////////////////////////////////
My name is Manuel. I am a professional Piano Teacher with 14 years of teaching experience with students of all ages and levels. 

As an instructor, I have worked with many students of all levels, including total beginners and renowned artists such as Andre 3000 and Tame Impala bassist Cameron Avery. I have taught at New York University and the University Of The Arts in Berlin, Germany, and I regularly give masterclasses and workshops at music colleges and universities abroad. 

As a Pianist, I have organized concert tours in Europe and the U.S. and I have lead groups at renowned jazz clubs such as the Blue Note NYC and others. 

Please check out my YouTube channel for more of my artistic activities and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Teaching Style

My teaching approach is highly personalized, as each of my students has unique strengths and goals. I avoid a one-size-fits-all method, instead crafting a tailored lesson plan and practice routine to suit their individual needs. While I emphasize the importance of ear training, I also believe in building a strong foundation in the fundamentals of music. My ultimate goal is to empower students to eventually teach themselves and explore music independently, without relying on a teacher.

Curriculum

My students have very different strengths and goals, so I try to avoid any template lesson structure or method. I usually work out a plan and a practice routine with everyone individually as needed.
