Studying with Evelina
Lessons begin with the music you want to express and the questions your playing raises. Artistic guidance connects close listening with practical work at the keyboard.
Sound and musical shape
Explore sound, voicing, touch and pedalling in relation to phrasing and structure. Stylistic understanding gives each choice a musical purpose, from a single line to the architecture of a whole work.
Technique in service of expression
Work on movement, coordination and technical freedom where demanding repertoire creates obstacles. The aim is to connect a clear musical intention with a physical approach you can carry into your own practice.
Preparing to communicate
Develop interpretation and stage preparation for auditions, concerts or competitions. Professional coaching offers teachers and performing musicians an outside ear; advanced amateurs can deepen repertoire without a public performance goal.
Ways to study
Lessons in Amsterdam
Regular individual lessons allow repertoire and musical questions to develop over time, with continuity between studio work and independent practice.
Online lessons
Work from your own piano on repertoire, interpretation and preparation. Read about the setup and approach to online piano coaching.
Intensive work
Concentrated sessions can support a particular programme, technical question or approaching audition. The focus and format are agreed around your needs.
Occasional in-person sessions
Visiting pianists can arrange focused work in Amsterdam, including in-person sessions alongside an ongoing online relationship.
