Maria Papadatou

Welcome to my online Piano Class.

I am Maria Papadatou, and I will happily help you achieve your musical goals, from zero to the top.

I love all student levels, but only towards the classical piano, of any eras’ works and composers – don’t be afraid, my lesson is human-friendly 😊

Everything goes step by step! Outside the lesson time, I send you short videos when needed, to support your practice through the week.As each student is different, I focus on each ones’ needs and I am always creative in helping you learn through the simplest ways – “if it’s easy, it’s correct”, that’s my motto!

My greatest happiness is to watch my students grow, overcome any limit and expand in full potential! As a result, many of my students have won top prizes at major international competitions, as the IBLA Grand Prize, the Spoleto International Piano Competition, the Bach au Jazz (Lilia Boyadjieva) International Piano Competition and many others. And also, at renown online competitions, as The Royal, the IYMC, the Forte Academy, and many-many others.
You can enjoy their music and see their progress in over 200 videos 👇

As a Certified teacher on the official RSL Awards Teacher Registry (MusicTeacher.com), I can now offer the RSL Classical Piano programme – a well-established international piano qualification, equivalent in level to ABRSM but with more flexibility.

So, in case you need a competition or exam preparation, here you are at the right place!I will help you discover the advanced piano technique, and the ways to achieve your best musical interpretation.
Also, I’ll help you understand and approach each composers’ unique style, and secure your concert / stage presence, with simple and effective solutions for memorisation and control.

I am a very proud piano teacher too, as, except all other distinctions, on Jan 11 2026 four young students of mine were awarded and invited to performed at the winners Gala at the Carnegie Hall in New York City! They also participated to the Juilliard School festival, with masterclass and lessons, a fabulous chance and experience that I wish all young pianists could have!I wish I can always bring such great opportunities and successes to all of my “piano kids”!
