I was originally meant to study chemistry, not music. However, when I was 16, I stumbled upon a classical music DVD. The first track was Beethoven's Appassionata Sonata, and I instantly fell in love with classical music. Soon after, I began teaching myself piano and music theory. This newfound passion led me to pursue a career in classical music. I obtained my BA in classical music (piano performance) from Conservatorium Maastricht, with a specialised teaching certificate. I have experience in teaching piano, improvisation, and music theory to all levels and age groups.As a teacher, my primary goal now is to share the joy and beauty of classical music with others.

As a piano teacher, I begin with the fundamentals of music, gradually transitioning to piano technique. Throughout our lessons, I'll introduce relevant music theory concepts for a deeper understanding. While our primary focus is the classical repertoire, I'm open to exploring other musical styles based on your interests.

Develop a solid understanding of music through clear and practical whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for conservatory entrance exams, or looking to strengthen your musicianship, these lessons provide the theoretical foundation needed to become a more confident musician.

Topics can include:

• Reading music (staff notation, rhythm, and clefs)
• Intervals, scales, and key signatures
• Chords and harmonic functions
• Voice leading and four-part harmony
• Counterpoint
• Form and musical analysis
• Ear training and dictation
• Sight singing
• Rhythm training
• Music history and stylistic understanding
• Preparation for music theory examinations and conservatory auditions

The lessons emphasize understanding rather than memorization. Concepts are explained through musical examples and applied directly to the repertoire you play or compose, making theory practical and relevant.

Lessons are suitable for pianists, instrumentalists, singers, composers, producers, and anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of music. Each lesson is adapted to the student's level, pace, and musical interests.
