Teachers
Milda Vitartaite
Piano lessons at AMSI have, for many years, been incredibly popular and, as a result, we have some excellent pianists in our school community.
In order that more students can benefit from the outstanding piano lessons on offer we have appointed Milda Vitartaite to work with us as we further develop our aspiring pianists.
Milda is a classical and contemporary pianist, composer and collaborator. She is a passionate contemporary music performer, constantly collaborating with different artists and recording and performing both solo, and chamber works.
She is experienced in teaching a wide range of students with different musical interests and she always ensures her lessons include time to be creative as well as time to focus on developing the essential technical skills that every pianist needs.
We are really excited to have Milda with us at AMSI.
Our students are talented and enthusiastic musicians and, as a result, I would therefore expect lots of them to be interested in learning the piano with Milda.
Piano lessons will be charged as follows:
- One 30 minute individual lesson per week @ £13.50.
- The termly cost for these lessons will be approximately £148.50
Students who are interested in learning the piano with Milda and would like to know more should speak to Fussi or myself in the music department as soon as possible.
