About Me
Hello everyone! My name is Gareth, I'm 29 years old and I come from Belfast, Ireland. I have been a flute and music teacher for over 10 years, and have recently opened a brand new Private Music Studio here in Cologne, Germany.

Having obtained a Bachelor of Music from the Royal Welsh College of Music and then a postgraduate diploma from the École Normale de Musique de Paris, I have since worked as an orchestral, solo and chamber musician across Europe.

As a teacher, I currently hold a position with the G.F Handel Music Academy (in partnership with St George's British International School) here in Cologne, Germany. I specialise in flute and music theory, however I also offer lessons in other woodwind instruments.

My teaching philosophy is simple: progress via enjoyment. This is at the heart of all my teaching; that enjoying the process of learning leads to better progress. I see my primary role as a teacher to try and pass on the passion I have not only for music, but for the learning process and the benefits it can bring us across our lives.

Together we’ll set short term targets and long term goals, and achieving these will not only bring musical benefits, but also developments in creativity, work ethic, confidence and self-esteem. Learning a musical instrument can pay dividends for decades to come!

All my lessons are available in-person or online, and in English or French.

I also proudly have a 100% pass record with the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) exams and am happy to prepare students for these exams, if they wish!

I can't wait to hear from you!

Hello, I’m a franco-Peruvian singer, living in Cologne where I recently finished my studies.

I teach singing for all ages and levels in Cologne, at my place in Mülheim, and I can also come to yours if you’re residing in the Cologne region. I’m also offering Skype/Zoom lessons, with which I’ve had incredible success. I can teach in my maternal languages french, spanish and english as well as german of course.

I have a long experience as a choir conductor for primary school children as well as private teacher for young adults and people wanting to discover their voices and get a healthy, solid technique.
I have also specialised in people who had issues singing in tune, and have had great success with solving those issues in just a few lessons.

I would be delighted to hear from you!

In my 15 years of teaching experience, I have worked with children from the age of 3 in kindergarten and adults in music schools.
For 4 years I have been giving private piano lessons in the Cologne area and teaching classical music and pop. I also offer preparatory courses for the music exam.

It is important to me that each of my students can achieve their desired goal. For this I use teaching methods individually tailored to each individual student as well as suitable German and international textbooks. (Yamaha, Alfred's, Hal Leonard, etc.)

The learning objectives of my lesson:
- play with classical music
- Playing by ear with pop, rock or contemporary music to create your own arrangement of pieces
- Basic knowledge of music theory to compose simple pieces
-To be able to improvise basic

Hallo!

I am a Spanish horn player based in Cologne. I started studying music at 6 years old and I studied my bachelor's degree in Madrid and my Master's degree in Amsterdam.

No matter what your expectations are, I am a flexible teacher with experience in teaching people of all ages, levels, musical preferences, and backgrounds. The lessons will be adapted to the student's progress, circumstances, and requirements.

I balance musicianship and fun by making sure that in each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but always end with something fun such as your favorite sheet music or song.

Dear violin enthusiasts,

I come from a family of musicians and I am a violin teacher full of energy and desire to pass on my knowledge and my love for music.

I offer violin lessons for beginners, advanced and returnees.

I still have a few places available.
Lessons are flexible, usually in the afternoons and possibly on Saturdays as well.

Face-to-face lessons in Cologne or online lessons possible.

You can find more information about me and my course design here:


I can also help you find a violin and advise you.

Student reviews:

'' Ani is a super nice, competent ', reliable and patient violin teacher. My children (9 years and 13 years), who have been with her for over a year now, feel very comfortable and are making great progress.
The digital lessons during the Corona Lockdown also worked out great.

A clear recommendation. ''

Christian and Nike

'' We are happy to have Ann as a violin teacher for our son. She teaches pleasantly, consistently, harmoniously and very competently. You can always rely on her and our son has found great joy. ''

Michel

At the beginning we can do a first lesson. You can then decide, without obligation, whether and how you want to continue.
What you would need to get started would be an instrument, violin and bow, and a shoulder rest.

If you want to know more about the design of my lessons, you can find more here:



I would be happy to help you with your individual learning process :)

Hello everybody!

I also offer:
- 60 minutes of teaching time
- Videos and tabs to take home after every lesson
- Lessons also during the holidays
- flexible teaching time for people who, for example, work in shifts

Hello there!
My name is Rocco, I’m a guitarist and educator currently based in Cologne, and I’m offering private guitar lessons taught in English -or Italian (aber ich spreche auch ein bisschen Deutsch..!).

Here are some infos about myself:

I grew up in Italy, and graduated at the ArtEZ Conservatory in Arnhem (NL) in 2019.
During the last few years I attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston (2014), won the “Locomotive Jazz Festival Giovani” contest (2015), and played and recorded together with musicians such as Jerome Hol, René Creemers, Andre Groen, Pieter Douma and Alan Purves.
I have performed in several music festivals such as North Sea Jazz, Moers Festival, InJazz, MusicMeeting, Lowlands, Make-it Jazz, and more.

I am currently busy with several projects in the modern jazz scene in Germany and The Netherlands, while teaching in an international school in The Netherlands and having private students in Cologne.
I have been giving private lessons since six years now, both classic guitar (focusing on classical technique, reading and interpreting) and electric (mainly jazz/blues/rock vocabulary and improvisation).




- Flexible appointments (also in weekends);
- Every lesson pack is also available online, with a reduced fee;
- Available for beginners intermediate and advanced level;
- Our in-person lessons can take place either around the Cologne Ehrenfeld Station or in Eupenerstrasse.

Whether you are new to the instrument, or a fully experienced musician who maybe wants to confront a new improvisational approach towards complex jazz harmonies

I adapt 100% to the needs of each individual student. This is the biggest advantage of private lessons.

- Bachelor of Music Theory / Composition / Musicology (support as well as expansion of counterpoint, fugue, orchestration, analysis, theory of harmony...).

- Applicants for Bachelor and other entrance exams (preparation for the composition exam, theory and ear training for instrumentalists, etc.)

Hello dear flute fans, modern and historical :-)
For me, music is not just sound, but also expression, connection, and a lifelong learning process. Teaching is fulfilling because I get to witness how music opens doors, builds self-confidence, and unleashes creativity. Every student has their own story, their own pace, and individual goals – this makes the lessons lively and unique. I give my best, am patient, curious, and always open to my students. It is simply a gift to be part of this journey and to discover the language of music together with my students. I teach modern flute, transverse flute, and recorder.
