Jazz piano lessons in Berlin. Learn to improvise!

Hey there =)

Interested in learning piano?
Or improving your songwriting or producing?

Maybe you are a complete beginner, or maybe you already know a lot and you’d like to expand your skills with some guidance and accountability. I am happy to share what I know with anyone. All ages & skill levels are welcome!

Lessons can include:
Learning songs
How to practice effectively
Understanding harmony and music theory
Playing by ear and listening skills
Playing with great rhythm
Scales, exercises, and proper technique
Chord voicings & harmonic wizardry
How to improvise
and more =)

I like to give my students the tools to teach themselves and I believe learning music can be fun and engaging, even when beginning.

I'll ask, 'what do you want to be able to do with the piano?' And then I can help you make a plan for how to get there.

I have a jazz background and I love to improvise. I have over 10 years of experience playing and performing music, specializing in jazz and improvised music. I studied in New Zealand, earning a Bachelor of Music specializing in jazz piano and composition. I have been teaching piano for over 7 years now, and have been living here in Berlin for over 5 years.

You can see me play here, in some videos from a concert I arranged a while ago:
