Teaching Piano and Performing are two fundamental aspects of my life. On July 2016, after two wonderful years Masters in Piano Accompaniment, I graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in London with Distinction.

Alongside my studies and active Performance career, I built up an experience of 11 years in Piano teaching both privately and for Music School. In practical terms, my tasks are as follow:

• Preparing pupils (adults and children) for grade examination (ABRSM and Trinity – Guildhall);
• Teaching Music Theory;
• Preparing lessons and applying teaching methods to suit each pupil according to their age and needs;
• Providing a varied and enjoyable range of activities to improve pupils technical abilities and inspire them to enjoy practising between lessons.

Music can improve people life and I believe that learning a musical instrument can positively affect one’s life and becoming a better human being. I strongly believe that teaching Piano is not only a matter of achieving Grades but it is also a way to help my students to communicate their feelings and emotions through music. I must admit that I am learning a lot from my pupils and they constantly surprise me with their imagination.

My students say that I am passionate, fun patient, enthusiastic (sometimes a bit too much!) and organised Piano teacher.

I currently have only few slots left in the afternoon and I am willing to teach adults in the mornings. It is never too late to learn!!!
