About Me

Hi / Moin,I’m Arne (26), piano player and composer, studying with Prof. Richie Beirach at the HMT-Leipzig since 2005. I was born in „Ostfriesland“, which is absolutely my favourite place to be (although I wouldn’t like to live there at this moment). I started to play the piano when I was six. The most important teacher in classical music for me was Werner Barho. He is a great player of “Neue Musik” I think. He also recommended that I take lessons with Klaus Ignatzek who was teaching at the same school. I called Klaus and studied with him ‘till I was 24. This was the most important time in my musical development. Klaus is probably one of the best piano (and life-) teachers in the world. In February 2007, I had the chance to record my debut album with Tim Ries, Martin Wind and Clarence Penn, who are definitely some of my favourite jazz musicians. So I did. I’m really happy that the record has recently been released by yvp – music. I hope you like it. If yes, please contact me. Of course, you can also get it in some internet stores like amazon etc.
