Jazz piano/synthesizer lessons for music enthusiasts of all levels | Piano fundamentals, improvisation, jazz harmony, theory, & ear training

From 46 £ /h

The rule is simple: don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself! Students are encouraged to try, fail, and overall be proactive in learning new information in bite-sized chunks: all of that in a warm and comforting environment.

Depending on the personal goal of the student, we will learn/refine/explore the following topics:
- Fundamental techniques of playing piano
- How to read and play chords
- How to play an improvised solo
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear
- Exploring piano-looking-like instruments such as electric keyboards and subtractive synthesizers

About Me

So, this is where people write fancy things about themselves...

I can write a little about myself too. I have studied and performed on three different continents, obtaining a master's degree in jazz piano and a bachelor's degree in jazz electric bass while playing in the local scenes and touring internationally as well. I've participated in several jazz and jazz-fusion-originated projects and many more, from theatre pit performances to avant-garde and modern classical projects as well. This is also when I started to take music teaching seriously: providing private instrument lessons on both piano and bass, leading group studies for piano and music theory, and participating as an ear-training TA, teaching a Digital Music Notation course, and substituting for the instructor faculty for their classes at my alma mater as well.

But what is the point of all this?

Over the years, I have witnessed friends and colleagues - despite studying with the brightest musicians in the best institutions - quit music nevertheless, or even worse: be so proficient in it but simultaneously be completely indifferent to it from the inside - almost like a zombie.

Of course, learning and mastering the craft of music is critical (after all, we all do want to be good musicians), but what is just as pivotal (if not more) is the spark: the spark that triggers your curiosity and makes you impatient for what is going to be happening next; the spark that brings back the life in the eyes; and the spark that made me commit to the risky change of the course from a stable academic career to a full-time musicianship 14 years ago.

I sincerely wish to communicate that same enthusiasm to you!

Experience / Qualifications

I have taught piano, electric bass, and music theory to a diverse group of people in a variety of settings - their ages ranging from early teens to senior citizens, and the experiences ranging from almost complete beginners to enthusiastic hobbyists and students who are preparing for or are already accepted to conservatoires.

My main fields are jazz piano, pop piano, classical piano(beginner-intermediate level), and electric bass. Topics include instrumental technique, improvisation, reading music, understanding harmony, and ear training.

While most of my lessons were in the form of private lessons, I have led group studies for university circles for jazz piano and jazz harmony, was the conservatorium instructor for a Digital Music Notation class(Sibelius), and, already during my conservatoire years, was a solid pick for teachers to substitute for their ensemble and ear training classes while they were absent.

I have been teaching for more than 15 years, first in my hometown Buenos Aires (Argentina) and since 2019 in Austria (Graz and Vienna).
Classes are 100% personalized, following the student's wishes/requirements but also my experience to determine what we should achieve.
Some of the topics may include:
- Accompaniment of songs.
- Playing solos (Rock/Pop)
- Jazz and improvisation
- Classical music
- Harmony, counterpoint, and music theory. Composition.
I have a pre-meeting with the student, where we get to know each other, talk about music and other interests, and then create a personalized study plan for the first classes.

Composition is hard to define and is by no means limited to one particular style or genre. Our meetings would provide a framework and the context for you to delve deeper into your chosen ideas and creations.

As well as composition, I am able to assist you with music theory, ear training, piano and general musicianship. I plan my lessons individually and orientate myself towards your goals. Whether you want to create a Bach fugue or a new single for your EDM album, I would be there to support your stylistic decisions.

May I introduce myself?

my name is Yunjeong.
I was born in 1996 in Ulsan, South Korea.
When I was a child, I loved listening to classical music a lot. I started playing the piano when I was 6.
In 2012 I started studying at Busan High School of Arts. I graduated from this course when I was 19, and then went on to study at Chugye Art University in Seoul. There I had the opportunity to learn a lot and to play with different musicians.
I am currently attending the Franz Schubert Conservatory for a Master of Music. I'm studying piano there.

While learning to play the piano, I have taught diverse students with different musical experiences.

I could see a lot of improvement besides that.

I still want to teach more students for your fun, aim, study and achieve well enough.

I would be very happy if I could teach many students with my knowledge of music.

I can teach you how to sing with piano playing, how to read sheet music quickly effectively, how to improve a sense of music.

I offer classes tailored to the level of each student.

If you are interested about me, please message me!

Thanks for the attention!

I offer piano lessons for adults and children, tailored to your goals and preferences. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes. Lessons are conducted in English, German and Russian. I teach piano at home in Vienna’s 3rd district and online on a beautiful Yamaha piano.

I have a full class of 13 students. Each semester, I organize a recital. If they wish, even my online students can take part through a live stream :)

I am an award-winning pianist in international competitions, a graduate of the Moscow Conservatory named after P.I. Tchaikovsky (BA), and currently a student at the Anton Bruckner University in Austria (MA).

I have developed my own teaching methodology, which varies depending on the student's age, skill level, and preferences. With extensive teaching experience for both adults and children, I have completed pedagogical practice and a piano teaching methodology course at the Moscow Conservatory. I teach beginners from scratch, prepare school students for exams, competitions, concerts, and entrance exams. Additionally, I teach solfeggio, music theory, ear training, rhythm development, hand positioning, and stage performance skills. I work on both classical repertoire and any pieces the student desires. I create custom arrangements for my students, including simplified versions of difficult pieces.

