Introduction
I’ve added a few more available slots on my lesson calendar, but they are not completely fixed since I sometimes have concerts or rehearsals in the evenings, or I need to reserve time for my own practice. It would be wonderful if someone could take mornings hours slot on a regular weekly basis.Semi-professionals or serious amateurs are very welcome.
First of all, I’m glad you found my information here.
However, I must say that I’m often disappointed to see many unqualified amateurs presenting themselves as professional pianists or teachers.
Because private teaching doesn’t require certification, anyone can advertise themselves as a “piano teacher.”
For beginners, it can be difficult to tell the difference — and that can be risky for motivated students.
I’ve had several students come to me after taking lessons from such “fake teachers,” and unfortunately, I often had to rebuild their technique from the very beginning.
I can relate to this personally.
I also struggled for years because my first piano teacher was not able to guide me properly.
Only several years later, I was lucky enough to study with teachers who had real experience as concert pianists.
Since then, I’ve spent more than ten years retraining myself, rebuilding my technique, and undoing bad habits.
It took an enormous amount of effort, but it was worth it.
Now I truly understand what went wrong, and you can see some of the results in my videos here.
Through this process, I became very aware of how to use my body efficiently and naturally at the piano, and I’ve gained much more flexibility and control.
I would be happy to share what I have learned with you.
Piano lessons
Lesson Programs by Age and Level
Early Childhood Class (Ages 4–7) – 45 minMusic begins with feeling.
Through movement and singing with solfège (do–re–mi), children naturally learn rhythm, pulse, and the basics of reading notes.
What they sing and feel with their bodies is then explored on the keyboard, connecting listening, singing, and playing into one organic experience.
Example materials:
- Burnam’s Piano Technic (Introductory level)
- Easy pieces from Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach
- Selections from Leopold Mozart’s Notebook for Nanner
- Methode rose
Children’s Class (Ages 7–12) – 60 min
Building upon the foundation of sound and technique acquired in early childhood, students develop a deeper understanding of music as a language.
They explore the essential elements—pulse, rhythm, scales, and harmony—through a variety of styles from different historical periods.
The aim is to nurture not only technical ability but also imagination, sensitivity, and self-expression.
Example materials:
- French Baroque works by Couperin and Rameau
- Czerny Op. 139 (100 Progressive Studies)
- Bach: Two-Part Inventions
- Schumann: Album for the Young
- Bartók: Mikrokosmos
- Contemporary works for children by Japanese and French composers
Advanced Children’s Class (Ages 12 and up) – 60 min
At this stage, students work toward independent musicianship and expressive depth.
They learn to read and analyze scores more deeply, understand form and style, and shape sound consciously.
Both technical development and artistic expression are emphasized.
For those preparing for competitions or entrance exams to music schools, individual programs are designed accordingly.
Example materials:
- Czerny Op. 299, Op. 740; Cramer–Bülow; Hanon,Moszkowski, Brahms and so on
- Bach: Sinfonias, The Well-Tempered Clavier
- Sonatas by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven
- Major works by Schubert, Chopin, Debussy, Ravel
- Piano works of the 20th–21st centuries (including Japanese and French composers)
Adult Class (All Levels) – 60–90 min
Lessons are tailored to each individual’s level and goals—from learning to read music to refining performance at a semi-professional level.
Whether you are a beginner, returning to the piano after a break, or seeking to deepen your artistry, the lessons are designed to meet you where you are.
Together we explore repertoire that enriches both technique and musical understanding.
For: Beginners and returning pianists, Adults studying piano for personal enrichment, Those wishing to study theory, solfège, or analysis alongside performance, Pianists preparing for chamber music, accompaniment, or concert performance
Professional / Competition Class – 90 min
Aimed at students preparing for entrance to conservatories, competitions, and professional performance careers.
The focus is not only on technical mastery but also on analysis, stylistic understanding, and the exploration of tone color.
Students interested in historical performance practice or fortepiano can receive specialized instruction.
Main areas of study:
- Systematic technical training (scales, arpeggios, etudes)
- Analysis and stylistic study of works from all periods
- In-depth interpretation of sonatas, concertos, and contemporary pieces
- Program planning and stage preparation for concerts and competitions
- Integrated study of theory, aural skills, and music history

Piano and fortepiano
After spending 3 years in Switzerland, I relocated myself to The Hague. I studied fortepiano in master of early music in Royal Conservatoire and I worked as a teacher there later.
Apart from giving concerts and teaching, I have worked as an ensemble pianist with Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Residentie Orkest, Noord Nederland Orkest, New European Ensemble.
I'd prefer to teach how to read notes first with understanding music.
I hope my students would get passionate and spontaneous to make them understand what I give. Doesn’t matter with ages, levels. I have been teaching from 6 years old kid to advanced students who are going to competitions (national, international) and adults for their hobby.
Pianoles
I always start reading notes and rhythm properly
depends of each level of you guys and I'm always flexible with students's needs but the most important thing is keep practicing everyday even for five minutes!
Please describe about yourself and your relationship with piano or musical experiences when you write me first time. I need to know what you expect with me then I can make trial lesson. I do not prefer to be booked without having it.
Let op!
the availabilities do NOT always stay as they are on the calendar. You need to ask me before bookings.
