About the lesson

**What levels and styles do you teach?**

Over the years, I’ve worked with students of all levels, from complete beginners to advanced players and professional musicians. Lessons are tailored to each student's pace, goals and musical taste, while always following a clear, step-by-step approach.

Whether you're interested in Bach, The Beatles, jazz, contemporary music, or writing your own music, lessons can be shaped around what you want to learn - from learning the piano from scratch to developing improvisation, harmony and chord progressions, or connecting your playing with composition and production.

**Do I need to be able to read sheet music?**

No. Many students I work with are interested in playing by ear and understanding music without relying heavily on notation, and lessons are often built around developing these skills.

Lessons integrate ear training, improvisation and music theory in a way that is directly connected to the music you want to play or create. For students interested in a more traditional foundation, I also teach sight-reading and standard notation, adapted to each student's pace.

**What subjects do you offer lessons in?**

• Piano and keyboard (beginner to advanced)
• Harmony and music theory
• Chords, chord symbols and lead sheets
• Improvisation and playing by ear
• Jazz harmony and two-hand voicings
• Ear training and listening skills
• Composition and songwriting
• Music production (Logic Pro, Sibelius, synthesizers)
• Audition preparation (including film music programmes)

**Which ages do you teach?**

Children and adults, from complete beginners to advanced players and professional musicians.

**What teaching experience do you have?**

I have extensive experience teaching piano, composition and music theory to children and adults, and completed a year-long methodological teaching course as part of my Bachelor's degree at the Conservatory of Amsterdam.

**What are the lessons like?**

Lessons are relaxed but focused, and adapted to each student's goals and musical interests.

Online lessons are available via Zoom or Google Meet.

I’m happy to arrange a short introductory call to discuss your goals before starting lessons.

Perfect! I had been learning piano on my own for several years before taking lessons with Eren, but I often felt that my knowledge was quite fragmented and I didn't really know what direction to take. Eren helped me bring everything together, especially when it came to scales, harmony, rhythm and improvisation.

I initially came to him with an interest in jazz, but his broad knowledge of different musical styles also gave me the chance to explore other directions. Over time, I found myself particularly drawn to neoclassical music, and Eren was very flexible in adapting the lessons to what I wanted to learn. I especially enjoyed learning how to start with a simple musical idea and gradually develop it into an improvisation.

Eren is a very knowledgeable and versatile teacher, and I really appreciated how he tailored the lessons to my interests rather than following a fixed approach. I've learned a lot from my lessons with him and would definitely recommend him.

Perfect! Eren is a music teacher with great love of jazz and composing. He is patient, calm, organised, always on time and works well with children. He encourages my 9-year-old son to practice piano daily, to play more slowly, with feeling, and explains to him the theory of to the music they’re playing. As a result, my son is looking forward to the lessons, is more eager to practice and more confident in learning new music. I highly recommend Eren as a music teacher.

Perfect! Eren is a fantastic teacher. He really took the time to listen to my needs, and he has adapted our lessons to focus on exactly what I wanted to learn. His approach is very logical, helping me to build the foundations of jazz and pop styles before moving on to learn songs - both from lead sheets and by ear. He has already demonstrated several clever improvisational techniques and ways to make even simple chords sound more interesting and enjoyable to play. He has great patience with me as a student and is both friendly and professional. I have really enjoyed our lessons and am already growing in confidence about what will be possible in the future. I highly recommend Eren to anyone who is considering piano!

Eren's response
Nuno and Tracy contacted me a couple of weeks ago as beginners in piano. They very quickly learned the basics of posture and hand placement in addition to starting to play ‘Let it Be’ by Beatles after a couple of lessons together. They are both very curious, focussed and and open to new material. Their eagerness and positive attitude also create a fun atmoshere during the sessions. I’m very happy with their fast progress so far and I’m expecting them to play new and more challenging music in the coming term.

