Personal Description:

I am a highly qualified piano/keyboard teacher, with more than 25 years experience of teaching students of all ages. I finished the Academy of Music (piano), and the four year piano teaching training course, organized by the British Suzuki Institute in London. I live in Peterborough and also teach Music Theory. I am a member of ISM ( The Independent Society of Musicians), EPTA and The Curious Piano Teachers (continuing professional development organisation).

Tutoring Experience:

I have taught at schools in St Albans, London and Enfield, as well as privately in London and in Peterborough, and successfully prepared students for grades (ABRSM, LCM, MTB and Trinity college), piano festivals and EPTA piano competitions. I also taught piano at the South View Primary School in Crowland, Lincolnshire until Covid 19.

I have been also teaching online since the start of the pandemic and it works very well for my students. I have a couple of slots available for new online pupils.

The first lesson of 30 mins is FREE.

I use Skype, FaceTime and Zoom, and it works very well. During their online lessons I also successfully prepare them for the graded exams. I organise my pupils' concerts each term on Zoom.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that anyone can learn to play a musical instrument. Having fun while doing it is a great motivation and I always try my best to adjust to each child's individual personality and the particular way they learn.

Even though I prepare students for taking the graded exams, my main goal is to help pupils develop love for playing piano and music in general. So if they want just to learn to play piano without taking exams I am happy just to teach them a repertoire and piano pieces they would like to play.

From Ioana (5/5): Great lessons. Looking forward in this collaboration

From Sarah (5/5):

From Ndidi (5/5): Danina is a fantastic piano teacher! We have been using for about a month now and she comes across as quite professional and experienced, very patient and interactive with the kids. Her method of teaching is very straightforward and easy to learn. She is very methodical in her approach, makes notes at the end of the lessons each week for what they should practice ahead and follows up with each lesson to see what they practised in between. It’s clear to see she has been doing this for quite a while and knows what she’s doing. The kids and I enjoy her lessons and look forward to them each week.

From Ali (5/5): Thoroughly recommend, experienced focused teacher, always punctual and my daughter is really reignited with the piano again

From Slavka (5/5): Danina is a very good tutor. My child and husband both enjoy their lessons and they are progressing well. We find it very convenient that Danina comes to our place as it saves us a lot of time.

From Anil (5/5): We decided to get a home tutor after our 11 year old daughter made little progress with the tutor she had at school. It was also clear that the teaching didnt inspire her and she felt it was more of a chore.
All that has changed after Danina took over. We are very pleased at the rapid progress my daughter is making with Danina. Danina is very dedicated and a thorough professional and she has clearly managed to spark my daughter's interest in music which is what we value more than anything else.
I would recommend Danina to anyone who is interested in learning the keyboard.

From Viji (5/5): We are happy to have Danina teaching our boys. Both my boys are happy and look forward to their lesson every time. We feel extremely satisfied with this website for their services. Thank you.
