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.

The Student participated in a dual instrument lesson, first on cello and then on piano. For cello, they focused on proper posture, bow holding, basic bowing techniques on open strings (C, G, D, A), and the importance of tuning. For piano, the Student reviewed several pieces, learned a new three-beat note duration, and began an introduction to reading notes in the bass clef using middle C as a reference. The Tutor assigned practice exercises for both instruments and planned to send instructional videos and a note-reading chart.
