I have been playing professionally and offering personalized piano lessons for over 5 years now, and it has truly been a rewarding experience. My specialities include chord theory, ear training, improvisation, and more. I teach various piano types like upright, digital, grand, and acoustic pianos to students at all levels: beginners, intermediate, and advanced, including adults.
