About Me

Hi, I’m Jing – a classically trained violinist from China with over 20 years of playing experience. I’m passionate about teaching music in a way that’s both structured and flexible, tailoring each lesson to suit your level, goals, and musical interests.

In the lessons, you’ll not only learn how to play the violin but also gain a solid foundation in music theory, rhythm, and musical expression.

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!

Hi there, I'm a professional violin and viola teacher, teaching in person and online, in English, German or Russian.

Alongside teaching 1:1 and coaching chamber music over the last 12 years, I've led numerous workshops, including ‘Music First’ and ‘Music Masters’ in the UK and taught on the Primary and Senior Arpeggione Viola Courses run by Jacky Woods, coaching some of the UK’s leading young musicians. As a member of the European String Teachers’ Association, I have participated in ESTA conferences across Europe, including at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, and in Valletta, Europe’s cultural capital in 2018.

I regularly prepare his students for auditions, competitions and exams at all levels, and has a holistic teaching style incorporating music theory, aural and sight reading skills and physical awareness. Many of my students have won regional and national competitions and have been accepted into specialist music schools and youth orchestras.

Outside of teaching, I performs internationally as a soloist and chamber musician, recently including at Kings Place London, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and Philharmonie Berlin. I received first prize at the Małopolska competition, the Barbirolli Prize at the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition and the Len Lickorish Memorial Prize at the Royal Overseas League International Strings Competition.

I hold a Masters degree with first class honours from the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler Berlin, where I studied with Tabea Zimmermann, and the University of Arts, where I studied with Lawrence Power, as well as a Bachelors degree with the same distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, where I began in the primary department 20 years ago.

Hi my name is Anne.

I play the violin and the viola and I have studied at the conservatory at ArtEZ Jazz & Pop.

During my studies I started to build by violin teacher practice. Apart from my private students I taught at the music school "Muziekdorp" in Wijchen and coached a band of high school students for a year.
Next to teaching I play concerts with the "Metropole Academy", I have a string quartet "The Four Frogs in te Woods", and I'm playing in a Folk string duo.

Students of all ages and categories are welcome in my lesson.
Classical, Folk, Rock, Pop, Jazz, and free improvisation are some of the genres you can discover in our lessons.
I did a Teacher Training with the American Violinist Mark O'Connor and finished this training with a diploma. His method is a very beautiful and comprehensive way to learn the variety of the violinistic possibilities.

We will play a lot of music together.
Starting with a correct violin posture you will develop a brought variety of techniques to find your own style.

Being able to play an instrument is an enrichment for everyone!

I would be happy to meet you.

Hi!

Have you ever dreamed of strumming your guitar to your own original songs, feeling that electric thrill of creating something truly yours? My name is Aleksi and I am a Berlin based guitar teacher, singer, musician and professional songwriter. I am offering private guitar lessons (EN) with an added focus on songwriting. With me you can learn techniques like:

🎸 Guitar Mastery: From basic chords and fingerpicking to advanced techniques like soloing and singing and playing at the same time. I'll help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be.

📝 Songwriting Skills: Unleash your creativity and learn how to craft songs that resonate. From writing legendary lyrics to creating memorable melodies, I'll help you find your unique voice.

Whether you are a beginner (looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to even start) or an experienced player (playing the same chords over and over again wondering what the next step is); my lessons are open to everyone with a love of music and a willingness to learn.

Lessons are provided in my dedicated home studio room near Sonnenallee.

I am really looking forward to hearing about you and what you are looking to learn!

Let's learn music theory at your own pace! Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your existing knowledge, my Music Theory for All Levels course is designed to be flexible. I've taught many topics, from the basics of reading music, college level ear-training, Renaissance and Baroque counterpoint, Classical harmonic analysis, Jazz harmony, and 20th century techniques.

We’ll use your prefered music and instruments (or voice!) to make the learning process relevant and enjoyable. Whether you're a curious beginner, a performer looking to refine your knowledge, or a composer aiming for a deeper dive, this course is for everyone.

Hi! My name is Alice and I am a professional violinist based in Berlin.
I offer violin and viola lessons from beginner to advanced players and my goal is to foster a strong foundation while tailoring lessons to each student’s individual goals and interests.

I graduated with honors from the “Monteverdi” Conservatory in Italy and I hold a Bachelor and Master’s Degree from the Mozarteum University Salzburg, having studied with Prof. Lukas Hagen and Prof. Klara Flieder. I performed all over Europe and in South America with renowned ensembles such as Camerata Salzburg and Munich Chamber Orchestra.

I emphasize the development of solid technical skills while nurturing each student’s musical expression and creativity. Whether you are preparing for a performance or playing for personal enjoyment, I strive to make each lesson engaging and fulfilling, allowing students to progress at their own pace while enjoying the process.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch!

As a classically trained violinist with orchestral experience across Europe, I offer structured yet flexible lessons that combine solid technical foundations with musical expressiveness.

We will work on: bowing technique and left-hand posture, scales, arpeggios and etudes, repertoire of your choice (classical, contemporary, or pop), sight-reading and music theory basics, and performance preparation.

Lessons are available for all levels — from absolute beginners to advanced students preparing for auditions or conservatory exams. I teach in Italian, English, Chiinese, and German, making lessons accessible to students from many backgrounds.

Klavierunterricht für Kinder ab 4 Jahren, Jugendliche und
Erwachsene. Der Unterricht findet bei Ihnen zu Hause statt, in
jedem Berliner Bezirk, oder auf Wunsch online.

WIE ICH UNTERRICHTE
Eine saubere Technik ist die Grundlage, aber gespielt wird das,
was Sie wirklich hören wollen. Filmmusik, Pop und Klassik
schließen sich nicht aus, und Motivation entsteht genau da, wo
beides zusammenkommt. Bei Kindern arbeite ich geduldig und mit
klarer Struktur, damit zu Hause auch tatsächlich geübt wird.

DIE ERSTE STUNDE
Wir finden zuerst heraus, was Sie oder Ihr Kind wirklich spielen
möchten. Danach schauen wir uns das Instrument an, die Haltung,
die Hände. Am Ende der ersten Stunde haben Sie etwas gespielt,
auch als kompletter Anfänger.

RAHMEN
Fester wöchentlicher Termin, 30, 45 oder 60 Minuten. Ein Klavier
oder ein Keyboard zum Üben genügt für den Anfang. Fahrzeit und
Vorbereitungszeit sind im Preis enthalten.

---------------------------------------------------------

Piano lessons for children from age 4, teenagers and adults, at
your home anywhere in Berlin, or online if you prefer. Lessons
in English, Turkish or German.

Clean technique is the foundation, but we play the music that
actually pulls you to the instrument. I have been teaching for
seven years and currently also teach at two Berlin music
schools.

A fixed weekly slot, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. A piano or a keyboard
at home is enough to start. Travel and preparation time are
included in the price.
