Want to learn piano,
From 76.65 C$ /h
I would like to teach you to learn to play the piano. Music is an indispensable thing in life, in my opinion.
The lessons will be in person at my home on location (online is possible in consultation) and the teaching method will be adapted to knowledge, technique and age. I can teach you technique as well as the fundamentals of music theory.
Of course it's a lot more fun if you can also just play your favorite pieces!
I believe that development of technique is better practiced by learning and applying it in actual pieces of music instead of exercise books of, for example, Alfred's piano method.
Some info about me:
I have been interested in classical music since my early teens. It's an incredibly important part of my life.
My private teachers were main study teacher of piano and organ Jelena Bazova from the Tilburg Conservatory, Canadian concert pianist Steven Massicotte and Helmond city organist Jan van de Laar.
I don't consider myself a soloist, as I had only been at the conservatory for a fairly short time, before going back to ICT and financing my concert grand piano.
Some examples of my (favorite) repertoire (both complete and works in progress):
* Bach WTK 1, Prelude 1 in C
* Bach WTK 1, Prelude 4 in C#m
* Bach WTK 1, Fugue 4 in C#m
* Bach WTK 1, Prelude 24 in Bm
* Bach WTK 1, Fugue 24 in Bm
* Bach Harpsichord Concerto BWV 1052 in Dm
* Chopin Ballades, no. 23.1 in Gm
* Chopin Ballades, no. 47.3 in Ab
* Chopin Scherzi, no. 39.3 in C#m
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 9.1 in Bbm
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 9.3 in B major
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 15.1 in F major
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 15.2 in F#m
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 32.1 in B major
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 48.2 in F#m
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 62.1 in B major
* Chopin Nocturnes, no. 72.1 posth. in Em
* Fauré Nocturnes, no. 33.1 in Ebm
* Poulenc, opera “Dialogues des Carmélites” accompaniment

Experience / Qualifications
The video you see on my profile is an improvisation.
My experience is about 18 years long. Of course, years do not necessarily express how qualitatively someone plays. I would therefore also like to mention: 18 years of experience with an effective study method.

Classes will be online for international students and in person (preferable, not a must) or online.
I teach all ages/levels; it is never too early or too late to start and this field of work, especially with the prominence of AI, has enormous potential for your career.
Of course I will adjust the way of teaching based on your knowledge background and age.
My job involves full-stack and Azure/Azure DevOps on a daily basis with the C# .NET stack, but these lessons are primarily designed to help you develop your abstraction skills, latest techniques, general practices, and, if a beginner, C# syntax.
The lessons can be named in time slots of 1 hour, but 1,5 or 2 hours is preferable as 1 hour usually is too short to cover enough in time. Time slots of more than 4 hours will not be done, even if desired, because the concentration of students will generally have dropped too much. After all, it is a lot of thinking.
Ideally, you take classes on a weekly basis so that the knowledge can be properly applied and it is not forgotten, but that is up to you.
