Learn Piano with Mariia
Tailored lessons for all ages and levels
I’m an experienced and passionate piano teacher, offering lessons for both children and adults. I take the time to assess each student’s skill level and musical goals, ensuring lessons are engaging, enjoyable, and personalised, whether you dream of playing Chopin, Ludovico Einaudi, or Elton John.
A Structured Yet Flexible Approach
Every lesson ends with a practical, achievable practice plan that fits your schedule. I value clarity and efficiency, so you make steady progress and still enjoy the process.
Locations & Languages
Lessons are available online or in person; I can travel within reason from my base in Battersea.
I teach in English, Ukrainian, and Russian
For children
I make learning fun and interactive, using games and duets to build confidence and musicality. As students progress, I choose pieces suited to their level for lessons and home practice. If desired, I also prepare students for grade exams (all grades).
For adults
My adult lessons focus on solid technique and removing bad habits. Prefer learning through specific pieces? Great. Want to explore styles with a little history and theory? Also great. I’ll tailor the path to you, whether that’s mastering keys, scales, chords, and arpeggios to unlock improvisation and composition, or simply learning a favourite piece, with a clear practice plan to reach your goals.
Gliere ‘Melody’
Reinhold Gliere was born in 1875 and was professor and director of the Kyiv Conservatory, where I attended many years later. I love this slow and reflective study that is very much in the romantic style. I often play it to focus my mind and creative energies before a long practice session.
