Piano Lessons for Music Lovers and Time-Starved Professionals

Hello there!

Do you wish to learn to play the piano but do not have several hours every day to dedicate to practicing? I can help! With 15 years of teaching experience, I’ve honed my methods to facilitate rapid progress and maximize efficiency. My students achieve in months, what usually takes years when following a conventional music school program. Nonetheless, I am not taking any shortcuts. On the contrary, one of the reasons why my students progress so fast is my insistence on building solid fundamentals. I strive for my students to master the necessary tools for them to then achieve their own personal ambitions.

Having observed the practice routines of professionals and university students worldwide, I've realized that there's often much time to be gained during practice. Realizing everyone's personnality, approach, affinities and tastes are different, I prioritize a personalized approach tailored to your individual learning style. Together, we'll make the most of our sessions, whether you're a beginner diving into music or an intermediate player seeking to enhance your skills. And guess what? You won't need to practice for hours on end to see significant improvement. With regular lessons, even just 15 minutes of practice three times a week can lead to enormous progress. As I often say, the learning process is more akin to a marathon than a sprint.

While efficiency is important, I believe that learning should be fun and inspiring. In my lessons, you can expect a supportive and encouraging environment. I'll be there with you every step of the way, celebrating your achievements and helping you overcome any challenges that arise. Together, we'll create a positive and empowering learning experience.

Ready to embark on your fast and efficient piano learning journey? Contact me to schedule lessons and get ready for a rewarding musical adventure! Looking forward to hearing from you!

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I am Carl, a Canadian pianist of Chinese origin. My musical journey began at the age of eleven when I started taking piano lessons. I received my initial training at the University of Montreal and the Haute École de Musique de Genève. Over the years, I have developed a deep passion for song interpretation, which has led me to explore self-study with remarkable success. In fact, this dedication brought me to the finals of the Lied Duo category at the Mahler Competition in Geneva in 2018.

Motivated by my love for music, I decided to further my studies in Vienna. Currently, I am pursuing song accompaniment at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, guided by the esteemed Prof. Justus Zeyen. Throughout my musical journey, I have had the privilege of learning from renowned teachers such as Marc Durand, Roy Howat, Avedis Kouyoumdjian, Anne Le Bozec, David Lutz, Anne Queffélec, Jacques Rouvier, and Dang Thai Son.

I have been fortunate enough to showcase my talents through numerous recitals in Switzerland, Canada, and Austria. The recognition of my hard work and dedication has resulted in receiving various scholarships, awards, and honors. Multiple times, I have been selected as a finalist in the Canadian Music Competition, and in 2015, I proudly secured the 1st prize at the Clermont-Pépin Competition. Most recently, my research on Franz Schubert, part of my doctoral dissertation, earned me the esteemed Globalink Grant from the Canadian MITACS program.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to pursue my passion professionally and am looking forward to sharing my passion!

Groovy, dynamic lessons in Jazz Piano, Music Theory and/or Music Production In English or Spanish (Klavier, Jazz, Musik Theorie, Produktion)
In my experience over the past few years as a piano teacher to students of all levels and ages, I have found that people learn so much more when they are able to express themselves and have a fun time from the very first lesson. For this reason I focus on teaching piano and music through the lens of jazz, which allows for so much freedom as well as being really educational in all different styles of music. In my classes you will learn how music really works in a relevant way by studying music that you yourself enjoy listening to and would like to create, and practice dynamically using tools like backing tracks which make it feel like there is a band in the room with you! I also produce electronic/funk/neo soul music for my solo project and as a session musician. If learning music production interests you, I can also help you with that! I am happy to teach in my house in the 7th district or as well I can come to you. Please don't hesitate to be in touch. Thanks!

Play your favorite songs straight away, write your own songs and record them (git or keys)
LEARNING BY HEART Learn to play/sing favorite songs: - Depending on your ability, we simplify (or enrich) the accompaniment and improve it in a fluid manner - I'll show you various "hacks" and shortcuts - you don't have to do anything "right", you can follow the fun. - play/practice without pressure, how does that work...? You can make it easier for yourself! How much time you invest stays with you. :-) - any style possible, as long as it makes sense for you technically - Singing: easy! Write your own songs: - I give you different "glasses", "rails" through which you come up with new ideas, both for the music as well as the lyrics and singing - "writers block" - from the head back to the heart using simple techniques - learn to use the hidden treasure trove of ideas in your body (subconscious)! - and most importantly: have fun with “bad” songs! generally: - you will find clear goals for each hour (e.g. record a song or parts of it,...), for the next few weeks and for the next months - we record as much as possible because it is the best exercise (and the most exciting ;-) and you have something "in your hands" that is satisfying in itself, no matter how "perfect" it is (everything is perfect How clean is up to you ;-). - I'll help you promote the joy of sharing your music ("I can give something!") - and above all: learn to feel what really makes you happy. It's important to me that you feel safe with me and have fun, no matter how things are going. I'm happy if you dare, it can only get better! :-)

Music production, piano and music theory lessons
This course is for the interested piano beginner or anyone who wants to learn more about music theory and sheet music. I myself enjoyed five years of jazz piano lessons at the music school and training as an audio designer. In recent years I have focused a lot on music production and music theory. I'm happy for you!

Rosamond
Friendly and focussed Singing and Music Theory Lessons, taught in English by a native speaker
I have four years experience teaching voice, to both adults and children. Lessons can be orientated towards a specific goal, or simply to expand the limits of what you are capable of. My teaching follows a classical vocal technique, and we will also talk about interpretation, in terms of musicality, style and language. I have a strong musically academic background, so teach theory, either attached to vocal lessons, or separately.

This course is intended for piano enthusiasts, curious and slightly advanced pianists. The goal is to learn a basic understanding and feeling for playing the piano in order to ultimately be able to master simple to moderately difficult pieces without problems.

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 :)
