Welcome
I’m glad you’re here!
Maybe you already know me from my YouTube channel, perhaps you’re already a member of my Piano Community – or maybe you’re simply here because you enjoy my piano music and would like to discover more.
This website is for all of you.
A large part of the website is therefore freely accessible. You can discover my music, watch my sheet music videos and explore many years of my musical work.
If you play the piano yourself and would like to work more intensively with my music, you can become a member of my Piano Community. As a member, you’ll get access to the corresponding sheet music and – depending on the piece – additional files and learning materials.
From YouTube to My Piano Community
For many years, my YouTube channel has been at the heart of my musical work. It’s where I usually publish my new pieces, arrangements and tutorials first, mostly in the form of sheet music videos.
Over the years, I’ve been especially happy to hear from so many viewers who told me that my videos not only helped them learn new pieces, but in some cases even helped them learn how to read music.
That’s exactly the idea I wanted to continue on this website:
You hear the music, see the sheet music at the same time, and then you can start playing and learning it yourself.
How to Find Your Way Around the Website
The homepage is intentionally designed like a video catalogue. New posts and pieces appear in chronological order, making it easy to see what has recently been added.
If a particular piece interests you, simply open the full post. There you’ll find more information, the complete sheet music video and – whenever available for that title – the corresponding learning and download materials.
You can also use the menu to explore the different areas of my music.
Two sections are particularly important:
Easy Piano
Here you’ll find pieces and arrangements using my simplified notation. I’m continuously expanding this section with new material.
My Piano Music
This section is especially close to my heart. It contains my own compositions and arrangements from many years of making music – including some hidden gems that you may not know yet and that are well worth discovering.
What About My Covers?
You’ll find my arrangements of well-known pop, rock and film music in the My Best Covers section.
Because this music is protected by copyright, I’m unable to offer the corresponding sheet music directly through my Piano Community. The sheet music for my cover arrangements is therefore available through Musicnotes. You’ll find the relevant information or link with each piece.
So the distinction is very simple:
My own music → Piano Community
Covers of well-known songs → Musicnotes
What Files Can You Find Here?
For many of my pieces, there’s much more than just a video. Depending on the title, various files may be available to help you learn, practise or work with the music:
PDF – the complete piano sheet music for reading, practising and printing.
MIDI – particularly useful for learning software such as Synthesia, MIDI players or for working with music production software.
MP3 – listen to my recording independently of the video.
ZIP – used for larger download packages such as complete songbooks or collections.
Logic Sessions – for musicians who want to go even deeper and work with my original projects in Logic.
MIDI files in particular are sometimes underestimated today. But they can be extremely useful when learning the piano: you can change the tempo, repeat individual passages or explore a piece in greater detail with programs such as Synthesia.
Technology Should Never Get in the Way
Opening PDFs, printing sheet music, using MIDI files, unpacking ZIP files or working with Synthesia – what seems completely natural to one person may be entirely new to someone else.
That’s why I’ll gradually be adding short guides and tutorials covering these topics.
Because technology should never be the main focus here.
In the end, it’s about something much more important: discovering music, playing the piano and enjoying the process of learning.
Have fun exploring my Piano Community – and most of all, enjoy playing the piano!
