"There are teachers and there are teachers. Some impart knowledge and some impart a whole way of being in creative expression. Jens is the latter. From the moment I saw his personality and vibrant teaching style I knew that my daughter would excel and find her own rhythm as a musician because of Jens contagious enthusiasm for musical expression through the piano. His teaching style is tangible and effective as he provides a way of learning that brings immediate gratification. Which in turn stirs the creativity for working on your own. The fact that he is a working musician in the industry brings a different and relevant energy to any teacher student interaction. As a performer and teacher I hold Jens in high esteem. Who ever learns from him will, with hard work find their own musical, creative voice."
"Hello Jens, thank you for teaching Paige for the last couple of years. She won an award for her music compositions and performances at school so thank you so much!"
“Jens is the best piano teacher my kids could ever have. He is supporting, always encouraging and giving praise, and he is extremely talented. After 4 years my kids still love his classes. 😁”
"Jens is a fantastic teacher.
He brings more to the table than most teachers, as he has had years of performing live on stage (and still does) and can impart this knowledge into his teaching. He has also helped me prepare arrangements for playing live, and this has proven to be invaluable. We are currently working on a set of jazz standards where he is preparing the backing tracks and guiding my playing.
If you work hard and take on board what he says, you will definitely reap the benefits
I have had piano lessons before I started with Jens and I can honestly say: Nobody teaches like Jens. Rock on."

"Hello, I’m Valentino and I am 9 years old. Jens is my favourite teacher. You can communicate with him and will probably have a little laugh. I started having piano lessons around a year ago, and suddenly realised that this is very enjoyable, it’s my best thing I do and I love seeing Jens and you get to play for people and get to feel proud! He’s the best teacher ever and would defo recommend him."
“Jens is the most amazing teacher, in fact one in a million. I recommend him to all of my singing students and they love him. Precise thorough curriculum, delivered in an informal manner. For me he is the only piano and musical production teacher here in Marbella, he really gets results.”

My son is almost 15 years old now. When he was 9, he insisted on becoming a piano player! Me and my wife are really thankful that we accidentally found Jens on the Internet. That was a wild card as I know how many unqualified music teachers there is out there. As a long time amateur musician myself, I can assure anybody, with some level of qualification, that Jens is a really accomplished professional musician. He is theoretically knowledgeable in addition to having a tecnique that allows him to play literally anything from classical to jazz music, regardless of its technical complexity. In addition, he posesses the most important talent of all for a teacher; patience. My son is not the perfect pupil, but during these 5 years Jens has helped him develop into quite an accomplished piano player, his age considered. My son also likes to sing and Jens put us in contact with a very accomplished song pedagogue, so my son can now both play and sing musical pieces by both contemporary and historic popular musicians and has performed at several social events. When I asked my son what he appreciated most about Jens, he said; “…he has a very good sense of humor, he is patient and he teaches me a lot of different stuff.” I think that may be some of the best reputation you would strive for as a teacher. And if you want to know the truth about whether your aspiring offspring is learning anything from his teacher; ask the source!
