Saxophone Lessons with professional musician // all levels and styles

From 105.86 C$ /h

I am here for anybody wanting to learn or improve on the Saxophone or, but also offering introductory classes for beginners on the piano, flute or clarinet.
In one-to-one lessons I would like to show students different doors in music to jazz and popular music and convey excitement and joy in this complex and magical science. My emphasis is on sound, phrasing, music theory, rhythm and ear training and improvisation. The lessons are atmospherically relaxed and should stimulate personal interest. Above all, it is very dependent on the student, as I try to adapt to you individually in this regard, because music is a very subjective thing. Beginners as well as advanced learners of all ages are welcome!

About Me

I am half Australian and half German, so I speak both languages fluently. Due to living in Brazil for more than 6 months, I like to think of my Portuguese as pretty decent too!
My enthusiasm and openness towards any kind of music has always been very present since I grew up in a family full of classical musicians, my greatest passion was always towards Jazz and its related genres.
I am a friendly, modest and calm person and would like to keep a peaceful and positive atmosphere in my lessons.

Education

In 2019 I completed my bachelor degree in jazz saxophone at the University of Music and Performing Arts Mannheim. Currently I'm doing my master at the Jazz Institute, Berlin. I have been enjoying playing the saxophone for about 14 years and am very passionately on stage myself. With my own band projects I have already played at festivals such as the Jazzopen Stuttgart, Fusion Festival, Stimmen Festival Lörrach and legendary Montreux Jazz Festival. With an average of around 60 concerts per year, I have become quite experienced in the business over the years. I started teaching about five years ago, both privately and at music schools. It is very important to me to pass on my love for music and everything that goes with it and to convey the complexity and beauty in it to my students.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I have a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar from Leeds College of Music although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk, and indie music.

In lessons, I aim to get students to play something they know as soon as possible in order to get excited about progress early on. We balance this with paying attention to proper technique and having one eye on the theory behind what we are playing to broaden your understanding of how music works.

I am actively engaged in playing within the music scene and have a real excitement for all types of music, whether it’s learning your first chords on guitar or working on improvisation or music theory. We'll go at the right pace for you and achieve your goals together.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition for adults. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions.

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons that push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

I invite you all to take piano lessons in Friedrichshain. Lessons in a calm, relaxed, and enjoyable environment. You'll learn to read, play, and interpret your favorite songs. Beginners will develop musical concepts, while intermediate students will progress and overcome technical challenges. Everyone is welcome; the most important thing is that you enjoy it, have fun, and be patient! It's a process! :) :)

I play classical piano and usually conduct my lessons with style, reading notes, rhythm, chords, musicality, understanding the scores in a musical sense and not just notes on paper.

Normally, I try to understand what each person needs to develop; it's a very specific process for everyone, and my role is to show them paths, concepts, and ideas. I try to tailor everything very individually to each person's needs.

I play classical piano, and I usually direct my lessons in style, reading sheet music, rhythm, chords, musicality, understanding the scores in a musical sense, and not just notes on paper.

I usually try to understand what each one needs to develop, it is a very particular process for each one and my role there is to show paths, concepts, ideas. I try to make the whole thing very personalized for each person's need.

Convido all vocals with a large piano in Friedrichshain. Aulas em um ambiente calmo, uncontraído e divertido. Voce vai aprender a ler, tocar e interpretar suas músicas favoritas. Aos initiantes, derenvolver conceitos de musicalidade e aos intermediários progredir e resolver problemsas técnicos. All of them are made of wine, but they are imported and spoken to, tenha prazer e paciência! É to processo! :)

Eu toco piano clássico, e costumo direcionar minhas aulas dentro do stile, ler partituras, ritmo, acordes, musicalidade, compreender as partituras em um um sentido musical, e não somemente notas em um papel.

Geralmente tento entender o que cada um precisa para desenvolver, é um processo bem particular de cada um e minha função ali é mostrar caminhos, conceitos, idéias. Tento fazer a coisa toda bem personalizada para a necessidade de cada um.

I’m Yaniv, a classical guitarist and guitar teacher with over 12 years of playing experience and 7 years of teaching experience.

In my lessons, we focus on enjoying the guitar — building skills, confidence, and a love for the music you play.
We can work together on proper technique, reading notation and tabs, playing songs or classical pieces, improvisation, ear training, rhythm, and music theory — all tailored to your personal goals and level.

I understand every student’s journey, because I’ve been there myself. I started learning on my own, and only when I found great teachers did I realize how much professional guidance can make a real difference.

That’s why I design a personalized learning plan for each student, helping them progress in the best and most enjoyable way possible.

I truly love teaching and guiding students through their musical journeys.
For me, it feels like a calling — a way to pass on the rich traditions and knowledge I’ve received from the great teachers I’ve studied with closely over the years.

Each student is a whole world to me. I believe that every person has a unique musical voice, and my goal is to help them discover and develop it.
Teaching is always a two-way process — I keep learning and growing from every student I work with.

Playing the drums is both fun and very rewarding, but it also carries a significant amount of responsibility. The drummer is the backbone of any musical community, creating a vital foundation for the other instruments to thrive upon. With a wealth of exercises and content available online at your fingertips to study, I can offer you valuable, personalized advice on three key aspects: technique, time, and touch. I like to call them the 3Ts.

Technique: Playing the drums is physically demanding, requiring an awareness of proper posture to safely build the muscles needed to maintain a seamless flow of movement for hours on end.

Time: Keeping a steady pulse is the primary focus of being a drummer. We need to build up our confidence to consistently maintain the desired time, even under adverse conditions.

Touch: While presenting steady time, we need to open our awareness to make our beat feel good. It’s an attitude. It’s about being musical. This means using dynamics and personalizing our four limbs to create our own unique groove. This is where it gets deep.

I love teaching beginners. They usually can jump ahead quickly in a short time. There is no mystery. The way forward means dedicating a little (or a lot) of time daily to the drums. Even just 10 minutes a day can lead to significant improvements. That’s the secret.

I recommend using an intensive approach with the classes.

Beginners take 5 weeks of 60-minute classes to learn the basics and then continue working on your own, returning for follow-up “check-ups” as needed.
For intermediate-level students, I recommend a 90-minute class where I present a comprehensive overview, all tailored to your immediate needs. You then come back for more when the information has been digested.
For advanced-level students, the same. There is so much to cover that we can focus on very specific topics. Styles, the rudiments etc... I have a lot of experience with traditional jazz and the rudimental history behind the craft.

In the end, it's about creating time to connect with the drums every day. This connection is a wonderfully rewarding and grounding addition to our lives. I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Whether you're picking up the violin for the first time or looking to refine your technique, these lessons are tailored to your individual goals and learning pace. As a classically trained violinist with orchestral experience across Europe, I offer structured yet flexible lessons that combine solid technical foundations with musical expressiveness.

We will work on: bowing technique and left-hand posture, scales, arpeggios and etudes, repertoire of your choice (classical, contemporary, or pop), sight-reading and music theory basics, and performance preparation.

Lessons are available for all levels — from absolute beginners to advanced students preparing for auditions or conservatory exams. I teach in Italian, English, Chiinese, and German, making lessons accessible to students from many backgrounds.
