Classical and Jazz Piano, and Composition Tutoring

Van 43.02 $ /h

I am a composer, pianist, teacher, and researcher based in Berlin.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in jazz piano from the Conservatory of Vicenza, Italy, a Master's, and a PhD in composition from the University of Leeds, UK.
In 2011, I attained a scholarship as promising student of the Conservatory of Vicenza.
From 2006 to 2009 I was volunteer at a special needs-school, using music as a form of therapy. From 2013 to 2015 I studied Piano at the Conservatory ‘Prince Claus’ in Groningen, The Netherlands where I worked mostly as a performer. In 2019 my CD ‘Breaths’ was released by British label Another Timbre. My pieces have been broadcasted by Keith F’eM, Concertzender Radio, and Radio 3 and my scores have been published in IM–OS Improvised Music-Open Scores and THE MASS. I've been teaching piano, music theory, improvisation, and composition for 12 years now. When teaching I always attempt to organise targeted lessons that cover varying musical aspects depending on the students' skills and preferences.
I teach either online or at the students' home., Charlottenburg-Berlin. I also offer engraving and arranging services.

Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.

My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Hi! I have over 7 years of teaching experience from young kids to adults of all levels and I love it! My goal is for my students to find joy in playing an instrument and have fun during the lessons. I also aim to make every student come out of the lesson feeling motivated to carry on learning, and tailor the lessons to what they want to learn and how to achieve their goal.
I can also help students prepare for their piano exams and theory exams.

In piano lessons, we use the book method of Notus or Hal Leonard.
Everything is explained step by step and you gradually learn to read music and know the piano.

At the start of our lessons we'll take a look at what is important to you. What goals do you want to set, and what feels achievable and comfortable?
We set long-term goals of, for example, a year. Completely tailored to where you are at, right now.

During the lessons I am patient, motivating, encouraging, and complimenting. I'll point out what could be better, and also pay attention to how you can play more easily. And much more. Tailored to your needs and wishes.

Do you want to learn to write, record or produce your own music? Or are you interested in sound design? Then I can help you further!
Music production and recording technology may seem complicated at first glance, but in our 1-on-1 private lessons we can discuss the creative and technical tools you need to unleash your own creativity.

Whether it's songwriting, recording techniques or beat making, we can do it all together. All genres are welcome.
During the lessons we can learn to work with different programs, such as Logic, Pro Tools or Ableton.
The lessons are for students of all ages and levels. Knowledge of solfège is not required.

I studied guitar and music production at the Conservatory in Ghent and have been active as a professional musician for several years. I have 12 years of experience as a private teacher.

Lessons take place in Gentbrugge near the Keizerpark.
We can determine the exact time of the lesson together. All very flexible.

Does this seem like something for you?
Don't hesitate to send me a message.

Hope to see you soon!

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.

Eyal has taught hundreds of students over the past 15 years, both guitar and piano next to music theory and composition. Besides his formal music education (a bachelor's in composition, a teaching degree from the music academy in Jerusalem, and a master's in composition from Codarts, Rotterdam), Eyal has acquired experience in a wide range of various musical styles, including Rock, Blues, Jazz, classical music, electronic music, and contemporary music, on which he bases his rich approach which can be adjusted to every student separately.

Solos, chords, improvisations, heavy distortion or acoustic guitar, playing at a party or jumping on stages, reading notes, or playing by ear. Maybe you know exactly what you want, and maybe you are not sure. In Eyal's view, the job of the teacher is to help you find that out, and guide you through your process.

Johann Sebastian Bach or John Lennon? Sergei Rachmaninoff or Freddie Mercury? Regina Spektor? Nina Simone? Maybe Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart? Complex harmonies or simple melodies? Classical pieces or modern tunes? The only right answer is what you find interesting.

Hi! I’m Didac Barber, a professional concert pianist and experienced teacher from Spain, now based in the Netherlands.

I hold a Master’s in Piano Performance from The Hartt School (USA) and trained at ESMUC Barcelona, studying with top international pianists like Adolf Pla and Luiz de Moura Castro. I’ve performed across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, and have taught piano for over 15 years — in conservatories, private studios, and internationally online.

My passion lies not only in performance but in helping students discover what they are capable of. I’m dedicated, empathetic, and patient — and I want you to enjoy your learning journey as much as I do sharing it.

Each student is different, and so are my lessons.
Whether you're just starting out or already preparing for auditions or performances, I’ll adapt the lesson to your goals, challenges, and musical taste.

We can work, all in a way that feels personal and motivating, on:
* Technique and sound production
* Repertoire (classical, contemporary, film music, etc.)
* Musical expression and interpretation
* Performance preparation (concerts, exams, auditions)
* Practice strategies and confidence-building

I’m here to help you be the best pianist you can be, whether that means mastering Bach or finally playing your favorite piece with confidence.

