She currently teaches Piano and Music Theory at Musical Praxis Conservatory (Athens, 2021 – 2025). She also gives private piano , music theory and composition lessons online or in person as well as offering group courses of composition and film music theory.
She believes that music learning should be an enjoyable and meaningful musical experience for the student and she adapts her lesson planning and methodology according to the student`s needs and goals. Her aim is to provide creative lessons that instil to her students the necessary knowledge, passion and love about music, foster and encourage the creativity of each student as well as helping them develop their self – criticism and an holistic and interdisciplinary understanding of music.
