I teach a well-founded technique based on the control of key velocity and key depth—the two components responsible for shaping the sound. Within the framework of this technique keys are not “pressed” but “set into motion”. Not using pressure or weight to create the sound facilitates a feeling of technical freedom and a multifaceted sound spectrum.

My teaching approach is highly solution-oriented; therefore, my aim is to provide you with versatile tools you can apply comprehensively.

These include:

• Learning to control velocity of touch and depth of key 
• The shaping of sound
• The function of the upper body
• Musical tension as an interpretation tool
• Ways to understand rhythm
• Finding your own musical interpretation
• Making music “speak”
• Musical rules and guidelines
• Memorization
• How to practice efficiently
