About Me

I took up the flute when I was 7, from that young age music was a hugely important part of my life. I was 11 when I took up the Double Bass, soon to become my first study focus into sixth-form education when I was offered a place at conservatoire. I relocated to London as a young adult in 2000, to take up my place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, completing my BMus Hons degree at City University in 2004. Since then I have been firmly installed in the education of music, as well as developing a wide variety of professional performance levels as a lower strings specialist as well as developing skills as a world music percussionist, specifically samba and djembe/African drumming.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student. The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup. I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
