Join me for an artistic voice development practice! ( open to all genres )

In a dynamic and immersive learning experience emphasizing practical, hands-on learning, we will focus on uniqueness as artists and the dramaturgical elements of performance/creation.

We will work on your ideas and material while I will introduce project-based challenges, followed by reflection and discussion sessions on artistic references and identity with the intention of deepening the understanding of artistic choices, and feed the practical sessions.

We can discuss concept, theory, production, composition and songwriting.

At the core of my approach is the art of crafting an inclusive space—one that not only nurtures self-expression but also celebrates individuality. I'm a firm believer in honoring the pace and progress of each student, creating a dynamic environment that sparks motivation and ensures development. For me, the teacher-student connection facilitates the unlocking of the authentic potential of one's voice.

Hi there!

My name is Darius , I am from Germany and I am studying my Master's at the Rythmic Music Conservatory in "Music Performance".

I've been playing the piano since the age of 5 years and I started teaching when I was 14 years old. I have experience teaching all levels, including young childres (>6) and adults of all age - teaching privately and in music schools ever since.

I can offer basic to intermediate teaching in classical related and pop related piano / keyboards. Having a jazz background myself I can offer jazz lessons from basic to expert which might include preparing for auditions. I am very open to the interests of my students, but my only requirement is to take some time for people call "practising" - or just making yourself a nice time with music :)

I also offer other music related teaching in music theory, "ear training", production etc. on all levels.

I believe that we should do stuff that you're interested in. Maybe you'd like to learn this beautiful classical piano piece? Or you would like to play jazz piano? Or you'd like to accompany yourself on the piano? Anything is possible :)

I also believe that lessons should not be work that you need to do or be good at... For me it's all about fun, creativity, imagination, and taking a break, relaxing, expressing, listening, experiencing, getting more sensitive.. enjoying music both listening to it and playing it yourself :)

If you're interested, you can listen to my music in my hiphop/jazz band "Bokoya"!

Lessons would take place at Rythmic Music Conservatory in Holmen (Bus 2A from Christianshavn) or (within a reach of 1052) in your home. Timing is pretty flexible. Let's meet each other :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

I teach music through a practical, student-led approach focused on real-world skills, confidence, and creative independence.

My goal is not just to show what to do, but to explain why it works, so students can apply the knowledge across styles, tools, and situations.

Teaching techniques and methods:

I tailor lessons to each student rather than following a rigid syllabus. Teaching is hands on and example driven, using demonstrations, guided exercises, and problem solving. I focus on breaking complex ideas into simple, usable steps, and I prioritise understanding over memorisation. For production and DJ students, this means working directly in their software or setup; for instrumentalists, it means technique applied immediately to music they care about.

A typical lesson plan:

Each lesson usually begins with a short check-in: what have you been working on? What’s got you stuck? And what do you want to do next? We then focus on one or two clear objectives—such as improving a technique, understanding a concept, or developing a track or performance idea. Lessons end with a practical takeaway: a focused exercise, creative task, or workflow to work on between sessions. Including your own SAMPLY portal to share home work and ideas and track messages.

Special characteristics as a teacher

I bring professional, real-world experience into every lesson. I’m direct, patient, and honest about what works and what doesn’t. I’m especially good at helping students who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or self-critical regain clarity and momentum. I adapt quickly to different learning styles and keep lessons grounded and encouraging.

Who I teach

I teach teenagers and adults at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. This includes hobbyists, aspiring professionals, and working musicians who want to level up specific skills. I regularly work with students who are self-taught, returning to music after a break, neurodivergent, or lacking confidence. Lessons are adapted to individual goals, pace, and circumstances.

It doesn't matter what your taste or current skill level is; we'll explore what you want so that music can serve the purpose it has in your life. If you want to learn how to play the piano, you will receive guidance on technique and interpretation to the degree that you find useful. If you want to better understand how music works, we will cover the basics of music theory and go further if you'd like. Finally, if you want to create music, whether that's producing it in a DAW or composing a piece of classical music, I'll give you all the tools you need to express yourself.
