About
Hi! I am a dedicated pianist and composer with passion for teaching. I love breaking down musical concepts and helping you understand how things work, as well as following the growth of the students. With pleasure I have taught kids of four years old, beginner seniors above the ages 65, Chopin etudes to advanced students and everything in between. I can help you prepare for performances, exams, and competitions, and I am also happy to help if you simply want improve your skills for your own pleasure.
I have a master's degree in both classical piano and composition from the Royal Conservatoire in Antwerp. Currently active in the international professional field, I have collaborated with musicians across a wide range of styles and genres, including composing for the Flanders Symphony Orchestra, HERMES Ensemble, iSolisti European Music Festival for the Youth, as well as creating an interactive music theatre piece on vulnerability, and winning the 3rd prize at the Malmö Piano Competition. I work frequently in theatre and dance productions. Additionally, I play synthesizer in a rock band, work with electronics on the computer and enjoy improvising in various musical styles. My hobbies are reading and practicing Tai Chi and Kung Fu.
Online lessons are the most practical way for me to share my passion and expertise. I am fluent in Swedish, English, and Dutch. Looking forward to meet you!

“Duo Volgaris have in their EP the best opening track I have heard in a long time. (…) This debut is more than promising.” – review by Ystads Allehanda
Teaching Style
I don't believe in only using one method of teaching. Every student needs to have a personalized learning plan matching their interests and goals. I have a big asset of methods I can teach, including some that I have developed myself.
