Hello!
If you or any of your children would like to enjoy learning music and playing the clarinet easily, let me know!
My name is Claudia, I'm 25 years old, and I'm a Spanish clarinetist. In March 2019, I completed my Master's in Clarinet Performance at the Sibelius Academy (Helsinki) and since September, I've been working with the Turku Philharmonic Orchestra (Finland) as co-principal clarinet. I currently perform with chamber music groups and various orchestras throughout Europe. I will be living in Cologne from January 2020.
I have experience with both children and adults.
I also really enjoy teaching my native language, Spanish, at beginner and intermediate levels, or conversation classes.
If you are interested, I would be very happy to meet you!

If you would like to learn drums or are looking for ways to take your existing skills to a higher level, then I can help you.

I began my studies at the Maastricht Conservatory in 2017 with Arnoud Gerritse and Ron van Stratum and successfully completed them in 2021. In addition to various band projects in the areas of rock, jazz, hip hop and other related music genres, I have also been giving lessons for about 5 years and since I have now moved to Cologne after completing my bachelor's degree, I would like to offer them here too.
The lessons are aimed at both beginners and advanced students and can also be used as preparation for the entrance exam.

Hallo!

I am a Spanish horn player based in Cologne. I started studying music at 6 years old and I studied my bachelor's degree in Madrid and my Master's degree in Amsterdam.

No matter what your expectations are, I am a flexible teacher with experience in teaching people of all ages, levels, musical preferences, and backgrounds. The lessons will be adapted to the student's progress, circumstances, and requirements.

I balance musicianship and fun by making sure that in each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite sheet music or song.

As a student, I feel that a teacher is a fundamental figure in one's life while setting out on a new learning experience. I would love to show my students the wonders of playing the piano, explore together the numerous emotions that we can express through music and discover an entire world of marvels.

I already have a vast teaching experience, ranging from small kids to young adults. I am available for students of all ages and levels.

In my Oboe lessons I like to focus on the individual needs of the student, for instance breathing technique, posture, the embouchure, or finger work. I set my lessons around the music my students are learning and focus on creativity within the music and exploring the different ways of musicality, so that my students can have a wide skill set of phrasings, dynamics and articulations.
I include reed making in my classes depending on the student's ability with the instrument, and I am very happy to provide reeds as well as an extra service.

When I teach piano, I include a range of different styles in my lessons. For beginners, I work from various books to encourage them to learn how to read notes on the page as well as playing freely. I also include melody writing which makes the process of learning notes and music easier and more exciting for the student.
I work on posture, finger work and different ways of expression on the instrument which gives the student a choice of how to perform and different ways of expressing their musicianship.
I coach abilities from complete beginner to intermediate.

I can work in both German and English.

Hi !

My name is Nacho, I've just sold my grand piano and moved to Köln in order to pursue a career in music, so I am always practicing and doing concerts so I guess it can really motivate you to practice. I am graduated with honors in Piano Performance programs, I really love my job and I hope to help you with your development as a musician.

If the lessons are for your children I think I am really good with kids because I make them enjoy music and I know how to adapt to their needs and goals. I have several experiences with classical music, studying with world-class pianist and universities as Royal College of Music (London), Conservatorio Superior Joaquín Rodrigo (Valencia), Folkwang University of the Arts (Essen), Hochschule für Musik (Köln). In addition, as hobby I enjoy to do modern music.

I speak English since I lived in London for one year and my native language is Spanish, I am learning German as fast as I can but at the beginning, lessons wouldn't be in German. If you need any more information, I will be pleased to help you with your goals in piano. Send me a message and let's talk :)!

Hello, dear music enthusiasts,

My name is Clio, I am a professional musician and educator based in Cologne. I am offering private lessons, at your place, in German, English, and Greek. During my teaching experience, I have taught people of different ages and levels with special expertise in little kids.

Learning an instrument can be a lot of fun; it helps you develop your self-expression and makes you smarter!

Information and structure of my lesson:

~Fundamental technical knowledge of the instrument well combined with musical and theoretical knowledge based on the material that you study.

~Adaptable to the student's personal learning pace, needs, and level.

~The teaching material includes the classical basics but is at the same time adjustable to your personal wishes!

~It is important for me that you are feeling comfortable and relaxed, as I find this essential for a good lesson and helpful to your learning process.

~I engage in the lesson by playing a lot and accompanying you with my instrument, as I believe a lot in the power of learning by observation and imitation.

Have fun learning the piano according to your taste. After years of classical piano lessons, it is important to me to pass on the knowledge I have gained in a playful way with a focus on interests, intuition and improvisation. It is important to me to teach you this instrument and the associated knowledge and skills based on your wishes and musical taste. The focus is on fun. Technology and theory will be incorporated individually depending on the circumstances, but will definitely not be neglected. I will give you the tools you need to help you achieve your musical goals with joy and motivation.
