As a pianist myself I teach all ages and all skill levels. The student can choose what kind of music he/she wishes to learn whether it's classical, pop, jazz etc. The lessons will focus not only on the playing aspect but will also incorporate theory to further the knowledge of music. When a student is a complete beginner, it is my advice that we start with a classical method of teaching the piano which incorporates the use of a method book. This way the student already starts playing music from the beginning and will also simultaneously learn to read notes. When a student already has some experience we can easily continue from the level that he/she is currently at.

These lessons will focus on writing your own piano compositions as well as being able to perform them yourself. I will teach you about musical form and structure, melody, harmony, notation and other essential theoretical knowledge. We will incorporate regular piano lessons in which you'll learn the necessary skills of playing the piano and there is no limit to the style in which you wish to compose your next masterpiece! It is advisable that the student wishing to take these combined lessons already has a bit of experience with playing the piano. This doesn't particularly mean the ability to read notes but rather having a sense for playing the keys on the piano.

In these lessons the focus will be completely on teaching the student how to compose his/her own music. The music will incorporate advanced skills like score reading, analysis and structure of music, theory, orchestration and much more. These are the only lessons that are mainly focused on the writing of (contemporary) classical music or the writing of film music and require the student to already have a basic knowledge of music and the ability to read notes. In the case that a student wishes to focus on writing film music it is required that the student brings his/her own computer and has some knowledge of the DAW software that he/she chooses to use.
