Piano and electric bass lessons in the middle of Bern (Aarbergergasse)

From 103.39 £ /h

My focus is on the styles of rock/pop/jazz and improvisation. I would also be happy to delve into music theory and show you the basics (and beyond...) of harmony.

If you're not a grader, it doesn't matter! My first piano lessons were very note based and almost ruined my playing! I'm a firm believer that playing songs by ear from the start helps us absorb songs faster. Of course, the eyes also work and shape patterns, figures and tone sequences on the fretboard or. on the keyboard. Of course, I would also be happy to teach you how to read music.

About Me

At the age of 6 I started playing the first Beatles tunes on my mother's shabby mini keyboard. During junior high I spent time playing jembe and learned my first jazz standard on the piano (must have been Autumn Leaves...). My teacher at the time, Nisu, taught me not only improvisation but also juggling (how cool is that...).

One day my brother brought home an electric bass guitar: Since there was no bassist in my later formed rock band, I took over this position (and my brother's bass...). A little later I attended the PreCollege at the Bern Jazz School (piano was still my main subject at the time) and barely lasted half a year. I wanted to make music, tour and write songs and not mess with sheet music. (I'll catch up on that today, about 10 years later...)

During my vocational baccalaureate I got to know my band and family from The Souls, moved to Thun and founded the legendary Band-WG im Bälliz. That was the beginning of a story that would change my life like nothing else on this globe….
13 years later we can look back on over 400 concerts at home and abroad. From the stinky pub with 3 drunk Englishmen to the sold-out Hallenstadion, there was something of everything. We were allowed to perform at the largest, medium-sized and very small festivals in Switzerland, toured through countries like England, Ukraine, Singapore, America and our neighboring countries and were allowed to work with many renowned producers all over the world.

From 2019 to 2022 I completed my bachelor's degree at the WIAM (Winterthur Institute for Contemporary Music) and have been playing in various jazz, funk and experimental projects ever since. My musical horizon has expanded and my interest in theoretical music topics is constantly growing. I now teach electric bass, piano and harmony in the old town of Bern and am on the road as a session musician (live and studio) and as a band coach. Follow me on social media to get a little insight into my current life or simply write to me via the contact form.

In addition to music, I like to go hiking or treat myself to a cool drink with my friends in one of my favorite pubs in Bern. Sporadically practice yoga, play chess or table tennis.

As a pianist and piano teacher, my goal has always been to bring people closer to classical music and to help them develop creativity, emotional and intellectual abilities through music. My intention as a musician is to connect the world of classical music with everyone and to make it understandable, interesting and close for everyone.

I teach piano playing with competence and joy! I have worked in various music schools for 7 years and taught privately. My unique and proven method for adult and small beginners will lead you to your goal without stress and pressure :)

This course is intended for beginners but also for advanced people who would like to deepen their approach to music. Whether you are an instrumentalist wishing to acquire basics in electronic music, or a "Producer" looking to learn music theory, I can guide you in a global or specialized approach to musical creation.
We may or may not have recourse to the use of the piano, which is an ideal tool for creating a bridge between electronic music and instrumental music.
All ages are welcome, I find it as easy to coach in musical creation for adults as I do musical awakening for children.

The cello has a unique sound that changes depending on the style you are interpreting.

For example, baroque and contemporary music differ greatly in their interpretation and playing style. What musical styles do you enjoy playing most on the cello? I'd be happy to help you play your favorite pieces from pop, world, or classical music, and make your lessons interesting and motivating. Thanks to the instrument, you can convey the full depths of human emotion, which will make music even more beloved and stay in your heart for a lifetime.

✏️TEACHING CONCEPT. ✏️

💡 I like to approach music as a language. Just as we learn to speak by first listening,
understanding, recognizing, and imitating words before learning to read and write them, I
believe that musical learning should follow a similar path. That’s why I place strong
emphasis on aural development, listening, and internalizing sound before focusing on
notation.

💡 My teaching is based on experience, intuition, and exploration. I aim to create a space where
each student feels free to play, discover, and express themselves, encouraging them to
follow their own curiosity and find personal meaning in music.

💡 I always adapt to the needs and goals of each student. Some come with a clear desire to
study classical repertoire, and in those cases I introduce reading and technical work from the
beginning — but always in a way that connects with the music’s expressive and structural
elements, not just as abstract exercises. I believe analysis, understanding, and creativity can
go hand in hand with solid technical and reading skills. Others want to accompany
themselves while singing, or ask for tools to help them create and develop their own musical
ideas. I enjoy guiding each of them through these different paths, offering a wide range of
resources and approaches.

💡 I also pay close attention to each student’s musical interests when choosing repertoire.
Whether they’re drawn to classical, pop, jazz, or music from games or films, I believe it’s
possible to build strong musical foundations by working with music they connect with. No
matter the style, we can explore technical, rhythmic, harmonic, and expressive aspects that
will contribute to their overall development and motivation.

✨My goal is to nurture a deep, joyful, and personal relationship with music in every student,
regardless of age, level, or background.✨
