About Gisela
I am a classically trained pianist with several music degrees, including a qualification for teaching, a postgraduate diploma and an MMus in Performance as accompanist. I have been teaching piano for over 30 years, individually and also in groups. My main focus is on adult teaching. I work for the City Lit institute in London as piano tutor (and occasionally still as accompanist), play A-level exams for the City and Islington Sixth Form College and as a freelancer, accompany exams in music colleges across the city. I perform regularly as pianist (and singer) solo and in chamber ensembles and also organise my own concert series in Islington, London.

My lessons are tailored to my students' needs and preferences, using awareness, integrating body and mind. My lessons are best suited to adults or older children. I teach through a step-by-step approach in studying repertoire, starting with the basics of the musical score - rhythm and pitch first, then adding phrasing, dynamics, articulation and at the highest level of work, adding own imagination to achieve a deep understanding of the meaning of the piece and having fun playing it! I also offer advice on performance anxiety. My lessons include some theory, more or less, depending on students’ interest, and classical improvisation. To aid technique, I have produced several tuition videos since March 2020 and have over the years, created a time-saving and effective practice method which gives both me and my students immense satisfaction when learning new repertoire, allowing us quickly to get to the interpretation part, where studying pieces is most exciting. Students are taking an active part in choosing their favourite repertoire - occasionally, I have simplified pieces that were technically too challenging for the player at the time.
Recommendations

I met Gisela when I joined a chamber music class (which she tutored) several years ago. As a lockdown project I decided to learn how to sing and Gisela has been giving me on-line singing lessons. She is very good at explaining and demonstrating the physical/technical aspects of singing. She is extremely patient and flexible, often suggesting several approaches to tackling a problem.

Gisela has been my piano teacher for the last two years, at first in an adult education class and then on Zoom for the last year. The transition to online teaching went quite smoothly. As an older beginner I really appreciate her friendly and ever encouraging approach which gave me the confidence I needed to make good progress and pass my exams. I am happy to recommend her wholeheartedly .
For several years now I have been learning to sing both classical and musical theatre songs at the City Lit. Gisela was recommended to me as a tutor who would help me privately with my singing. I have benefited tremendously from her great insight into all aspects of singing. Her creative, holistic, intelligent and fun filled approach has greatly assisted my development as a singer, and I have no hesitation at all in recommending her as an excellent singing teacher.
A very accessible and sympathetic tutor. Lessons are a pleasure with her
I met Gisela face:face very briefly just before 2020 lockdown and we have been doing one:one piano lessons online for more than a year now. She has helped me enormously with technique and generally with analysing a piece. She is a very observant teacher and makes really useful and supportive suggestions. I always feel very motivated to work on my practice after lessons. I heartily recommend her.
Gisela is teaching me piano. I am almost a beginner but feel I have really progressed over the three months that I have been working with her on Zoom. She is very good at identifying practical ways in which I can improve both my technique and confidence, with simple effective suggestions for practise and fingering. She is friendly, supportive and interesting and clearly has great musical skill and experience but remembers how it feels to be learning.
