My name is Cristian Lang, Bonn's Transsilvanian piano teacher with German-Romanian-Mexican multicultural heritage. 

I received my first master´s degree in piano teaching in 2005 from the University of Music in Trossingen (smallest German mainstream music university), Southern Germany, followed in 2014 by my second master´s in general music education from the Cologne University of Music (largest Germany music university), which led me to acquire advanced levels of performance, including classical and contemporary styles.

Besides of German I also teach students in English, Spanish, French and Romanian, which is appropiate for Bonn being an international city, also during home visits: I come to your house.

When teaching piano I enjoy working with (small) children, teens, adolescents and adults of all ages, at all performance levels. I particularly use integrative-intuitive teaching methods, which lead to the dissolution of the dichotomies of theory (note reading etc.) and practice (performance and improvisation). This approach supports the education of concentration/mindfulness, discipline, self esteem and relaxed wakefulness while acting musically, yet it gives birth to the experience of musical joy rather than superficial fun. If during one´s development a professional career is desired I can support you also in building your abilities in music theory, music history, ear training etc., which I intuitively teach already to youngest children and adult beginners. 

I consider myself between categories: a bridge-builder between the classical, the academic-avant-garde and the popular world of piano music. I am fascinated by many musical styles and I see in rock/pop/jazz/latin, the classical legacy and in Morton Feldman, Gyorgy Ligeti and possibly also the Karlheinz of Kerpen great potential for modern piano teaching. As an educator, my goal is to find a way to combine all styles and prepare them for teaching in a creative way. Hi-end teaching in the traditional academic styles ("classic") is of course easy to do.

For those who only like Johann Sebastian Bach, I will gladly introduce Keith Jarrett, those who only enjoy modern soul beats will also love Arnold Schoenberg or Younghi Pagh-Paan, those who think Chopin is very emotional will soon also enjoy the emotional depth of Country roads/Ring of fire, Working class britpop, or Taylor Swift.

Most cordially yours,

CL
