About Nellie
Students and parents can feel confident knowing they are learning with a highly qualified, internationally trained educator and professional performer with over 30 years of teaching experience and a long record of student success. My teaching combines advanced musical training with formal psychological expertise, allowing me to support each learner’s musical, cognitive, and emotional development with clarity and depth.
Over the years, I have guided more than 200 students through Trinity College London and ABRSM graded piano and theory exams, with consistently strong results. Many of my students have continued their musical journey at prestigious institutions worldwide, including: Berklee College of Music, USA, Manhattan School of Music, New York, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, USA, National Music Academy, Sofia, and other respected conservatories and university programs
These outcomes reflect a teaching approach that is structured, developmental, and student-centered, ensuring that each learner receives the guidance they need to grow with confidence and independence.
I hold a Fellowship from Trinity College London (FTCL), a Master of Music from the National Music Academy in Sofia, and an MSc in Psychology from Northumbria University, UK. This unique combination of disciplines allows me to teach with insight, precision, and a deep understanding of how students learn.
Families consistently describe my teaching as reassuring, insightful, and transformative, because I take the time to understand each student’s needs and help them build a strong, lifelong relationship with music.

My teaching is grounded in a simultaneous learning method and a child or student led, developmentally aligned approach. This means I meet each learner exactly where they are, building musical understanding through exploration, creativity, and integrated skill development rather than isolated drills. Lessons unfold organically, following the student’s curiosity while ensuring strong foundations in technique, musicianship, and expressive confidence.
I work holistically, drawing on my background in music education, psychology, and neuro development to support each student’s cognitive, emotional, and artistic growth. Whether a young beginner or an advanced diploma candidate, the learning experience is tailored, structured, and deeply supportive.
Lesson length depends on age, attention span, and level:
• 45 minutes – young beginners or early-stage learners
• 60 minutes – intermediate students building technique and repertoire and advanced, diploma level, audition preparation, or adult learners
Each session blends technique, repertoire, creativity, theory, and musical understanding in a way that feels natural and engaging.
I bring over 30 years of teaching experience across schools, studios, and international settings. My formal qualifications include:
• Fellow of Trinity College London (FTCL)
• Master of Music (MMus), National Music Academy, Sofia
• MSc Psychology, Northumbria University, UK
This combination of advanced musical training and psychological expertise allows me to teach with depth, insight, and a strong understanding of how students learn.
I teach beginners to advanced diploma level, including:
• Children starting their musical journey
• Intermediate students developing technique and musical identity
• Advanced learners preparing for diplomas, music college auditions, and AP Music
• Adult learners seeking structured, meaningful musical growth
Every student receives a personalised, developmentally aligned pathway that nurtures confidence, independence, and lifelong musicianship.
