Introduction

🎼Hi! I’m Fatima, a dedicated pianist and piano teacher with over 15 years of experience. I completed 11 years of music school training, followed by a four-year bachelor’s degree in piano performance, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree at the Longy School of Music of Bard College. I began teaching piano when I was just 15–16 years old, preparing students for entrance exams to music schools and helping them build a solid foundation. During my bachelor’s studies, I competed extensively across Europe, earning numerous first-place awards, grand prizes, and other recognitions in international piano competitions and festivals. My teaching approach is tailored to each student’s goals, whether you’re an absolute beginner or an advanced player looking to refine your technique and interpretation. I currently teach students ranging in age from 5 to 72, and I am passionate about creating an inspiring, supportive environment where everyone can discover the joy of music. I offer lessons both in my home studio and at students’ homes. Feel free to reach out to ask about availability—lessons can start right away! Let’s make music together.🎹

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

My rates are based on lesson length and location. I offer discounts for packages of multiple lessons. There are no extra fees if you travel to my studio. If I travel to you, a small travel fee may apply depending on distance. Please feel free to ask for details!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

First, I discuss your goals, experience, and schedule to make sure we’re a good fit. Then we can schedule a trial lesson to see how you feel and set a plan moving forward. I customize lessons based on your level and what you’d like to achieve.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have 11 years of music school education and a bachelor’s degree in piano performance. I am currently pursuing my master’s degree. Over the years, I have participated in many international competitions and have received numerous awards and Grand Prix prizes.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started teaching when I was 15 years old by helping children prepare for entrance exams to music school. Since then, I’ve continued teaching and sharing my passion for piano.

What types of customers have you worked with?

have worked with students of all ages and levels—from young beginners to adults. Some were learning piano for fun, and others were preparing for exams, competitions, or professional goals.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Recently, two of my students prepared for their first recital. One studied with me for two months, and the other for three months. They both started from zero and performed beautifully on stage.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Look for a teacher who is patient and makes you feel comfortable. It’s important to find someone who listens to your goals and can adjust lessons to your level and style. Also, check their experience and see if their students have made good progress.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Think about what you want to achieve—are you learning for fun, exams, or performance? Also, consider how often you’d like lessons, your budget, and whether you prefer in-person or online. It helps to know your goals and schedule before starting.
