What Irene's students say

Finally understanding the music you're playing.

"I really like Irene as a teacher.

Next to regular practising, she also takes time for teaching music theory when teaching a new piece.
This way, you can better understand the music you're playing, making it easier to learn new things."

Pieces tailored to the student

Our son started taking piano lessons with Irene in January 2020 and now in 2024, at 16 years old, he still enjoys it. Irene is an enthusiastic and positive teacher and she tailors the music to be played well to the wishes of the student.
During the lockdown period, lessons continued online almost immediately, which was very nice.

Our son is very satisfied and enjoys the lessons.

Unique and refreshing approach

Olivia has had the privilege of learning to play the piano under Irene's guidance. Her approach is so refreshing and unique. She knows perfectly how to make the notes of music understandable, allowing Olivia not only to learn to play the piano but also to discover a love for music. What truly sets Irene apart is her ability to create an environment where Olivia feels comfortable. Her passion for music is evident in every note she plays and every lesson she gives. She is not only a teacher but also a mentor and an inspiration for our Olivia. Olivia always looks forward to her piano lessons, not just because of the music, but also because of the wonderful time she has with Irene. We are very grateful to have found Irene and we cannot recommend her enough to other parents looking for an extraordinary piano teacher for their children.
Thank you, Irene, for sharing your talent, passion, enthusiasm, and love for music with Olivia.

Composing for video productions

For fifteen weeks now, I've been enjoying Irene's lessons immensely, both online and weekly at her home studio! I hesitated for a long time about picking up piano playing again.

At 34, I didn't expect it would still be possible in my busy life ;) But my motivation remains high thanks to my goal: composing my own music for my video productions!

Irene, thank you very much for everything I've been able to learn from you, and see you at the next lesson!

Analyzing pieces in terms of chords and harmony

I have been taking piano lessons from Irene for four years now, and I have learned a lot in this time.
The lessons are fun and varied, where you not only learn from piano method books but also from various pieces of music that she bases on your interests.
I like the fact that we analyze the pieces also in terms of chords and harmony.

I am excited every time after attending a lesson!
