Sofia Siar

I am a passionate piano and music teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching in conservatories, colleges, and private lessons. I've worked with students of all ages and levels, both in person and online. My lessons are fun, supportive, and tailored to each student’s needs—whether you’re a beginner discovering the piano for the first time, preparing for exams, or an advanced player wanting to refine your skills.

I believe learning music should be inspiring and enjoyable, so I combine piano playing with music theory, history, and creative activities to make lessons both educational and engaging. My goal is to help students feel confident, motivated, and excited about their progress. Over the years, I’ve helped students prepare for exams, auditions, and concerts, as well as supported complete beginners in discovering the joy of music.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Classical Music with a focus on Music Education in 2020 from University of Macedonia in Thessaloniki Greece. My strong academic background allows me to combine performance, theory, and pedagogy into a well-rounded learning experience. I hold two Master's degrees: a Master’s degree in Music Sciences and Arts from University of Macedonia and a Master's degree in Art Law Arts Management from the International Hellenic University, graduating in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

My extensive teaching experience spans both institutional and private settings. I have been teaching privately since 2011, offering personalized lessons to students of all levels. My institutional experience includes multiple roles in Greek institutions: from 2018 to 2023, I taught various subjects at the Serios Music School, and I also served as an instructor at IEK Thessalonikis from 2019 to 2023. Over the years, I've worked with students both in person and online

In addition to teaching, I maintain an active professional performance career. Notable projects include my participation in the Rachmaninoff music concert dedicated in 2013 at the Music Center in Thessaloniki. I was also part of the significant ÊTES-VOUS ENCORE LÀ? production at the Thessaloniki Music Hall on May 8, 2017. Further performances include music concerts at both the University of Macedonia and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2018.

Some of my proudest achievements include successfully preparing students for national music exams, guiding them through their first performances, and seeing many of them continue their studies in music with confidence.

I believe lessons should be engaging, supportive, and adapted to the student. I take time to understand your goals—whether that’s playing classical masterpieces, learning pop songs, or simply enjoying music as a creative outlet—and build a path that works for you.
