Saxophone lessons - Become a better musician, not just a better technician!

From 68 C$ /h

My lessons combine practical playing with music theory, so students not only improve technically but also develop a deeper understanding of music. Depending on the students' goals, the lessons can also include rhythm training, ear training, and improvisation.

I also enjoy working with students who are interested in the creative side of music, including composition, songwriting, and arrangement.

I believe that learning music should be fun, and I adapt my lessons to the wishes and needs of the students.

Lessons are available for children and adults, from absolute beginners to advanced students.

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!

Piano is an incredible instrument to learn - it provides you with a broad understanding of music, develops listening skills, and great dexterity, increases concentration, and much more.
I specialize in jazz piano but teach all musical styles according to the student's needs and wishes. Throughout the lesson we will learn music and songs, technique, harmony, ear training, theory, and rhythm - all subjects of music can be addressed through the piano!

Hi!

My name is Diego, I am a guitarist and composer currently living in Berlin. I am offering guitar and music lessons to everyone interested in learning music, from beginners to advanced players who want to improve their skills. I find teaching very inspiring and challenging. My goal is to help you find your way in music so that you can improve and enjoy the process.
I have been a teacher in different schools and privately in the last years in Spain and Berlin. I have a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from the University of the Basque Country, Musikene (Spain).

Each person is different, so I adapt to the needs and interests of each one. We always work on things that are important to you. Along with this, there are certain topics that I consider necessary for further development:
guitar technique, rhythm, harmony, ear training, improvisation, composition, different languages (jazz, blues, rock, folk), and a repertoire suitable for the student.

I can give extra material to the students with videos or Pdf to work at home.

There's also the option of doing the lessons in Baumschulenstr (Treptow).
I can go to your location for an extra fee.

Online lessons are also available via Zoom or Skype

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Diego

I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.

Through time I have found out that starting by playing songs chosen by the student and creating exercises to practice that came out from the drums of that song is a very good way to learn how to play the instrument. Also keeps things interesting, since music is always the focus. I can help to choose the songs, but the student is always who decides which songs to play. This way, lessons become 100% personalized!

I have +10 years of experience as a teacher, and I'm an active musician in the Berlin modern jazz, creative music and improvised music scenes.
Obtained my bachelor's degree in the Manuel de Falla Music Conservatory in Buenos Aires (ARG) and the European Jazz Master degree at NTNU Trondheim, RMC Copenhagen and JIB Berlin.

👂 My motto for teaching music: Learn with your ear, before understanding it with your brain.

Music can be explained entirely from a theoretical point of view 🤯. But I'm convinced that the best approach is to feel and sing the music 🎤💖, before understanding and interpreting it theoretically.

I teach music theory intuitively 💫. More than just a way of reading sheet music, I can show you how to deconstruct a piece of music in any genre, how to interpret chords, and how to improvise simply and effectively.

Hi!

Have you ever dreamed of strumming your guitar to your own original songs, feeling that electric thrill of creating something truly yours? My name is Aleksi and I am a Berlin based guitar teacher, singer, musician and professional songwriter. I am offering private guitar lessons (EN) with an added focus on songwriting. With me you can learn techniques like:

🎸 Guitar Mastery: From basic chords and fingerpicking to advanced techniques like soloing and singing and playing at the same time. I'll help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be.

📝 Songwriting Skills: Unleash your creativity and learn how to craft songs that resonate. From writing legendary lyrics to creating memorable melodies, I'll help you find your unique voice.

Whether you are a beginner (looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to even start) or an experienced player (playing the same chords over and over again wondering what the next step is); my lessons are open to everyone with a love of music and a willingness to learn.

Lessons are provided in my dedicated home studio room near Sonnenallee.

I am really looking forward to hearing about you and what you are looking to learn!

If you are one of these people, then you've come to the right place:

* Beginners, children or adults
* People with poor piano experience or “stuck” players
* Parents who want their children to learn music like a language and develop focus and calmness in the process
* Music lovers, musicians or fans of certain styles who want to play creatively themselves

Then you've come to the right place.

I have been a musician since childhood and play the piano.
I have been working as a piano teacher for 5 years. I am also an architect and multidisciplinary artist, exploring the connection between sound and visual art.

The lessons focus on piano practice, reading music and a better understanding of music – using methods such as Piano Adventures, Alfred and other modern textbooks.

After about 5 months, many of my students see a clear difference in their playing, understanding, and self-confidence.

✨ Suitable for children, beginners and anyone who wants to learn piano in a modern and enjoyable way.

For me, music is not a theory, but a language that one lives.
Music should be learned and treated like a language.

Listening, reading (music), writing and playing.
The goal is for you to eventually "speak" music naturally, without thinking too much.

Feel free to write to me if you want to know more about my teaching or how I teach music like a second language.

Other programs (feel free to ask for details at any time – I'll send you all the information):

• Program for musical culture and listening comprehension for children and adult artists
• Program: Piano lessons and music reading for all age groups
• Basic music theory program for beginners and musicians
• Program “Sight-reading” (direct reading and playing of music)

Music is fun! My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, level, and interests, creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment where learning and creativity go hand in hand.

I am a Professional Conservatory graduate with experience performing in string quartets and orchestras. I am also a Sound Engineer and Music Producer, which allows me to offer a broad musical perspective beyond instrumental training.

Whether you want to start from scratch, prepare for exams, improve your technique, develop your ear, or deepen your understanding of music theory, I can help you achieve your goals.

Lessons may include:

• Technique and posture
• Intonation and ear training
• Music reading and rhythm
• Musical expression and interpretation
• Music theory

Every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching approach, repertoire, and lesson structure to suit individual needs and objectives. My aim is to help you build strong musical skills, gain confidence, and most importantly, enjoy the process of learning and making music.

Klavierunterricht für Kinder ab 4 Jahren, Jugendliche und
Erwachsene. Der Unterricht findet bei Ihnen zu Hause statt, in
jedem Berliner Bezirk, oder auf Wunsch online.

WIE ICH UNTERRICHTE
Eine saubere Technik ist die Grundlage, aber gespielt wird das,
was Sie wirklich hören wollen. Filmmusik, Pop und Klassik
schließen sich nicht aus, und Motivation entsteht genau da, wo
beides zusammenkommt. Bei Kindern arbeite ich geduldig und mit
klarer Struktur, damit zu Hause auch tatsächlich geübt wird.

DIE ERSTE STUNDE
Wir finden zuerst heraus, was Sie oder Ihr Kind wirklich spielen
möchten. Danach schauen wir uns das Instrument an, die Haltung,
die Hände. Am Ende der ersten Stunde haben Sie etwas gespielt,
auch als kompletter Anfänger.

RAHMEN
Fester wöchentlicher Termin, 30, 45 oder 60 Minuten. Ein Klavier
oder ein Keyboard zum Üben genügt für den Anfang. Fahrzeit und
Vorbereitungszeit sind im Preis enthalten.

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

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.
