid learner, always reading and regularly attending masterclasses and professional development courses to broaden my knowledge base and elevate my teaching process. 

I believe that each person learns differently, thus I offer a bespoke service: each lesson is designed for each individual student, according to the student's needs and interests, using a variety of teaching strategies to enhance the learning experience. A solid foundation of technique, an organised methodical approach and a choice of music that caters to each student's interests, are some of the key elements I pursue as a teacher.   

During the Covid-19 pandemic, I transferred all lessons to online platforms and have invested considerably in ensuring a quality online learning experience for my students. It has been eye-opening how much we could achieve online, even to a sceptic like myself. The results speak for themselves and I now believe that a combination of online and in-person learning is the future. I now teach predominantly online - lessons in person are arranged by appointment. I am based in London SE1. 

If you are interested in studying with me, please don't hesitate to contact me. I would be happy to arrange a consultation session free of charge in order to discuss your aims and my approach.
