What’s it like to study with me?

/ Read all about what it’s like to have lessons with me, and how I believe piano should be taught /

What am I like as a teacher?

I have been extremely lucky and fortunate to have had the opportunity to study with absolutely fantastic teachers myself. One of the most important qualities they all shared – they all taught each student differently. The lessons were tailored to each student’s personality, character and experience.

I really believe that each person who shows up to learn to play piano is so different, and the method that I use for one might not fit another one. I take great value in getting to know my pupils, and trying to understand their mindset, character, and what music or activities they enjoy. All of this helps me to develop the pace and approach in lessons that works the best.

What is important and highlighted in my teaching?

The most important thing for me while teaching piano is developing students’ musicality. We might have different technical abilities and time that we can invest but the main goals are always to understand music, develop musicality and have fun! This way, we can use music as a tool to express ourselves, but also understand and appreciate the music we hear around us.

What will be expected in my lessons?

In my lessons you can expect to always have time dedicated to technique training and warming up. After that, we dive into playing the pieces we are learning. I will provide tips of how to fix any issues and also how to practice it in a productive and efficient way at home. There will also be time spent to cover music theory in order to deepen the understanding of the pieces you play.

What will it feel like to study with me?

My goal is to inspire my students in a more substantial way beyond just playing the piano. My goal is to teach and provide you with all the necessary technical and theoretical tools to understand the music you play and hear, but above all to be able to fully experience and form an emotional connection to the music. To tell a story and show your personality through the music you play. My lessons are engaging and rich with discovery and fun!

How long are lessons and how frequently?

The length of lessons and regularity is discussed and adjusted individually based on the student's availability, what goals they want to achieve, how fast they want to progress, and also to their age. Young children until 7 or 8 years old often take 45min lessons, but again, that is not a rule!

Testimonials

Current Student

Karolina gave our daughter, Jeana, piano lessons for 2 years, supporting her successful progress through SQA National 5 and Higher Music exams.

Karolina’s style is warm and encouraging, while being clear in guidance through next steps and expectations for improvement. She is a highly professional teacher, who kept exceptional time and maintained outstanding communication with pupils and their family.

Lessons with a pianist of Karolina’s calibre resulted in an increase in Jeana’s confidence and enjoyment of playing the piano. We enjoyed Jeana’s performance of a challenging piece at a school concert during her Higher year. Jeana also benefitted from playing the piano as a means of escaping the stresses of teenage life.

Jeana says, ‘’Karolina’s lessons were always very productive. I enjoyed the lessons thoroughly. Karolina is friendly, encouraging and motivating. She made me want to play more.”

Karolina explains piano in a way that is very detailed without being overwhelming and so it is easy to understand. I’ve been to 4 piano teachers until now and have always given up after a few months. Karolina has helped me progress enough that it’s kept my interest and kept me going.

I have really enjoyed my lessons with Karolina over the last year or so. Having had 5 different piano teachers over the years (I’m 52!) I find that Karolina covers physical technique, structure, and musicality in a more complete way than any of my other teachers. Add her friendly, humorous manner to the equation and I only wish she had been teaching me for longer!
