Beginner's problems in private piano lessons
Learning piano as an adult can be difficult. Traditional private lessons are often expensive, have strict deadlines, and set high expectations. This can be discouraging. It is also important to have fun with music, otherwise it quickly becomes boring.
I understand this frustration...
When I became a piano teacher, I also gave traditional private lessons for beginners. But many of my students stopped taking lessons because they found this method too difficult and boring. I wanted to find a solution!
So I came up with something new!
Based on the feedback from my students, I created the “Open Piano Group”, a unique method that makes learning the piano easy and fun for everyone, regardless of their busy lives.
The best part is that it makes learning the piano easier for those who found the traditional method too difficult. It is a solution for people who would have stopped learning piano if they had followed the traditional method.
So, if you are interested and ready to start playing the piano, read here how you can start with the OPEN PIANO GROUP…
What do you get as a member of the
OPEN PIANO GROUP?
Here’s what to expect from your group piano lessons:
1. One hour of piano lessons per week
That is the best amount of time to learn to play the piano without rushing. This way, if something is not clear, there is time to better explain what you are going to learn.
2. Musical scores are included
You don't need to buy any other books. I provide everything you need without you having to spend extra money.
3. Booklet "First steps - The basics"
This booklet explains all the basics of music theory. It allows you to repeat what you learned in class.
4. Special discounts
As a student, you get discounts on courses that allow you to dive even deeper into the music. This will give you a greater understanding of what you are playing, which will also make you more confident in playing the piano.

- Play on different pianos and keyboards that are permanently set up in our studio. I want you to feel comfortable playing anywhere, so I offer you the opportunity to practice on various instruments.

Who I am

Take Lessons 1 to 3 times per week
Piano teachers usually offer lessons once a week or every other week, which means you have to practice a lot on your own. But it’s hard to know if you’re practicing the right way at home. That’s why we offer the option to come in for lessons multiple times a week. This way, you can practice less at home, feel more confident about your progress, and avoid the fear of not knowing what to practice
We have singing classes from Monday to Thursday. We offer different packages where you choose how many times a week you want to come to class, 1-3 times a week. Packages are between €139 and €350 per month, depending on how many times a week you come. The more often you come per week, the less you pay per lesson.
