Talent Stories

Alongside Liedhoch and the Uetersen Boys’ Choir, as well as bass-baritone Sönke Tams Freier and soprano Caroline Bruker, my students Hanna and Lasse accompanied the male choir, whilst I performed the solos. It was a very intense time – numerous concerts, various stops including San Antonio (Texas), New Orleans (Louisiana) and Houston (Texas). An outstanding choir and an outstanding team of pianists, as the audience acknowledged with standing ovations at almost every concert. We take away with us lasting impressions and valuable musical experience. THANK YOU for this incredible opportunity and wonderful collaboration.

Outstanding results "Jugend Musiziert" Competition round 1 and 2

Unbelievable! Jonas (12 years old, AG III) did it. After particularly strict rules were introduced in 2026 for qualifying for the national finals—only participants with 25 out of 25 points qualify—even former national prize winners were not selected. Jonas was one of only two (!) in a highly competitive and talented age group to advance to the national finals in Munich. At the national competition in Munich, Jonas won 3rd prize despite extremely strong competition and strict judging! Congratulations!!!!!

“I think it's great that Simone gives us tasks in the workshops where we work together as a team on a new piece. That way, we can support each other and discover for ourselves what's behind the piece.”

"My son Jonas has been at this music school for almost five years. The competitions and concerts have made him much more confident. I particularly like the fact that he has made lots of friends here and enjoys spending time at the music school, rehearsing, eating pizza, or playing chess. Jonas also thinks it's great that he can learn so much from the older students, not only about playing the piano, but also about school stuff."
