Piano Lessons in English and Spanish for Children and Adults. At your home, via webcam or at the teacher's location in central Zürich

My name is Clara and I'm a classically-trained pianist and a piano teacher. I offer piano lessons in English or Spanish for Children and Adults (from 4-70 years old).

My personal mission is to keep you motivated and committed to playing the piano. With this purpose, I use a method adapted to each student, taking into account what you want to achieve and what you like. In my classes, you will learn music comprehensively. My personalized lessons do not only focus on repertoire, but also on music theory, sight-reading, ear training, improvisation, and composition.

You will be able to express yourself through playing several styles of music, creating performances full of artistry and musicality, and also to create their own music. You will also learn music history through extra group appreciation lessons and play four hand duets with other students or me. You will learn while having fun and will become a well-rounded and knowledgeable musician.

You will:

-Play and read songs from different styles quickly, working at the same time on piano technique, sight-reading, and musicality, and enhancing your talents. Do you want to play the songs that you like? Do you want to play for your family and friends? The goal is for you to enjoy playing the piano and to be able to play the pieces you like soon!
-Lose your fear of music theory by studying it applied to the pieces that you learn.

About Me

My name is Clara and I'm a classically-trained pianist and a piano teacher. I fully dedicate myself to my mission: to play the piano and transmit my passion for the piano through teaching. Nothing makes me happier than being able to give students a lifetime of music-making through the piano.
They say, “all you need to learn piano is talent and motivation”, but I believe there’s more to it than that:
-I believe strong foundations create great pianists. Through my classes, I aim to give my students the techniques they need to practice correctly and create performances with plenty of musicality, confidence, and passion.
-I believe commitment, discipline, and effort are the clues: motivation and talent are not enough. That's why I'm my students' coach during their learning process.
-I believe in the powerful tool that the piano is for self-expression, communication, and mental well-being. The piano is more than just a beautiful instrument: it is a way of life.
-I believe in the importance of sharing your passion and your successes, and setting goals that make you feel focused and keep track of your progress.
So I have one mission... making music part of your life!

Education

I did a Bachelor of Music in Spain and completed a Master in Musical performance and research. I also obtained an Artist Diploma. In parallel to completing my piano formation in several piano masterclasses and piano courses, I have focused my work on performing as a soloist and as a member of several chamber music formations and teaching students from different ages and levels.

Experience / Qualifications

I have a broad experience in teaching in English and Spanish in music conservatories and music schools. I work with students between 4 and 70 years old.

Reviews (2)

Clara is very professional and a great teacher. After only one lesson I already feel equipped to play more musically and intelligibly. She gives great tips on how to practice at home.
The first lesson with Clara was really great. She is so passionate about teaching and tailors everything in the lesson to your goals and music taste. Communication was great, especially after the lesson, where she sends feedback and exercises to keep you motivated through the week. I am really looking forward to continuing the lessons with her!

Classical guitar and music theory lessons by a qualified teacher from the Conservatory
Whether you are an adult or younger, did you know that with the proper methods, follow-up and advice, you can reach in 2 years the equivalent of what is achieved in 10 years in music school? The passion and pleasure of playing will quickly make you forget the minimum 1h30 of daily practice necessary for this beautiful and pleasant feat. This is the challenge I set myself by offering you these courses. Practicing classical guitar for 27 years, graduated from the National Conservatory of Limoges, I teach guitar (beginner to advanced levels). My method is distinguished by a perfect combination of high standards and attention paid to the pleasure of playing. Passionate about music theory (rhythms, musical notations and other aspects that seem tedious to many), I know how to transmit this taste for musical technique. The pleasure of play develops when you feel your progress, and these come with regular work. I therefore ask for attendance and regularity of at least 1 hour of practice per day. Depending on the students, the frequency of lessons can be bi-weekly or bi-monthly, and will be defined together, while remaining flexible. I can also advise you on the purchase of a classical guitar. Note: the practice of the classical guitar requires short nails on the left hand, and nails overflowing just beyond the tip of the finger, on the right hand, at all times. This allows an inimitable sound quality. References on request Follow up by email/phone as needed between lessons. Examples of pieces you will be able to play after a year: works by Bach, Giuliani, Fernando Sor, Carcassi, Aguado, Jeux Interdits, baroque flamenco, romantic works

Daria
Inspiring Piano lessons from a passionate concert pianist
Learning how to play piano with me not just about a skill you are going to master with me. It is about passion, love and discovering your new talents from a completely different perspective. It is about discovering your inner star and then being able to reveal it to others - it is why I regularly organize concerts for students at the best concert locations in Switzerland. Your level of skills does not matter - I have tailored programs for beginners as well as for intermediate level. I also help young pianists to get ready for exams to music universities and getting scholarships.
