Passionate Piano Teacher, Master's in Music Education, Over 10 years of experience

Hey there!

I'm Lina I am an experienced Piano Teacher with great passion for music and education.

I hold Master's Degree in Music Education and Qualified Teacher Status.

I studied piano performance, piano improvisation, composition and music education.

I have over 10 years of experience as a piano and music teacher in different settings, international schools, public and private music schools, ballet schools, pre-schools, primary and secondary public schools and private tutoring.

I also taught band, improvisation, musical theater and choir. I worked in several different countries including Poland, United Kingdom, Caribbean Islands, Vietnam, Thailand and online, teaching students from around the world.

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.

I use a variety of methods, adjusting my approach for each student individually.

With my educational background in classical piano I teach solid playing technique based on Frederick Chopin's teaching method, as he was a passionate teacher himself that developed an array of tools for learners to play the piano in a relaxed, healthy and brilliant manner.

I also use a mix of Dalcroze, Orff and Kodaly experience-based music methods and jazz approach harmony and improvisation exercises, as well as a mixture of modern resources like Faber, Wunderkeys or McIntosh Johnson. This allows me to make sure each student is progressing towards their individual, specific goals effectively.

I strongly believe that learning musical language should be approached as learning any language - by practicing speaking it as soon and as much as possible. That's why, when you learn with me, we go straight to the piano playing from the first moment. Using small and consistent steps you will comfortably speak the language of music, in time being able to create longer and longer phrases and sentences and/or read the existing music in more and more efficient and fluent manner.

I also always encourage students to take on the adventure of improvised music playing. This tool, that I can introduce you to in a super straight forward and comprehendible way, is honestly a door to a fairy land of music.
