You are unique! And so are your musical goals and needs.

In the studio of VA-Pianoclass, we will create an individual lesson program that ensures maximum results at a pace that works for you

Here you will:

  • Receive custom-designed lessons

  • Focus on YOUR goals

  • Develop lifetime skills

  • Discover your inner musician

  • Thrive in an encouraging environment

If you are a beginner, you will establish a solid foundation, play with a strong sense of rhythm from day one, and learn how to practice effectively.

If you are an i
ntermediate or advanced student, you will gain the skills to be able to play more impressive pieces and become a self-sufficient learner.

Or are you an
adult who always wanted to play or wish you hadn't given up lessons? I can help you, too!

I enjoy the challenge of figuring out what fits for you and how I can help you to achieve your goal.

It's a true joy for me to guide you on your path to become the pianist you want to be.
