Über mich

My name is Javier, I come from the south of Spain and I have been composing, playing and teaching music professionally for the last 10 years. I graduated in Contemporary Music Composition with a postgraduate master's degree in Popular Music at Goldsmiths University in London.

I have recorded several albums of my own music, and participated in countless international projects as a songwriter, pianist or arranger. As a music tutor, I love guiding my students in the process of becoming proficient musicians, helping them to communicate their feelings and ideas musically and artistically and to offer a supportive environment where they can test their songs and begin a journey of self-discovery through music!

I have different kind of lessons:

1. Face-to-face lessons of modern singing

Modern singing: technique, improvisation and repertoire
The face-to-face classes take place at a studio in Prenzlauer Berg and are mainly aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music. They have a duration of 50 minutes.

In singing classes, breathing and vocal technique are worked through warm-up exercises, always with the aim of working the voice in a healthy and correct way. My classes are mainly focused on the repertoire of the student’s preferred style, which can be pop, soul, jazz, blues, bossa nova, tango and bolero, among others. Each style is worked differently and with the appropriate resources to lead to a good interpretation.

Both for warm-up and repertoire I usually accompany the student on the piano. Depending on the style sometimes I may work with karaokes. I also teach a good use of the microphone, to fight stage panic and to enjoy a performance on stage. The singing lessons are aimed at people of any level, from beginners to advanced, even to someone who is preparing an exam for an upper grade of modern music.

My main objective is above all that the student feels motivated, and not under pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons.

2. Initiation to piano: modern harmony and auditory education

The piano lessons are aimed primarily at beginners. My intention is mainly to prepare my piano students so that they can later develop a more advanced style with a teacher whose main instrument is the piano. For this, I start with basic exercises for a good hand technique and with simple songs so that the student learns to read music. For those who already have a basic level, I start directly with scales and chords, mostly focusing on teaching songs in modern harmony. The main objective is the motivation of the student, avoiding pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons.

3. Modern singing on-line lessons

Modern singing on-line classes: technique, improvisation and repertoire
Like face-to-face classes, online lessons last 50 minutes. They are also aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music and find virtual classes more comfortable, for whatever reason.

The lessons are given through a virtual meeting app, either Jitsi or Zoom. They are similar to those in the classroom, with the difference that a little more time is devoted to the repertoire than to the technique.

I consider of great importance that the student enjoys the lessons also in this case and does not lose motivation.

ENGLISH-SPEAKING PIANO TUTOR

I teach adults of all levels!

I often mentor people who are just starting out, helping them develop their interest in the instrument and play the music they love.

A lot of students come in with anxiety about how good or fast they're going to be able to learn. I work to build a respectful, supportive environment where you feel comfortable developing and learning at your own pace.

For intermediate and advanced students, I teach with a particular focus on fundamental technique through études, and developing musicality.

Oftentimes, as hobbyists, we have holes from our early studies that prevent us from developing later in life. My aim is to help correct that. You should leave with renewed confidence to tackle pieces that have intimidated or eluded you in the past.

I hope to teach you soon!

Hello there,
I am a professional composer living in Berlin. I hold a Master's and a Bachelor's degree in Composition from the conservatory of Utrecht in the Netherlands. I write for orchestras, ensembles and theater and I have had commissions from the Athens State Orchestra, the International Ensemble Modern Academy and the Gaudeamus Festival among others.

Since 10 years I have been teaching students of any age (kids, adults) and level the following Subjects:
-Composition / Songwriting
-Music Theory
-Advanced Rhythm
-Music Production / Music Software (Sibelius, Logic)
I am open to any combination of the above subjects :-)

I always try to adapt to each student, his/her level and most importantly his/her needs. We can take the long road of music theory or focus on the project you are working on now, in a way that can help you now.

I can teach in English and German and the lesson can be at my place, your place, or via webcam.

I offer piano lessons for children (from 7 years), teenagers and adults (no age limit). For beginners I use the Bastian piano school as basic material. I also offer music theory. This makes it easier to read music and you get a better understanding of the music. Additional material for technique (finger strength of foam for beginners and intermediate levels) is also offered if required.

Hello there!

My name is Sara and I'm a classical pianist and piano teacher. I have been a pianist for about 15 years and started teaching it a while ago as well. I offer lessons in 3 different languages ( English, Arabic and German) for both beginner and intermediate levels.

I believe music should be enjoyed and comfortably played, allowing people to both connect with it and understand while challenging them to express themselves in new and different ways. Music lessons are fun and will be set to make the student confident and comfortable in their playing. If any student needs extra time or space to feel secure and safe, I will offer as much understanding and security as I can.
Trust is my number one motto, if for any reason a student feels pressured or uncomfortable they can come and talk to me directly and we shall figure out a way to make music learning fun and enjoyable for them.

I'd like to think of myself as someone who truly enjoys making a good change in the world and who tries to offer the best possible experience when getting to know the instrument and how to play it and I hope you find the trust in me to sign up for my class!

Thank you and have a lovely day

I started teaching piano by chance – to refugees. That's when I realized how powerful music can be in supporting people. Over the years, teaching has become something I truly cherish. I continue to work as an artist, and music and art remain my greatest passions. But the moments I share with my students have become just as meaningful. I've been able to build connections with people in ways I never expected, and I see this work as a way to contribute to a better world.
Most of my students are adults. Some played as children and are starting again, others are complete beginners; some are advanced and want to delve deeper. In lessons, we work not only on technique but also on musical understanding: reading what's "in" the score, developing interpretation, and experiencing music as a living language—not just as dots on a piece of paper. I also enjoy teaching children and accompanying their growth over a longer period. Seeing how music supports their development always moves me deeply.
Come by and see if it's right for you. If you're curious, just write to me. For me, music is a tool for self-development and connection.

