About
I am a classical pianist and music educator with two Master’s degrees from the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre and international academic experience in Georgia, Estonia, and Italy. I have performed in concert halls, participated in international projects, and worked with students of different ages and levels.
My teaching approach is based on creating a supportive, structured, and inspiring learning environment where each student can develop at their own pace. I believe that learning piano should combine solid technical foundations with creativity, musical understanding, and enjoyment.
In my lessons, I focus on:
- developing healthy piano technique and posture;
- understanding musical structure and expression;
- building confidence and independence;
- improving sight-reading, rhythm, and musicality;
- adapting the learning process according to each student’s goals and interests.
I work with beginners who are discovering music for the first time, as well as more advanced students who want to improve their technique, prepare for exams, competitions, auditions, or simply deepen their understanding of classical music.
Having studied and worked in different countries, I enjoy working with students from diverse cultural backgrounds. My goal is to help every student discover their own musical voice while building strong and lasting skills at the piano.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is structured, supportive, and personalized. I believe every student learns differently, so I adapt my approach according to each student’s goals, age, experience, and personality.
I focus on building strong technical foundations while developing musical understanding, creativity, and confidence. My lessons combine practical piano skills with learning how to interpret music, express emotions, and enjoy the learning process.
For beginners, I create a comfortable and encouraging environment where students can build confidence step by step. For more advanced students, I focus on refining technique, musical expression, and preparation for performances, exams, or personal goals.
