Piano: Helmut Dimmel has recently moved from Germany to Walton County. At the early age of seven, he learned how to play the organ. Due to his rapid progress, his teacher advanced him to classical training piano lessons. Helmut later developed a love for rock-pop music at the age of 17. He now has 29 years of experience as a piano teacher.
Helmut has the unique ability to teach a worship leader/pianist/organist how to accompany different choirs, to be a soloist, and/or train someone to perform in weddings, concerts, and musicals with a band. Due to his vast experience using the chord method, Helmut can help students develop their ability to play by ear, and identify and play chords, tabs, and patterns. Keyboard improvisation is a fun method to learn. It develops the freedom to be creative, the ability to play in bands, and the option of playing without sheet music.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in social work and education in Germany and many years of teaching private lessons, Helmut has the experience and knowledge needed to effectively educate children, young people, adults, and senior adults to reach their musical goals.
