Looking for a piano teacher who truly moves you forward? A concert musician with the Cembalo Magisterium and a parallel organ education, over 30 years of teaching experience, and students worldwide, live via Zoom, fully tailored to your level and your repertoire.
Why is this piano teacher different?
Most piano teachers follow a fixed method book, regardless of whether you want to play classical, pop, jazz, or film music. This teaching goes the opposite way: your chosen repertoire determines the technique exercises. You learn posture, hand position, touch, chord theory, and interpretation exactly where your music needs them.
| Your goal | How lessons work |
|---|
| Absolute beginner | Posture, first chords, a first song within weeks |
| Returning player | Builds on earlier knowledge, without frustration |
| Advanced | Interpretation, voicing, demanding concert repertoire |
| Pop & jazz | Chords, lead sheets, improvisation, accompaniment |
| Classical | Articulation, tone colour, fidelity to the work |
Why can you trust this teacher?
The difference between a trained concert musician and a marketplace teacher shows up mainly in the depth of training and the ability to tailor technique to your repertoire, rather than working through a generic standard curriculum.
