For children, around age 6 is a good starting point. Younger children may benefit from waiting until they are ready to focus and learn more independently.
For adults, there is no fixed age when you are “too old.” Your health, energy and motivation matter much more than your age. Whether you’re 30, 50 or 60, you can still learn, develop your musical skills and enjoy making music.
You already have what you need to begin. Most people have an average level of musical ability, and that is more than enough to learn.
Musicality develops through listening, playing, curiosity and experience. You don’t need to be exceptionally talented to enjoy making music.
Not at all. You can start without knowing how to read a single note.
I’ll introduce music reading as you learn to play, so that reading music and making music develop together.
You don’t need one for the introductory lesson. Before continuing with regular lessons, however, you should have an instrument at home.
A good digital piano with weighted keys is perfectly fine. An acoustic piano or grand piano gives you a different playing experience, but you don’t need one to get started.
I’m also happy to advise you before you buy an instrument.
For beginners, weekly lessons are usually the best way to build a good foundation and keep a clear connection between one lesson and the next.
As you become more independent, every two weeks can also work well. Your schedule and goals matter, so we can find a rhythm that works for you.
You don’t need to spend hours at the piano every day. Regular, focused practice is much more useful than occasional long sessions.
I’ll help you understand what to practise and how to use the time you have. Even on a busy week, you should know what is worth working on.
That’s okay. You don’t have to feel embarrassed about it.
Life gets busy. We look at where you are, work with what you have done, and decide what makes sense next. The goal is to help you move forward, not to make you feel guilty.
No. Your musical interests are an important part of the lessons.
You might learn classical music, pop, film music, blues, jazz or improvisation. We start with the fundamentals you need, but there is room for the music that makes you want to sit down at the piano.
No. Classical music can teach you a lot, but it isn’t the only way to learn the piano.
The important thing is to develop the skills you need for the music you want to make. Sometimes that means classical technique. Sometimes it means chords, improvisation, playing by ear or something else.
You’re certainly not alone. Sometimes the problem isn’t the piano—it is the way the learning was approached.
If you have tried lessons, apps or teaching yourself and got stuck, we can look at what happened and start from where you are now.
Yes, but progress looks different for every student. You should be able to notice the difference in your playing and your understanding over time.
We’ll work on the things that matter for your goals, whether that means playing a particular piece, improving your technique, understanding harmony or simply feeling more comfortable at the piano.
Yes. You’ll know what to work on between lessons.
The amount of practice and the specific tasks will depend on your goals, your level and the time you have available.
Yes. Many adults have work, family and plenty of other things competing for their attention. You don’t need a perfect schedule to learn the piano.
We’ll make the most of the time you actually have and focus on what will make the biggest difference.
Absolutely. Adults learn differently from children, and I enjoy teaching both.
You may have very little previous experience, or you may be returning to the piano after many years. Either way, we start from where you are and build from there.
I believe children should experience the joy of making music, not just the work of learning an instrument.
There are fundamentals to learn, of course. But children also need music that interests them, achievable challenges and the feeling that they are getting somewhere.
Over time, they also learn something valuable beyond the piano: how to stay with something, work on it and experience the difference that effort makes.
Parents don’t need to become piano teachers at home. Your role is mainly to give your child the opportunity and space to practise.
I’ll explain what your child is working on and what they can practise between lessons.
Younger children may need more support at home, while older children can gradually take more responsibility themselves.
You don’t have to decide based on a website. That’s what the introductory lesson is for.
You’ll meet me, experience how I teach, talk about your goals and get a feel for whether the lessons are right for you or your child.
No long-term contract is required. The lessons are designed to give you flexibility.
You can book individual lessons or choose a 4-lesson or 12-lesson card, depending on what works best for you.
The introductory lesson is discounted for new students. After that, you can choose between individual lessons and 4-lesson or 12-lesson cards.
You can find the current prices on the pricing page.
The introductory lesson is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what you want from your piano lessons.
We’ll talk about your musical experience, the music you enjoy and what you’d like to learn. You’ll also experience a real lesson so you can see how I teach.
The introductory lesson is not free, but it is offered at a reduced price. There is no pressure to continue afterwards.
That’s perfectly fine. You don’t need to arrive with a complete plan.
We’ll talk about what interests you, what you’ve enjoyed listening to or playing, and where you are now. From there, we can work out a sensible place to begin.
Yes. Flexibility is one of the reasons I use lesson cards.
You don’t have to fit your life around a rigid school timetable. We can arrange lessons around your schedule, while still keeping enough regularity to make good progress.
The focus is on personal lessons in my studio, where you can play and learn on a Steinway grand piano. If online lessons are more suitable for you, they can also be arranged.
We can discuss what makes the most sense for your situation.
There is a lot of room to explore. Classical music, pop, film music, blues, jazz, improvisation, playing by ear and music theory can all be part of your learning.
The important question is not simply what style you should learn, but what music you want to make and which skills will help you get there.
