Teaching

In her private piano studio in Bonn, Jamina Gerl teaches highly gifted young pianists and prepares students for competitions, ABRSM examinations, university entrance auditions and concert performances. Her students have received awards at regional, state and national levels of competition as well as at international piano competitions, and several have continued their musical education with university professors in Germany. In addition, she is regularly invited to serve as a juror at youth competitions and presents her students in public recitals, exchange projects and concerts.

The focus of her teaching lies in the development of an independent musical personality, the integration of technical security and artistic expression, and a healthy, sustainable approach to piano playing. Her teaching is further enriched by training in music physiology, performance coaching and psychologically informed methods.  As part of her studies at the Kurt Singer Institute in Berlin, she explored healthy practice habits, performance-related body awareness and preventive approaches to avoiding playing-related injuries. These experiences continue to inform her work with young musicians today. She places particular emphasis on individual guidance that takes into account each student’s strengths, goals and potential for development.
