About Me

My background in musical training began during my graduate assistantship at the University of Rhode Island. These duties included teaching undergraduate group keyboard classes, adjudicating for semester proficiencies and completing administrative reports for the Department of Music. Upon completing my Masters music degree in 2012, I then transitioned to Boston and accepted the position of Instructor of Piano at the Community Music Center of Boston. At this institution, I fulfilled the duties of teaching early years-to-adult students for their performance recitals, workshop seminars and annual evaluations.

In the Spring of 2018, I accepted the Instructor of Piano position at Ivy Music Academy, and concurrently began certification to become an English language trainer. Upon completion, I then transitioned to Europe and am now based here in Berlin. Since 2019, I have been a lecturer at the Electronic Music School. At this establishment, I instruct group courses by providing curriculum training and project-based assessments for sound design, music production and audio engineering.

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 am an experienced, fun, and exciting piano teacher who loves what I do! I’m passionate about tailoring lessons to the student’s interests, desires, and needs. We do a combination of improvising, music theory, technical work, and note reading to best serve the student’s goals. My priority as a teacher is to help each student reach their potential while giving them the love and enjoyment of playing music. I enjoy teaching children and adults.

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 and in the Netherlands as a piano 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. Currently I am teaching piano at Musikschule Behm, Bertheau & Morgenstern, in Potsdam.

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!

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

German below -
I started learning piano at the age of five and was lucky enough to work with the same teacher for thirteen years. During my university years at the University Mozarteum Salzburg and the University of the Arts Berlin, I had the chance to experience different teachers and approaches to music. Through this, I came to understand how important it is to find a teacher you connect with, and how our needs can change throughout our musical journey.

In my teaching, I prioritize giving my students the tools they need to become independent musicians themselves: knowing how to practice effectively, improving their sight-reading skills (which opens up an entire library of music), understanding their own strengths and areas where they can improve, and building a solid foundation of basic music theory as far as it is relevant for their piano playing.

A typical lesson looks like this: we start with a warm-up, review the previous week's practice, work on current repertoire, and set clear goals for the week ahead. I focus on helping students approach new music with more understanding and confidence.

At the same time, I feel that individuality can sometimes be overlooked in the process of improving as musicians. For me, it is equally important to leave space for creativity, through improvisation, exploring different interpretation options, listening to different recordings, and discovering different repertoire or musical styles.

I began playing the piano at the age of five and was fortunate enough to work with the same teacher for thirteen years. During my studies at the Mozarteum University Salzburg and the Berlin University of the Arts, I had the opportunity to encounter various teachers and different musical approaches. This helped me understand the importance of finding a teacher with whom you connect well and that our needs can change as we develop musically.

In my teaching, it is important to me to give my students the tools they need to become independent musicians: to know how to practice effectively, to further develop their sight-reading skills (which opens up a whole library of music), to recognize their own strengths and areas for improvement, and to build a solid foundation in music theory – insofar as it is relevant to their own piano playing.

A typical lesson looks like this: We start with a warm-up, review the week's practice, work on the current repertoire, and set clear goals for the coming week. My aim is to help my students learn new music with greater understanding and confidence.

At the same time, I feel that one's own individuality sometimes gets neglected in the process of musical development. For me, it's just as important to create space for creativity through improvisation, trying out different interpretations, listening to various recordings, and discovering different repertoires or musical styles.
