Drums, as with bass guitar are the backbone of any good song, and the foundation upon which the music is built. Despite not being as famous as lead vocals or lead guitar. Drums in my opinion is much more fun, at all levels of performance.

I will teach you how to play the drums, how to fit the style to the genre and we will learn by practice by breaking down the famous classics, and explain what part drums played to make these classics so good.

We will use my electronic drumset, which is not as good as the real thing but is definitely good for starters. There are ways you can practice at home without a drumset as well. And we can expand later and rent a studio room, where I can jam with you on the guitar even!

ENGLISH-SPEAKING PIANO TUTOR

I teach adults of all levels!

I often mentor people who are just starting out, helping them develop their interest in the instrument and play the music they love.

A lot of students come in with anxiety about how good or fast they're going to be able to learn. I work to build a respectful, supportive environment where you feel comfortable developing and learning at your own pace.

For intermediate and advanced students, I teach with a particular focus on fundamental technique through études, and developing musicality.

Oftentimes, as hobbyists, we have holes from our early studies that prevent us from developing later in life. My aim is to help correct that. You should leave with renewed confidence to tackle pieces that have intimidated or eluded you in the past.

I hope to teach you soon!

I'm a former New York City voice teacher/coach, professional singer and an award winning composer who has relocated to Berlin. I've taught with the most reputable children's musical theatre organizations in NYC with students of all ages as well as private students and I've worked with Broadway stars such as Laura Osnes, Karen Mason and Ron Bohmer, who have also recorded my music, and I'm excited to bring my 20 yrs of teaching experience to Berlin! I teach songwriting as well, if that is something you're interested in.

I'm a classically trained singer who performed with the San Francisco Opera and other companies both in opera and musical theatre for many years. Though I specialize now in musical theatre, I am happy and comfortable teaching you to sing in whatever style you prefer. The basics are the same! In our lessons, we will work on breath, correct vowel pronunciation, placement, diction, etc... as well as getting rid of the tension and habits that keep us from singing freely and beautifully. We will also work on the musical and dramatic aspects of the material we choose together, so that you will feel comfortable at an audition or a performance. And I keep lessons fun so that you can both learn and progress each week AND enjoy yourself!

Whether just starting out or a professional who needs help working on an audition or role, I can help you reach your goals!

And guess what? Professional voice users like teachers, public speakers, and actors also benefit from the voice work! This can also be a wonderful space for artistic growth and self-expression for non-professional music lovers who are looking for ways to create art.

In our sessions, we want you to feel as independent as possible. We'll have fun learning theory, doing practical exercises, and listening actively together! Let me tell you a bit more about what we'll be doing. We'll be looking at things like voice physiology, breath control, resonance, and clear articulation.

Singing is a wonderful way to express yourself, and it's so important to remember to sing not just with your voice, but with your whole body too! And we love to focus on mindfulness and body awareness! You should feel as good as you sound, my friend!

We're here to help you learn and master whatever genre you love most, whether it's classical opera, pop, jazz, or rock.

Our approach is all about getting into the musical texture and feeling the emotional essence and complex layers of your favorite song so you can communicate and act your feelings.

Remember, all music starts because someone has a story to tell. Your voice, your emotions, and your stories can come together in a powerful performance.

How to work the voice ? Practice ? Perform ? Compose ? Interpret a song ?
It's through technic but also practising songs from your favourite artists that you understand how to place your voice and sing your song and achieve your musical journey. Starting from the basics like breathing support, vocal routines, learning songs to practising stage presence, composition.
In my classes, I go through all this points and focus on what the student needs and wish to learn.

I had the chance to learn with the greatest Jazz singers of the New York scene. I studied, Jazz, Pop, Classical singing, which lead me to understand the voice in its full. For five years I focused on performing and touring with my different projects, and there I built my skills for the stage and being comfortable in front of a crowd.

Singing should be one thing above all: fun! My lessons focus on your personal development and your well-being. I tailor each lesson to your voice, your level, and your goals – whether it's just for fun, to prepare for performances, or for exams.

Together, we'll work on your singing and breathing technique and find the perfect place for your voice. You choose songs you'd like to sing—or I can help you find suitable pieces. Whether it's musicals, pop, rock, jazz, or soul—I'll accompany you in a wide variety of musical styles.

A typical lesson includes:
Warm-up: Relaxation and breathing exercises for a relaxed start
Voice training: Exercises through all registers (chest, mixed and head voice)
Song work: Interpretation and technical implementation of your desired song

The combination of technique and emotion is particularly important to me. We delve into the lyrics to find the right feeling for your interpretation – this will make your singing authentic and expressive.

Let's discover and develop your voice together! I look forward to hearing from you.

I look forward to meeting you,
Marco
