Private Piano Lessons in Berlin – at your Home or Online
Hi, I'm Max
I'm a Berlin-based pianist, bassist, and music producer.
I offer piano, bass, and music production lessons with a focus on creativity, curiosity, and helping you find your own voice. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced musician, I tailor my lessons to your individual goals and tastes.
We might learn a song you love, explore chords and harmony, improvise, refine your technique, write an original piece, or turn an idea into a finished track in Ableton or Logic.

About me
I studied Popular Music Performance at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance in London and am a certified Arts Award Adviser. I’ve been working as a musician, producer and music teacher for over 11 years, first in London and now in Berlin. I’m currently a Music Production Lecturer at Macromedia University, a piano teacher at Simplay Musikschule, and run workshops and music projects with cultural organisations in Berlin, including Fotografiska.
Working with children and young adults from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds has enabled me to adapt my teaching style to different learning needs and create inclusive and motivating environments.
Alongside teaching, I work professionally as a bassist, keyboardist, producer and Musical Director, collaborating with artists such as Sans Soucis and Davide Shorty. My own music has been released on labels including Roya/Warp and Squareglass, with support from BBC Radio 1 and Worldwide FM. I also work from my own studio in Berlin, supported through Kulturräume Berlin.
Testimonials
“Max has been teaching my daughter Ava for four years, and she has made incredible progress. She started with no experience and can now play by ear and from music, use chords and harmonies, and compose her own songs.
Max is kind, patient and encouraging, and makes every lesson fun and creative. He allows Ava to choose the music she enjoys while helping her develop a real understanding of music and confidence in her own creativity. I cannot recommend him highly enough!”

"Lessons with Max are engaging and enjoyable, I've now been taking online lessons with him for five years!"
"I was unsure about online lessons at first, but the experience has been super smooth. Max is patient, encouraging, and catches the tiniest details even through a screen. Over the last five years, my playing has improved so much and I now have a growing repertoire to choose from for relaxation and pleasure."
Angela H.
"Our teenager enjoys his lessons far more now and actually wants to continue piano!"
"After moving to London, our son didn’t want to continue piano. We were lucky to find Max. He introduced jazz and movie songs into Adrien's music directory while still working on technique and theory. We strongly recommend Max’s patience and ability to accommodate his students' expectations."
