More about Marilena

I’m a Leeds Conservatoire Graduate with a First-Class Degree in Popular Music – Voice Performance. Professional Singer, Musician, and Performer. My appearances include performing at the Royal Albert Hall, various Television broadcasts, 5-star luxury hotels & resorts, and high-end cocktail bars.

In addition to teaching and performing, I’m also an active songwriter. I recently signed an original track, three co-written tracks, and a piano composition with MediaTracks (a UK-based production music label & music publisher). The tracks are now featured in their catalogue, making them available for sync licensing by major media companies such as Universal Music Group (UMG), Warner Music Group, Sony Music, and Columbia Records. I’m also currently awaiting a placement decision on another song submitted to their team.

These make me an excellent option if you want professional feedback and like to work with industry professionals.

Musical Background

My relationship with music began at the age of 9, when I started piano lessons and soon joined my teacher’s children’s choir, quickly stepping into receiving solos. At 14, I began one-to-one vocal training, and within two years I achieved Trinity Grade 8 with Distinction, earning the Highest Mark of the Year nationally. In 2019, I completed ABRSM Grade 8 Piano, and in 2020, I was accepted with an unconditional offer to study Popular Music at the prestigious Leeds Conservatoire, where I graduated in 2024 with First-Class Honours.

About the lessons

My teaching technique and methodology are flexible and vary according to your learning style, aims, and goals. I have experience teaching a wide age range (6-70 years old), and I am adaptable and comfortable in teaching and tailoring lessons according to my students’ experience, needs, goals, and aims. My existing students particularly highlight my communication and ability to effectively transfer knowledge, whilst at the same time having engaging, fun, and enjoyable lessons with me.

Curriculum

I have been professionally coaching and teaching since 2023, working with over 300 students to develop their skills in singing, piano, music theory, and songwriting.

Until recently, I was part of a teaching team at a music school in the UK, delivering one-to-one lessons. However, earlier this year I decided to pursue this independently and build my very own music coaching business, offering a more personal and flexible approach.

My teaching style is modern and student-focused. That means I take the time to talk with you about the music you like, and we create lesson plans that are not only effective for your growth, but also enjoyable and inspiring, and make you actually want to continue.