Lessons are at students home or online, and taught in English, Spanish, or Catalan, unfortunately not in Dutch for now.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. I’d love to hear about your musical goals and help you reach them.
Let’s make music together!
— Didac 🎶

My lessons focus on creating bass-heavy music with a strong emphasis on rhythm, groove, and impact. We'll work in-depth with 808s, drums, and sound design, so you'll learn how to create powerful low-end that truly works in the mix. I'll share my signature sound and approach, developed through years of industry experience, and teach you how to translate this into a unique sound that suits you as a producer.

Hello there! 🎶
Yes, you, nice human.
Maybe you’ve been dreaming of playing the piano for a while now. Perhaps you played a little as a child but stopped somewhere along the way. Or maybe you simply love the sound of the piano and the black and white keys and often think: ‘I wish I could do that’.
But then these thoughts appear:
‘I don’t have enough time’
‘The music school is too far away.’
‘What if it’s too difficult for me?’
‘My work schedule doesn’t allow fixed lesson times.’
Here’s the good news: you don’t have to wait any longer. Now is the right moment to start.

The solution? Online piano coaching.
As a musician and piano teacher, I understand these struggles very well. I personally had a hard time with the rigid structure of traditional music schools, and for a the longest time I didn’t know how to practise efficiently. How do you make progress without feeling overwhelmed? How do you combine learning music with a busy life?
Through years of experience, trial and error, , and a lot of searching, I found my own way, sometimes unconventional, sometimes surprising, but always with a lot of love for music.
I now hold a Master’s degree in Music, and I wrote my thesis on stress in professional musicians. This research not only influenced my way of playing, but also my teaching approach. I don’t believe music education should be stressful or intimidating. Instead, it should be supportive, motivating, and adapted to the person behind the instrument-while still actually learning something.

What can I offer you?
One-to-one piano lessons, just like at a music school — but with so much more freedom.

Flexibility that fits your life You learn from your own home, your own safe space. My agenda is online, and every week you choose a lesson time that works for you. Late-night shifts? No problem. Babysitter cancelled? We adapt. You stay relaxed.

Personal guidance and ongoing feedback Between lessons, you can send me recordings of your playing. If you get stuck, you don’t have to wait a whole week to ask questions. You receive support exactly when you need it.

Learn independently, at your own pace Prefer a more self-guided approach? I also offer a beginner video course, where you learn step by step. Taught by a real teacher — not a computer — with the option of personal guidance whenever you need it.

Relaxation, breathing & mindfulness in music
What makes my lessons special is the attention to relaxation and mental well-being. Music is not only physical; it is extremely connected to the mind and the breath. That’s why I incorporate elements of meditation, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques into my teaching.
Especially when preparing for a performance or a stressful moment, these tools can make a huge difference.
For example: before a concert, nerves often show up as shallow breathing, tension, or racing thoughts. I teach simple breathing exercises that help you calm your nervous system, focus your attention, and return to the music instead of the fear.
By integrating relaxation and mindfulness into your piano practice, you don’t just improve your technique — you build confidence, focus, and a healthier relationship with music-and yourself .

Why choose my lessons?
Because I combine:
professional musical training ( I’m not only a pianist, also a bassoonist traveling with orchestra )
personal experience with performance stress (Yes, I was stressed too!)
a flexible, modern teaching approach
and a deep belief that learning music should feel supportive and joyful
My goal for you is progress, confidence, and enjoyment.

Ready to begin your musical journey? Together we’ll explore your goals and find a way of learning piano that truly fits your life.
I look forward to meeting you and making music together.

Available in English, Dutch and French.

Hey there! Do you want to start a new hobby? Do you already play the piano and you want to improve your skills with a creative approach to the instrument? Then I think I can help you!
I can teach you basic and advanced concepts of any style on the piano (classical, jazz, pop-rock...), and if you like improvisation and jazz then we get along even better!
I offer very personalized classes based on your level and interests. My approach to teaching strongly takes the student's CREATIVITY into account, but without forgetting that a good knowledge of MUSIC THEORY and PIANO TECHNIQUE are essential.

About my philosophy in teaching music:
In a creative field like music, education is a delicate matter. I firmly believe that a teacher must do everything possible to avoid suppressing the student’s personal voice. Each of us — regardless of age or skill level — has a unique approach to music, even before touching the instrument!
My goal is to help students discover their own musical identity at the piano, drawing on my experience and offering a solid theoretical foundation tailored to their interests and level.
That said, as in any discipline, there are no shortcuts in music. Passion and dedication are essential to achieving meaningful results. Furthermore, a solid technical and theoretical foundation is indispensable, no matter your musical interests.
I look forward to sharing my deep passion for music with you. Feel free to reach out for more information!
