First lesson for free!
Me as a teacher:
I started teaching piano in 2010, when I was still going to school. I have a music-teaching experience of roundabout 11 years now with a 2 years break. Throughout my university life I was continuing teaching piano lessons until I started working as a full time experimental physicist.
Studying mostly plasma-physics and lasers.
Thats right my major is experimental solid state physics and not music, actually, but thats also fun. For me the pursuit of understanding the world is a very creative experience.
And by the way music has a very mathematical foundation if you think about it. At first you start counting to four to keep your rhythm. You look at distances on the sheet music and use them to find sounds on your instrument! In the process it's all about chords and their behaviour towards melody and harmony, which can follow some rules to sound right to our ears. We dont have to get into the physics and maths behind music if you are not into that though.
I did the math. You don't have to.
During my time as a scientist/engineer I was still doing music, playing little concerts in Hamburg, Karlsruhe and Aachen... but not enough!
At some point I decided to switch my career to be a fulltime artist, and here we are!
Overall it is super much fun to teach what I learned about music over the years! For me the best I can do as a teacher is help my students to reach their own goals! So please feel free to always suggest songs you want to learn. Even if they are not intended for your instrument.
We have got all the keys we need!
I am a multi-instrumentalist, but my go-to-instrument is the piano! It is also the first instrument I learned. Anyways, I think it is always good to have knowledge on the most played instruments, as these are the instruments played by your future bandmembers and the people you will have jamsessions with!
