Student insights

“Caroline’s lessons significantly enhanced both the musical and technical aspects of my piano playing. Her guidance consistently bridged these two areas, allowing me to approach music with greater authenticity.

One key lesson was the importance of actively listening to the balance and details of the sound I was producing. Initially, I struggled to differentiate between what I wanted to express and what was actually coming through. Caroline’s feedback helped me recognize what was happening in my performance, and from there, I learned to listen more critically to my own playing.

What particularly fascinated me was her approach to “reading aloud” music. On occasion, she would share specific German lyrics for phrases in the pieces I played. These words helped me understand how to shape the phrases, as well as the emotions within them. As a Japanese learner, this method was entirely new to me, especially since it is not something commonly addressed in lessons with Japanese instructors. I came to realize that engaging with a piece in the composer’s native language deepens one’s connection to the music.

Another crucial aspect was understanding the specific body movements required for precise execution. Whenever Caroline highlighted areas needing improvement, whether in articulation, phrasing, or balance, she would always provide clear, practical advice on how to adjust my physical movements. At times, the focus was on finger movement alone, while at others, it involved coordinating multiple parts of my body. Her insights were consistently spot-on. While it often took one or two weeks of practice to fully absorb her feedback, the result was a fundamental shift in both my physical technique and emotional engagement with the music. The process was truly eye-opening.

Overall, Caroline’s lessons were rich with insight, greatly improving my performance and deepening my musical understanding. I am incredibly grateful for everything she taught me. Thank you so much, Caroline!”

“I’ve received very professional piano lessons and have learned so much in a short time. I feel completely supported and couldn’t imagine better piano instruction.”
Paul Berger (2024)

“What I especially value is that, as a hobby pianist, she gives me the freedom to choose my own pieces. Together we have worked on many wonderful works, from Beethoven’s sonatas to Chopin’s preludes. Caroline’s way of playing Beethoven is particularly inspiring. Her lessons are very detailed and structured. She gives precise feedback on voicing, phrasing, and technique – from subtle finger movements to the correct wrist position. She is consistent and challenges me, which I truly appreciate. I never thought remote lessons could be so effective. In every class I learn an enormous amount and notice clear progress. Caroline is a fantastic teacher whom I can recommend to everyone!”

“I really enjoyed the lessons with Caroline. I truly learned a lot. Especially helpful was the detailed work on expression, sound, and musical nuances, and I received many great tips to improve my technique.”

“The lessons with Mrs. Fischer have enabled me to rediscover the piano, even after many years of playing experience, as an instrument with countless facets. Her teaching has allowed me to play with greater variety and, above all, with a more relaxed hand position. This has given me both a new sense of freedom in my playing and a deeper connection to the instrument. Thanks to her creative interpretations and her attention to detail, I have been able to expand my musical expression in new and inspiring ways. Thank you!”

“During her time in Bangkok, Caroline taught me weekly from around 2014 to 2018. I learned a great deal from her, both technically and musically. Her lessons were always highly dedicated and focused. She is a fabulous teacher for an instrument that she masters so artistically.”

“I have known and appreciated Caroline for more than a decade – she is not only a gifted concert pianist but above all a compassionate teacher. She introduced me to the great works of piano literature (especially Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff) and taught the necessary playing techniques in a fulfilling, convincing, and kind manner. I am deeply grateful for that. I wholeheartedly recommend her to piano students of all ages.”
