Welcome to Piano Maestros
We are a small team of dedicated piano teachers based in Greenwich, aspiring to nurture, inspire and educate new talent. We offer home visit one-to-one piano lessons to students from the age of four to adults, and we welcome players of all abilities and aspirations.
Piano playing always brings people together, and we are committed to keeping this tradition alive. We want to pass the artistry and joy of playing the piano on to a new generation and share it with our community.
Our story
Piano Maestros was founded in 2014 by classical pianist Andrea Vargas Kmecova, a graduate of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich, London and the Academy of Music and Drama in Bratislava, Slovakia. Andrea works with a team of inspiring and dedicated piano teachers, aiming to nurture independent and well-rounded musicians. Our tutors are continuously developing their performing and teaching career, to ensure that what they teach is to the best of their knowledge and expertise.
Our philosophy
Playing the piano is a journey and, for many, it is a lifetime commitment. We want to accompany our students on their quest for self-expression and creative music-making. Regular concerts and events help us foster a positive attitude and love for this amazing instrument. Our students can work towards grade exams (ABRSM or Trinity College exam board), but this is not compulsory. The most important and beneficial part of the piano journey is to be in the present moment and enjoy the ride!

What our students say
“I started learning the piano for the first time when I was 57. My initial piano teacher left the country a couple of years ago, and I wanted to continue learning to play. I was exceptionally lucky to find Andrea and Piano Maestros almost immediately. I have continued to have weekly lessons, having them via Zoom during Covid. I am a rather slow learner to say the least, but I am making progress. My slowness is to do with me, not my excellent, patient, enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher.”
