Private piano lessons for beginners taught in English (ages 7-16)

From 42 C$ /h

I teach kids and young adults ages 7 to 16 who are still in the beginning stages of their piano learning journey. During the class, my students will be introduced to music theory, learn how to read notes, and improve their piano playing skills by learning a piano piece. The focus of the class is to build a solid musical foundation that will last. Nonetheless, I try my best to keep my classes exciting and adjust them based on individual needs.

Class includes:
- Music theory
- Piano exercises for technique
- Note-reading
- Learning a piece + tips
- Sheet music to take home

I have 13 years of experience playing classical piano and am currently studying music production here in Berlin.

About Me

People have said that I have a talent for teaching! And to hear this soothes my heart. Music has been a part of my life ever since I was little. I'm currently an artist and a music producer, though my path started with classical piano. I remember teaching piano pieces to everybody around me including my family and friends. Nothing makes me happier than seeing others improve. I'm here to share a piece of my mind and introduce my students to the magical world of music.

Education

I went to a music school for 7 years and got my diploma in the major of classical piano.
I now moved to Berlin to study BA in music production and just finished my first year.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 13 years of experience in classical piano, and I've been making my own music for 6 years now, which gives me enough experience to understand different concepts of music theory, arrangement, and sound.

I teach piano and keyboard skills with a friendly and encouraging approach. My students learn technical exercises and pieces/songs carefully chosen to suit each individual and I also incorporate relevant music theory. I teach on an upright acoustic piano at my place in Wedding and in some cases travel to the student for lessons.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I have a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar from Leeds College of Music although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk, and indie music.

In lessons, I aim to get students to play something they know as soon as possible in order to get excited about progress early on. We balance this with paying attention to proper technique and having one eye on the theory behind what we are playing to broaden your understanding of how music works.

I am actively engaged in playing within the music scene and have a real excitement for all types of music, whether it’s learning your first chords on guitar or working on improvisation or music theory. We'll go at the right pace for you and achieve your goals together.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition for adults. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions.

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons that push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

I am an experienced, fun, and exciting piano teacher who loves what I do! I’m passionate about tailoring lessons to the student’s interests, desires, and needs. We do a combination of improvising, music theory, technical work, and note reading to best serve the student’s goals. My priority as a teacher is to help each student reach their potential while giving them the love and enjoyment of playing music. I enjoy teaching children and adults. Currently offering in-home lessons in English or German in Pankow, Prenzlauer Berg, and Wedding.

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.

I graduated in piano with the highest honors under the guidance of Maestro Roberto Corlianò. Later I worked in: Salzburg, Austria (as a piano teacher's assistant) and later in Italy and in the Netherlands as a piano teacher. I have had students from 4 to 75 and the lessons will be open to all those who want to approach this instrument for the first time or wish to deepen their knowledge. My approach is very free and is based on the needs of the student. I work exceptionally hard and am always open to finding new teaching methods. I try to understand students' weaknesses to reduce difficulties and their strengths to improve their skills. Currently I am teaching piano at Musikschule Behm, Bertheau & Morgenstern, in Potsdam.

Whether you're picking up the violin for the first time or looking to refine your technique, these lessons are tailored to your individual goals and learning pace. As a classically trained violinist with orchestral experience across Europe, I offer structured yet flexible lessons that combine solid technical foundations with musical expressiveness.

We will work on: bowing technique and left-hand posture, scales, arpeggios and etudes, repertoire of your choice (classical, contemporary, or pop), sight-reading and music theory basics, and performance preparation.

Lessons are available for all levels — from absolute beginners to advanced students preparing for auditions or conservatory exams. I teach in Italian, English, Chiinese, and German, making lessons accessible to students from many backgrounds.

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.

In my teaching, it is important to me to give my students the tools they need to become independent musicians: to know how to practice effectively, to further develop their sight-reading skills (which opens up a whole library of music), to recognize their own strengths and areas for improvement, and to build a solid foundation in music theory – insofar as it is relevant to their own piano playing.

A typical lesson looks like this: We start with a warm-up, review the week's practice, work on the current repertoire, and set clear goals for the coming week. My aim is to help my students learn new music with greater understanding and confidence.

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.

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.
