About Me
Pian Vane is an adventurous pianist, jazz composer, and music educator whose work transcends genre boundaries, blending jazz with R&B, pop, classical, and Oriental folk influences. Her music tells stories, expressing emotions and life experiences with cinematic compositions, strong melodies, deep grooves, and authenticity. She draws inspiration from Brad Mehldau, Hiromi Uehara, Aaron Parks, Oscar Peterson, and John Scofield.In 2011, she won the Golden Award at the Singapore International Culture and Art Festival and began her Classical Piano Performance & Art Management studies at XingHai Conservatory of Music. That same year, she performed in the 大人 concert with pop musician Pam Chuang. Her passion for jazz was sparked in 2013 after attending a John Scofield concert, leading her to transition from classical to jazz at Maastricht Conservatorium under the mentorship of Frank Giebels.
In 2019, she founded Micro Oxygen, an original jazz quartet that has performed at Jazzout Limburg (alongside Cory Wong and Gallowstreet), Chique Festival, Jazz Shanghai, Les Temps Mêlés, and as an aftershow for Enrico Pieranunzi’s trio. She is also a member of Wednesday’s Pins and Needles, which collaborated with Wim van Egmond in 2024 to improvise live music for the film Fungal Landscapes, which premiered at IMC12 in Maastricht.
Currently, Pian is developing The Dream Dealer, an immersive jazz and live painting performance exploring dreams, memories, and connection. She also works as a session pianist with Alessa Knur, a ballet pianist at ADE Company, and has been the choir leader
and conductor of Ut Koer since 2024.
As an educator, she has taught jazz piano at UWC Maastricht since 2022 and joined SCHUNCK as a piano teacher in 2025. While actively performing and composing, she is pursuing a master’s in specialized composition and performance at Conservatorium Maastricht, studying with Jesse Passenier, Wolfgang Braun, and Aaron Parks.

Great communication thanks for the experience
Pian is a very versatile Teacher and happy to tailor the lessons towards whatever style or music you wish. She offers a number of helpful tips on general technique as well that are good for improving the playing style.
Pian is a very good teacher
Pian is talented pianist and a very kind teacher. She gives excellent feedback and is always willing to help in whichever way she can. I have improved a lot since I started taking lessons with her.
My son had his first-ever Piano lesson with Pian, initially, I was worried that he would get intimidated by the complicated music notes and concepts, and immediately lose interest in learning. But Pian is an experienced teacher who knows how to lead the kids into the topic, she was methodical and patient. Myy son had lots of fun in his first lesson, and he is looking forward to the next one. Pian also had done some follow-ups, to share some learning materials with me which are very helpful. I would recommend Pian to anyone who wants to have a patient, experienced, caring and resourceful piano teacher.

(LIVE or ONLINE!) Piano, improvisation, composition and music theory lessons
I am a Spanish pianist and composer (MMus graduate from Codarts Rotterdam in both directions) with many years of teaching experience, and also very active in performing in various contexts.
I give private piano lessons for all levels and styles (classical, jazz, Latin, new age, pop...), as well as music theory, composition and improvisation lessons. My lessons are distinguished by their dynamics, practical approach and adaptation to the needs and interests of the student.
The lessons (live or online) take place in my studio next to the Maastunnel, where I have a premium stage piano and a top-quality webcam setup.
I speak Dutch at an intermediate level, which is improving every day.
Professional jazz musician teaching jazz, blues, funk, R&B, pop, rock, latin and classical piano.
I teach online via Zoom, using software which allows you to see the exact keys I'm playing on my keyboard.
My teaching method is to focus on whatever type of music the student loves most, and to build from there. I believe that many people give up their dream of playing an instrument simply because they aren't inspired enough, so my goal is to instill a love for music, whatever that means personally for each individual student.
Everyone learns differently and has their own pace and rhythm. I have some students who like to have a regular weekly or biweekly lesson, and others who just get in touch once in a while when they have digested the previous lesson and feel ready to build on it. Whatever the case, I am very flexible and we can figure out what works best for you.
A bit about me:
Originally honing my skills on the British jazz scene and holding residencies in restaurants and bars around the country, I then went on to tour the world playing on cruise ships, hotels and festivals. I returned to London to complete my master's in jazz piano at the Guildhall School of Music, and during this time performed regularly at Ronnie Scotts, The Vortex and many other venues across the UK. I then spent two years in South America learning about salsa and Cuban music. I now mainly work as a transcriber, writing sheet music for all instruments including full Big Band scores. I have also worked extensively in musical theatre, most recently as musical director for 'Jersey Boys', and on the first US national tour of 'Summer: the Donna Summer Musical'. The video shown below is from my stint playing and directing 'After Midnight', a show set to the music of the Duke Ellington Big Band.
Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.
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.
The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.
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.
