Piano lessons for young and old in Charlottenburg

From 59.99 C$ /h

I offer piano lessons for children (from 7 years), teenagers and adults (no age limit). For beginners I use the Bastian piano school as basic material. I also offer music theory. This makes it easier to read music and you get a better understanding of the music. Additional material for technique (finger strength of foam for beginners and intermediate levels) is also offered if required.

I'm Mary from Berlin. I'm a teacher and piano composer with 15 years of experience and also teach at a music school. I also have a bachelor's degree in teaching English. If you're interested in teaching your children how to play the piano in addition to theoretical knowledge, I'd be happy to help you. I prefer to adapt my lessons to the needs and wishes of my students. I believe that the teacher's main goal in the first lesson is to encourage students so that he or she can soon play the music of a famous composer and composer, cultivating a love of music in students' hearts from day one. I love my job. I teach Russian, German, and English in my apartment on Wilmersdorfer Str., Berlin, or online lessons.

Liebe Musikfreunde,
ich unterrichte mit viel ausprobieren und Freude am Klavierspielen.
Egal welche Motivation- ob Noten lernen, ein spezifisches Stück zu spielen oder Lieder begleiten, ich werde praxisnah arbeiten und gebe Hausaufgaben, damit du auch unabhängig von mir lernst Klavier zu spielen.
Ich unterrichte seit vierzehn Jahren, studierte Musikpädagogik, Klavier und Cembalo und durch viele LehrerInnen und SchülerInnen benutze ich viele lustige Wege, um schnell lernen zu können. Dieses Jahr werde ich mich auf Erwachsene und Jugendliche fokussieren.
Ich freue mich auf euch. Wenn du 15 Minuten mit dem Fahrrad von mir wohnst, komme ich auch zu dir nach Hause, sonst unterrichte ich in der Universität der Künste oder bei mir zu Hause.
Lieben Gruß, Simone

Dear Pianoteacher searchers !
If I should describe my piano lessons I would say that they are very playful! The talking and theory is secondary, most important is to play and then see how to listen and adapt from there. My students have fun, they enjoy our lessons, otherwise they don't practise and make progress :)
It is important that our lesson is making you more independant and secure to play and understand music on your own! I have teaching experiences since fourteen years, I studied music education, piano, harpsichord which I will use for your understanding. This year I will only focus on teaching people over 12 years old. If you live 15minutes by bike from me, there is the possibility to come to your home. Otherwise I will be teaching in Universität der Künste or at my home.
I wish you all the best in finding the right teacher. Hope to hear you soon !
Best wish, Simone

Hello, my name is Oscar and I am a Violin and Piano teacher from the UK, now living in Bristol, after several years of living abroad.

I've been teaching and performing on both instruments for 5 years, during, and after my studies at the Royal Northern College of Music. I have taught children from the age of four, up to adults in their late sixties, and I find all spectrums of age and ability rewarding and engaging to work with. Regarding Violin tuition, I am happy to teach up to any level. On the piano, I, however, currently prefer to teach up to an ABRSM grade 8 level, and not far above it.
My musical endeavors, whilst focused predominantly on the Classical style in my early childhood, have become quite varied and I am a great lover of many different styles. I play regularly in Klezmer bands, Celtic Folk groups and I run a Gypsy Jazz Collective, besides performing with Orchestra's, Small string ensembles, and as a Solo Violinist.
Whilst I wouldn't consider myself to be an expert, I thoroughly enjoy guiding people through the early stages of learning to improvise, and I am equally comfortable working with students in this way as I am teaching in a more traditional, classically-orientated manner.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! my name is Sarah. I have a certificate in Classical Piano Performance. I have years of experience in teaching music in different languages (Arabic, English, German and French).
In 2020 I finished my master's in Music Therapy in Germany. At the end of my studies, I did my research on online music playing and wrote my thesis on music interaction through online platforms which gave me a great deal of experience when it comes to online teaching. In my online lesson, I use several cameras from several angles to give the student the chance to see what I am doing.
My lessons (Live and Online) are fun and very beneficial, and all my students showed fast progress

With me you will learn how to write notes, read, harmony theory (chord formation) and also how to work independently on a piece. The lessons are of course adapted to each individual. The pieces can be selected together or given by me. The goal is to see success faster through fun and diligence. Already have a lot of experience with piano lessons with children.
About me, my name is Pedram, I am 18 years old and I am currently doing my Abitur. I have also been playing for 12 years and have taken part in many concerts and competitions.
Of course there is a free trial lesson and books to study.

I am an Award Winning Film Music Composer of Short and Feature Length films with distribution on platforms such as Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Sky as well as official selection in over 40 International and Academy Award Qualifying Film Festivals, including Cannes, Hell’s Half Mile (Michigan, US), Los Angeles International Shorts, FilmQuest and Urbanworld (New York, US). My soundtracks are distributed on all major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc) and feature scores composed for electronics, Full Orchestra, small ensembles and genres like 20th Century Orchestral, Minimalism, Motown, Avant Garde, Musique Concrete and many more.

As your piano tutor, I want to teach you how I learnt piano, and show you how to be creative with music, at the very least for enjoyment, but also for any professional aspirations into composition.

I start by familiarising my students with the fundamentals of music at the piano, how the piano is structured, arpeggios, baselines, chord sequences, melody sequences, etc. We take these fundamentals and build sophistication of musicality with a dynamic curriculum.

Lessons are structured by familiarising with musical concepts by a demonstration, playing together, and playing solo in a way that aims to be accessible and sensitive to the student’s sensibilities.

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Dear music lovers,
I am a concert pianist and piano teacher and offer piano lessons with home visits.

I think it is important to see music studies as a complex education in close relationship with other arts. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, with the diverse and deep insight into the world of classical music you will feel freer and, what's more, be able to express yourself much better. I use a mixture of the classical Russian piano school, European heritage and the individual repertoire selection that is unique for each student.
For these reasons, I teach young people from about 15 years of age with no upper age limit.

Give yourself the chance to spread your possibilities!