My online setup makes the lessons feel just like in-person: I use a tripod to demonstrate my hands and provide an online screen display for sheet music. After each lesson, I send video tutorials for clear, visual examples.

Hello!

My name is Diana and I am a concert pianist with over 10 years experience in teaching.

I studied piano performance (Pre-College, Bachelor’s and Master’s) at the Universität Mozarteum in Salzburg and graduated with honors. Since 2016 I have been increasingly focusing on my pedagogical activity.

Whether you are a beginner or you’re more experienced, everybody is welcome, regardless of age.

In my teaching, my main goal is to help you find joy in making music, develop a healthy, efficient technique and a deeper understanding of the way music works.

I am generally very flexible/adaptive and I try to support my students in making consistent progress and reaching their own individual goals.

I teach classical music, as well as pop-, rock- and film music. The most important thing is that you enjoy it.

Looking forward to hearing from you! :)

I am a violinist based in Vienna with extensive performance and teaching experience. The last few years I have studied in many cities (such as Frankfurt, Brussels and Amsterdam), learning from some of the best music professors in Europe.

Have you always wanted to play the violin? Or maybe your child is into music and would love to learn to play an instrument? Then, this might be a great opportunity for you to fulfill that desire.

If on the contrary you are an advanced student, I would love to help you build solid technique and support your own musicality.

On the other hand, I do love all kinds of music. I am happy to work with you in Pop or Folk songs for example. I did play many years in Pop and Folk bands at different venues, such as resorts in Greece! If you would like to, any song can be arranged and played on the violin.

I love meeting new students and helping them through their journey with the instrument. Every individual has different needs and goals and as a teacher I work together with every student, giving them the tools, knowledge and support they need to reach those goals.

Making music and learning how to do it should be always a enjoyable process. Fortunately, when you like music and have a supportive and experienced teacher, helping you out and giving you the tools you need in every moment, that joy and stress-free music-making comes easily.

I have 10 years of experience teaching private lessons to different ages and levels and several years of teaching internships during my studies.

Please, do not hesitate to contact me for any further questions or book.

Hello! I am offering informal, beginner's piano lessons in English for those who have little to no experience. I have studied music in the UK, completing Grade 8 (ABRSM) and A level music. I offer a patient and open minded approach to learning music and believe strongly that practice is something that should be enjoyed, not dreaded!

I look forward to meeting you :)

Beginner to advanced one-on-one private tuition on Brass instruments.There is no age too young or old to start your musical life, and I believe the best way to do that is to play something loud and shiny. I have nearly 10 years of experience performing with some of the top orchestras in the United Kingdom, and have been teaching beginners to pensioners during that time too. My main instrument is French Horn, but I am happy to teach all Brass. All that is required of you is passion practice!

My lessons are especially for you if you want to achieve freedom and ease at the piano.

As a composer, I develop my ideas through improvisation at the piano, which, trained through technique and knowledge, allows for a free discovery of one's own music.
So you not only learn to play your favorite songs, but also to understand them and to come up with similar ones yourself.

The lessons are completely flexible, and the focus is on fun and discovery. We can learn to play from sheet music or by ear. We can include harmony, rhythm, and ear training – whatever you prefer.

It is also possible to focus on only one of these areas if you want to prepare for an entrance exam or something similar [rhythm and ear training].

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced student looking to refine your skills, my flute lessons are tailored to your individual needs and goals. As a professional flutist and master’s student in music, I combine a strong technical foundation with a creative and motivating approach to learning.

In my lessons, we focus not only on technique (breathing, tone production, articulation, and finger technique), but also on musical expression, interpretation, and confidence. I believe that enjoying the process of making music is essential for long-term progress, so I adapt each lesson to suit your interests, whether that’s classical repertoire, orchestral excerpts, or simply playing for fun.

I aim to create a positive and inspiring learning environment where students feel comfortable, motivated, and supported. Lessons are available for children, teenagers, and adults.

What you can expect:

Personalized lesson plans
Strong technical and musical development
A balance between structure and creativity
Support for exams, auditions, or personal goals
A fun and encouraging atmosphere

Let’s explore the flute together and bring your musical ideas to life!

I graduated from the Vienna Music Gymnasium and studied at the Vienna University of Music. I studied instrumental and vocal pedagogy and have many years of teaching experience at various schools. Therefore, I am very well qualified to teach harmony, ear training, and music theory. I am also a pop songwriter and can teach you how to compose songs as well.

Hello and nice to meet you! My name is Sara ~

My experience with guitar started with classical guitar when I was 6 years old and moving on to playing electric guitar at age 14.
Being immersed in playing primarily blues and jazz music.

I have taught students who not only do music as a hobby, but also students with serious career plans in music. I am open to various styles of playing guitar (jazz, blues, fingerstyle, funk, free improvisation and other popular genres) to all levels.

My approach is heavily focused on individual student's goals and needs: If you are just starting to play the instrument, for instance, we will focus on learning the basic technique through simple and easy songs.
If you are intermediate or advanced player already, we will focus on refining your already existing knowledge and find improvements to work on. Or, we can focus on specific themes, for instance improvisation, transcribing, technique and so on.

I also enjoy music theory very much and as I too struggled with grasping the concept when I was younger I am now more than happy to be able to present the world of music theory to anyone who is interested.
We can begin with the basics that can help you improve on your instrument or we can dive deeper into more advanced fields of jazz theory.
Whether you would like to learn music theory for practicality or you have an exam soon and would like to revise/learn more, I am more than happy to help you out on your music theory journey.
