Lessons.

Your journey to playing the piano starts here. Individual lessons in classical, jazz and pop — creative, personal, and driven by the joy of making music. Whether you're a beginner, returning to the piano, or an advanced player, we'll work together to develop your playing and help you find your own musical voice.

Playing the piano should above all bring one thing: joy.

Music has played a huge part in my life for as long as I can remember, and it is this passion that I want to share with my students. For me, it's important that you don't simply reproduce pieces, but develop your own musical expression. Whether you love classical music, are drawn to jazz, or want to play pop and rock songs, we'll shape the lessons around your interests and goals.

I teach children, teenagers, adults and those who return after years of not playing — regardless of age or previous experience. Maybe you want to learn your first melodies, prepare for an entrance exam, accompany your favourite songs, or return to the piano after a longer break.

It's not just about technique and reading music. I want you to understand music, explore your creativity and enjoy playing. Improvisation, a strong sense of rhythm, ear training and a natural approach to the instrument are therefore just as much a part of my teaching as a solid pianistic foundation.

Lessons are available in person in Linz or online — flexibly, at your own pace and tailored to your individual goals.

I began teaching in 2019 at the Landesmusikschulwerk Oberösterreich. Since 2025, I have been teaching piano at Stadtmusikschule Linz. Over the years, I have learned how differently each person approaches music and learning. That's why I don't follow a rigid curriculum, but create individual learning paths that motivate, challenge and foster lasting joy in making music.

My own musical education continues to shape my teaching. From 2020 to 2024, I studied classical piano at the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität in Linz with Prof. Till Alexander Körber and Sven Birch. Since 2023, I have been studying jazz and popular singing with Anna Anderluh, and since 2024, I have been expanding my artistic perspective through a bachelor's degree in percussion with Stephan Maass.

It is this combination of different musical worlds that makes my teaching unique. The precision of classical piano training meets the freedom of jazz, the energy of pop music and the strong rhythmic awareness I have developed through percussion. The result is versatile, well-rounded teaching in which technique, creativity and musical expression go hand in hand.

I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you on your musical journey — whether you're playing your first notes or already have many years of experience at the piano.

How it works

01

Meeting & trial lesson

Get in touch via the registration form. Then we arrange a 30-minute trial lesson: we get to know each other, talk about your wishes and goals and you get a first impression of my teaching. A trial lesson costs €25 and comes with no obligation.

02

Your personal lesson plan

If we both feel the collaboration fits, we develop an individual lesson plan together. Your goals, interests and learning pace are at the centre. For children I design the lessons in an especially playful and creative way.

03

Keep going & grow together

Musical development needs time, joy and regularity. With continuous lessons, motivation and a good portion of curiosity you become step by step more confident at the piano and develop your very own musical expression.

FAQ

What do piano lessons in Linz cost with me?

The trial lesson (30 minutes) costs EUR 25.00. After that you can decide whether you come for 30, 40 or 50 minutes. Depending on what you choose you can then decide whether you take the single price or a block of five or ten.

Do I need my own piano?

Yes! To really unfold the joy of playing you should definitely have a piano available. To begin with, an electronic piano with 88 keys and one pedal is enough. I am happy to advise you on buying or renting your instrument!

Do I have to buy a real piano right away?

No, a good digital piano with weighted keys is enough to start.

What is the difference between a keyboard and a digital piano?

Keyboards mostly have unweighted keys; digital pianos imitate the feel of a real piano better than keyboards.

How often does an acoustic piano need tuning?

As a rule at least once a year. Every six months is best. It depends entirely on the type of piano.

What ages is the teaching suitable for?

All pianists are warmly welcome with me. Children from primary school age, teenagers and adults — returners in particular are in exactly the right place!

Can I still start as an adult?

Yes, absolutely! As an adult you usually already know what kind of music you want to learn. That brings you closer to your musical goal quickly.

Where do lessons take place?

In Linz or online via video. Both at the same rates, also alternating. For children in particular and for the first lessons at the piano, however, I recommend in-person teaching!

How do online lessons work?

You only need your instrument, a phone or a laptop and a stable connection. Camera to the side of the instrument, we set up the rest together in the first online lesson!

Do I need to be able to read music?

No. Depending on your goal and your own strengths we work with sheet music, chords or by ear — whatever suits you and your playing best.

Can I reschedule a lesson?

Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours in advance. After that the lesson expires or has to be paid for — exceptional cases and illness we sort out personally and without fuss!

Are there lessons during the school holidays?

At music schools lessons usually do not take place during the holidays. I offer flexible lesson times during the holidays as well.
