My name is Denise and I am a professional singer and vocal coach with a Master’s degree in Historical Singing, Musicology and Music Education from the Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC).

I have over 10 years of teaching experience in Europe and Latin America, working with students from diverse cultural and musical backgrounds in private lessons, artistic projects, and educational contexts.

My artistic work includes early music and chamber repertoire, as well as Latin American folk, jazz, and contemporary crossover styles. This diversity strongly informs my teaching approach, which is flexible, stylistically open, and based on healthy vocal function.

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.

Der Unterricht wird zu 100 % individuell gestaltet und richtet sich nach den Wünschen und Anforderungen der SchülerInnen, aber auch nach meiner Erfahrung, um zu bestimmen, was wir erreichen sollen.
Some topics may be:
- Song recommendations.
- Play solos (Rock/Pop)
- Jazz and improvisation
- Classical music
- Harmony, Contrapunkt and Music Theory. Composition.
Ich habe ein vorheriges Treffen mit dem Schüler, bei dem wir uns kennenlernen, über Musik andere Interessen sprechen, damit ich einen individuellen Lernplan für die ersten Stunden erstellen kann.

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.

Hello! I offer professional guitar lessons for electric, acoustic, classical, and ukulele in a friendly, stress-free atmosphere for both beginners and advanced players. I've been teaching for about six years and have been involved with the instrument for over twelve years.

I'm a finalist in global competitions and a winner in national contests, both as a solo artist and in groups.

Whether you're taking your first steps or need help with technique and theory, you've come to the right place! I approach the instrument comprehensively. We can work on specific styles: technical prog metal playing, rock, jazz standards, blues, classical, fingerstyle. I also have significant knowledge of recording and guitar processing in DAW software and can assist in that area as well.

Online lessons via Skype, Zoom, Google Meets

During lessons, we mainly focus on:

Developing proper playing technique,
Playing songs you enjoy,
Improvisation,
Mastering music theory,
Navigating the fretboard smoothly,
Having a great time
After each lesson, I provide educational materials.

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, my name is Pia and I'm a flautist. :) I started learning the flute at the age of 8. I loved it right away, so after music school, I continued my studies at the conservatory in Maribor (Slovenia). I then studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. In 2024, I completed my bachelor's degree at the Gustav Mahler Private University in Klagenfurt. There, I earned a degree in concert performance and a degree in instrumental pedagogy.
During my studies, I also completed a specialization course in early music, majoring in transverse flute. Therefore, I also offer lessons for beginners on this beautiful baroque instrument.
During my studies, I had several private students with whom I explored the sounds of the flute and various genres (classical, pop, jazz, folk music, improvisation, etc.). My lessons are relaxed and communicative, full of collaborative music-making.
Classes can also take place online.

Beginners are just as welcome as those who want to deepen their knowledge or start playing the flute again after some time! :)

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 electric bass
- Understanding and coming up with a bassline
- What makes it groove?
- How to improvise: soloing and walking bass
- 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

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

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!

Practical, structured piano lessons for children, teenagers and adults — from first notes to advanced repertoire.

We’ll work on:

healthy technique, sound and musical phrasing

reading skills (sight-reading), rhythm and coordination

music theory and ear training (as needed)

efficient practice habits and clear weekly goals

exam preparation (ABRSM / Trinity), auditions and performance confidence

Lessons can be classical-focused, mixed-style, or aimed at specific short-term goals (a piece, an exam, an audition, a recital). I can also help with collaboration skills for singers/instrumentalists and accompaniment preparation.

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 offer structured and individualized piano and music lessons for children, teenagers and adults, from complete beginners to advanced students.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Music with a specialization in Music Theory and have several years of teaching experience in piano, solfège, harmony and musicianship.

My approach is based on developing the student as a complete musician. Alongside piano technique and repertoire, I place strong emphasis on reading music, rhythm, ear training, musical understanding and healthy playing habits.

For beginners, lessons are organized step by step so that the fundamentals are built correctly from the beginning. For students who already have experience, the lessons can focus more specifically on technique, interpretation, harmony, theory or repertoire.

I also offer specialized lessons in:

• Piano
• Music Theory
• Harmony and Voice Leading
• Ear Training and Solfège
• Musical Analysis
• Composition
• Preparation for music-school, conservatory and university entrance examinations

Lessons are always adapted to the student’s age, level and individual goals.

I have experience teaching children and teenagers as well as adults, and I particularly value a structured learning process in which students understand not only what they are playing, but also how and why the music works.

Lessons are available in English, German and Arabic.
