Piano Lessons in Berlin by a german native speaker

(German version further down/Deutsche Version weiter unten)

I enjoy teaching because it requires a deeper knowledge of the material than if one is only performing music. I am continuously learning too.
I do not think that it is important how old you are or in what environment you grew up.
To engage with music as a result of learning an instrument can bring your brain in a healthy state of ongoing change.
People that are "without any talent" for music do not exist. Everyone can engage with music and enjoy it.

I can teach Piano:
- involving sheet music or not, depending on what you prefer.
- or/and Music theory lessons
- or/and Improvisation
- or/and Jazz
- or/and Ear Training
- or/and Composition.

The lessons can be held in English or German or a mixture of both.
I teach close to Friedrichstraße in Berlin. The lessons can be done via Skype too.

You can read about me as a performing musician here:
Julius (*1995) is a German pianist and composer, graduated from the University of Arts Berne in Switzerland in 2017 with honors.
In July 2019 he finished his Masters in the European Jazz Masters Programme through the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen with exchange semesters in Berlin and Amsterdam.
Throughout his studies, he was lucky enough to receive artistic guidance by Colin Vallon, Django Bates, Harmen Fraanje, Simon Toldam, Peter Bruun, Greg Cohen, and Michael Moore.
Julius was granted a scholarship by Lyra Stiftung Zürich in 2015 and 2016. Tours with his own bands have been supported by different fundings from Switzerland and Germany.
He performed all across Europe during the past years.

German/Deutsch:

Beim Unterrichten ist es notwendig alles tiefer zu beherrschen als wenn man „nur“ Musik macht. Ich lerne stets auch als Lehrer dazu.
Es ist irrelevant wie alt Sie sind oder in welcher musikarmen oder musikreichen Umgebung Sie aufwuchsen. Sich mit Musik zu beschäftigen kann unser Gehirn in einen gesunden Zustand von andauernder Veränderung und Wachstum bringen.
Menschen die „talentfrei“ im Bezug auf Musik sind, gibt es nicht. Jeder kann sich mit Musik und sich daran erfreuen.

Ich gebe Unterricht mit oder ohne Noten, abhängig davon was Sie bevorzugen. Bei Interesse unterrichte auch Musiktheorie, Improvisation, Jazz, Gehörbildung und Komposition.

Der Unterricht findet auf deutsch oder englisch oder einer Mischung aus beidem statt. Ich unterrichte in der Nähe der Friedrichstraße in Berlin. Der Unterricht kann auch über Skype stattfinden.

Hier gibt es einen Einblick in mein musikalisches Schaffen:

Julius (*1995) ist ein deutscher Pianist und Komponist der in den Bereichen Jazz und improvisierte Musik arbeitet. Er schloss 2017 seinen Bachelor an der Hochschule der Künste Bern mit dem Prädikat sehr gut ab. Im Juli 2019 schloss er den European Jazz Masters am Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium in Kopenhagen, mit Austauschsemestern am Jazz Institut Berlin und dem Conservatorium van Amsterdam, ab.

In 2015 und ’16 war er Stipendiat der Lyra Stiftung Zürich. Touren seiner Bands wurden in den letzten Jahren regelmäßig von deutschen und schweizerischen Stiftungen unterstützt.
Julius spielte in den letzten Jahren Konzerte in ganz Europa.

About Me

Julius Windisch, born 1995, is a german composer, producer, pianist and singer. He studied jazz piano 2014-2017 at University of the Arts, Berne. 2017-2019 he was enrolled in the European Jazz Master Programme at Rytmisk Musik Konservatorium in Copenhagen with exchange semesters at Jazz Institut Berlin and Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Since 2015 Julius received several scholarships from Lyra Foundation Zurich, Musikfonds, Deutscher Musikrat, deutsche Orchesterstiftung & Berliner Senat. Deutschlandfunk wrote about his music: "exciting and very colorful music (...) Lyrical, fragile moods blend beautifully with powerful, energetic passages“. From 2021 - 2023, Julius co-curated the concert series "lit" at Donau115 in Berlin with Leipzig-based bassist Robert Lucaciu.

Julius is interested in creating genre-bending music. He draws influences from contemporary black american music, songwriters, feminist writers, electronic musicians & classical composers alike.
He leads the band immerweiter, playing his original music and performs new classical music (Rihm, Chai, Schönberg) with the duo alle bilder with singer Friederike Merz. He also works as a sideman in a variety of different projects.
In the summer of 2023 he released a solo album of electronic music, entitled "what am i doing w my life". In his instrumental compositions he focuses on different polyrhythmic structures & a consequent abolition of hierarchies within the band. In his electronic music he focuses on the use of various alternate tuning systems and textural explorations.

Over the last years he has played at prestigious venues such as HAU Hebbel am Ufer & KM28 in Berlin, Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome, Schwere Reiter and Unterfahrt in Munich, Birds Eye in Basel, Dokkhuset in Trondheim, Bimhuis in Amsterdam and at festivals such as Leipziger Jazztage, Kunst am Bauen Festival Zurich, Jazzfestival Copenhagen, Mlada Praha Festival & Fusion Festival.

