Salma Rabbata
Piano teacher since 2000
With more than 26 years of experience as a piano teacher at various music institutes and as head of the music department at the Bulgarian Cultural Centre, I teach piano to all ages and levels, at my home or at yours.
Who I am and what I do
I have played the piano since the age of eight and earned my diploma at an international music institute. Since then I have taught children and adults, from complete beginners to advanced players.
You don't need to be a natural talent to begin. A keyboard with touch-sensitive keys is enough to get started; if you don't have anything at home yet, I'm happy to help you think it through.
I teach at my home in Berghem or at yours. Feel free to get in touch to discuss the options.

About me
For me, piano is not a hobby but a lifelong passion. I guide students with patience, warmth and personal attention, whatever their age or level.
My teaching style
I adapt the way I teach to the person in front of me, not the other way around. Small, achievable steps, lesson material that suits the music you love, and room to make mistakes before anything gets corrected.
Education & experience
Alongside my piano diploma, I hold a Bachelor's in English Literature and Translation and a diploma in International Public Relations. I have gained many years of experience at various music institutes and have given workshops for organisations in the Netherlands and abroad.

“Onze zoon van 12 en dochter van 9 gaan allebei met veel plezier naar pianoles. Ze weet de lessen leuk, gezellig en leerzaam te maken, waardoor de kinderen iedere week weer enthousiast zijn om te gaan. Ze voelt goed aan wat kinderen nodig hebben en weet hen op een positieve manier te motiveren. Wij zijn erg blij met haar en kunnen haar van harte aanbevelen!”
“Piano lessen zijn prachtig, aardige docent en je leert snel, ik heb leren met 2 handen spelen binnen een week en een half! keurig dit. located op : oss / berghem.”
“Ik volg pianoles bij juf Salma en ik ben ontzettend blij met mijn keuze! 🎹❤️ Salma is superlief, geduldig en legt alles op een duidelijke en leuke manier uit. Elke les is gezellig en leerzaam, en ik ga altijd met een goed gevoel naar huis. Ik kom zelfs speciaal vanuit Den Bosch om mijn pianolessen bij haar te volgen, omdat ik haar lessen zo fijn vind. In een korte tijd heb ik al heel veel geleerd: ik kan nu veel beter piano spelen én ik kan noten lezen! 🎶 Ik ben echt heel tevreden en zou de pianolessen bij Salma zeker aanraden aan iedereen die piano wil leren spelen. Een echte aanrader! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I highly recommend this wonderful piano teacher. She is incredibly kind, patient, and professional, and she has a real talent for teaching. Her lessons are clear, engaging, and adapted to the student's level and needs. She makes learning piano enjoyable while still maintaining a high standard of technique and progress. What I appreciate most is her professionalism, dedication, and the genuine care she puts into helping her students improve. She is truly excellent at what she does, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and lovely piano teacher.”
