Testimonials

“Nicoleta Oprea has been my piano teacher for 10 years now. When I started my lessons with her, I had little to no knowledge on playing the piano. But from the very beginning she has been patient with me, taught me how to read notes and how to play even the most difficult techniques as well as providing me with a theoretical knowledge about music. She gives clear and detailed feedback so that it is easy to understand what and how I can improve and keeps encouraging me, even when I’m having difficulties. The past few years I’ve played not only classical pieces, varying from Mozart to Schubert and Schuhmann, but also modern pop songs, for example from Bruno Mars. And whenever there is a piece, I wish to play, she provides me with the notes and practises with me until I’m able to do it.” Annika

“In the nine years I’ve been learning piano with Nicoleta, she has truly transformed my approach to music. Her lessons strike the perfect balance between fun and challenging, blending new techniques with traditional methods. Nicoleta has a unique way of keeping me motivated, especially when I face difficult pieces, encouraging me to push through and improve. Her understanding of my personal needs as a student has been a game-changer. Nicoleta has helped me tackle my specific challenges, making each lesson not just a practice session, but a step forward in my musical journey. Her patience and personalized approach make learning piano with her a real joy. What sets Nicoleta apart is not just her skill as a teacher, but her passion for music and teaching. She doesn’t just teach me how to play, she teaches me how to love music and grow as a musician. Every lesson with her is inspiring and enriching.” Karin

"Nicoleta has a remarkable ability to lead students in a way that helps them understand the music they are playing on a deeper level. She goes beyond teaching notes and rhythms, guiding her students to interpret and connect with the emotional essence of the music. Nicoleta instills in her students a true appreciation for the art of musical expression." Yuan
