Groovy, dynamic lessons in Jazz Piano, Music Theory and/or Music Production In English or Spanish (Klavier, Jazz, Musik Theorie, Produktion)

In my experience over the past few years as a piano teacher to students of all levels and ages, I have found that people learn so much more when they are able to express themselves and have a fun time from the very first lesson.

For this reason I focus on teaching piano and music through the lens of jazz, which allows for so much freedom as well as being really educational in all different styles of music. In my classes you will learn how music really works in a relevant way by studying music that you yourself enjoy listening to and would like to create, and practice dynamically using tools like backing tracks which make it feel like there is a band in the room with you!

I also produce electronic/funk/neo soul music for my solo project and as a session musician. If learning music production interests you, I can also help you with that!

I am happy to teach in my house in the 7th district or as well I can come to you.

Please don't hesitate to be in touch. Thanks!

About Me

I am a musician from Australia and have lived as well in Mexico and Europe, now I am based in Vienna. I have worked as a piano teacher and been playing gigs for the past three years, and have almost ten years experience as a teacher in other fields. I first started singing, studying music and playing instruments (piano, clarinet, saxophone) when I was nine.

In my experience I have found that students learn so much more when they are able to express themselves and have a fun time from the first lesson. For this reason I focus on teaching piano and music through the lens of jazz, which allows for so much freedom as well as being really educational in all different styles of music.

I also work as a music producer, ghost writer and session musician. I work with a couple of bands and also have a solo project.

Please don't hesitate to be in touch. Thanks!

Amazing lessons full of fun, tailored to my individual needs and musical genre from very beginning. Strong focus to teach me how to play by ear, which will give me freedom to join the others in their jamming. Theoretical part is explained very pragmaticaly and in a smart enjoyable way. It’s easy to connect the dots to what we are playing and how I can improvise further based on that knowledge. Jon is very kind and easy going person, I’m so lucky to have him as my teacher. I recommend him to anyone, no matter if you are a complete beginner or an advanced player.
good stuff
Jon takes his time and addresses your individual needs. He makes sure that you leave the lesson feeling good and motivates you. I can recommend him.

Piano lessons in Vienna - For Beginners and Advanced
I am a pianist from Italy, currently based in Vienna, offering private piano lessons in my studio in the 5th district. Are you looking for a teacher supporting you in your musical path and dreams? Teaching has always been one of my greatest passions. I love to listen to my students, assist them to face any challenge, help them finding their own path, and ultimately pass onto them my passion for Music. My commitment in the field of education is mainly aimed at young professional musicians. My international experience has provided me with the tools to prepare them for international competitions, admissions to Academies and Schools of Higher Education, Conservatories and Universities, supporting and encouraging them to pursue their dreams. I am deeply grateful to my teachers especially Lilya Zilberstein, Riccardo Zadra, Mariagrazia Bellocchio, Stefania Redaelli, Naum Grubert and Roberto Plano. I truly believe Music has the power to enrich and empower people's lives, whether you are a beginner and you always wanted to learn how to play an instrument and if you are a professional musician willing to improve your musicianship skills. I would be happy to accompany you on this journey. The lessons can be in Italian or English. Looking forward to meeting you! Anna

Carl
Piano Lessons for Music Lovers and Time-Starved Professionals
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

My name is Yuxin and I teach adults and kids in Vienna. Piano is my passion! I put great emphasis on correct methodology, technique and music theory, enabling my students to be able to read notes and learn new pieces themselves after a few months. At the same time, fun and enjoyment of music play a big role in my approach towards teaching. All my students, who want to learn the piano and have the possibility and drive to practice regularly, are certain to see results within just a few sessions with me. For more details, please contact me with your questions directly. Have a good day!

Trained musician and vocal coach offers individual singing lessons adapted to your voice! Long singing makes you hoarse? Are you out of breath while singing? Does singing exhaust you? Your voice could be more flexible (riffs / runs)? Does your singing voice sound unnatural? Would you like to change your sound in a healthy way or adapt it to a certain genre? Are you just interested in what happens anatomically when you sing? No matter what your motivation, I can help you with a few simple rules to develop a sustainable practice concept - adapted to your voice! Since I have dealt with various singing schools (speech level singing, CVT, powervoice, functional voice training) and have already been able to help many students with a wide variety of problems, I can fall back on a wide range of tips and tricks to help you too!

Victoria
Attention, piano enthusiasts, beginners - piano course for young pianists
This course is intended for piano enthusiasts, curious and slightly advanced pianists. The goal is to learn a basic understanding and feeling for playing the piano in order to ultimately be able to master simple to moderately difficult pieces without problems. I myself already enjoyed a twelve-year classical education at the music school and therefore have a comprehensive understanding of my instrument and the associated music theory. In past years I also played percussion instruments such as drums and am currently practicing playing the violin. I'm happy for you!

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
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.

Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)
