I grew up in Estonia and started learning piano at age of 7 with various teachers up to age of 15.

After moving to Scotland I’ve realized that teaching music is my passion, so I decided to gain professional qualifications.

In 2007 I was auditioned and accepted to a Teaching Diploma course and in 2011 and
I graduated from it at the Aberdeen College (now known as North East Scotland College).

I absolutely loved studying music at Aberdeen, so I decided to continue and in 2014 I was accepted to the Music Degree Course at the University of Aberdeen.
I graduated with Music Degree, Second Class Honours (Division One) in 2018.
After that I happily continued teaching my regular students.

I teach children and adults at any age. Many of my students are families, with either two siblings or parent and child learning piano together. This has proven to be an enormous fun, especially during their family gatherings, where they enjoy playing the lovely duets they’ve learned in my lessons.

I alter lessons to the individual needs therefore each lesson is unique which greatly benefits the student as a result.

I prepare students to the ABRSM and Trinity College exams on request.

With over 18 years of teaching experience,
I have developed a strong belief that music is a universal language, and each of us has the potential and ability to develop and nurture it.
