WHEN CAN CHILDREN START PIANO LESSONS?

It’s never too early to start music education. However the type of learning will differ depending on the age of the student.

Children under the age of 4 can be exposed to music at home or through early childhood music classes. Music education at this stage is about interacting with music through play.

Children aged 4 to 6 can begin piano lessons, either individually or in a group, which act as a transition between early childhood learning and more formal instruction. Ideally, classes include game-like activities where children sing songs, chant rhythms, listen and move to music, and develop familiarity with the keyboard.

From the age of 7 onwards, piano lessons include more formal instruction. Children progress in a systematic way that develops their ability to listen, understand music, perform, improvise, read and write music. They develop the physical coordination for healthy piano technique, and learn how to express themselves freely through music!

Whatever age your child is, you can give your child the gift of music! Their enjoyment and appreciation of music can last a lifetime, no matter their aspirations.

About Me

I am a classical pianist and teacher. I help children and adults of all ages to develop foundational skills in music so they can become the pianists they want to be, and to express themselves freely at the piano. My experiences of learning the piano both as a child and as a returning adult have fueled my passion for understanding the most effective way to learn music, so we can play to our fullest ability, no matter our age.

Education

Classical Music (Piano), Birka Folkhögkskola
Practice of Piano and Music Theory, Australian Music Examinations Board
Ongoing private piano study and research in music education

Experience / Qualifications

I completed a two-year classical music program with a specialisation in piano at Birka Folkhögskola, in Jämtland, Sweden, as well as an additional year focused on piano pedagogy.

I previously completed examinations in piano and music theory through the Australian Music Examinations Board.

I've also taken over 14 months of private weekly lessons in the Taubman Approach to piano technique. This approach trains pianists to develop healthy playing habits so they can avoid (or recover) from injury and play with ease.

I actively research and participate in continuing professional training opportunities so that I can develop my skills and knowledge as a pianist and educator. My particular areas of interest are piano techniqe/healthy piano playing and musicianship skills.

Music games at the piano for children aged 4 to 6 years

102.65 C$ /h

Lessons are creative, engaging, and build foundational musical skills, so that your child can understand and enjoy making music! Learning takes place in a safe, calm, and caring online environment. Children will enjoy a series of engaging activities both at and away from the piano:

* Moving to music and chanting rhythms out-loud to develop a musical vocabulary and natural musical expression
* Singing activities to develop pitch and harmony awareness
* Creative activities and improvisation at the piano to ignite a child's musical imagination
* Playing a variety of piano pieces to build familiarity with the keyboard and good technique.

Lessons are tailored to the individual needs of the child so they can develop a love of music that lasts a lifetime!

Musicianship skills at the piano for adults: rhythm, pitch, and harmony foundations

102.65 C$ /h

If you are an adult who is new to playing the piano, taking the time to develop core musical skills in rhythm, pitch, and harmony is essential. It will make learning the piano more effortless and joyful! Sometimes we get so focused on learning to read music and playing what we see on the page that we forget to develop our skills in listening and understanding what we hear. When we develop a strong musical ear, we also develop our natural musicality and expressiveness.

In these lessons, you will learn short, simple folk songs at the piano and practise rhythm pitch and harmony through interactive exercises: chanting rhythms aloud, feeling the pulse of music in your body, singing melodies and harmonies. You will also learn to improvise using basic rhythm and pitch patterns. You will gradually build your skills to apply to more complex pieces at the piano. This is a fun and satisfying way to learn, knowing that you are improving your musicianship skills with every lesson.

Hi! I have over 7 years of teaching experience from young kids to adults of all levels and I love it! My goal is for my students to find joy in playing an instrument and have fun during the lessons. I also aim to make every student come out of the lesson feeling motivated to carry on learning, and tailor the lessons to what they want to learn and how to achieve their goal.
I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

I offer private piano lessons to students of different ages and levels. Depending on the student's final goal we adjust the repertoire and skills that are needed for obtaining the goal.

My goal as a teacher is to keep and increase the students' love for music as well as to offer necessary and appropriate knowledge/skills to keep the student challenged.

I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age.

I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

At my studio my students will not only learn how to play the piano, but they will receive a complete musical education in order to achieve their musical dreams. I will give all my best so everybody will get the tools for developing their own voice, helping them to master the instrument and teaching them all the theoretical knowledge they’ll need to make their particular personality shine. Openness, joy, dedication, creativity and passion for music are some of the things that you will find in the international environment of my studio. I care about who my students are and what they have to say to the world, and I will help them to develop it from the very first lesson.

