Learn to play piano (Jazz, Blues, Pop, Classical) in a fun, therapeutic environment.

I am a Piano Teacher from Ireland. I am classically trained (The Royal Irish Academy of Music) and also in Jazz Improvisation (Waltons School of Music Dublin).

I am a Contemporary Dancer who is currently training in Somatic Practice. This has opened up a new world for my piano practice. I believe that body awareness and mind to body connection has a huge impact in one's creative expression.

I involve the Alexander Technique, relaxation exercises and improvisational games in my classes to create a productive and calm leaning environment. I teach technical exercises, scales, singing, sight reading, composition and most important - songs of your choice that you would love to play.

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.

Liebe Musikfreunde,
ich unterrichte mit viel ausprobieren und Freude am Klavierspielen.
Egal welche Motivation- ob Noten lernen, ein spezifisches Stück zu spielen oder Lieder begleiten, ich werde praxisnah arbeiten und gebe Hausaufgaben, damit du auch unabhängig von mir lernst Klavier zu spielen.
Ich unterrichte seit vierzehn Jahren, studierte Musikpädagogik, Klavier und Cembalo und durch viele LehrerInnen und SchülerInnen benutze ich viele lustige Wege, um schnell lernen zu können. Dieses Jahr werde ich mich auf Erwachsene und Jugendliche fokussieren.
Ich freue mich auf euch. Wenn du 15 Minuten mit dem Fahrrad von mir wohnst, komme ich auch zu dir nach Hause, sonst unterrichte ich in der Universität der Künste oder bei mir zu Hause.
Lieben Gruß, Simone

Dear Pianoteacher searchers !
If I should describe my piano lessons I would say that they are very playful! The talking and theory is secondary, most important is to play and then see how to listen and adapt from there. My students have fun, they enjoy our lessons, otherwise they don't practise and make progress :)
It is important that our lesson is making you more independant and secure to play and understand music on your own! I have teaching experiences since fourteen years, I studied music education, piano, harpsichord which I will use for your understanding. This year I will only focus on teaching people over 12 years old. If you live 15minutes by bike from me, there is the possibility to come to your home. Otherwise I will be teaching in Universität der Künste or at my home.
I wish you all the best in finding the right teacher. Hope to hear you soon !
Best wish, Simone

Mein Ziel ist es, dass der Musikunterricht Dir nicht nur Freude bringt, sondern Dich musikalisch/gesanglich dahin bringt, wo Du hin möchtest und Du mit jedem Unterricht besser wirst. Dazu brauchst Du praktische Tipps und individuelle Übungen, die genau Deinen Anforderungen entsprechen, statt immer wieder dieselben Standard Übungen hoch und runter zu singen.

Bei mir lernst Du nur das, was Dich wirklich weiterbringt, in dem was Du Dir als Ziel gesetzt hast.

Du wählst den Song aus und ich zeige Dir genau woran Du arbeiten müsstest, um so zu klingen wie Du möchtest.

Dabei bin ich maximal ehrlich mit Dir und sage Dir wie lange es ungefähr dauert bis der Song auftrittsreif ist bzw. ob dieser Song für Dich noch zu schwer ist.

Ich unterrichte gerne und leidenschaftlich, deswegen ist mir wichtig, dass auch Du motiviert bist, Spaß hast und eine Entwicklung spürst. Der Riesen-Vorteil bei mir ist, dass ich niemanden zwinge regelmäßig Unterricht zu nehmen, man hat ja auch viele andere Dinge im Leben zu tun und findet nicht immer Zeit zum üben. Du darfst also selber entscheiden wann Dein nächster Unterricht stattfinden soll. Was Du alleine lernen/üben kannst, das lasse ich Dich auch gerne alleine lernen/üben und gebe Dir sogar Tipps welche Apps oder Videos Du dazu nutzen kannst.

Ich bin 33 Jahre alt und habe 15 Jahre berufliche Erfahrung als Sänger, mit Bands und Solo, auf verschiedensten Veranstaltungen und auf allen möglichen Bühnen mit 10 bis 10.000 Zuschauern. Ich habe mit Pop und Rock Cover-Bands angefangen und später studierte dann Jazz Gesang an der Hochschule für Musik und Theater München. Nach dem Studium habe ich für meine Weiterbildung noch privat Gesangsunterricht bei top vocal Coaches von CVT genommen.

Ich spiele auch Gitarre auf Semi-Professionellen Level und kann Dir auch einfache bis fortgeschrittene Gitarrenbegleitung beibringen.

Wenn Du irgendwelche Fragen hast, melde Dich einfach persönlich bei mir. Ich freue mich auf den Unterricht mit Dir.

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.
