I am an experienced Piano, Accordion, Music Theory, Ear Training and Solfege teacher with great passion for music and education. I hold a Master's Degree in Music Education and a Qualified Teacher Status in England and Wales. I use a variety of methods, adjusting my approach for each student individually. I believe that each student requires a different and individual approach, especially learning
such a creative subject as music! I always listen to what you need and where you're headed and I support you in the best and most effective way I know to get there and achieve your goals, while watering your artistic growth. My whole background supports this belief and gave me tools to professionally support your creative developement. I studied piano, piano improvisation, composition and music theory in the method of Emile Jaques Dalcroze, which is a very empowering, experience based approach to teaching music and musical instruments. It stems from the believe that we learn better when we can relate to the subject and when we feel and try the concept before understanding it. My experience gave me a great idea of different kinds of students and needs and taught me how to be flexible and find creative learning solutions for my students. I have over 10 years of experience as a piano and music teacher in different settings, including public and private music schools, ballet schools, pre-schools, primary and secondary public schools and private tutoring. I also taught band, improvisation and musical theater after school classes. I worked in several different countries including Poland, United Kingdom, Caribbean Islands and Vietnam and Thailand as well as online. Finally as music is my true passion, I am an active performer playing piano and accordion, and singing; performing solo, in duets and in bands. I constantly continue to develop my knowledge and teaching skills by attending masterclasses and courses, for example F. Chopin's methodology and technique, jazz pedagogy, improvisation in all styles but also behavioral management or teaching neurodiverse students, including students on the autistic spectrum.