In my class you will not only be able to receive piano lessons but also will learn to understand how the music works as a language. If the interest and the profile of the student goes in the direction of the purely classical music performance, the lessons will be focused on a deep and conscious piano technique development, practicing techniques, musical interpretation, history of music, history of the piano, applied harmony on the keyboard, analysis, and score reading by a method that I have developed for over 15 years of experience. And if the students wish, I can help them to prepare for the ABRSM exams and competitions as well. All this is aiming to achieve in a very practical and exciting experience the best results in the fastest way possible. But if the profile and the interests of the students goes on another way, I will give them all the tools they need to understand the language of music in depth, so they can find their own voice on the instrument. In that case the lessons will include contents of piano technique, score reading, applied harmony on the keyboard, composition, improvisation, musical arrangement, music production, recording techniques, jazz and pop music analysis and performance. Both programs can be combined depending on the focus and the profile of the student, or in case the student would like to go deeper in one of the previously mentioned subjects there is the opportunity to take an independent course of specialization on the desired topic. At the end of the semester every student will perform at the winter and summer concerts held every year and will have the possibility of making a recording session with the material worked during the term. With this, the student will not only be able to see his progress and work, but also will give him a direct experience of performing and working on a live or studio recording session, which is a fundamental part of the developing process of every musician.

Hope you can join and if so, I’ll be very happy to teach you!

Have you ever wanted to learn to play the piano/keyboard but don't know where to start? Are you regretting giving up learning the piano/keyboard when you were younger? Do you feel that your current progress in playing the piano/keyboard is being held back?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes then please contact me. I always try to ensure that each individual student's interests are catered for. If you want to play for pleasure then I will encourage you to learn pieces that you like. Alternatively, if you are more interested in achievement, in terms of taking graded exams, then this is the pathway that we will take.
Enjoyment is the key to success as it leads to a desire to practise. So tayloring the class to your needs is absolutely essential and I am very keen to work with you to achieve this goal.

I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.

I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.

The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.

I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.

I offer piano lessons for adults and children, tailored to your goals and preferences. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. Lessons are conducted in English, German and Russian. I teach piano at home in Vienna’s 3rd district and online on a beautiful Yamaha piano.

I have a full class of 13 students. Each semester, I organize a recital. If they wish, even my online students can take part through a live stream :)

I am an award-winning pianist in international competitions, a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky (BA), and currently a student at the Anton Bruckner University in Austria (MA).

I have developed my own teaching methodology, which varies depending on the student's age, skill level, and preferences. With extensive teaching experience for both adults and children, I have completed pedagogical practice and a piano teaching methodology course at the Moscow Conservatory. I teach beginners from scratch, prepare school students for exams, competitions, concerts, and entrance exams. Additionally, I teach solfeggio, music theory, ear training, rhythm development, hand positioning, and stage performance skills. I work on both classical repertoire and any pieces the student desires. I create custom arrangements for my students, including simplified versions of difficult pieces.

My online setup makes the lessons feel just like in-person: I use a tripod to demonstrate my hands and provide an online screen display for sheet music. After each lesson, I send video tutorials for clear, visual examples.

I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.

My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.

Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.

A bit about me:

Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.

Hi! I’m Didac Barber, a professional concert pianist and experienced teacher from Spain, now based in the Netherlands.

I hold a Master’s in Piano Performance from The Hartt School (USA) and trained at ESMUC Barcelona, studying with top international pianists like Adolf Pla and Luiz de Moura Castro. I’ve performed across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, and have taught piano for over 15 years — in conservatories, private studios, and internationally online.

My passion lies not only in performance but in helping students discover what they are capable of. I’m dedicated, empathetic, and patient — and I want you to enjoy your learning journey as much as I do sharing it.

Each student is different, and so are my lessons.
Whether you're just starting out or already preparing for auditions or performances, I’ll adapt the lesson to your goals, challenges, and musical taste.

We can work, all in a way that feels personal and motivating, on:
* Technique and sound production
* Repertoire (classical, contemporary, film music, etc.)
* Musical expression and interpretation
* Performance preparation (concerts, exams, auditions)
* Practice strategies and confidence-building

I’m here to help you be the best pianist you can be, whether that means mastering Bach or finally playing your favorite piece with confidence.

Lessons are at students home or online, and taught in English, Spanish, or Catalan, unfortunately not in Dutch for now.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I’d love to hear about your musical goals and help you reach them.
Let’s make music together!
— Didac 🎶
