Sarina - Your piano teacher
With over 16 years of piano training, performance, and musical experience, I am passionate about helping students of all ages and skill levels develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for music. For the past 4+ years, I have been teaching piano both privately and through music academies, working with children, teenagers, and adults from beginner to advanced levels. My musical journey began at the age of four and has included extensive training in classical piano, ensemble performance, and music education. Throughout the years, I have performed in orchestras, recitals, festivals, and public concerts, gaining valuable stage experience that I now share with my students. My background includes award-winning performances and participation in professional music ensembles, allowing me to bring both technical expertise and real-world performance knowledge into every lesson. As an online piano teacher, I strive to create engaging, supportive, and personalized lessons tailored to each student's goals. Whether you are learning piano for personal enjoyment, preparing for examinations, or exploring music for the very first time, I design lessons that meet your individual needs and learning style. My teaching approach combines strong technical foundations with creativity and musical expression. Students learn essential skills such as note reading, rhythm, technique, ear training, sight-reading, music theory, and performance preparation while also developing confidence and enjoyment at the piano. Whether your goal is to play your favorite songs, build a strong classical foundation, prepare for performances, or simply enjoy making music, I would be delighted to be part of your musical journey and help you achieve your piano goals.

Student and Tutor covered both cello and piano lessons. For cello, they focused on proper instrument holding, bow technique, and extensively worked on tuning the instrument. For piano, they reviewed several pieces focusing on note identification, finger placement, counting, and duet playing, and introduced the concept of time signatures. The student was assigned homework including practicing pieces hands-separate and hands-together, watching a video on time signatures, and getting the cello professionally tuned.
