I teach piano and keyboard skills with a friendly and encouraging approach. My students learn technical exercises and pieces/songs carefully chosen to suit each individual and I also incorporate relevant music theory. I teach on an upright acoustic piano at my place in Wedding and in some cases travel to the student for lessons.

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.

Hello there!

My name is Sara and I'm a classical pianist and piano teacher. I have been a pianist for about 15 years and started teaching it a while ago as well. I offer lessons in 3 different languages ( English, Arabic and German) for both beginner and intermediate levels.

I believe music should be enjoyed and comfortably played, allowing people to both connect with it and understand while challenging them to express themselves in new and different ways. Music lessons are fun and will be set to make the student confident and comfortable in their playing. If any student needs extra time or space to feel secure and safe, I will offer as much understanding and security as I can.
Trust is my number one motto, if for any reason a student feels pressured or uncomfortable they can come and talk to me directly and we shall figure out a way to make music learning fun and enjoyable for them.

I'd like to think of myself as someone who truly enjoys making a good change in the world and who tries to offer the best possible experience when getting to know the instrument and how to play it and I hope you find the trust in me to sign up for my class!

Thank you and have a lovely day

Sara

I graduated in piano with the highest honors under the guidance of Maestro Roberto Corlianò. Later I worked in Salzburg, Austria, as a piano teacher's assistant and later in Italy in two different schools as a piano and music theory teacher. I have had students from 4 to 75 and the lessons will be open to all those who want to approach this instrument for the first time or wish to deepen their knowledge. My approach is very free and is based on the needs of the student. I work exceptionally hard and am always open to finding new teaching methods. I try to understand students' weaknesses to reduce difficulties and their strengths to improve their skills. My last job was at Rootz Muziekscholen in Delft, Nootdorp, and Pijnacker.

Hi!

Have you ever dreamed of strumming your guitar to your own original songs, feeling that electric thrill of creating something truly yours? My name is Aleksi and I am a Berlin based guitar teacher, singer, musician and professional songwriter. I am offering private guitar lessons (EN) with an added focus on songwriting. With me you can learn techniques like:

🎸 Guitar Mastery: From basic chords and fingerpicking to advanced techniques like soloing and singing and playing at the same time. I'll help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be.

📝 Songwriting Skills: Unleash your creativity and learn how to craft songs that resonate. From writing legendary lyrics to creating memorable melodies, I'll help you find your unique voice.

Whether you are a beginner (looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to even start) or an experienced player (playing the same chords over and over again wondering what the next step is); my lessons are open to everyone with a love of music and a willingness to learn.

Lessons are provided in my dedicated home studio room near Sonnenallee.

I am really looking forward to hearing about you and what you are looking to learn!

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

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 piano doesn’t have to start with complicated sheet music. In this course, you’ll learn how to play the piano using chords as your foundation, so you can quickly understand how songs are built and start playing music you love from the very beginning.

This is a practical, modern approach designed for students who want real results. Instead of memorizing notes, you’ll learn the chord concepts and patterns that apply to almost any song.

You will learn:
How chords work across the entire keyboard
The most common chord progressions used in countless songs
Left-hand and right-hand accompaniment patterns
How to recognize chords by ear and play without sheet music
Smooth transitions between chords and song sections
How to add rhythm, flow, and expression to your playing

Music is fun! My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, level, and interests, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment where learning and creativity go hand in hand.

I am a Professional Conservatory graduate with experience performing in string quartets and orchestras. I am also a Sound Engineer and Music Producer, which allows me to offer a broad musical perspective beyond instrumental training.

Whether you want to start from scratch, prepare for exams, improve your technique, develop your ear, or deepen your understanding of music theory, I can help you achieve your goals.

Lessons may include:

• Technique and posture
• Intonation and ear training
• Music reading and rhythm
• Musical expression and interpretation
• Music theory

Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching approach, repertoire, and lesson structure to suit individual needs and objectives. My aim is to help you build strong musical skills, gain confidence, and most importantly, enjoy the process of learning and making music.
