Learn Piano with a Patient and Experienced Tutor — Beginners & Intermediate Welcome!

Hello! My name is Adriana Pulic, and I am a first-year engineering student at McMaster University who has been playing piano for over 10 years. I have completed piano training up to Level 7 with a strong classical background and knowledge of scales. While I am new to formal tutoring, I enjoy working with beginner-intermediate students and focus on creating a patient, supportive, and encouraging learning environment. My lessons emphasize proper hand position, basic technique, sight-reading, rhythm, and musical understanding. I enjoy helping students set achievable goals, build consistent practice habits, and stay motivated, while celebrating progress and encouraging curiosity so lessons feel rewarding and confidence grows over time naturally. Join me to explore the world of piano and start building your skills, no experience needed.

My teaching methodology focuses on creating a structured, supportive, and engaging learning environment for beginner and intermediate students. I start with the basics, introducing beginner notes and fundamental music theory, and gradually build up to more complex concepts as students progress at their own pace. New songs are introduced through sight-reading exercises, allowing students to develop reading skills while practicing pieces from a variety of genres to broaden technique and musical understanding. I provide demonstrations, clear explanations, and structured practice strategies to ensure students fully understand concepts. Lessons also emphasize proper hand position, finger placement, rhythm, and foundational technique while celebrating small successes to keep students motivated. I tailor each lesson to the individual, encouraging curiosity, building confidence, and making learning enjoyable, so students can steadily improve their skills while developing a lifelong appreciation for music.
