music has many facets

Where does your interest lie?

  • Piano

    If you are a beginner, I will help you become familiar with the piano, learn how to read music, and play in rhythm. If you are more advanced, we will tackle technical challenges and I will teach you techniques that will help you play effortlessly.

  • Ear-Training

    If you would like to learn to play songs you love by ear, or how to play Popular Music or Jazz with others, I can help you develop your ear and show you how to use it in practice.

  • Performance

    If you want to take your playing to the level of performance, I will guide you to a compelling and well-rounded display of your abilities, help you clear up technical imperfections, and guide you to find the meaning in your performance.

    Lessons in Performance are open to players of all instruments.

  • Analysis of Music

    I will help you master performance by revealing the deepest layers of a piece of music so that you can create an unforgettable, moving and captivating experience.

    Lessons in Analysis of Music are open to players of all instruments.
