    Lessons of Bulgarian Folk Singing / Pop & Jazz Singing / Piano / Music theory (ONLINE)

    My name is Rayna Vasileva – a Bulgarian Vocal performer and educator of Singing, Piano and Music theory.

    I began singing at a very young age drove by my father. I graduated in folk singing at the renowned music school in Varna, Bulgaria – “Dobri Hristov”.
    Then I continued my studies at Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, majoring in “Music Pedagogy”. In folk singing, I was in the class of one of the best and famous Bulgarian folk singers – Svetla Karadjova.
    In parallel with my studies at Sofia University, I attended classes in Pop and Jazz singing and significantly developed my talent in this direction.
    I repeatedly attended the Master classes and Private classes for vocal and jazz improvisation of Christiane Karam, a lecturer at one of the best music Universities in the world – Berklee College of Music.

    In 2023 I earned a Master's degree in Pop and Jazz Vocal Performance at New Bulgarian University, majoring in in the class of Senior Asst. Prof. Nelly Marinkova. In jazz and pop improvisation, I was in the class of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Angel Zaberski.

    My brother Zhivko Vasilev and I created “Outhentic Band” in 2012, where we both blend Bulgarian folklore with jazz, funk, pop, flamenco and etc.
    We released our debute album “YesToday” in 2016 and our second album “Transparent” in 2019.

    I was part of:

    • Bulgarian Choir „Cosmic Voices“, conducted by Vanya Moneva, who has been rewarded with many prestigious awards from around the world
    • Тhe Bulgarian band – Banda DelPadre, where we combined Bulgarian folk music with Spanish music
    • Bulgarian Vocal group Avigeya and Ivan Shopov, where we mixed Bulgarian folk music with Electronic music

    In 2019 I took part in the album of the Australian jazz pianist David Dower – “There is no stars” and in 2022 in his second album – “Mravka”.

    I have participated in various Bulgarian and international forums and festivals around the world. Some of them include:
    Ethno Flanders (Belgium), Ethno Sweden (Sweden), 12th edition of the European Night of Museums 2016 (Sliven, Bulgaria), Glastonbury Festival 2017 (England), Jazz Forum Stara Zagora (Bulgaria), GuitArt Festival 2018 (Bulgaria) and 2019, World Fest Plovdiv 2019 (Bulgaria), Cairo Jazz Festival (2024), etc.

    Thanks to all this experience, now I am able to sing different musical styles and also experiment with the sound of the Bulgarian folk singing. I learned how to create and use much more beautiful nuances of my voice and last but not least I learned how to sing healthy and keep the qualities of my voice in future.

    I offer singing lessons for beginners, intermediate, and advanced of all ages in Bulgarian Folk Singing & Pop and Jazz Singing. I also offer lessons for beginners and intermediate of all ages in Piano.

    Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
    I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

    Philadelphia/Online Study Piano With Concert Pianist and Yale Graduate
    I am a concert pianist currently living in Philadelphia! I am proud to have more than 20 awards from international piano competitions. If you want to read my artistic bio and read about the awards, and hear me play, please check my website. I am originally from Russia, and for the last two years I have lived in Europe. I’m back in the states in Summer 2024. Here is my story: I started out as a jazz pianist but began dedicating myself to classical music around the age of 14. Two years later I was accepted to the prestigious Central Music School at the Moscow Conservatory. I lived in Russia until the age of 18, and even back then I had major success in international piano competitions. I moved to the US to study with a Van Cliburn Gold medalist under a full scholarship at Park University. I later got my Master’s in piano performance at Yale University. While in the US, I played all over the country and won close to ten international piano competitions. During the past two years I have lived in Germany, where I tried to absorb as much experience as possible about the German piano tradition. I am a U.S. green card holder now. My strategy is to teach you to practice as efficiently as possible. Most people are wasting their time practicing the instrument, then get frustrated and eventually abandon it. I will show you how to make your practicing meaningful. The goal is to make it easier and more enjoyable, not harder. I would describe my approach as hands-on, but I am willing to give students as much freedom as they choose. I often ask my students to send me a video recording of their performance so that we can track progress and discuss our goals and objectives together. I send a detailed lesson summary and practice instructions at the end of every lesson. I try to be polite but straightforward. My job is to encourage you but also be clear about what is getting in your way. I am a perfectionist and encourage my students to push the bar as high as is possible at the moment. Although I have experience as a jazz pianist, my formal training is as a classical pianist and I prefer to offer only classical music lessons, yet the repertoire can range from early baroque to the most recent contemporary. Wishing you my musical best, Simon

My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music.

    Gabriel
    Pianiste certifié enseigner le piano pour tous niveaux. Méthodologie personnelle et décontractée !
    J'ai plus de 12 ans d'expérience en enseignement, un diplôme de licence en interprétation au piano et une certification pédagogique d'une université reconnue internationalement. J'ai participé à de nombreuses classes de master de piano en Europe et j'ai étudié avec de grands pianistes. J'apprends toujours auprès de différents pianistes hautement accomplis. Je travaille comme pianiste professionnel depuis maintenant 6 ans, en Suisse, en Espagne, aux Maldives, à Chypre, en Autriche, en Islande et sur des navires de croisière de luxe (autour du monde). J'ai environ 10 000 abonnés sur Youtube, 18 000 sur Facebook et 30 000 sur Instagram. Au cours de ma carrière, j'ai appris que la compassion, la communication et l'encouragement sont tout aussi essentiels à la transmission de connaissances musicales que de compétences techniques. Je vous apprends également à vous DÉTENDRE CORRECTEMENT, afin que vous ne subissiez jamais aucune blessure (tendinite, etc.) pendant que vous pratiquez le piano. Mon expérience professionnelle comprend le coaching d'étudiants de tous niveaux et de tous âges, l'enseignement à différents niveaux de compétences. J'ai préparé avec succès les étudiants avec leurs examens de piano comme ABRSM, Trinity Grade 1-8 et des examens plus avancés. Je peux vous apprendre à jouer de la musique classique, du ragtime, du blues, du jazz, de la musique traditionnelle, de la musique moderne (Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, etc.), de la musique ancienne (Abba, Queen, etc.). Je dispense mes cours en utilisant une combinaison de 3 caméras pour une visibilité optimale et un microphone de qualité que mes étudiants trouvent très utile. Cela leur permet de voir une démonstration visuelle très claire à côté de mon explication verbale. Je vous donnerai des cours de piano en ligne personnalisés. Pour les débutants, j'utilise les livres de méthode Alfred, mais je suis très ouvert à l'utilisation d'autres livres également. J'aime enseigner et expliquer des choses générales, des habitudes qui peuvent être appliquées à des passages musicaux similaires, que l'on retrouve dans toutes les partitions musicales, de la musique classique à la musique moderne.

    Piano / Music Theory Lessons for All Levels - Recent Graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music
    Geneva - Lausanne - Morges Courses in English, French, Italian (native languages) - German (European level B2) As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels. Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG. As a mechanical engineering student at EPFL, I can adapt the lessons in a fun yet rigorous way, to captivate young beginners. At the same time, my background allows me to expand and deepen the pianistic knowledge of advanced pianists. I look forward to sharing my passion with you!
