A look inside The Yellow Hippo Studios Learn to play piano – your way

Have you always wanted to learn piano? Or do you want to pick it up again after some years? You are warmly welcome with me – whether you are 6 years old, an advanced player, or just starting out.

You don't need to be a natural talent to enjoy music. Everyone can learn to play as long as you are curious and eager to discover what suits you. Classical, pop, jazz, film music, or improvisation? You choose the direction, I help you on your way.

My lessons are personal and flexible – no standard method, but an approach tailored to your level, taste, and pace. Of course, you also learn the basics, such as reading notes and technique, but always in a way that works for you.

The lessons take place in my cozy studio at Stadhouderslaan 9 in The Hague. There are several pianos – and you choose on which one you want to take lessons. Curious? Schedule a free trial lesson and come meet me!
Fred Händl performing at Zappanale, 2024 About Fred Händl

My name is Fred Händl. For more than 20 years I have been happily giving piano lessons to both beginners and advanced players — young and old. In my lessons, everything revolves around your musical taste: together we find out what excites you so you stay motivated and truly enjoy playing.

Besides my work as a teacher, I am also active as a performing pianist. With a background in jazz and light music and many years of stage experience at home and abroad, I bring not only expertise but also lots of fun playing, inspiration, and creativity.

Before you start piano lessons, it is of course nice to first get to know your teacher. I think it’s important there is a good connection between student and teacher — after all, you will be working together for a long time.

A trial lesson is therefore not only meant to get an impression of the lessons but also to get to know each other better. Such a trial lesson lasts about 40 minutes and offers plenty of time for questions. You will discover my teaching style and what you can expect.

A trial lesson is free and completely without obligation. Would you like to schedule one or do you have a question? Please fill in the form below, send a message (or call) to:
