Piano lessons jazz/ classical/ beginner (EN/ DE) from award-winning British pianist
As a teacher I enjoy guiding my students down a wide variety of musical paths. Whether it's advanced classical pieces, harmonic concepts, an introduction to improvisation, favourite Joni Mitchell songs or teaching beginners to read music for the first time, I enjoy the variety and find it highly rewarding. I always encourage my students to pursue their individual musical interests, at the same time as bringing my own ideas and experience to the table.
I teach all ages and abilities, on Mondays and Tuesdays (other days by arrangement) at my practice space near Bergmannkiez (Berlin-Kreuzberg). Discounts for people on a low-income/students can be discussed.
I look forward to hearing from you!

100% Personalized Drum lessons / Personalisierter SchlagzeugunterrichtThrough time I have found out that starting by playing songs chosen by the student and creating exercises to practice that came out from the drums of that song is a very good way to learn how to play the instrument. Also keeps things interesting, since music is always the focus. I can help to choose the songs, but the student is always who decides which songs to play. This way, lessons become 100% personalized!
I have +10 years of experience as a teacher, and I'm an active musician in the Berlin modern jazz, creative music and improvised music scenes.
Obtained my bachelor's degree in the Manuel de Falla Music Conservatory in Buenos Aires (ARG) and the European Jazz Master degree at NTNU Trondheim, RMC Copenhagen and JIB Berlin.

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.
If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.
Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
