ABOUT ME

Hi there,
my name is Uwe (Karcher). Nice that you stop by me. Maybe you've just heard me on YouTube, got a recommendation from someone, or just googled me - by all means, be
warm welcome!
Some information about me
From 1989 to 1995 I studied classical piano (instrumental pedagogy) at the Robert Schumann University in Düsseldorf, but I like to teach jazz, blues, pop, rock and bar piano at least as much - styles with which I have been involved since my youth and which I have practiced with various bands or as a solo pianist.
My classical music favorites are Bach, Chopin, Liszt, Ravel and Debussy. This is of course also due to the fact that these composers were key pioneers for jazz harmony.
In jazz, Keith Jarrett and Lyle Mays are especially close to my heart. Also, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Dave Grusin, Dave McKenna and (as a non-pianist) Pat Metheny should not be missing from my list. If you are missing important names - I know them all.
Transcribe, arrange, compose
I should also mention that I am passionate about transcribing, arranging and composing!
TRANSCRIBE
Transcribing means that I hear piano pieces exactly (note for note, tone for tone) from sound carriers, write them down and make them accessible to my students in a professional layout (e.g. Keith Jarrett's “Tokyo Encore”).

And that´s what my YouTube followers say:
