Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Doctorate Student and Concert Pianist with years of experience gives piano lessons Online
Methodology
My teaching method changes from student to student. If I am working with a beginner, I try to get them interested in music and fall in love with the pieces we are playing. My approach is fun, but I also like to set goals for my students. If I am working with a professional musician, we work on musical pieces on a deeper, more detailed level.
Experience
I am a concert pianist and I currently study at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire at Doctorate level - Level 8 - Advanced Postgraduate Diploma. I have been teaching piano for the past ten years to students of all levels (beginner to Conservatoire students).

5 reviews on Salomé
Perfect! Salomé is a phenomenal pianist and brilliant instructor! As a very perspicacious musician, she is able to precisely detect all the musical nuances and offer specific, professional tips that are creative and yet efficacious. Her enthusiasm for music is also contagious! My two lessons with her so far have been enriching experiences! I appreciate her assistance to bring my playing to the next level!
Eric is a great student. Very talented and eager to learn! It was a pleasure to work with Eric, he is motivated and hard-working!

Salome is an excellent teacher. She is very professional, charismatic, intelligent and passionate about music. Not only is she an expert in classical music, she can also improvise in many styles such as Bossa Nova. She is super nice and knows how to connect with each student. I feel lucky to have met her.
Have you noticed? When people do what they love their eyes shine! Salomé is such a person. She’s passionate about music and it’s inspiring! I had a pleasure of visiting her in Warsaw while she was completing her Postgraduate Artistic Training at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music; those were the unforgettable musical days of my life! I attended several of her concerts at Nowy Świat Muzyki and Chopin Salon, as well as rehearsals, and got engulfed into her wonderful world of music. I saw how much hard work, love and determination go into the preparation of each piece. Salome practiced day and night and I felt like she was pouring her heart into every note she played. Apart from being a talented musician she’s also a beautiful human being. She’s an open and genuine person who radiates positive energy, and her easygoing and welcoming nature makes people feel comfortable around her. The cherry on top is Salome’s brilliant wit and sense of humor! One can never get bored with her. I believe she makes a wonderful musician as well as a tutor because she’s got it all: talent, strong will, intelligence and a radiant, charismatic personality. I am happy to know her and recommend her wholeheartedly!
When I met Salomé during my studies at one of the most widely acclaimed royal conservatories in the United Kingdom, I was much struck by the fact that, even there, she stood out as both an accomplished musician and as an exemplary tutor.
Throughout the year I’ve known her, Salomé has exhibited a flair for effective communication; the ability to capture the imagination of a group of listeners; an aptitude for engaging students with humour, relatability and a strong presence; an inexhaustible capacity for empathy; and a sincere and profound dedication to the continued education and enrichments of her pupils.
One memorable personal experience of Salomé’s talents is an occasion in which she gave a recital of Beethoven’s “Hammerklavier” sonata (a work whose length and difficulty bar its performance from all except the most elite of musicians). Not only did she display breathtaking technical masterful, but also, her interpretation was of transcendent beauty. The round of applause she gained was very long, very loud and, in my humble opinion, very well deserved.
It is not only her technical ability that impresses me, however. Salomé also possesses great natural charm and authority and fluency: that which is often described as the charismatic part of tutorship. She holds, at her core, a simple kindness that attracts various people, and could put even the most anxious of individuals at ease.
In short, Salomé is, by a not inconsiderable margin, one of the most splendid pianists and tutors I have ever had the good fortune of knowing. It is my highest pleasure to recommend her.
Salome is a very experienced teacher and her lessons are super fun. I had no previous experience playing piano and I was able to play a piece by the first lesson. Salome has been teaching me for the past few months and I will continue working with her in the future. Highly recommended!
