First steps?

If you're new to the piano, even without any prior music knowledge, you are warmly invited to my lessons. As a dedicated teacher, I strive to uncover the best learning approach for each student and adapt my methods to suit your individual style. Enjoy your progress while playing your favourite music!

How?

Step by step I will introduce all key aspects of piano playing: technique, reading sheet music and some music theory. With personalised exercises and easy classical and famous tunes, you'll develop a solid basis and let's be clear: Fun in music is paramount!

Effective Studying

With a busy schedule for work or school, you sometimes might have little time for the piano, right? I provide guidance on effective home practice to help you develop enjoyable study habits and reach your goals. Develop your technique in a short time to express your musicality.

Here's Why!

Whether you're interested in classical music or other styles, our lessons will encompass all essential elements of piano playing: technique, sheet music reading, music theory, interpretation, musical analysis, study methods, and repertoire selection. We’ll discuss your musical interests and goals, allowing you to choose pieces that resonate with you or explore new ones together.

Advanced, are you ready?

Are you ready for new repertoire and want to add more brilliance to your sound and more flexibility to your playing? Do you want to perfect your touch, timing, regularity, and rhythm? 

Classical

We will focus on your specific goals and classical repertoire. We typically delve into famous pieces by a.o. Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Debussy, Ginastera, Bach or Beethoven to enhance your technique and interpretive skills.

Tango

As a professional performer in tango music, I can also introduce you to this vibrant genre. What else?

Music Theory

It's common knowledge that understanding chords, harmony, counterpoint, and music theory helps improve your playing and adds depth and expressiveness to your interpretation. Even if you're preparing for university or conservatory studies, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My Studio

You are welcome at my comfortable studio in Blijdorp, Rotterdam. I also offer lessons at your home , if preferred.

About Me

I am an Argentinian and Italian pianist and teacher, and I started playing the piano at age six as a fun pastime, which blossomed into my lifelong passion and career. As a professional classical musician, I have expanded my repertoire to include Argentine tango and my own musical arrangements, enriching both my musical and pedagogical journey. 

Soloist

I perform actively as a soloist and in chamber ensembles. I hold a Master’s degree in Music Piano from CODARTS University of the Arts (Rotterdam), and my current projects include Opustango Quinteto and Fuego Sur.
