Piano lessons for children and adults. Learn music with joy!

From 60 € /h

Dear music lovers,

my name is Itxaso and I am a pianist.

I have many years of experience as a piano teacher and have also developed an individual approach here. For me, the lessons are above all an option for learners to try out new things and to experiment with them, regardless of their age. It is particularly important to me to create a pleasant teaching atmosphere and to build a trusting relationship with my students.

Would you like to play the piano and are you looking for private piano lessons? Then you are exactly right here!

Whether piano for beginners, the entrance exam at a music college, perfecting existing knowledge or as a hobby: Above all, it is a great pleasure to be able to play a musical instrument. It takes discipline and work, but it is very enriching and a lot of fun.

I would be very happy to hear from you!

With musical regards,

Itxaso

Extra information

Born in 1986 into a musical family, the versatile pianist Itxaso developed a wide range of musical styles at a young age - from classical to contemporary music to cross-style directions.
At the age of seven, Itxaso received piano lessons from her mother and later from other musicians in her hometown of Pamplona (Spain). At the same time, she began to learn the double bass for ten years. At the “Centro Superior de música del País Vasco” (Musicians), San Sebastian, the musician received her bachelor's degree in piano from Marta Zabaleta and Miguel Borges. She then completed her Master of Music in Piano with Paul Komen at the Prince Claus Conservatoire, Groningen (Netherlands) with the highest distinction.
Together with her group Sonos Quintet, Itxaso won the prize of the Spanish chamber music competition “Acordes Caja Madrid” in 2007 (Brahms Piano Quintet op. 34). A full scholarship from the “Ampliación de estudios artísticos - Navarra” (2010-2013) supported her for several years in continuing her piano career.
Itxaso has performed internationally as a soloist and as a member of chamber music ensembles and various orchestras in Japan, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles, Belgium and Germany. Her recent venues include the Mayor's House (Essen-Werden), “Carmina Burana” in the Cologne Philharmonic, Beethoven Festival (Bonn), Ruhr Piano Festival “ExtraSchicht” (Bochum), Klangzeit (Münster), and the International Festival for Sound Art (Trier ), Now Festival (Essen), Peter de Grote Festival (Groningen) and TASTE_this piano is not prepared_2019 (Cologne). She has played with the NJO Symphony Orchestra and the Bochum Symphony Orchestra and was a participant in the Ensemble Recherche Akademie (Freiburg) and the Ensemble Kuraia (Bilbao). She has worked with Ensemble S201 and Broken Frames Syndicate.
Itxaso has a Masters in New Music at the Folkwang University of the Arts, Essen, in the class of
Benjamin Kobler, Barbara Maurer and Günter Steinke graduated with top marks.
This year she is planning a CD debut with recordings of virtuoso works for violin and piano (Lorca Duo).

Hello, I’m a franco-Peruvian singer, living in Wuppertal.
I teach singing for all ages and levels at my place in Wuppertal Elberfeld and I can also come to yours if you’re residing in the region. I’m also offering Skype/Zoom lessons, with which I’ve had incredible success. I can teach in my maternal languages french, spanish and english as well as german of course.

I have a long experience as a choir conductor for primary school children as well as private teacher for young adults and people wanting to discover their voices and get a healthy, solid technique.
I have also specialised in people who had issues singing in tune, and have had great success with solving those issues in just a few lessons.

I would be delighted to hear from you!

I can give you fun lessons on playing the trombone and understanding music theory. Music is a language that helps us express our feelings and connect with others. It doesn't matter how old you are, if you're interested, I can help you learn and achieve your goals! Here are some things you'll learn:

- The basics of how music works in a fun way.

- We'll talk about having a daily routine for practising and choose one that works for you.

- I'll teach you scales, arpeggios, and different play styles.

- We'll listen to and explore various music genres like classical, jazz, blues, and pop.

- You'll gain confidence in playing the trombone with others.

- Don't worry about learning too fast or slow, we'll go at a comfortable pace.

- We can also discuss stage fright and how to overcome it.

And much more!

I've been making music for 25 years and have played in a lot of bands and still do. (e.g. Selectamood, Leik Eick, the Freedes, Pinokelmannproductions etc.)
If you don't have any experience, we'll just start over.

Otherwise we will find something suitable for everyone interested.

Dear music lovers, welcome to piano lessons!

I am a professional pianist and harpsichordist and offer piano lessons for all age groups. The lessons take place at my home in Essen-Werden.

For adults and adolescents:
Together we will play classical music, pop, lounge, film music or any other genre you like. You will learn to read music, play your favorite tunes by ear, improve your piano technique and learn the basics of music theory - all in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere that I guarantee.

For children:
Your child will learn to play well-known children's songs that they may already know from kindergarten. We will also rehearse well-known classical pieces and songs with your child that they hear at school and would like to learn to play on the piano. The lessons are playful, so your child will never get bored! Playful exercises for ear training, rhythm training and piano technique are an integral part of every lesson.

My lessons include:
✔ Ear and rhythm exercises
✔ Piano technique and dexterity
✔ Developing your favorite pieces
✔ Basics of music theory

An absolutely unique offer – harpsichord lessons! For everyone who wants to immerse themselves in the music of the Baroque period and play piano works from this era on the instrument for which they were originally composed.

I look forward to discovering the wonderful world of music together with you or your child! ✨
