My lessons
" Indeed, my daily engagement with music as art created in and through time is full of these unexpected surprises, elusive beauties and baffling instants.
It is above all this fascination that I would like to communicate through my classes.
"
I am a passionate teacher and want to share my enthusiasm for music. Teaching is all about inspiring and showing how enriching and fulfilling the study of music can be. I am always on the lookout for these small, fleeting but very special moments of wonder and amazement. It is important for me to understand my students individually, to discover their potential and to support them in developing their abilities in the best possible way. I am also constantly learning through my students. This, of course, makes working with each individual student both demanding and rewarding.
I wish to offer lively and practice-oriented lessons. I try to convey a natural approach to the piano and the joy of making music. Ultimately, my aim is to nurture an interest in an independent and in-depth involvement with music. In addition, the technical piano work, music theory, the training of auralskills and what I would call a comprehensive musical education are of course also central elements of my classes. Piano lessons should first and foremost be lessons in music.
Further areas covered in my classes:
-

Testimonials
I have found Kilian to be a very dedicated, talented and extremely empathetic teacher.
When I came to Kilian as an absolute beginner, I had no experience in playing the piano or reading music.
He patiently taught me the basics in detail.
Building on this, he took a lot of time to show exercises, go through them with me and discuss them from lesson to lesson.
In addition, he was always friendly, patient and always on time. Communication was hassle-free and honest.
Kilian was happy to respond to requests and comments and practised pieces with me that we were both in the mood for.
Kilian himself is extremely eager and a fantastic pianist, so lessons with him are ideal for both beginners and experienced players.
Overall, I can recommend lessons with Kilian without reservation and think he is the best teacher I could have asked for.

Kilian took about 8 months of his time to help me put together a little Christmas concert, after not having touched a piano seriously for at least 10 years! And we did it!
During our time together, I could count on Kilian 100 percent as a teacher.
With a lot of consideration and understanding for my abilities, he chose exactly the right pieces, to put together a coherent programme without over- or under-challenging me.
The lessons with him have definitely brought me back the joy of playing the piano and I am proud of the progress I made thanks to him. In addition, Kilian is just a super friendly and funny person - we had a good rapport.
