I graduated from the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln (Cologne University of Music and Dance) in Germany. I have been teaching piano to children since I was 16 years old. My first student was six years old, and she still enjoys playing the piano today.
During my studies, I also worked as a piano instructor for non-piano major students at the university. If you are an adult interested in learning the piano, it's never too late to start!
