Personal Description:

Sotiria was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. She started piano lessons at the age of 5 with Vicky Kanaki at the "En Techni" Conservatory of Thessaloniki. In 2012, she got accepted at the University of Macedonia in the Music Science and Art department. There, she studied with Eugene Politis and Maria- Emma Meligkopoulou, and graduated, with a major in European Music, a specialization in Applied Music Studies and field of study Choir and Chamber Music, at 2017 (honours degree). In the meantime, she enrolled in Rontidis Drama School for Acting and Theatre Studies. During her studies at the University of Macedonia Sotiria, has given several concerts both as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles. In September 2020 she finished her Masters in Acting at the University of East London.

Tutoring Approach:

Using different and various ways to approach the unique personality and needs of each student is a basic principle of my tutoring scheme. I respect this uniqueness of each student and I always ask for feedback so I can adjust better my lesson plan according to each individual. In that way, the repertoire I use for teaching, reflects the needs (both technical and musical) of the student and at the same time focuses on their personal interests( jazz, rock, musical, pop etc.), keeping in that way their music interest active. At last, my tutoring approach includes improvisation, singing and sight reading, elements that improve the musical awareness, stimulate and entertain the student at the same time.
