With 13 years of education and 6 years of teaching, I'm giving piano and music theory to students of all ages and different levels. In my lessons it's important for me to seek an individual approach as well as adjust to the student's level and personality traits. Depending on the student's previous experience we will learn and work on repertoire and develop skills a musician needs, such as notes reading, technique, understanding of music.

Have you wanted to learn to play the piano for some time or do you want to teach your child to play the piano? My name is Faye, I've been playing the piano since the age of 6 years and have always been very passionate about music.

I offer lessons for children and adults from beginners to intermediate level. Styles: Pop, world, improv, and classical music. Lessons are a good musical basis for any style you wish to pursue.

My method tries to tailor to the needs of the student so that lessons are engaging structured and follow the natural curiosity and capabilities of the students.
It also focuses a lot on developing the students overall musical abilities such as internalizing sound and rhythm.

Music making is something to be enjoyed and experienced besides the practice that goes into perfecting the art of piano playing. The content of the lessons always aims to reflect this mindset so that a student can become independently fluent and capable not just to imitate and practice but to really experience, understand, feel and enjoy the music throughout their learning experience.

Piano accompaniment
Electronic Keyboards

My lessons are especially for you if you want to achieve freedom and ease at the piano.

As a composer, I develop my ideas through improvisation at the piano, which, trained through technique and knowledge, allows for a free discovery of one's own music.
So you not only learn to play your favorite songs, but also to understand them and to come up with similar ones yourself.

The lessons are completely flexible, and the focus is on fun and discovery. We can learn to play from sheet music or by ear. We can include harmony, rhythm, and ear training – whatever you prefer.

It is also possible to focus on only one of these areas if you want to prepare for an entrance exam or something similar [rhythm and ear training].

Mein Musiktheorie-Unterricht vermittelt die Grundlagen klar, verständlich und praxisnah. Egal ob Notenlesen, Harmonielehre, Intervalle, Tonarten oder Rhythmus – ich erkläre die Themen so, dass sie logisch und greifbar werden. Mir ist wichtig, dass du nicht nur auswendig lernst, sondern Musik wirklich verstehst und anwenden kannst. Der Unterricht wird individuell angepasst, sodass du in deinem eigenen Tempo lernst, egal ob Anfänger oder Fortgeschrittener. Gemeinsam machen wir Musiktheorie zugänglich und spannend!
