Teaching
Music has always been a precious gift in my life and one which I am privileged to be able to teach and share with children and adults alike. In an age where there is so little time and space to explore our creative and artistic side, I believe that music could play a more important role in everybody's life.
Whether you want to learn a new skill, or improve and advance an already discovered pianistic ability, I offer lessons personalized to meet your specific needs in a comfortable environment. Learning an instrument is especially beneficial to children as the brain is still growing and mastering new techniques. It also helps them to improve concentration, to learn to express themselves non-verbally, and to become comfortable and confident performing in public.
I do not believe in putting pressure on a student to achieve more than they themselves wish- rather, I encourage my students to explore their own expectations of themselves, and guide them to reach their full potential.
Often people suffer from anxiety and stress which present themselves as physical discomfort or pain. In such cases, I incorporate a relaxation/breathing technique into the lessons if required to ensure no increased tension.
I believe that the most beneficial thing that can be gained from having piano lessons is not high grades, but to discover a love and appreciation for music that can never be lost.
