Introduction: My name is Simon, I am a concert pianist currently living in Germany! I graduated from Yale School of Music and proud to to have more than 20 awards in international piano competitions. If you want to read my artistic bio and read about the awards, please check my website! I started teaching more than 5 years ago. Most of my students were people who had some experience with the piano and knew some theory some wanted to start from scratch. Before starting our journey together I prefer to discuss the goals and expectations with the student. Nothing makes me more happy than to know that the students is willing to practice enough to achieve a result. But if your time is limited and playing the piano or learning music theory is one of your many hobbies - that's fine too! Although I am trained as a classical pianist, of course we can do any kind of music you like. I will make sure we are on the same page. If you are interested in watching me play, please refer to my Youtube channel!

Simon is FANTASTIC!! I am a long-time student of music and am extremely particular. Simon has exceeded every expectation! First, he is a great guy and a lot of fun to work with. Second, he pays absolutely keen attention during every part of each lesson and is completely involved throughout. Third, he is extremely patient, although perfectly capable of insisting on certain standards. Fourth, I feel that he "gets" what I am trying to accomplish on the piano, and is giving is ALL to help get me there! ABSOLUTELY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION WITH NO RESERVATION WHATSOEVER! You'll be lucky to study with him!

I have been taking Jazz piano lessons with Simon for the past two months. His knowledge of piano technique and music theory seems infinite. Simon has been very patient and persistent during our lessons. He takes time to explain his lessons in a way that can be understood by a beginner, while also challenging me each week to ensure that I am improving. He has shared resources to assist with my practice outside of our lessons. When I reach out with questions that come up in between sessions, he is responsive and helpful. He has also helped me with ear and voice training. Simon is a really cool guy and I would recommend him to any beginner, intermediate, or advanced level piano player.

Simon is the most creative and exciting teacher I’ve worked with. He pushes me, but is always encouraging, and looks for new ways to explain the hard stuff. We have worked together for a couple years now and I can’t recommend him more highly!
