I teach every little thing a guitarist should know, like the correct hand techniques, reading music, and music theory (in a very practical way). And can teach all styles, all guitars and all levels.

But most of all, my biggest passion and mission in life is to help you to be more creative and expressive. And the guitar is the best way to achieve it, of course.

I encourage all my students to write music, improvise, and find their own path, voice, and sound on the guitar. Creating music is not only really fun, but it’s also the most valuable way to learn guitar and understand music on a deeper level.

My current guitar students range from complete beginners to advanced guitarists. They want to embrace the joy of music in their lives and unlock their creative potential by improvising, songwriting, and music composing.
Some of them work towards their diplomas and concerts, and I’m happy to support them along the journey and get great results.

I believe that there are many paths to learning guitar, and I accommodate and design a plan according to your individual goals and needs. In the literature, it’s called “student-led”, and I am firmly convinced that this is the most suitable way to learn.

Présentation
You’ve reached this page probably because you searched for “Guitar lessons north London”. Great! I am a guitar teacher in north London!

The guitar is objectively the most amazing musical instrument there is! And I love showing aspiring guitarists and musicians the sheer magic it can produce.

I’ve been teaching since 2002 and was happy to help guitar players in north London and around the world to take their first steps on the guitar or to improve their current skills. It’s always amazing to see the transformation.

As a teacher, I strive to help you reach whatever goals you may have on the guitar and become the best version of your creative self.

I teach every little thing a guitarist should know, like the correct hand techniques, reading music, and music theory (in a very practical way). And can teach all styles, all guitars and all levels.

But most of all, my biggest passion and mission in life is to help you to be more creative and expressive. And the guitar is the best way to achieve it, of course.

I believe that there are many paths to learning guitar, and I accommodate and design a plan according to your individual goals and needs. In the literature, it’s called “student-led”, and I am firmly convinced that this is the most suitable way to learn.

I picked up a guitar in 1991. So yeah, I’ve been playing for quite some time… Back then, I had some amazing guitar teachers who taught and inspired me so much.

One of them, Gilad Benamram (who’s now a famous film and TV composer), left the greatest impact on me. So when I became a guitar teacher, I wanted to adopt his unique teaching approach.

His method was to give creative guitar challenges and his positive feedback was very motivating and encouraged me to achieve more and more. And that’s my ultimate goal when I teach guitar.

Once I reached a decent level, I started to collaborate and play with other musicians, bands and ensembles. So over the years, I gained experience on stage as a performing guitarist and in the studio as a session player and recording artist.

Despite getting to a pro level, I kept on studying different aspects of guitar playing and music. I still do so until this very day as learning and living music is an ongoing part of my life.

I give guitar lessons in north London – Crouch End, Highgate area. And am a registered guitar teacher in RGT@LCM – the Registry of Guitar Tutors at the London College of Music.

Since Covid, I’ve been teaching online guitar lessons and using a unique online studio. This studio is designed for music lessons and the audio quality is much better than Zoom. You can actually hear two guitars playing at the same time!

On my online guitar studio, I can offer my services to my students who live across the world, from Portland to Singapore.

Of course, that’s how I also teach my London-based students. Even now, in 2022, they find this method efficient. There’s no travel time, no lateness, and the lessons’ recaps are stored in their own space in the online guitar studio. The studio is also a hosting platform where my students can upload videos and files to get my feedback in-between lessons.

FAQ

Q: Do you take complete beginners?
A: Yes. I’m happy to take beginners. Sometimes, I even prefer beginners as I can teach you the right techniques straight away, without the need to break bad old habits. Usually, self-taught students or students of inadequate teachers acquire flawed right and left-hand techniques, unfortunately.

Q: What is your method of teaching guitar?
A: I build a custom-made programme that would fit to your goals and needs. If you think you don’t have any goals and just want to play a bit and have fun, that’s also an honourable goal and I’ll just aim toward that. Just let me know what kind of music you’re into. I usually incorporate a bit of music theory in my lessons as well as encourage my students to create music of their own.

Q: What kind of styles and genres do you teach?
A: Over the years I’ve dubbed with almost any possible music genre and style there is. Therefore, I can teach almost everything. From classical guitar grade exam preparations, through acoustic singer-songwriter songs, to electric guitar shredding.

Q: What is expected of me as a student?
A: Three important things: 1) practice, 2) practice, and 3) more practice. You need a minimum of 10 minutes a day to practice, and I’m sure you can find that time. I also teach how to practice without the guitar! My philosophy (based on research) is that daily 10-minute guitar practice is better than playing once a week for two hours. It’s because you want to make a habit out of it and bring music to your life.
There’s no other alternative or a hidden secret to getting better at guitar quickly yet I’m afraid. When we’ll become cyborgs it might change…

Q: Do you have a cancellation policy?
A: Yes. I understand that there are unexpected events that can cause cancellations, but any disruption affects the consistency and standards of the learning experience for both the student and the teacher. Therefore, I will use the time of any cancelled session to plan, film and upload a new personalised lesson for you instead.

Testimonials from guitar students:

I had been meaning to get Guitar lessons for many years, and am so glad I finally did it and chose Udi. I have been getting lessons from Udi in person for about 7 months and recently online and can highly recommend both methods, the online lessons are great to allow me to keep progressing whilst the lockdown is in place. After quite a bit of searching online for a teacher in North London who would teach flamenco as well as other styles of guitar, I came across Udi’s site, the reviews speak for themselves. I have been learning a mixture of flamenco, and rock from bands which I enjoy listening to. Udi can teach a wide range of styles and has a deep understanding of music. He breaks down the lessons into a way which I can understand and progress as well as helping me to construct my practicing to fit into a busy lifestyle. He also encourages me to take a video of him summarising the lesson each week which really helps make the most of the lesson whilst I’m practicing. Udi is patient and takes the time to explain the theory behind the music if this is of interest, he has good humour and is passionate about what he teaches. I feel that I have just scratched the surface of what I can learn.

Andrea
My name is Andrea, I have recently concluded my Artist's Master in keyboard instruments at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. My passion for music induced me to apply in the “Conservatorio Profesional de Música de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria” in the course of Harpsichord as my principal study. After 10 years studying music and obtaining the diploma of “Grado de Enseñanzas Profesionales” in the conservatory, I developed a deep interest for Classical and Early music for keyboard instruments.

Discovering a historical and musical universe, I decided to continue my performing and theoretical investigation studying the bachelor course in keyboard instruments including piano, harpsichord and organ. I had the amazing opportunity to obtain a scholarship and study at the "Conservatorio Tartini di Trieste", in Italy. Working with exceptional teachers, i was able expand my linguistic abilities and cultural appreciation for the expressive diversity of Keyboard music. I have discovered the magnificent variety between many composers all around Europe and the distinct features and techniques they utilized to improvise and to embellish their pieces. During this artistic journey, i have had extraordinary performance experiences as a soloist including playing at the Parlament of Brussels and the National Gallery in Bosnia. Recently, living in London has inspired me to take part in a wide variety of exciting projects such as performing as a keyboard accompanist in Opera Scenes and with the Guildhall Baroque Orchestra in the Milton Court Concert Hall.
