I believe each student is unique, with a distinct personality, way of thinking, and approach to music. In teaching my adult students, I focus on helping them find a balance between their own imaginative expression and the stylistic demands of the pieces they play. This approach, however, isn't as effective for young pianists. For younger students, I feel it’s essential to discover an approach that sparks their curiosity and desire to learn, creating an engaging and enjoyable experience that keeps them motivated to continue studying the piano. In my classes, students not only have fun but also gain lasting skills and meaningful insights.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Maria.
Perfect! Maria is a great teacher-she immediately built strong connections with my daughter so she can’t wait to Maria to come.
Perfect! Maria has been teaching our five-year-old daughter piano for the past couple of months, and we’ve been very happy with her. She’s fantastic with kids—patient, encouraging, and always brings a fun, positive energy to each lesson. Our daughter really looks forward to her time with Maria and is making great progress while enjoying the learning process. Highly recommended!
Perfect! Maria is an excellent piano teacher. My daughter warmed up to her immediately on day one. Maria’s lessons have a good pace and always interesting. Even a 4 years old can happily sit through it and be willing to learn and start to like playing piano. We highly recommend Maria to anyone who want to learn or improve playing piano.
Perfect! Maria has been teaching my 6-year old daughter for 2 months and I am amazed by her technical progress. She can already play with 2 hands. Maria is a very patient, attentive and thorough teacher, I highly recommend her!
Perfect! Maria is an excellent tutor, who was able to introduce me to both the theoretical and practical aspects of the piano on our first lesson. I look forward to continuing together.

You have been a qualified Piano teachers and even better friend. Thank you for all that you have done.
Maria teaches piano to my 5-year-old daughter. She is very patient and caring, and my daughter really likes her and finds the lessons enjoyable, never boring. I highly recommend her.
Maria is a great teacher She’s not just teaching piano, she’s teaching the music which is a priceless element that a piano teacher has.
Maria is a very expert, knowledgable and friendly teacher. She very quickly helped me to improve my technique with Mozart and Chopin and was especially good on interpretation of Scarlatti. I can recommend her very warmly.
My son has been having weekly piano lessons with Maria for a couple of years now. Maria is always very friendly & patient, taking lessons at a pace my son is comfortable with. They have a fantastic relationship & have fun whilst learning. My son has achieved grades 1 & 2 so far and is taking grade 3 at the start of March. I highly recommend Maria as a fantastic piano teacher.
We are overjoyed with our son Zachariah’s progress under his piano teacher, Miss Maria.
Miss Maria creates a wonderful and fun space for learning. Zachariah has developed a genuine love for playing, thanks to Miss Maria's creative teaching methods. Her clever use of games and mnemonics keeps Zachariah engaged and eager to play. Miss Maria is patient and understanding, tailoring lessons to his pace and style. Her kindness and encouragement have made the entire experience positive.
We are kept in the loop with regular updates, enabling us to be part of Zachariah’s musical journey. Zachariah, a 5-year-old, can already play lovely pieces such as "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and "Fur Elise."
Overall, our experience has been fantastic. We wholeheartedly recommend Miss Maria to anyone seeking a caring and skilled guide for their child's musical adventure. Our son's enthusiasm and progress are a true testament to her positive influence.
You are the best, Miss Maria! :)Maria is the best piano teacher I’ve ever had. I am doing an advanced exam and she breaks down all my pieces so I learn it properly, from the fingers to expression and technique. I would definitely recommend her.