Perfect! Eren is an encouraging, patient and extremely knowledgeable teacher. He breaks things down into simple terms on the piano and gives you the confidence that you can achieve the next level. He gives me tasks each week to go home and practice, with each task developing my musical and pianistic skills.

I've known Eren through superprof and have been taking class from him ever since. Although I started with just expecting to learn some basic piano, his versatile style and passion for music has had a great impact on me and prompted me to look into a whole new world of possibilities. Highly recommended for people wanting to take a step further on their music or just being interested and wanting to know more.

Eren is a great composer and a very knowledgeable and patient teacher. He always gears his lessons towards the individual goals of the students and explains his vast knowledge in very straight-forward and understandable terms. He is equally at home in jazz and pop music, analysing classical scores and film composing/production. I can highly recommend his lessons.

I have had several music teachers in my time but Eren definitely stands out - not only is his demeanour friendly and approach to piano teaching exemplary, he is able to tailor the sessions exactly to what you need whether it be passing a music exam, learning how to compose, or simply learning how to play from the beginning. I sought Eren specifically to learn jazz piano and within a month or two, I had not only grasped the basics but because of his enthusiasm and dedication, I learnt so many things about music that inspired me and that keep me inspired me to this day. In addition to this, as somebody who aspires to compose music one day, it was incredibly useful to have a teacher such as Eren (who actively composes music himself) because I knew if I ever had any issues with my own work, I could turn to him for advice.

It's a pleasure to recommend Eren as a piano teacher. As someone who had studied classical music, and self-taught blues/boogie-woogie, I wanted to branch out and learn jazz piano. It was really hard to start, but gradually, and through well-chosen exercises he got me to start to understand how jazz works. I still have a very long way to go, and I've now moved house away from him, but I will be eternally grateful for Eren's grounding in this complex topic. Thank you Eren! By the way, he doesn't just teach jazz. He seems to possess a deep knowledge of many musical styles, which I think really helps give a broad context when learning one style in particular.

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?
From the age of 8 onward, I became deeply captivated by the movie soundtracks. During this period, I initiated my journey into music by learning to play the keyboard at school, eventually progressing to classical piano lessons at the age of 9.
Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
I firmly believe exceptional music transcends genres, beckoning us to indulge in its rhythmic embrace repeatedly. While there are numerous artists I admire, currently, the band Beach House is the one I find myself listening to on repeat.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
The utilization of scales in Jazz Improvisation stands out as one of the most demanding skills to master. Grasping the specific scale for each chord (often more than one) and seamlessly transitioning from one to another on each bar of a Jazz Standard demands a substantial investment of patience and effort, encompassing both theoretical understanding and practical application.
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
While instruments like the violin and others from the string family may seem comparatively straightforward, achieving perfect intonation and tone demands years of dedicated practice, setting them apart from instruments like the piano or keyboard.
What are your keys to success?
Though encapsulating success in music is complex, if I were to distill it down, I would emphasize curiosity, patience, persistence, and a deep-seated love for music as the quintessential factors.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Ennio Morricone, members of Radiohead, and Johann Sebastian Bach - three musicians spanning different eras in music history, yet interconnected through harmonies and emotional depth in their work. As a composer, I am enthralled by their profound impact on reshaping the musical landscape.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
Years ago, during my jazz piano studies at the conservatory, I had the privilege of attending a masterclass led by the renowned jazz pianist Brad Mehldau. The focus of his feedback was a young jazz piano student, no older than 12 at the time. Despite possessing a discernibly tasteful musicality, the student lacked the technical prowess typically associated with more seasoned pianists.
What struck me most was Brad Mehldau's emphasis on encouraging the young pianist to persist in cultivating his distinctive taste and originality. This anecdote has lingered in my memory, serving as a perpetual reminder of the paramount importance of musical integrity and originality, transcending the conventional emphasis on technical skills.
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
Commencing with an understanding of the student's current level and aspirations lays a strong foundation. Beyond possessing a profound knowledge of music, a superb teacher is empathetic, listens attentively, provides unwavering support, and fosters a positive environment for continual improvement.
