Learn to play my sonatas. Moonlight, Pathetique, Appassionata, Waldstein, Hammerklavier. We start with the ones you can handle and work up to the ones that break you. The Hammerklavier has destroyed better pianists than you. That's what makes it worth trying.

I'll teach you what my father taught me: start with a melody that a child can hum. Then build. Harmony, counterpoint, orchestration. A symphony is just a melody that grew up. No prior theory needed -- if you can sing, you can compose.

Replica of my Walter fortepiano -- the instrument I actually played, not a modern Steinway. Lighter action, clearer tone, closer to what I heard when I composed. Perfect for performing Mozart, Haydn, early Beethoven the way it was meant to sound.

Lead white, yellow ochre, raw umber, burnt sienna, vermillion, bone black. The exact palette I used. Six colors. That's enough to paint anything if you understand value. Modern cadmium substitutes included because lead will kill you.

Learn to perform Shakespeare without being terrified of the language. We start with the insults (those are the fun part), work through the monologues, and end with a scene. No experience needed. Just a voice and a willingness to look foolish -- that's how all great actors start.

Learn buon fresco: painting directly onto wet plaster so the pigment becomes part of the wall. You have about 8 hours before it dries. No corrections. No undo button. The technique is 3,000 years old and it's still the most permanent form of painting that exists.

We read poetry. We sit in silence. We spin. This is not a class -- it's a practice. Bring nothing but yourself. Leave your opinions at the door. The heart knows things the mind will never understand.

Private or small group geometry lessons. We start from five axioms and build everything. No calculators. No shortcuts. Compass, straightedge, and your mind. I've been doing this for 2,300 years and the method hasn't changed because it doesn't need to.

Hobart N50 commercial mixer, 5-quart capacity. The bakery standard. Comes with dough hook, flat beater, wire whip. 3-speed. Makes 3kg of bread dough or 5kg of cake batter per batch.

30m drain inspection camera with 7-inch LCD screen, LED lights, video recording. See inside pipes before you start digging. Saves you from guessing where the blockage is.

Professional deep cleaning for apartments and houses. Move-in, move-out, post-renovation, or just because it's been too long. Every surface: kitchen (oven, fridge inside), bathroom (grout, limescale), floors (mop + wax), windows, baseboards. I bring all products and equipment. You come back to a place that smells like new.
