Private piano lessons for beginners taught in English (ages 7-16)

From 23.22 £ /h

I teach kids and young adults ages 7 to 16 who are still in the beginning stages of their piano learning journey. During the class, my students will be introduced to music theory, learn how to read notes, and improve their piano playing skills by learning a piano piece. The focus of the class is to build a solid musical foundation that will last. Nonetheless, I try my best to keep my classes exciting and adjust them based on individual needs.

Class includes:
- Music theory
- Piano exercises for technique
- Note-reading
- Learning a piece + tips
- Sheet music to take home

I have 13 years of experience playing classical piano and am currently studying music production here in Berlin.

About Me

People have said that I have a talent for teaching! And to hear this soothes my heart. Music has been a part of my life ever since I was little. I'm currently an artist and a music producer, though my path started with classical piano. I remember teaching piano pieces to everybody around me including my family and friends. Nothing makes me happier than seeing others improve. I'm here to share a piece of my mind and introduce my students to the magical world of music.

Education

I went to a music school for 7 years and got my diploma in the major of classical piano.
I now moved to Berlin to study BA in music production and just finished my first year.

Experience / Qualifications

I have 13 years of experience in classical piano, and I've been making my own music for 6 years now, which gives me enough experience to understand different concepts of music theory, arrangement, and sound.

I teach piano and keyboard skills with a friendly and encouraging approach. My students learn technical exercises and pieces/songs carefully chosen to suit each individual and I also incorporate relevant music theory. I teach on an upright acoustic piano at my place in Wedding and in some cases travel to the student for lessons.

I have different kind of lessons:

1. Face-to-face lessons of modern singing

Modern singing: technique, improvisation and repertoire
The face-to-face classes take place at a studio in Prenzlauer Berg and are mainly aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music. They have a duration of 50 minutes.

In singing classes, breathing and vocal technique are worked through warm-up exercises, always with the aim of working the voice in a healthy and correct way. My classes are mainly focused on the repertoire of the student’s preferred style, which can be pop, soul, jazz, blues, bossa nova, tango and bolero, among others. Each style is worked differently and with the appropriate resources to lead to a good interpretation.

Both for warm-up and repertoire I usually accompany the student on the piano. Depending on the style sometimes I may work with karaokes. I also teach a good use of the microphone, to fight stage panic and to enjoy a performance on stage. The singing lessons are aimed at people of any level, from beginners to advanced, even to someone who is preparing an exam for an upper grade of modern music.

My main objective is above all that the student feels motivated, and not under pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons.

2. Initiation to piano: modern harmony and auditory education

The piano lessons are aimed primarily at beginners. My intention is mainly to prepare my piano students so that they can later develop a more advanced style with a teacher whose main instrument is the piano. For this, I start with basic exercises for a good hand technique and with simple songs so that the student learns to read music. For those who already have a basic level, I start directly with scales and chords, mostly focusing on teaching songs in modern harmony. The main objective is the motivation of the student, avoiding pressure. For me it is very important that the student enjoys music and the music lessons.

3. Modern singing on-line lessons

Modern singing on-line classes: technique, improvisation and repertoire
Like face-to-face classes, online lessons last 50 minutes. They are also aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music and find virtual classes more comfortable, for whatever reason.

The lessons are given through a virtual meeting app, either Jitsi or Zoom. They are similar to those in the classroom, with the difference that a little more time is devoted to the repertoire than to the technique.

I consider of great importance that the student enjoys the lessons also in this case and does not lose motivation.

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 am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I have a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar from Leeds College of Music although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk, and indie music.

In lessons, I aim to get students to play something they know as soon as possible in order to get excited about progress early on. We balance this with paying attention to proper technique and having one eye on the theory behind what we are playing to broaden your understanding of how music works.

I am actively engaged in playing within the music scene and have a real excitement for all types of music, whether it’s learning your first chords on guitar or working on improvisation or music theory. We'll go at the right pace for you and achieve your goals together.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition for adults. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions.

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons that push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

With over 10 years of professional experience recording, producing, and touring across Europe and North America, I offer personalized lessons in music production, recording, and songwriting. My approach is rooted in mentorship and artistic growth—when I was starting out, I wished for someone to challenge my ideas, help me see things from new perspectives, and guide me toward my own voice in music. This is what I aim to offer: helping you develop your creative identity while learning essential production techniques.

I have worked in big professional studios, recorded albums in old barns, basements, and bedrooms, and learned how to get the best results from any setup. Whether you have a high-end studio or just a laptop and a microphone, I’ll help you maximize your tools and make your craft matter.

What You Can Expect:
Recording & Mixing – Microphone techniques, sound shaping, and dynamic control
Sampling & Synthesis – Creative sound design, modular setups, and textures
Experimental Approaches – Breaking conventional structures and exploring new ideas
Utilizing Your Own Setup – Work with what you have, no big-budget studio required
These lessons are for musicians, producers, and songwriters of all levels who want to expand their technical skills and artistic vision. My goal is to mentor and challenge you, offering new perspectives and helping you unlock the full potential of your music.

Let’s explore your ideas and push your music forward.

I’m Yaniv, a classical guitarist and guitar teacher with over 12 years of playing experience and 7 years of teaching experience.

In my lessons, we focus on enjoying the guitar — building skills, confidence, and a love for the music you play.
We can work together on proper technique, reading notation and tabs, playing songs or classical pieces, improvisation, ear training, rhythm, and music theory — all tailored to your personal goals and level.

I understand every student’s journey, because I’ve been there myself. I started learning on my own, and only when I found great teachers did I realize how much professional guidance can make a real difference.

That’s why I design a personalized learning plan for each student, helping them progress in the best and most enjoyable way possible.

I truly love teaching and guiding students through their musical journeys.
For me, it feels like a calling — a way to pass on the rich traditions and knowledge I’ve received from the great teachers I’ve studied with closely over the years.

Each student is a whole world to me. I believe that every person has a unique musical voice, and my goal is to help them discover and develop it.
Teaching is always a two-way process — I keep learning and growing from every student I work with.
