The face-to-face classes take place at the Palast der Künste in Pankow-Süd and are mainly designed for adults and teenagers who want to learn music. Each session lasts 50 minutes.
In the lessons we work on breathing and vocal technique through warm-up exercises, always with the goal of developing a healthy and natural use of the voice. The classes are mainly focused on the student’s preferred repertoire, which may include pop, soul, jazz, blues, bossa nova, tango, bolero, among others. Each style is approached with specific tools to achieve an authentic and expressive performance.
For both warm-up and repertoire I usually accompany the student on the piano, and depending on the style, I may also use karaoke tracks. I also teach how to use the microphone effectively, how to overcome stage fright, and how to enjoy performing on stage. The lessons are open to all levels – from beginners to advanced – and also to those preparing entrance exams for higher studies in modern music.
My main objective is that each student feels motivated, confident, and free from pressure, while enjoying both music and the learning process.

The piano lessons take place at the Palast der Künste in Pankow-Süd and are primarily aimed at beginners. My goal is to prepare each student with a solid foundation so they can later continue developing with a teacher specialized in piano.
We begin with basic exercises to build good hand technique and with simple songs to learn how to read music. For those who already have some reading skills, we move on to scales and chords, focusing on songs that explore modern harmony.
The most important thing for me is that every student feels motivated and free from pressure, and that they truly enjoy both the music and the learning process.

Just like the face-to-face lessons, the online classes last 50 minutes. They are aimed at adults and teenagers who want to learn music and who, for any reason, find virtual lessons more convenient.
The lessons are held via Zoom or Jitsi and follow a dynamic similar to the in-person classes. The main difference is that a little more time is dedicated to repertoire than to technique.
It is very important to me that each student enjoys the lessons, stays motivated, and continues learning without pressure.
