Hello there!

Do you wish to learn to play the piano but do not have several hours every day to dedicate to practicing? I can help! With 15 years of teaching experience, I’ve honed my methods to facilitate rapid progress and maximize efficiency. My students achieve in months, what usually takes years when following a conventional music school program. Nonetheless, I am not taking any shortcuts. On the contrary, one of the reasons why my students progress so fast is my insistence on building solid fundamentals. I strive for my students to master the necessary tools for them to then achieve their own personal ambitions.

Having observed the practice routines of professionals and university students worldwide, I've realized that there's often much time to be gained during practice. Realizing everyone's personnality, approach, affinities and tastes are different, I prioritize a personalized approach tailored to your individual learning style. Together, we'll make the most of our sessions, whether you're a beginner diving into music or an intermediate player seeking to enhance your skills. And guess what? You won't need to practice for hours on end to see significant improvement. With regular lessons, even just 15 minutes of practice three times a week can lead to enormous progress. As I often say, the learning process is more akin to a marathon than a sprint.

While efficiency is important, I believe that learning should be fun and inspiring. In my lessons, you can expect a supportive and encouraging environment. I'll be there with you every step of the way, celebrating your achievements and helping you overcome any challenges that arise. Together, we'll create a positive and empowering learning experience.

Ready to embark on your fast and efficient piano learning journey? Contact me to schedule lessons and get ready for a rewarding musical adventure! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Carl

About Me
I am Carl, a Canadian pianist of Chinese origin. My musical journey began at the age of eleven when I started taking piano lessons. I received my initial training at the University of Montreal and the Haute École de Musique de Genève. Over the years, I have developed a deep passion for song interpretation, which has led me to explore self-study with remarkable success. In fact, this dedication brought me to the finals of the Lied Duo category at the Mahler Competition in Geneva in 2018.

Motivated by my love for music, I decided to further my studies in Vienna. Currently, I am pursuing song accompaniment at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, guided by the esteemed Prof. Justus Zeyen. Throughout my musical journey, I have had the privilege of learning from renowned teachers such as Marc Durand, Roy Howat, Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Anne Le Bozec, David Lutz, Anne Queffélec, Jacques Rouvier, and Dang Thai Son.

I have been fortunate enough to showcase my talents through numerous recitals in Switzerland, Canada, and Austria. The recognition of my hard work and dedication has resulted in receiving various scholarships, awards, and honors. Multiple times, I have been selected as a finalist in the Canadian Music Competition, and in 2015, I proudly secured the 1st prize at the Clermont-Pépin Competition. Most recently, my research on Franz Schubert, part of my doctoral dissertation, earned me the esteemed Globalink Grant from the Canadian MITACS program.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passion professionally and am looking forward to sharing my passion!

Composition is hard to define and is by no means limited to one particular style or genre. Our meetings would provide a framework and the context for you to delve deeper into your chosen ideas and creations.

As well as composition, I am able to assist you with music theory, ear training, piano and general musicianship. I plan my lessons individually and orientate myself towards your goals. Whether you want to create a Bach fugue or a new single for your EDM album, I would be there to support your stylistic decisions.

I offer theoretical and practical lessons about composition, producing and music theory in any genre. Do you wish to understand the music you love and get a new appreciation for it?

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 can tell you that in my lessons you can expect a friendly and warm atmosphere, attention to detail, and an individualized approach. Some come to me to "try out" their voice and to understand and feel it. Others want to work through inner blockages or tension in their body and express this through their voice. And still others simply enjoy the lessons.

I am always open to your ideas and wishes regarding singing. My teaching method is based on my own experience – some things I have adopted from my wonderful teachers, some I have developed myself in the course of my work, and some things arise spontaneously in the moment.

If what I'm saying resonates with you, I warmly invite you to my lessons. Your prior knowledge or experience is irrelevant – together we will discover your voice and bring out new facets of its potential.

Practical, structured piano lessons for children, teenagers and adults — from first notes to advanced repertoire.

We’ll work on:

healthy technique, sound and musical phrasing

reading skills (sight-reading), rhythm and coordination

music theory and ear training (as needed)

efficient practice habits and clear weekly goals

exam preparation (ABRSM / Trinity), auditions and performance confidence

Lessons can be classical-focused, mixed-style, or aimed at specific short-term goals (a piece, an exam, an audition, a recital). I can also help with collaboration skills for singers/instrumentalists and accompaniment preparation.

My lessons are especially for you if you want to achieve freedom and ease at the piano.

As a composer, I develop my ideas through improvisation at the piano, which, trained through technique and knowledge, allows for a free discovery of one's own music.
So you not only learn to play your favorite songs, but also to understand them and to come up with similar ones yourself.

The lessons are completely flexible, and the focus is on fun and discovery. We can learn to play from sheet music or by ear. We can include harmony, rhythm, and ear training – whatever you prefer.

It is also possible to focus on only one of these areas if you want to prepare for an entrance exam or something similar [rhythm and ear training].
