A partir de 51.37 $ /h

If you would like to learn the guitar and feel too intimidated to begin, you have found the right teacher. I offer one-to-one, individually tailored lessons in beginner's acoustic guitar in the comfortable, stress-free environment of my Pberg home.

I have a Bachelor of Music from King's College London and a Master's in Music Technology from New York University. I have been playing the acoustic guitar for 12 years and the flamenco guitar for 4 years. I am also the lead singer of an indie band based in Berlin.

I believe music is about what you enjoy playing and hearing. I will focus on teaching you the music YOU want to learn and making the learning process as enjoyable as possible while ensuring solid technique and skill.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Acerca de mí

Hi! I am a guitar teacher and I give lessons in my apartment at Pberg 10407.

When I am not teaching, I am a painter, singer-songwriter, and filmmaker.

I believe that learning an instrument should be first and foremost an enjoyable experience. That is why I always aim to teach you what you as a student want to play. Practicing what you love also makes you more motivated which makes you learn faster. Of course I still work on building your technique, but this will be integrated into the songs you like to play.

I look forward to teaching you!

Hi, I’m Andrea!
I’m a professional classical guitar performer and educator from Sydney, Australia. I have been developing my music teaching business for over 9 years, through which I teach a wide range of styles, levels, and ages. Lessons are specifically tailored to meet the needs of each student, whether the focus is on classical guitar performance, chords, pop/rock, or Spanish-style fingerpicking. Music theory, composition, songwriting, improvisation, sight-reading, and preparation for high school exams or University auditions are all options that can be incorporated into lessons.

I have plenty of experience with young children and teenagers as well as adults, from complete beginners to advanced players. My teaching philosophy is holistic in that I strive to help my students become well-rounded musicians with a range of listening, reading, improvisation, and analytical skills, while of course carefully choosing repertoire that will cater to the student’s taste as well as their abilities. Pop/rock guitar and jazz/blues improvisation are also options as well as classical training.

My method is based on each student in particular. It doesn't matter what your level is, I enjoy teaching people who have a commitment to music and art. The main topics we'll work on are: Recognizing the guitar fingerboard, technique, sound, ear training, transcribing, harmony and harmony applied to the instrument, and reading and studying the instrument through the music you like and chose.

In my 45-year career as a musician (guitarist, singer, and composer) I have always seen how music enriches our lives. In this sense, I am motivated to positively influence people around me through music and to get them to actively participate. Of course, I am interested in introducing children and young people to music. It is very exciting for me to witness how you have your first contact with tones and instruments.

With me, you get a seasoned musician with a sense of mission and empathy for the "future" musicians

Hello!
Alright, I'll break it down into parts. If you look for a more "narrowed description" just scroll down to where I made a list :)

My name is Francisco, and I'm a guitar player from Argentina, currently living in Berlin.
I am very enthusiastic about teaching and sharing the energy to grow musically with my students.
I have taught music for 7 years in schools and privately at home. With private lessons, my aim is to adjust to the student's likes and abilities. I am attentive to the needs and the reasons why someone is wanting to play and learn music. And I try to encourage the curiosity and spirit of making music and not follow what is "considered" that you should learn.

What to expect from the first lesson with me?
To get to know each other. That way I see what you like and what you don't, what you already play, and your learning pace. Probably I can share with you something new already, and from there, we will build a "program" according to what you want your rhythm and time availability. I value singularity and I like to get to know who I teach, so that way I can help them better. It can be first chords and ways of learning new songs, improvisational tools, or pure harmony and theory stuff.
Because everyone is different, for example, if you like Rock I will go in that direction and teach you the elements that make Rock sound like it does and I won't teach you Jazz Harmony, if you like Classical music we will go over the abilities that you have to have to execute this kind of music, the same goes for the styles that I play.

My skills:
I play and have played mainly Fingerstyle Guitar, Jazz, Argentine Tango, Jazz Manouche, Rock, Rockabilly, and Experimental. I have worked a lot playing Bossa Nova at some point. I don't like teaching something that I don't know. So for example, oriental music I couldn't teach. And if we come to a point where I am not helpful anymore, I will say so. What I do like is learning with students, it is often the case that your students teach you new ways of thinking about music and I find that super exciting!

