Piano Lessons in Berlin by a German native speaker

From 99.94 C$ /h

(German version further down)

I enjoy teaching because it requires a deeper knowledge of the material than if one is only performing music. I am continuously learning too.
I do not think that it is important how old you are or in what environment you grew up.
To engage with music as a result of learning an instrument can bring your brain into a healthy state of ongoing change.
People who are "without any talent" for music do not exist. Everyone can engage with music and enjoy it.

I can teach piano:
- involving sheet music or not, depending on what you prefer.
- or/and music theory lessons
- or/and improvisation
- or/and Jazz
- or/and Ear Training
- or/and Composition.

The lessons can be held in English or German or a mixture of both.
I teach close to Friedrichstraße in Berlin. The lessons can be done via Skype too.

You can read about me as a performing musician here:
Julius (*1995) is a German pianist and composer, graduated from the University of Arts Berne in Switzerland in 2017 with honors.
In July 2019 he finished his Masters in the European Jazz Masters Program through the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen with exchange semesters in Berlin and Amsterdam.
Throughout his studies, he was lucky enough to receive artistic guidance from Colin Vallon, Django Bates, Harmen Fraanje, Simon Toldam, Peter Bruun, Greg Cohen, and Michael Moore.
Julius was granted a scholarship by Lyra Stiftung Zürich in 2015 and 2016. Tours with his own bands have been supported by different fundings from Switzerland and Germany.
He performed all across Europe during the past years.

German:

When teaching, it's important to have a deeper understanding of everything than when "just" making music. I'm always learning as a teacher.
It doesn't matter how old you are or whether you grew up in a music-rich or music-poor environment. Engaging with music can put our brains into a healthy state of constant change and growth.
There are no people who are "talentedless" when it comes to music. Everyone can engage with music and enjoy it.

I offer lessons with or without sheet music, depending on your preference. If you're interested, I also teach music theory, improvisation, jazz, ear training, and composition.

Classes are held in German or English, or a mixture of both. I teach near Friedrichstrasse in Berlin. Classes can also be held via Skype.

Here is an insight into my musical work:

About Me

Julius, born 1995, is a german composer, producer, pianist and singer. He studied jazz piano 2014-2017 at University of the Arts, Berne. 2017-2019 he was enrolled in the European Jazz Master Programme at Rytmisk Musik Konservatorium in Copenhagen with exchange semesters at Jazz Institut Berlin and Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Since 2015 Julius received several scholarships from Lyra Foundation Zurich, Musikfonds, Deutscher Musikrat, deutsche Orchesterstiftung & Berliner Senat. Deutschlandfunk wrote about his music: "exciting and very colorful music (...) Lyrical, fragile moods blend beautifully with powerful, energetic passages“. From 2021 - 2023, Julius co-curated the concert series "lit" at Donau115 in Berlin with Leipzig-based bassist Robert Lucaciu.

Julius is interested in creating genre-bending music. He draws influences from contemporary black american music, songwriters, feminist writers, electronic musicians & classical composers alike.
He leads the band immerweiter, playing his original music and performs new classical music (Rihm, Chai, Schönberg) with the duo alle bilder with singer Friederike Merz. He also works as a sideman in a variety of different projects.
In the summer of 2023 he released a solo album of electronic music, entitled "what am i doing w my life". In his instrumental compositions he focuses on different polyrhythmic structures & a consequent abolition of hierarchies within the band. In his electronic music he focuses on the use of various alternate tuning systems and textural explorations.

Over the last years he has played at prestigious venues such as HAU Hebbel am Ufer & KM28 in Berlin, Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, Schwere Reiter and Unterfahrt in Munich, Birds Eye in Basel, Dokkhuset in Trondheim, Bimhuis in Amsterdam and at festivals such as Leipziger Jazztage, Kunst am Bauen Festival Zurich, Jazzfestival Copenhagen, Mlada Praha Festival & Fusion Festival.

“Proof there's still plenty of innovation left out there” - Midwest Record

“It seems that Julius is spearheading a very personal new Jazz stream. (...) he is certainly one of the bright young European musicians worth following closely”

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.

My name is Tomasz, I have been a guitarist (also a composer and singer) for 30 years and have also been a guitar teacher for over 25 years.

Due to the current situation, I offer you online guitar lessons via Skype. I have a lot of experience teaching via Skype and a lot of happy students.

Many are surprised to see that grasping and plucking can be perceived better and learned faster via Skype. How is that possible?
It happens thanks to the fact that I use three cameras. They are set so that the perspective of seeing changes. The student sees the guitar on the screen from the same perspective from which he sees his own guitar.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Tomasz

Hello, my name is Oscar and I am a Violin and Piano teacher from the UK, now living in Bristol, after several years of living abroad.

