Piano skills class, beginners to advanced, highly qualified teacher

Welcome to my keyboard class. Here you will find the knowledge and tools you need to explore keyboard music from the 18th century up 'til jazz and the present day.

I will give you the theory you need to understand and digest a wide range of music. We will explore music written on a score, and by ear. Improvisation and performance practice are important parts of the process and will enable you to find your own voice.

I can teach to any level and am happy to prepare students for ABRSM exams etc.

I am a qualified accompanist, so don't hesitate to ask if I can be of assistance.

About Me

I am a passionate teacher and have had much experience teaching since I began some years ago while Organ Scholar of Gloucester Cathedral. My music-making is energetic, wholehearted, and infectious. My primary pupil is myself and I don’t find it difficult to impart what I’ve learned to whoever is in the room, regardless of their age or ability. I help pupils understand that even tackling technically challenging passages can be fun and engaging, and am genuinely enthused by their playing. I structure their lessons appropriately and give them attainable goals and useful practice schedules. I encourage pupils to take initiative and I am flexible and creative, which helps to stimulate their interest. I perform plenty during lessons, as the demonstration is often the best explanation, and I have plenty of performing experience to draw upon.

Violin Lessons, Music Theory Lessons and Practice Tips For All Levels And Ages
There is more to learning how to play the violin than simply getting to know the instrument. It connects you to numerous likeminded people, includes you in a wonderful community and teaches you many core values that are essential in everyday life. It is scientifically proven that music making benefits your well-being, stimulating creativity and exploring a world unto itself. The class is completely adjustable to the student’s needs, meeting one where they are and working towards mutually set goals.

Music Theory - how to read music, understand it completely, and use it for performing, composing, learning.
No matter where you are in your musical journey, theory is necessary to gain musical freedom. Even knowing the basics allows an aspiring musician to start creating arrangements, compose, transpose, read music better, look for different colours in harmony, and much more. I have designed a course that will bring students through the aspects of theory, notation, harmony, structure and form to help them become more fluent in reading, composing or performing.

Giorgia
Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level
I teach for all levels, from children starting from zero to students who want to prepare certifications at the Conservatories, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I firmly believe in the importance of knowing how to read music and this is exactly what I teach first, obviously adapting the method to the age of my students: knowing how to read music is knowing one more language, which, if learned well, won’t ever be forgotten (like riding a bicycle!) and it is an invaluable wealth. Starting from that point I teach the position of the hand, the arm and the whole body at the piano, the fundamentals of the piano technique (giving great importance to the percussive movement of the finger and the distribution of weight), the understanding of musical language, the expression of the personality through the keyboard, the search for touch and knowledge of piano repertoire.

Denise
Singing classes for all age students and different vocal styles (pop, folk or classical) Online or Offline in Vienna
Dear students: My name is Denise and I'm a professional singer with a singing master's degree from Catalonia's Music College (ESMUC) specialized in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education. My experience runs mostly in early and classical music with an active performing life, nevertheless I also have the experience and knowledge of popular musical styles such as Latin-American folk, jazz and musicals. As a docent or vocal coach I've collaborate with different academic institutions and private artistic projects, focusing mostly on international students or social integration programs. I have years of experience teaching children, teenagers and adults in both Latin-America and Europe, therefore understanding different appreciation levels and needs. My main goal is to help the student discover her or his voice while enjoying making music. **Class suggestions and indications** No experience is needed just bring your enthusiasm and favorite music. Classes can be given either in English, Spanish, French or Deutsch. There are no limit for styles, bring your favorite music and I will provide a safe environment for your personal and musical growth. For Children I strongly recommend the 45 min class since their attention span and body development is different from an adult. Feel free to contact me in case of further questions. I hope to read from you soon and to make music together. All my best, Denise P.S. My schedule is mostly a suggestion since I'm constantly editing and adapting to a work schedule, please feel free to send me a message regarding your schedule needs and suggestions in order to give you the best service.

Composition, Music Production and Music Theory with an award winning artist!
Step into the fun world of making music with classes in Music Composition, Production, and Theory. I've done a bunch of cool music stuff and I'm excited to teach you what I know. Here's what I've been up to: I made my own music album. I wrote a special song for a band that let the big Double Bass instrument shine. I got to play on TV and at big music parties. I traveled around Europe playing music with different groups. I even made music for a movie and some big action film. I've sung and played instruments with lots of bands. I've tried almost every kind of music there is. I learned from famous music makers how to make great tunes. I've also made music for cartoons and ads. If you want to make your own music, produce cool sounds, or just understand music better, this class is for you. Let's make some noise and have a blast learning!

Piano course from beginner to intermediate - advanced level
These classes are designed for students with different knowledge of piano, from beginner to intermediate - advanced. Normally I use the Faber Piano Adventures method, useful for all ages and levels, but another method can be chosen depending on the learning style of each student. We start with pre-reading, introduction to the staff and reading of scores. You will learn in a fun and effective way how to read music. Also, comprehensively, you will learn about music theory and ear training. Additionally, you are free to propose songs of your liking, to learn them along with the method.