Portuguese

Come to the piano at the same time, with people in refuge. Percebi like a music pode ser poderosa para judar as pessoas. When you pass the old ones, you can see how valuable it is in depth. Continuo trabalhando as artista, e musica e arte seguem sendo minhas maiores paixões. These moments are very significant. Consegui criar conexões com as pessoas de um jeito que eu nunca imaginei, e vejo esse trabalho as uma forma de contribuir para um mundo melhor.
A maioria dos meus alunos é adultsa. Alguns tocaram when children and is voltando, outros são iniciantes do zero; Alguns are already advanced and have a professional background. Nas aulas, trabalhamos not apenas a técnica, mas também a compreensão musical: ler o que está “dentro” da partitura, desenvolver interpretação e live a música como uma linguagem viva — não apenas pontos no papel. Também gosto de ensinar crianças e acompanhar seu crescimento ao longo do tempo. Ver como a musica apoia or desenvolvimento delas é semper emociónante.
Venha experimentar e ver se faz sentido para você. If you are curious, this is what I want to say. Para mim, a music and a ferramenta de autodesenvolvimento e conexão.

I've been able to build connections with people in a way I never expected, and I see this work as a way of contributing to a better world.

Most of my students are adults. Some played as children and are returning, others are complete beginners; some are advanced and want to go deeper. In lessons, we work not only on technique, but also on musical understanding: reading what is “inside” the score, developing interpretation, and experiencing music as a living language, not just dots on a page. I also enjoy teaching children and accompanying their growth over time. Watching how music supports their development is always moving.

Come and see if it feels right for you. If you're curious, just send me a message. For me, music is a tool for self-development and connection.

Experienced and certificated piano teacher. Learn with fun and innovative method through improvisation from the first lesson. Whatever style you choose (classical, jazz, contemporary etc), I can help you in an organized, step-by-step manner so that your keyboard skills improve at the same time that you gain new knowledge. Don't forget playing music has to be fun all the time!

Internationally active composer and music theorist (M.Mus) currently accepting students for the following subjects (online sessions):
-Music theory (basic to college level), including harmony, counterpoint, analysis
-Western music history (medieval to contemporary), music appreciation
-Composition, music notation (software + score preparation), electronic music, university application portfolio feedback and general application advising
-English (for academic writing)

Are you stuck? I can help!

In our composition lessons, we’ll both learn how to get more from basic elements, like pitch and rhythm, and also the things we can do to help make a composition more poetic. We can work on how to get more music from fewer ideas to create a consistent musical language, and also explore the idea of opposites in your compositions, blending and smearing contrasting elements to add depth and complexity to your work.

Through the analysis of great music, the composition of miniatures, and feedback on your current projects, you’ll both increase your technical fluency and simultaneously learn to love and develop your unique voice. This class is for any level of composer, whether you're a beginner or an experienced composer seeking to enhance your creative skills. Don't wait any longer :)

Or improving your speaking skills in Georgian and Russian languages from a native speaker?

I offer personalized lessons for beginners to advanced students, who want to grow artistically or academically.

What I teach:

Music Composition – guidance with structure, harmony, orchestration, notation, and creative development.
Sound Art / Experimental Music – sound exploration, field recording, editing, conceptual work, and project coaching.

Music Lessons – Harmony, Improvisation & Ear Training
(Berlin – in person)

I am a musician and music teacher based in Berlin.
Guitarist, composer and improviser with over 25 years of experience, trained as a Musikpädagoge, I combine artistic practice with a teaching approach focused on deep musical understanding.

Who the lessons are for:

Intermediate and advanced musicians who want to move beyond patterns and automatisms and truly understand what they are playing.

How I work:

• We always start from concrete musical situations (playing, listening, improvising).

• Harmony is explored through functions, tensions, modal systems, modal interchange and alterations.

• Theory is treated as a practical tool, not as an abstract set of rules.

• Ear training is fully integrated into the practice.

• Improvisation is approached as harmonic thinking in action, with direct application to composition.

Approach:

My path, shaped through listening, composition and in-depth harmonic study, is reflected in a method that aims to reduce the distance between theory and practice while developing musical autonomy.

Each learning path is personalized; I do not follow standardized programs.
Musical notation is not central — the focus lies primarily on listening and functional understanding.

Lessons take place in person in Berlin.
No online lessons and no home visits.
Languages: English / German / Italian.

Music Lessons – Harmony, Improvisation & Ear Training
(Berlin – in person)

I am a musician and music teacher based in Berlin.
Guitarist, composer and improviser with over 25 years of experience, trained as a Musikpädagoge, I combine artistic practice with a teaching approach focused on deep musical understanding.

Who the lessons are for:

Intermediate and advanced musicians who want to move beyond patterns and automatisms and truly understand what they are playing.

How I work:

• We always start from concrete musical situations (playing, listening, improvising).

• Harmony is explored through functions, tensions, modal systems, modal interchange and alterations.

• Theory is treated as a practical tool, not as an abstract set of rules.

• Ear training is fully integrated into the practice.

• Improvisation is approached as harmonic thinking in action, with direct application to composition.

Approach:

My path, shaped through listening, composition and in-depth harmonic study, is reflected in a method that aims to reduce the distance between theory and practice while developing musical autonomy.

Each learning path is personalized; I do not follow standardized programs.
Musical notation is not central — the focus lies primarily on listening and functional understanding.

Lessons take place in person in Berlin.
No online lessons and no home visits.
Languages: English / German / Italian.