I was lucky to travel a bit of the world playing music with different projects and musicians that I admire, I always did this playing mainly Jazz music. I have played in bars and clubs and theaters in New York, Boston, Buenos Aires, and in different cities around Switzerland, Germany, France, Holland.
I was also part of several orchestras (Jazz, Tango, and Rock) in Argentina and the US.

I teach beginner - intermediate - advanced levels of different topics:
- how to improve technique (right hand and left hand)
- how to improvise (elements of improvisation, vocabulary, phrasing, etc.)
- how to visualize the fretboard
- how to learn songs by ear, and how to read music (or tab)
- how harmony and music theory work
- specific genres such as Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, Bossa Nova, Tango, Rock, and Fingerstyle.

The lessons can be also in German (basic, so you might need a bit of patience with me!), Spanish (that's my mother tongue), or English. They can be at my place (Wedding), all corona safe, or online via Zoom/Skype.

Shoot me a message if you are interested!
All the best,
Francisco

An experienced guitar teacher with a Professional and Higher Degree in Modern Guitar from the CSMC gives private lessons in general music and/or guitar from Beginner level to medium/high level, classes focused on the interests and objectives of the student.

Your favorite styles: Jazz, Rock, Heavy, Pop, Funk, etc.

Harmony, the art of discovering the musical ins and outs.
Chords: All types, inversions, and drops applied to different styles.
Most used phrases and techniques, both melodically and rhythmically.
Arpeggios, the chords broken down in a practical way.
Scales and modes, to lose the fear of improvising.
Theory and material to suit the student and his objectives.

Entrance tests to the professional degree of electric guitar are being prepared!

In an entertaining and simple way, at your own pace!

The classes are focused on the final aspirations of the student, both those who learn as a hobby, to play their favorite songs or those who consider a more serious and complete learning. The theory-practice balance will vary depending on this approach, from focusing the sessions on practical and concrete learning to the in-depth understanding of the exercises and their theoretical why.

Don't think about it, go ahead and embark on this incredible and fun path!

Hello 🙂
I am Dario, an Italian Berlin-based guitar teacher teaching in English, Spanish, and Italian.
I am offering private classes for individuals looking to:

Improve their playing technique
Find their feel with the instrument
Learn how to write songs
Learn how to improvise
Work on stage presence
Work on the interpretation of songs

In my classes we can focus on:
both left and right-hand technique
Songwriting
Improvisation
Performance
Psychology of playing
Body & Breathing Awareness Through Meditation

My sessions are open to singers of all levels and backgrounds and with all genre preferences (I *am* specialize in classical, pop, bossa nova, and jazz).

I offer sessions to all interested individuals, where we will together assess where you are at, and what you want to work towards. I will adapt my teaching to what can benefit you better: my job is to walk beside you and guide you through your own process of self-discovery and exploration, not only working on the guitar itself but also on the emotional implications of playing, often a very vulnerable act of giving and opening up.

If this sounds appealing to you, feel free to slide into my DMs for further info 🙂

I studied classical guitar at the Conservatorio di Musica Italy, and have a Bachelor's in International Relations.
I have a certificate in Public Speaking Technique and attended various guitar masterclasses. I have been working as a professional guitarist, singer, and event organizer in Berlin. I also work as a professional podcaster and podcast editor.

Hi there! My name is Samuel, and I’m a Spanish guitar teacher offering private lessons.

I'm originally from Spain, and although my native language is French, I also speak English fluently, so communication won't be a problem at all. Lessons can be conducted in English, French, or Spanish, depending on your preference.

Alongside technique and repertoire, I incorporate music theory and harmony applied directly to the guitar, helping you understand what you play and why it works. This foundation will also allow you to explore other styles such as pop, Latin, or traditional folk, depending on your interests.

You can take lessons at your place, at my studio in Berlin, or online. Flexible scheduling is available.
