Simone Anders   Talent musicschool   

Simone Anders, a pianist, piano teacher, and composer, lives with her family in Pinneberg and is the mother of two children (ages 15 and 17). At the age of 6, she received her first piano lessons from her stepfather, Jürgen Wagner. She began composing at the age of 8 and was mentored in Hamburg’s “Composition Circle” by Dr. Prof. Peter Heilbut and Dr. Dr. Reinhard Flender. In addition to the piano, she also learned the violin, cello, clarinet, recorder, and church organ. Later, she was taught by the Russian piano teacher Julia Suslin, who became known through the Russian Piano School. As a child and teenager, she won numerous first prizes at various competitions. She studied piano in Hamburg with Prof. Hofer, but then switched to the financial sector; from 1998 to 2007, she worked in fraud prevention for the international corporation Barclaycard. Starting in 2007, as a freelance piano teacher, she established a piano class with talented children, who have won more than 160 prizes to date.
In January 2024, she founded her own music school, Talent, in Pinneberg near Hamburg, offering piano lessons, talent development in piano, voice lessons, talent development in voice, violin lessons, talent development in violin, and cello lessons upon request. The development of young musical talent in piano, violin, cello, and voice is particularly close to her heart.
From 2019 to 2023, she directed the program she initiated and conceived. The competition garnered high acclaim in professional circles, most recently attracting more than 150 participants from northern Germany and offering numerous special prizes and grants for young talent.
Starting in 2027, the continuation of this success story is planned: a competition for the children and young people of our region—discovering and nurturing talent. Providing long-term support for young musicians. Organizer of the competition: Talentissimo e.V.
