Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

My method is based on each student in particular. It doesn't matter what your level is, I enjoy teaching people who have a commitment to music and art. The main topics we'll work on are: Recognizing the guitar fingerboard, technique, sound, ear training, transcribing, harmony and harmony applied to the instrument, and reading and studying the instrument through the music you like and chose.

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

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.

🎶 Vocal Lessons Tailored for You 🎶

Singing lessons that fit your needs, just for you! We've got you covered, whether you're a seasoned vocalist or just starting out!
And guess what? Professional voice users like teachers, public speakers, and actors also benefit from the voice work! This can also be a wonderful space for artistic growth and self-expression for non-professional music lovers who are looking for ways to create art.

In our sessions, we want you to feel as independent as possible. We'll have fun learning theory, doing practical exercises, and listening actively together! Let me tell you a bit more about what we'll be doing. We'll be looking at things like voice physiology, breath control, resonance, and clear articulation.

Singing is a wonderful way to express yourself, and it's so important to remember to sing not just with your voice, but with your whole body too! And we love to focus on mindfulness and body awareness! You should feel as good as you sound, my friend!

We're here to help you learn and master whatever genre you love most, whether it's classical opera, pop, jazz, or rock.

It's about hitting the right notes, but it's also about finding your own special voice. And please don't worry if you hit a wrong note or two! We're here to help you learn and grow, and we know that making mistakes is part of the journey.

If you're looking to brush up on your listening skills and gain a deeper understanding of music theory, we've got your back! We can also help you perfect your vocal technique. Our lessons can also help you develop a wider range of musical skills, which we think you'll really enjoy! This includes active listening, which is a key part of our teaching philosophy. You'll learn to appreciate the finer details in music, from the rhythm of the bass to the emotional phrasings of the melody. Our approach is all about getting into the musical texture and feeling the emotional essence and complex layers of your favorite song so you can communicate and act your feelings.

🌟 Ready to start? Book your sessions now! 🌟

Remember, all music starts because someone has a story to tell. Your voice, your emotions, and your stories can come together in a powerful performance. It's your heart, your voice, and your narrative unfolding through music. Come as you are, with all your quirks, your laughter, your shyness, or your chatter. We're a community where every voice is honored. Let's get started on your journey!

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!

How to work the voice ? Practice ? Perform ? Compose ? Interpret a song ?
It's through technic but also practising songs from your favourite artists that you understand how to place your voice and sing your song and achieve your musical journey. Starting from the basics like breathing support, vocal routines, learning songs to practising stage presence, composition.
In my classes, I go through all this points and focus on what the student needs and wish to learn.

I had the chance to learn with the greatest Jazz singers of the New York scene. I studied, Jazz, Pop, Classical singing, which lead me to understand the voice in its full. For five years I focused on performing and touring with my different projects, and there I built my skills for the stage and being comfortable in front of a crowd.

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 :)
