Hello everyone,

I give piano lessons in Lichtenberg, but can also move me.

Coming from classical school, I have the heart to transmit a good technique, but I often complete with solid notions of music theory. Basically my teaching aims to make you autonomous when you approach a new work.

Reading notes, deciphering, position of the body, working ranges - arpeggios - trills / work on the typical exercises of the Cortot school. Musical theory, how to build scales, alterations etc etc etc ......
We can tackle together the classical repertoire, the blues, some jazz, pop music ...

Beginners and motivated children welcome.

Do not be afraid to jump in!

This class is for all music enthusiasts, whether you’re just getting started and need a solid foundation or already experienced and looking to level up.
I'm a DJ and music production instructor with 15 years of experience, and the founder of DJ School Berlin. I also run my own label and organise events.
My classes take place in a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, and are fully focused on your needs and goals. I teach both fundamental concepts and creative techniques, while supporting you in the development of your artistic project

I also compose music for media (trailers, films, ads, games, etc) and perform live focusing on sound exploration and experimental performance.
This means we can absolutely work on different musical genres or more unconventional, creative approaches.

Passionate about dancefloor energy, it’s behind the decks and my machines that I feel most alive — and I truly love passing that on.
I perform regularly in Berlin in clubs such as Watergate, Sisyphos, Hoppetosse, RSO, Golden Gate, etc., as well as abroad, most recently in Belgrade, London, Amsterdam, Paris, etc.

Having worked in an artist management agency (Talent Scoot), I bring an added layer to the sessions — connecting technical skills with artistic vision, and helping you shape and push your artistic project forward

----

Sessions usually last 2 hours, and can take place face-to-face or online, solo or in a group.

. Group sessions (1-3) are friendly, less expensive, more dynamic in terms of learning and interesting because you get to observe another student correcting TPs or or discussing techniques, which leads to valuable insights.
. In 1-1 if you're more comfortable solo, and for more effective learning focused on you and your pace.

I'll give you the keys to :
- Get to grips with Ableton Live and set up an efficient workflow
- Understand sound structure and audio manipulation
- Compose your own tracks and develop your artistic identity
- Explore different types of synthesis and sound design
- Master the use of effects and audio processing
- Structure, arrange, and bring your ideas to life
- Learn mixing techniques and how to properly export your projects
- If you're already experienced, dive into advanced production techniques to refine your craft

I'll also accompany you and advise you on the purchase of your equipment/plugins/tools.

Classes take place either in my studio in Kreuzberg, equipped with 2 CDJs, 2 vinyl decks, workstation, synths, drum machines and controllers or online with screen sharing with dynamic practice, TPs and follow up.
They are a mix of theory and practice, and we also cover the values and precepts of this art form, giving you lots of pro tips and tricks, as well as creative goodies (VSTs, effects, personal racks)

Don't hesitate to contact me for more information, I can send you a detailed document explaining all aspects of the training, the techniques covered, as well as the essential theoretical knowledge. You'll develop a complete understanding of the material, learn how to tell your musical story, create, record, finish, export and share your work.

I am looking forward to playing music with you.

Hi there! My name is Samuel, and I’m a Spanish guitar teacher offering private lessons.

I'm originally from Spain, and although my native language is French, I also speak English fluently, so communication won't be a problem at all. Lessons can be conducted in English, French, or Spanish, depending on your preference.

Alongside technique and repertoire, I incorporate music theory and harmony applied directly to the guitar, helping you understand what you play and why it works. This foundation will also allow you to explore other styles such as pop, Latin, or traditional folk, depending on your interests.

You can take lessons at your place, at my studio in Berlin, or online. Flexible scheduling is available.
