“Music is the speech of Angels”
Thomas Carlyle
Playing the piano and passing on this art to others is my passion. My starting point is where music and personal experience meet or overlap. This element that cannot be put into words, that gives an artist charisma and that touches people in a wonderful way beyond pure pianistic skill.
“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.”
Victor Hugo
Becoming aware of yourself through the piano
Playing the piano is complex and requires a willingness to put in patience and perseverance. The slow growth of a skill is what also brings us inner satisfaction and fulfillment in the long run.
My own approach to the piano has changed a lot over the years through my involvement with many related fields. The experience brings a concentration on the essential, the simple and the immediate.
I am always fascinated to observe how my students conquer the music bit by bit and learn to develop themselves in it. It is like a small miracle to observe how different and unique the approach to the piano can be.
Every little progress is a personal success. Every frustration overcome is a joy. Piano practice becomes a kind of meditation, through which one dives from the reality of everyday life into an inner world and comes back from it strengthened.
Lessons for children and adults from 3 to 99 years old
Piano lessons
My piano lessons are divided into two sections.
I give online lessons to adults who are also willing to take lessons on an irregular basis and who have an interest for personal development through piano playing.
I also work freelance at the Munich Music School "Klavierstunde München" with children and adults. My lessons are also suitable as preparation for competitions or entrance exams.

Enclave de Dos
Piano duo with pianist Maria Jesús Durán
In June 2003 I founded the duo "Enclave de Dos" with the Spanish pianist Maria Jesús Durán, in order to give form to our long-standing musical collaboration. Since then we rehearse and play regularly.
Our repertoire ranges from classical four-hand piano literature, such as Mozart, Schubert, Debussy or Fauré, to somewhat more modern composers such as Ravel and Hindemith.
However, a matter of our hearts is contemporary Spanish music. We have made it our goal to promote Spanish authors and can already list six works in our repertoire that were composed specially for the duo.
