There are many people who would like so much simply to sit down at the piano and begin to play, freely, without sheet notes: but they don´t know how to do it. Even those who already play their instrument at a really fair level with written music feel embarrassed when they are asked to play something!
Beginning or intensifying piano / keyboard practice may lead to drastic positive change in a person´s life style. A fifteen minutes daily practice time can be enough to clear our mind and to keep fingers and brain moving. But often we need external stimuli to enhance our motivation and to give us the power to continue playing and to cultivate our joy that will evolve when practicing regularly our instrument.

All concepts will be shown at the instrument, acting on the maxim that there shouldn´t be any theory without practice.

Peter Janzen is Doctor in Physics (Univ. of Cologne, Germany) and Music-Pedagogue (Univ. of Siegen Germany).
After years working as university scientist he changed his area of activities and became Physics- and Music-Teacher in Germany and in Spain. He lived eight years in Mexico as principal of a big International School. Later he went to Cairo, Egypt as School Coordinator for the German Schools in Middle East.
The imparting of his knowledge has always been one of his main aims - in physics as well as in music.
The musical philosophy of Dr. Janzen, packed in three sentences, is: "Music forms the essence of life, for everybody – that´s a culture independent reality. But this musical essence of life will emerge and come to real bloom only, when you practice improvisation: Singing, dancing, playing improvised music will really free your mind and will unfold your musicality."
Today many persons in different parts of the world remember how they learned from him, practicing North American Minimal Music, German Folksongs, Indian Ragas, Top Twenty Pop Songs, and many other music styles. They began with him, without having had a previous musical education. Some of them are now successful musicians. Many of them practice music privately.
Now Dr. Janzen is Senior Consultant in Culture and Education and has begun to produce didactical videos about his areas of expertise.
