Tutoring Approach:

I would like to help you to be able to create your piano sound with lots of colours, explore the music and to express your own feelings on the keyboard. I am sure that it will be possible even for the very beginners with simple melodies.

I also help you to build up good techniques so that your hands will not suffer from pain or boring finger exercises!
I suggest various tips for practicing efficiently and exercises to develop your musical awareness and how to analyse each composer’s music along with effective ways of using your bodies, arms.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding my piano lessons.