I've been teaching and performing on both instruments for 5 years, during, and after my studies at the Royal Northern College of Music. I have taught children from the age of four, up to adults in their late sixties, and I find all spectrums of age and ability rewarding and engaging to work with. Regarding Violin tuition, I am happy to teach up to any level. On the piano, I, however, currently prefer to teach up to an ABRSM grade 8 level, and not far above it.
My musical endeavors, whilst focused predominantly on the Classical style in my early childhood, have become quite varied and I am a great lover of many different styles. I play regularly in Klezmer bands, Celtic Folk groups and I run a Gypsy Jazz Collective, besides performing with Orchestra's, Small string ensembles, and as a Solo Violinist.
Whilst I wouldn't consider myself to be an expert, I thoroughly enjoy guiding people through the early stages of learning to improvise, and I am equally comfortable working with students in this way as I am teaching in a more traditional, classically-orientated manner.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Oscar

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.

Playing music and expressing yourself through an instrument is something that everyone can do! I believe in music being an inclusive and attainable skill no matter your experience. I have a passion for both teaching and playing the bassoon and flute, and believe in creating a positive and exciting environment for students. I have 10+ years experience as a flute and bassoon tutor across multiple schools in Sydney and London, and have recently moved to Berlin. I am able to teach in English only.

I work as a freelance bassoonist in London and Berlin, and have worked with major orchestras such as the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Berlin Philharmonic Karajan Akademie and the Orchestral of the Royal Opera House, London. I graduated with a Master’s degree from Guildhall School of music and drama, London.

My teaching experience is extensive. I have taught students between the ages of 3-30. I have worked 1:1 with students, and have had lots of experience with groups of up to 40 students across many instruments. I have put many students through practical musical exams and highly encourage them if desired. My students have a 100% success rate in their exams.

As I am currently a performer, teacher and student myself, I am very aware of the balance between hard work and having fun. I believe the best way to create a successful musical journey is through a positive and encouraging environment, where students can develop their skills and take risks without fear! I also take highly into account the individuality of students and their desires, so make sure to adjust my approach as suited.

If you would like to learn the flute and/or bassoon just for fun, you are welcome. If you would like to further develop your musical skills, I offer lessons for competitions, school exams, as well as auditions in orchestras or conservatories.

Dear music lovers,
I am a concert pianist and piano teacher and offer piano lessons with home visits.

I think it is important to see music studies as a complex education in close relationship with other arts. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, with the diverse and deep insight into the world of classical music you will feel freer and, what's more, be able to express yourself much better. I use a mixture of the classical Russian piano school, European heritage and the individual repertoire selection that is unique for each student.
For these reasons, I teach young people from about 15 years of age with no upper age limit.

Give yourself the chance to spread your possibilities!

Let's learn music theory at your own pace! Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your existing knowledge, my Music Theory for All Levels course is designed to be flexible. I've taught many topics, from the basics of reading music, college level ear-training, Renaissance and Baroque counterpoint, Classical harmonic analysis, Jazz harmony, and 20th century techniques.

We’ll use your prefered music and instruments (or voice!) to make the learning process relevant and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner, a performer looking to refine your knowledge, or a composer aiming for a deeper dive, this course is for everyone.

Would you like to learn the drums or further develop your skills? I offer individual drum lessons for beginners and advanced players in Berlin Wedding – fun, systematic, and musically profound.
I am a trained jazz drummer (Bachelor of Music, HfMT Hamburg, final grade 1.0), taught for many years at the Neumünster Music School (Schleswig-Holstein) and was a lecturer for percussion major at the Academy of the Hamburg Conservatory for one year.
In my lessons, the joy of making music is paramount – regardless of skill level. I place particular emphasis on preparing my students as best as possible for playing with others, because it's in an ensemble that the percussion instrument truly shines.

This is how the lesson works:

* For beginners, I work on basic instrumental skills using songs. I also include exercises on rhythm, music reading, and technique—always tailored to the student's musical preferences.
* I support advanced students in developing technical and coordination skills, in stylistic refinement and in improvisation.
* Private lessons in Berlin-Wedding or as a home visit: I teach in my room near Seestraße subway station or, if you wish, I can come to your home (Wedding and surrounding areas).

These guitar classes are taught in English and are tailored to your individual goals, level, and musical taste. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an intermediate player looking to improve technique and confidence, the lessons are designed to be practical, structured, and enjoyable.

We’ll focus on building a strong foundation while playing real music from the start. Lessons can include chords, strumming, fingerstyle, scales, rhythm, timing, music theory explained simply, and learning songs you actually want to play. If you’re interested in songwriting, improvisation, or understanding how music works on the guitar, those areas can also be explored.

Each class is adapted to your pace and interests, with clear exercises and guidance so you know exactly what to practice between lessons. The aim is not just to play songs, but to help you become an independent guitarist who understands the instrument and enjoys playing it.

Classes are suitable for adults and older teens, and can be held online or in person. No previous experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to play
