Flery Vlachodimou

I am Flery, a Greek pianist and a graduate of the Jazz/Pop department at the Utrecht Conservatory. I have been teaching piano and music theory/harmony for over eight years, with a more intensive focus during the past four years while living and studying in the Netherlands.

I began playing piano at a very young age, starting with classical music and later transitioning to contemporary and jazz piano. I hold a degree in classical piano, music theory, and harmony, and I studied jazz piano for several years before moving to Utrecht to continue my studies, deepen my musical skills, and find new inspiration. I have been part of various rock and pop bands, ensembles, and was one of the hosts of a weekly jazz jam in my hometown of Thessaloniki. Currently, I am involved in several musical projects in Utrecht, including the jazz piano trio "Trio Tensegrity."

I enjoy teaching adults just as much as I enjoy teaching children. Method-wise, I focus on each student’s individual needs and preferences, adapting the lessons according to their goals and skill levels—whether they are beginners or more advanced. My main goal is for my students to have fun while learning.

I teach primarily in English, but I can also teach in basic Dutch.

I offer piano lessons to beginners up to more advanced students and a variety of music genres from classical to jazz and more contemporary styles. I can also help singers that want to accompany themselves the most convenient way and also people that would like to use the piano as a tool to write their own music. I use both my own material of sheets and notes that I create specifically for each student, but also several books and a variety of methods. Some basic music theory is usually integrated to the piano lessons I give, in order to have a more complete understanding of the practical concepts but it could also be taught separately.
