Classical Guitar Lessons from a Conservatorium-Trained Teacher

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.
Zusätzliche Informationen
You can bring either a classical (nylon) guitar or a steel-string guitar if you want to focus more on pop or jazz/blues.

In the case of small children, I am happy to help the student develop a musical ear from a young age by teaching aurally and visually, as opposed to teaching them to read sheet music straight away. With adult or adolescent beginners I use a combination of visual teaching and easy reading tasks unless the student wishes to focus more on pop music, in which case, reading music is not necessary.

For 9 years, in Sydney and Berlin, I have freelanced as a guitar and music theory tutor. My students include children, high school students, and adults, from beginner to advanced levels.

I teach mostly classical guitar, but I also have many students who wish to focus on pop/rock guitar.

Lessons in Berlin (Neukölln, Tempelhof, your location) and also available online internationally.

I offer in-person and online lessons in double bass and electric bass, improvisation (all instruments, from general ideas to specific concepts) and composition, specializing in Western and experimental notated music and creatively using Ableton as a composition tool. I am based in Berlin-Neukölln and Tempelhof or can come to your location.

I am active throughout Europe as a composer, performer and improviser, and also perform regularly in Berlin. As well as being a full-time professional musician, I was a senior lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire, UK, from 2018-2023, developing and delivering courses and curriculums, and have been a private teacher for 15 years. I hold Bachelor and Master's degrees in music, double bass and composition and have studied at schools in Birmingham, Paris and Berlin.

Our lessons are based around the areas you are most interested in developing, and together we come up with a plan to help you move closer to your goals and goals, whether that be learning specific songs or repertoire, being able to improvise basslines or solos, improving techniques etc. I am open to all ways of learning at all levels, from beginners to professionals. I also offer free optional audio or video feedback between lessons which can serve as useful reminders of ideas, techniques, exercises etc. or just to check in.

Instrumental lessons are relaxed and can include theory, composition and improvisation from the beginning to help develop well-rounded musical skills. Improvisation lessons are suitable for all instruments/vocals and can cover specific musical contexts such as jazz, free improvisation, interpretation of new music (contemporary music) etc.

In my teaching career I have also had the opportunity to develop specialist music projects with children and young adults, using interesting, fun and creative starting points. At the same time my current students range from age 16-50+ and my practice as a professional improviser allows me to be flexible and keep things interesting across all ages, ability levels and genres. Ultimately, it is about developing a personal relationship with the instrument or music, that keeps you engaged and having fun!

English (mother tongue), German and some French as possible teaching languages. Regular, irregular, spontaneous appointments (eg individual lessons) are possible.

Hello everybody!

I offer in-person and online lessons in double bass and electric bass, improvisation (all instruments, from general ideas to specific concepts), and composition, specializing in Western European and experimental notated music and the creative use of Ableton as a compositional tool. I'm based in Berlin-Neukölln and Tempelhof, or I can come to your studio, home, etc.

I work throughout Europe as a composer, performer, and improviser, and also perform regularly in Berlin. In addition to my full-time professional career, I was a lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire in the UK from 2018 to 2023, where I developed and delivered courses and curricula, and I have been a private teacher for 15 years. I hold bachelor's and master's degrees in music, double bass, and composition and have studied at schools in Birmingham, Paris, and Berlin.

Our lessons are tailored to the areas that interest you most, and together we'll develop a plan to help you achieve your goals, whether that's learning specific songs or repertoire, being able to improvise bass lines or solos, improving technique, and more. Some people enjoy learning using a method or songbook, others prefer to learn by ear or simply by doing. I'm open to all styles of learning at all levels, from beginner to advanced. Additionally, I offer optional free audio or video feedback between lessons, which can serve as a useful reminder of ideas, techniques, exercises, etc., or simply to check progress.

Instrumental lessons are relaxed and may include theory, composition, and improvisation from the outset to promote the development of comprehensive musical skills. Improvisation lessons are suitable for all instruments/vocals and can cover specific musical contexts such as jazz, free improvisation, interpretation of new music (contemporary music), etc.

In my teaching career, I've also had the opportunity to develop special music projects with children and young adults that have interesting, fun, and creative starting points.
