About Carla
Hi! I’m Carla, a professional session keyboardist, University Performance Lecturer at LMA, and teacher at the Blackheath Conservatoire with a deep passion for helping students (adults and children) reach their full musical potential.
My career is split between the stage—performing with top industry professionals—and the classroom, where I train Bachelor and Master of Music students, as well as musicians of all levels keen to learn.
I began my journey at age 8 in Paris, classically trained, and obtained my Grade 8 in both Piano and Theory before following my passion for RnB, Soul, and contemporary music. In 2015, I moved to London and graduated from LCCM with a BMus in Music Performance and Production.
As a working musician, I’ve had the opportunity to work with brands like Roland and M-Audio, and perform with artists such as Sonique, Fleur East, Ruti, and New Street Adventure. From touring the UK and Europe to performing at the Royal Festival Hall and the Official Freddie Mercury Birthday Party in Montreux, I bring high-level industry insights directly to our lessons.
As a singer, I wasn't born with a 'perfect' voice. I had to build my sound through years of rigorous training and various methods, including the Cheryl Porter technique, to achieve full control. Because I’ve navigated these struggles myself, I don’t just show you what to do—I explain exactly how to do it.I specialise in helping you overcome your specific vocal hurdles because I’ve been in your shoes and found the way through.
Please see the 'About my lessons' section below to discover how we can transform your piano playing and singing together!

My goal as a teacher is for you to have fun as fast as possible on your instrument and reach your goals as a musician. With this in mind my methods are focused around efficiency and fast progress.
During our lessons I will share with you all my tips and tricks that I've learnt over the years to make your practice at home as efficient as possible, giving you a detailed programme each week and helping you grow as a musician.
On Piano: I work with beginners and experienced players across Classical, Jazz, and Pop. You will develop a solid technique and foundation applicable to any style. As a working session keyboardist, I will teach you to understand the "language" of music and theory—helping you learn songs faster and truly understand how music works, rather than just copying a song.
On singing, my lessons are very technique focused with an instrumental approach. The goal is for you to have total vocal control and master placements, vibrato, breath control, registers, rhythm, agility etc... and helping you discover your own unique and true sound and express and have fun with a full palette of vocal colours.
Whether you are preparing for ABRSM or Rockschool exams (where my students maintain a 100% pass rate, mostly with Merits/Distinctions) or playing for fun, I adapt every session to your pace and goals.
Thanks to my experience as a University Lecturer for Bachelor and Master music students, I break down complex concepts into simple steps so you can see progress from day one.

Carla is a great piano teacher. She taught my son for 3 years, made the lessons fun, and kept him motivated. She was also great at selecting repertoire that he enjoyed. We were very sad to leave her when we moved, and we have struggled to find a replacement ever since. We cannot recommend her highly enough!
I first met Carla when I took over her piano and voice students at a local Conservatoire. Across the board, her students had incredible aural skills, able to quickly pick up melodies simply by hearing them once or twice. One of our students received 100% in the aural portion of their ABRSM piano exam, which is very impressive!
Carla had also impressed upon her students the importance of practice and building good practice habits. The students were focused and dedicated when I began teaching them, and it's clear Carla worked with them to develop habits that suited them. She incorporates theory into her teaching, allowing students to understand theory in context rather than the abstract.
Carla is also a great performer, able to demonstrate what she's asking to her students, which is a massive plus.Carla has covered some of my piano and singing teaching in recent months and the students found her to be a very friendly, engaging and encouraging tutor.
Carla has covered lectures and workshops for me at LCCM the university where I teach. She received glowing feedback from the students, who praised her ability to explain concepts and prepare them for their performances. They also said that she made the lessons fun and engaging. I would highly recommend Carla as a tutor for students of all ages and abilities.
I am happy to recommend Carla as a piano tutor. I work alongside her and have seen firsthand her professionalism, reliability, and dedication to her students. She is a skilled pianist and a thoughtful teacher who builds strong musical foundations and confidence in her students. Carla is well prepared, patient, and attentive to individual needs. I would confidently recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and committed piano teacher.
I´ve really enjoyed my lessons with Carla so far! She´s super helpful and kind, and finds ways to explain and help me improve my piano skills. Highly recommend her!
Carla is a passionate teacher who genuinely enjoys sharing her knowledge. She knows how to tackle any challenge and provides clear, practical guidance that helps her students make real progress.
When working alongside Carla, I have noticed she is a passionate and knowledgable teacher who cares greatly about her student’s development and success.

I called on Carla to improve my piano playing and strengthen my technique. Thanks to her precise exercises and the routine she helped me build, I saw rapid progress. Her lessons are clear, effective and very motivating.
Carla has been my piano tutor for 4 years, and I am very pleased with her style of teaching. She has provided excellent teaching to enable me to progress rapidly and always ensures that what I practice is interesting and helpful. She is a very reliable tutor and I would highly recommend her.
Carla is a talented trained classical pianist with a soft spot for RnB. She is easily able to train a child through their grades (my daughter) as she is a talentless adult beginner (me) learn his favourite songs through breaking down chords and rhythm to easily learnable chunks. She is patient and kind and has a remarkable ear to teach you a song she's just heard for the first time in minutes. Highly recommended.
Carla is an outstanding piano tutor who provides invaluable guidance and assistance. Her ability to share insights in music has helped my growth towards my aims and she has been instrumental to my development. I highly recommend Carla to anyone looking for a professional, yet calm and supportive piano mentor/tutor.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carla as a colleague, and she is an excellent teacher and musician. She is highly skilled both as a pianist and a singer, and brings a great balance of technical knowledge and musical sensitivity to her teaching.
Highly recommended!Carla is an excellent teacher who really takes time to make sure you understand the concepts of what she is teaching.
She makes lessons fun and has helped me build strong foundations for my technique and learning. I have made progress much more quickly than I had expected to!View more recommendations