“Proof there's still plenty of innovation left out there” - Midwest Record

In the past Julius has performed at Parco della Musica in Rome, Jazzfestival Copenhagen, Mlada Praha Festival in Prague, Birds Eye Basel, Unterfahrt Munich, Jazzopen Stuttgart, Leipziger Jazztage, Dokkhuset in Trondheim, Fusion Festival, Schwere Reiter in Munich & Kunst am Bauen Festival in Zurich.

“It seems that Windisch is spearheading a very personal new Jazz stream. (...) he is certainly one of the bright young European musicians worth following closely” - adambaruch.com

Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
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." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (USA). 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.

Mary
Instrumental Teacher ( Piano, Guitar, Bass & Ukulele)
Welcome to the music class! Here, we are gonna discover the wonders of learning an instrument. From reading note letters, implementing a proper form to sight reading a piece, we are gonna learn in our own pace. If you're just learning music now and it feels like there's a lot to understand, don't worry we're gonna start from the basics. I will help you understand music and its elements. With your dedication and my guidance, I'm positive that we will get a good result!

Cheslava
Piano and Singing tutor with 5 years experience and professional education
From my childhood I have been studying music and art: sang in choir and solo, played piano, painted, studied music history and literature, solfeggio. Later in college I have also learned choir conducting, had ensemble and choir singing lessons, cultural studies. During last year in university I had pedagogy practice at university and at private art school (where I worked as a music tutor before the war - piano, voice). I truly enjoyed working with students. They all were different age (8 - 40+ years old) and level. But all were very interesting and work was pleasant. My education was very various: my core subjects were conducting, choir, voice, piano. So it allowed me to work with children, teens and adults with quite wide range of interests and needs: some students needed/wanted to learn particular composition(s), sometimes pop songs arrangements, some were interested in “introduction” to the music, some wanted to renew skills they gained in their childhood and continue their journey to the music world. In addition I prepared presentations (which contained information about cultural and historical background and musical and character/art analysis). So after graduation from choir conducting faculty (which allowed me to deepen my knowledge in many important compatible branches) I concentrated on studying classical singing and piano, expanded my cultural studies and analysis knowledge, practiced solfeggio and harmony.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

Denise
Singing classes in Vienna for all age students and musical styles (Online/Offline)
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 would love to work together to achieve your musical goals. All my best, Denise

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.

Ana María
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.

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.

Piano / Music Theory Lessons for All Levels - Recent Graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music
Geneva - Lausanne - Morges Courses in English, French, Italian (native languages) - German (European level B2) As a graduate of the Geneva Conservatory of Music, I offer with great enthusiasm, excellent methodology, and a strong desire to share my passion, piano and music theory lessons for all levels. Having completed 12 years of studies in Piano and Music Theory, as well as courses in Musical Training and Sight-Reading, I want to introduce this extraordinary instrument to both beginners and advanced students with the same passion that my teachers (including Sodi Braide, who studied at the Paris National Conservatory of Music (CNSM), and Stéphanie Aubert) used to bring me to my current level—performing in major concerts and competitions with first prize at the CMG. As a mechanical engineering student at EPFL, I can adapt the lessons in a fun yet rigorous way, to captivate young beginners. At the same time, my background allows me to expand and deepen the pianistic knowledge of advanced pianists. I look forward to sharing my passion with you!

Solfege & Oriental Solfege: Quarter Note - Rast, Bayet, Siga, Kord, Hijaz, Ajam, Nahawand - Major & Minor Scales
With over 8 years of experience as a Solfege, Oriental Solfege, Oud, and Oriental singing teacher, I am a Lebanese musician currently residing in Mönchengladbach, Germany. I honed my skills for 8 years at the Lebanese National Conservatory. Prior to my relocation, I taught at Casa Beethoven Academy in Lebanon and also held private music lessons. As a concertmaster, I performed with the oriental orchestra "Loubnan Assalam" for over 5 years. My move to Germany was motivated by my pursuit of graduate studies at the University of Kamp-Lintfort. Fluent in English, Couramment en français, ولغتي الأم هي اللغة العربية. Aber leider spreche Ich ein bisschen Deutsch. Solfege, the foundation of music theory, is an essential tool for any musician who wishes to understand and create music. It provides a way to identify and communicate notes, intervals, and rhythms, and it is the key to developing musical literacy. In this class, you will delve into the world of scales, exploring the unique characteristics of Western and Oriental scales. We will study the following scales: Rast, Bayet, Siga, Kord, Hijaz, Ajam, Nahawand- Major & Minor Scales. In addition to these Western and Oriental scales, we will also introduce you to the quarter note, which is not traditionally found in Western music. It is a quarter note with a unique and distinct sound. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced musician, this class will provide you with the knowledge you need to use scales effectively for improvisation, singing, and playing any instrument. With this knowledge, you will be able to: * Read and write music (dictation) in solfège notation for both Western and Oriental scales. * Identify and communicate notes accurately in the context of various musical traditions. * Develop a deeper understanding of music theory and rhythmic concepts. * Infuse your musical performances with a broader range of expressive possibilities. We will use the book "المقامات الشرقية by Georges Farah" as the main reference for our study of Oriental solfège. This book is considered the best book in the Middle East to teach Oriental Solfège. Discover the power of solfège to enhance your musical skills and open up a world of new possibilities!
