Inspiring piano lessons at my piano studio | For children and adults | For all levels

Hello!

I'm Richard from The Netherlands, and I offer piano lessons for children (7+), teenagers and adults of all levels.

I'm a certificated piano teacher and concert pianist with a Master of Arts diploma. (I have studies at the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam and the University of Arts in Berlin, among others).

I've got 20 years of experience in piano teaching. Over years I have taught both children and adults of all levels. Besides my activities as a piano teacher, I made numerous concert tours in several countries including France, Germany, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. I also won various prestigious piano competitions and was invited for master classes by world-famous pianists like Murray Perahia, Jacques Rouvier and Emanuel Ax, which took place in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw.

Students of all levels are welcome! I will teach you to read notes (if you haven't learned that yet), use different kinds of piano technique, develop your musicality and most importantly, enjoy to play this beautiful instrument.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or to schedule a lesson.

About Me

Hello, thank you for viewing my profile! I'm Richard from The Netherlands. I started playing the piano when I was 5 years old. I've always loved the instrument and I would like to inspire my students to enjoy playing the piano as much as I do myself. To express emotions through music has always been an important part of my piano playing as a performer on stage. And as a teacher I try to offer my students all the necessary "ingredients" and techniques to be able to achieve the musical interpretation they're searching for and to develop their musicality to a high level.

Education

where I studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory and graduated the Master of Music studies (pedagogy and performance). Later, I continued studying at the University of Music in Berlin.

Experience / Qualifications

During and after my studies I’ve taught piano lessons in Amsterdam for about 20 years (both private and in music schools) - which I have combined with concert tours in Europe and abroad.

Hello! My name is Mario and I am a 26 years old professional pianist and orchestra conductor. I am currently taking a master degree in the world famous conducting class of Professor Johannes Schlaefli and Christoph Mathias Müller at the Zhdk, Zürcher Hochschule der Künste. I hold two bachelor degrees, one in classical piano performance and the other in orchestra conducting, both from The Norwegian Academy of music in Oslo. More than 8 years of university high education in total. I also have plenty of experience teaching and I taught in Norway for 6 years in the public education system. This is what I offer: -Nice, professional and fun classes in piano for all levels and ages -Lessons in orchestra and windband conducting. All levels all ages. We can arrange ensemble practice with professional players. -Lessons in theory of music, orchestration, harmony, opera,pop and modern music theory... everything that you want to learn. -Lessons in English, Spanish, Norwegian or Scandinavian languages and german in some months, I am learning the language.

Jean-Luc
Music - Guitar and musical knowledge: music theory, harmony and style
Guitar lessons: the mandate of guitar teacher is defined by the fact of being methodical, that is to say having an exact knowledge of the specifications: practice of playing with both hands, musical reading, knowledge of music theory , harmony... so many criteria which also participate in an encounter, that between the person who proposes and the one who wishes to emancipate themselves through an instrument specific to individual expression.

Vincent
Intensive music theory lessons (rhythms in reading and dictation, reading of keys)
Music theory lessons, for children (from 9 years old) and adults. Passionate about music theory and music theory, I would be happy to share with you my enthusiasm for music theory, so unfairly devalued, due to the sometimes brutal methods with which it is taught. In the program : - reading notes (treble clefs, C clefs, F clefs) - reading rhythms (quarter notes, eighth notes, double / triple / quadruple eighth notes, triplets and other dotted notes) - dictation of notes (training your ear takes time, but when the exercises are "tailor-made" and progressive, you progress faster) - dictation of rhythms Do not hesitate to tell me the context of your request (competition preparation, repurposing of instruments, exams, etc.). The course durations offered are deliberately short to encourage maximum concentration. It will be essential to prepare the exercises offered between classes, to progress in a way that gives you satisfaction and nourishes your motivation. Classes available in English as well.

Learning how to play piano with me not just about a skill you are going to master with me. It is about passion, love and discovering your new talents from a completely different perspective.

Amelie
Beginner piano lessons for children in Zürich Area!
I have been playing the piano for 12 years and started teaching beginners (mostly younger children) 4 years ago. My goal is to find more young and excited students to pass the gift of music onto. Learning and attempting to master an instrument is an amazing privilege and I want to share it with more students. My lessons are enjoyable and educational involving both bookwork and some improvisational fun!

Mike
Alternative Piano Lessons: Learn by ear and have fun!
I teach Piano in a fun, laid-back and casual way, always structuring my lessons around the students' needs and tastes. Please note: I specifically do not teach piano with notations or scores of any sort. My method of teaching is based on playing by ear, with emphasis on the music and the joy in playing it, rather than the theory. Notation is great and theory is important - I studied these myself; however, I have found that learning an instrument by ear is a far deeper, enjoyable and progressive way to get to know your instrument. I also place importance on technique and memorization, again tailoring these to the needs and wishes of the student. My methods have proven very successful and I'm confident your playing will improve quickly! I teach both children and adults, teenagers and grandparents :-) Maybe you already play, but would like some help improving your improvisational skills? Or perhaps you are a complete beginner and just want to find out, if this instrument is for you? Get in touch! Some background to my instruments: Piano: I initially taught myself the piano and took lessons later on. My main or favourite styles on the piano are: Blues & Boogie Woogie, Traditional Jazz, Rock n' Roll, Pop and Soul. I love many forms of Classical music as well. Guitar: I taught myself guitar as a kid and play both acoustic and electric. My favourite styles on the guitar are, on the one hand, heavy Rock, Metal and Punk, and on the other gentle Jazz, Blues and ballads :-) Drums: this became my main gigging instrument between '10 and '20. I mostly focus on funky grooves, hard Rock or Metal, Pop, Jazz, Swing; some rudiments, lots of grooves :-)
