Piano playing stimulates to a high degree the development of fine motor skills, logical thinking as well as the ability to coordinate several tasks by way of associative thinking.
I offer piano lessons for children from the age of five or six years onwards, for whom weekly lessons of 30min.are recommendable. Depending on his or her ability to concentrate and on the age of a pupil the lessons can be extended and for adults I would always recommend 60min.lessons per week.
I don’t teach group lessons, because in a one to one set up I can better adapt to the wishes and needs of a pupil and also react to individual creative ideas, which especially children often come up with.
Right from the very first lesson I accompany my pupils, playing with them as a duo for four hands. Thus they get to know the harmonic context of even a simple melody. Through the ensemble playing they also develop a better rhythmical awareness.
I encourage my pupils to sing along with the melodies they are playing, which helps them to recognize the musical phrasing and gives them some aural training. Any inhibitions that might arise when asked to sing are usually easily overcome.
If you have not got a piano at home I am happy to offer advice regarding renting or buying an instrument. Good second hand pianos are quite affordable and it is possible to rent one at first to try it out.
The freely floating and warm tone of the flute attracts many people. It allows an intuitive way of expression, which is rather similar to singing.
Playing the flute can have a very healing effect in the case of asthma or chronicle bronchitis, because the player has to constantly take deep breaths, which in turn strengthens the lungs. I speak here from my own experience and also from that of some of my pupils.
I offer flute lessons for children from the age of about ten years onwards. Some experience in recorder playing is a considerable advantage but not a necessary condition. For beginners usually weekly lessons of 30min.are recommendable. Depending on his or her ability to concentrate and on the stamina of a pupil the lessons can be extended and for adults I would always recommend 60min.lessons per week.
I don’t teach group lessons, because in a one to one set up I can better adapt to the wishes and needs of a pupil and also react to individual creative ideas, which especially children often come up with.
Right from the very first lesson I accompany my pupils either with the flute or on the piano. Thus I can guide them towards finding a good tone through hearing me play as well as help them to recognize the harmonic context of a melody. Through the ensemble playing they also develop a better rhythmical awareness.
I encourage my pupils to sing the melodies they have learned to play, in order to help them to better recognize the musical phrasing and to give them some aural training. Any inhibitions that might arise when asked to sing are usually easily overcome.
If you don’t yet have an instrument, you can hire one from me for a small monthly fee to try it out. I am also happy to offer advice regarding the purchase of an instrument.
Playing the recorder is a perfect preparation for learning to play another wind instrument like i.e. the flute, the oboe or the clarinet. However nowadays the recorder has also regained its status as a fully fledged solo instrument, since composers like Vivaldi, Telemann and Bach have become very popular again.
I offer recorder lessons for children from the age of seven or eight years onwards, for whom weekly lessons of 30min.are recommendable. Depending on his or her ability to concentrate and on the age of a pupil the lessons can be extended and for adults I would always recommend 60min.lessons per week.
