Welcome to
Hi there, My name is Natalia and I am a private piano teacher based in the Bristol area*. I teach children and adults of all abilities and am happy to spruce up and polish slightly rusty skills or reveal a hidden talent. My various skills and experience in music have allowed me to develop a successful method of teaching individuals across a wide spectrum of ages and temperaments.
I can cater to all requirements and offer training for up to level 5 examinations. Taster lessons are also available if you are looking for a simple introduction and not looking for any training leading to examinations. I am a musician with a certified diploma in music education and experience in different artistic fields. I teach piano and music theory in the Bristol area, in the comfort of your own home.
My experience as a musician is diverse and includes composing, performing, and improvising. This has given me an ability to aid the music learning process, making it enjoyable and engaging through a sensitive approach with an abundance of creativity. I truly believe that every student needs a unique approach and I never stop seeking new ways and ideas that work best for each individual.

Along with piano, I teach music theory using various methods, I mainly deploy a kinaesthetic approach, teaching through touch, sound, and movement, especially body language. Through the years, I have been observing that adding elements of body movement to my teaching, makes people understand, memorize and feel music easier and quicker.
I am a fan of using music games in my teaching based on rhythm and aural exercises, as well as piano improvisation. I focus on helping people find their confidence, passion, and joy from play. My method of teaching is based on using creativity and a unique approach to every single person. No matter your goal – if you’re looking to master a song or develop the level of your play, I am here to help you with finding your own way of improving and gaining your skills.
Lessons are pay-as-you-go, weekly, fortnightly or as suits you.
I welcome boht beginners and advanced players to take my lessons. My lessons are always enjoyable and fun for all when learning.
I welcome beginner students.
I started my journey with teaching as a teenager. I graduated from the State Music School in Poland with a Diploma in Music, specializing in piano, viola, and eurythmics. I have been trained to teach music in the methods of Emile Jacques-Dalcroze and Carl Orff, as well as the music learning theory of Edwin Gordon. From childhood on, I have been constantly involved in concerts, events, competitions, exhibitions, theatre, music, dance, and writing.
During my training at Music School, I performed at many concerts and won competitions with The Symphonic Orchestra in countries all around the world such as Saudi Arabia, the Czech Republic, and Cyprus.
I have accomplished a variety of music courses specialized in viola and eurythmics for children and recorded educational songs for youth. I am an active music composer for short movies, videos, and games, filmmaker, and screenwriter.
I also welcome more advanced players to learn with me.
Due to the variety of ages, levels, and goals I teach, I use different methods for each particular group of students: Children: I present the world of music from a beginner level, using methods I’ve created through years of teaching which simplify challenging terms and rules. It provides a stable base for experimentation, creativity, and improvisation, all of which make lessons exciting and awaited.
New materials and terms worked through the lesson are delivered to children through music games, making it easier to memorize and simply enjoy. Students: With intermediate and advanced students I focus more on the mental approach of learning piano. We strongly establish goals and approaches from the start, and I also help with improving technique, music interpretation, awareness of play, and music theory.
I work more on the psychology of your play to prepare you for meeting greater demands. Through doing so, you learn how to stay passionate about the piano and are ready for every challenge that the future beholds. Adults: I strongly believe everyone should experience both classical music, restrained by rules and patterns, and the creative freedom of music – endless and never fully explored. Once we’ve gone through this process, together we set a course for what you like the most and want to explore further in your piano journey. My method here is based on deep exploration and making sure students experience and become aware of all music prospects. I help you to set the direction you would like to go and start preparing you for this journey. Outside of these categories, I can assist in reestablishing a previous knowledge and love of piano, if you’re out of practice or your skills need polishing, I’m happy to assist a reintroduction and a revival of your passion.
