Something New Is Coming
🎹 New: The Improstation Method — launching October 26, 2026
I'm building a completely new learning path: the Improstation Method — a structured, three-level program covering everything from partimento and chorale harmonization to fluent improvisation across Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and Modern styles.
It launches on October 26, 2026. Join the waiting list now and get a one-time special price, available only to early members.

The Improstation Method
The Core
Your musical operating system. Before you can improvise freely, you need to understand harmony from the inside out — how chords connect, how melodies are built, how patterns work. The Core gives you exactly that: every essential model and pattern, explained and practiced through harmonization exercises.
This is not improvisation yet — think of it as grammar and vocabulary. You'll learn to harmonize melody and bass patterns with confidence and flexibility. Real improvisation begins in the next levels, where these tools come together in actual musical forms.
The core is the foundation everyone needs, regardless of instrument or style. Includes lessons and exercises on:
- Harmony & Partimento – introduction to figured bass (Generalbass), harmonizing bass lines (partimento) and melodies (chorales and traditional songs)
- Patterns Library – every essential musical pattern, explained and practiced through simple exercises
- Pieces Library – a curated collection of pieces perfect for developing your improvisation skills
Piano / Organ Improvisation I
Here the theory becomes music. Using the same models and patterns from The Core, you'll start improvising your first small musical forms — real, spontaneous playing, not just harmonization exercises. Available for piano or organ.
This is where improvisation actually begins: short, manageable forms that let you apply what you've learned with confidence, across styles from Baroque to Modern.
Piano / Organ Improvisation II
Building on Improvisation I, this level takes you into longer, more ambitious improvisations. You'll work with more complex templates, richer figuration, and greater structural freedom — developing the fluency to improvise expressively in any style, from Baroque counterpoint to Romantic textures to Modern idioms. Available for piano or organ.
What to Expect
Improvising confidently is a bit like learning a new language: at first, your goals are small — a simple phrase, a short sentence spoken fluently. Improvisation works the same way. In your first months, you're not aiming for mastery — you're building small, real skills, one at a time. That's exactly how it should feel.
True fluency — sitting down and improvising something spontaneous, in any style, in any key — is a long-term journey, built through steady, sustained practice over time. By the end of Improvisation II, you'll have built a genuine toolbox— the harmonic understanding, patterns, and forms to improvise across styles and keys. How freely and fluently you can use that toolbox depends on your own practice, routine, and the level of difficulty you choose to pursue. The Method gives you the clear, structured path and the tools — what you build with them is genuinely up to you.
More details about the individual parts of the program will be shared in September 2026.
WANT TO KNOW ABOUT ME
You don’t have to be a genius to improvise
I studied classical piano in Berlin, but over time, the pressure to play perfectly took the joy out of music for me. I was stuck in perfectionism, anxious on stage, and eventually I gave up performing altogether. It wasn’t until I heard an improvised organ concert that something clicked. I realized music could be free, spontaneous, and joyful again. I studied organ improvisation and found a new way to express myself — one that finally felt right.
Today, I help others find that same joy. Many musicians lose their passion because of pressure, fear of mistakes, or rigid training that limits self-expression. Through Improstation, I teach improvisation to beginners and advanced musicians alike — not by making it more complex, but by making it more accessible. I focus on practical tools, clear steps, and playful exploration. You don’t need to be a prodigy to improvise. You just need the right support, a bit of courage, and the freedom to reconnect with the reason you started making music in the first place.

Course Levels
I offer courses for every stage of your musical journey — from complete beginners to advanced improvisers.
Level 0 – Complete Beginner
You have no prior experience with music or any instrument.
You’ve never played piano or organ, and terms like chord, scale, or key are completely new to you.
This level gently introduces you to the world of music — perfect for anyone who wants to discover music for the first time and enjoy the beauty of creating sounds, melodies, and harmonies at the keyboard.
Level 1 – Experienced Player, New to Improvisation
You already play piano or organ, perhaps for several years, and you’re comfortable reading classical music.
You have some basic knowledge of music theory — you know what chords and keys are, and can recognize intervals.
However, you’ve never improvised before.
This level helps you take your first steps in improvisation, learning how to move beyond the written notes and begin expressing yourself freely at the keyboard.
Level 2 – Developing Improviser
You can already improvise simple pieces and understand the foundations of harmony.
You may have completed the Foundations of Improvisation course or have equivalent experience.
You are familiar with basic harmonic patterns and models, and can harmonize simple chorales.
At this level, you’ll strengthen your ability to improvise fluently in the classical style, gaining confidence and musical freedom while expanding your harmonic vocabulary.
Level 3 – Confident Improviser
You can improvise preludes, harmonize chorales, and create short forms with ease.
You understand harmonic and contrapuntal models thoroughly and have experience with variation and figuration techniques.
This level is designed for those who want to master complex improvisational forms such as fugues, explore advanced figuration, and reach a professional level of fluency and expression in classical improvisation.
TESTIMONIALS
Hear from our satisfied learners and community members
Before I found Improstation, I was stuck and frustrated. After working through the first course, I can now sit at the piano and create real music. I feel free and inspired again.
I always thought improvisation wasn’t for ‘serious’ musicians. Now I know better. These courses are clear, deep, and incredibly liberating. Thank you!
I used to dread practicing. Now I actually look forward to it, because every day I discover something new in my own playing.
