Liebe Musikfreunde,
ich unterrichte mit viel ausprobieren und Freude am Klavierspielen.
Egal welche Motivation- ob Noten lernen, ein spezifisches Stück zu spielen oder Lieder begleiten, ich werde praxisnah arbeiten und gebe Hausaufgaben, damit du auch unabhängig von mir lernst Klavier zu spielen.
Ich unterrichte seit vierzehn Jahren, studierte Musikpädagogik, Klavier und Cembalo und durch viele LehrerInnen und SchülerInnen benutze ich viele lustige Wege, um schnell lernen zu können. Dieses Jahr werde ich mich auf Erwachsene und Jugendliche fokussieren.
Ich freue mich auf euch. Wenn du 15 Minuten mit dem Fahrrad von mir wohnst, komme ich auch zu dir nach Hause, sonst unterrichte ich in der Universität der Künste oder bei mir zu Hause.
Lieben Gruß, Simone

Dear Pianoteacher searchers !
If I should describe my piano lessons I would say that they are very playful! The talking and theory is secondary, most important is to play and then see how to listen and adapt from there. My students have fun, they enjoy our lessons, otherwise they don't practise and make progress :)
It is important that our lesson is making you more independant and secure to play and understand music on your own! I have teaching experiences since fourteen years, I studied music education, piano, harpsichord which I will use for your understanding. This year I will only focus on teaching people over 12 years old. If you live 15minutes by bike from me, there is the possibility to come to your home. Otherwise I will be teaching in Universität der Künste or at my home.
I wish you all the best in finding the right teacher. Hope to hear you soon !
Best wish, Simone
Extra information
I teach in English, French and German, mainly classical music but film and pop music are also very popular with my students.
Mes cours sont en anglais, francais et allemand, en general la musique classique mais pop et musique de film sont aussi très populaire avec mes étudiants.

I want to make learning enjoyable. For that we need a relaxed mind, which is given when we have fun. That's why we will "play" piano, so skills can be required the most efficient.

Learning jazz is learning 20th and 21st century popular music,since that's where it's roots are coming from.Whether being a rock musician,hip hop producer,or a pop singer,jazz is what brings everything to another level.Mastering jazz phrasing,gives any musician an elite level of rhythmical fluency.
I also teach classical music,and I highly recommend it,especially for beginners,for developing the right habits from the start.
In this class,I deal with music theory,rhythm,harmony and improvisation,and for pianists,since I am one,also with piano technique,and reading music.

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

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.

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.

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.

HOW I TEACH
Clean technique is the foundation, but it's not just about playing it.
What you really want to hear. Film scores, pop and classical music.
They are not mutually exclusive, and motivation arises precisely where
Both things come together. With children, I work patiently and with
a clear structure, so that practice actually takes place at home.

THE FIRST HOUR
First, we find out what you or your child really play.
would like to. After that, we'll look at the instrument, the posture,
The hands. At the end of the first hour, you played something.
even for complete beginners.

FRAME
Fixed weekly appointment, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. A piano.
Or a keyboard for practicing is sufficient to begin with. Travel time and
Preparation time is included in the price.

---------------------------------------------------------

Piano lessons for children from age 4, teenagers and adults, at
your home anywhere in Berlin, or online if you prefer. Lessons
in English, Turkish or German.

Clean technique is the foundation, but we play the music that
actually pulls you to the instrument. I have been teaching for
seven years and currently also teach at two Berlin music
schools.

A fixed weekly slot, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. A piano or a keyboard
at home is enough to start. Travel and preparation time are
included in the price.

Clean technique is the foundation, but it's not just about playing it.
What you really want to hear. Film scores, pop and classical music.
They are not mutually exclusive, and motivation arises precisely where
Both things come together. With children, I work patiently and with
a clear structure, so that practice actually takes place at home.

THE FIRST HOUR
First, we find out what you or your child really play.

I will teach you all the basic stuff to start playing the piano and also some music theory, to give a better general understanding of the musical world.

The main goal of the course is to give you all the knowledge you need to play the piano and also understand music trough teory. My approach is focused on making the student understand as much as possible the things we do, in order to develop skills, rather than giving strict tecnique exercises.
