Looking for a piano teacher who truly moves you forward? A concert musician with two completed concert degrees, the Cembalo Magisterium, over 30 years of teaching experience, and students worldwide, live via Zoom, fully tailored to your level and your repertoire.
Why this piano teacher is different
Most piano teachers follow a fixed method book, regardless of whether you want to play classical, pop, jazz, or film music. This teaching goes the opposite way: your chosen repertoire determines the technique exercises. You learn posture, hand position, touch, chord theory, and interpretation exactly where your music needs them.
| Your goal | How lessons work |
|---|---|
| Absolute beginner | Posture, first chords, a first song within weeks |
| Returning player | Builds on earlier knowledge, without frustration |
| Advanced | Interpretation, voicing, demanding concert repertoire |
| Pop & jazz | Chords, lead sheets, improvisation, accompaniment |
| Classical | Articulation, tone colour, fidelity to the work |
E-E-A-T: Why you can trust this teacher
The difference between a trained concert musician and a marketplace teacher shows up mainly in the depth of training and the ability to tailor technique to your repertoire, rather than working through a generic standard curriculum.

How a lesson works
Live via Zoom, 1-on-1. You set up camera and instrument so your hand position is visible. The teacher corrects posture, fingers, and touch in real time, exactly what no app and no YouTube video can do. Between lessons you receive structured exercises that build on each other.
"At 62 I returned to the piano after thirty years away. After eight weeks I played my first Chopin prelude. Learning technique over Zoom worked better than I ever expected, the teacher sees every movement."
