Learn Guitar with an Experienced Singer-Guitarist – Fun, Friendly, and Flexible! 🎸🎤
Hi there! My name’s Duncan, and I’m a passionate singer-guitarist, performer, and teacher originally from London, now living in beautiful Zurich. I’ve spent years playing, singing, and performing in London’s vibrant music scene, and I’d love to share my experience and love for music with you.

Whether you’re an absolute beginner or looking to refine your skills, my lessons are tailored to your goals and pace. We’ll work on everything from learning your favorite songs to exploring techniques, improvisation, and even a little music theory – all while keeping it fun and inspiring!

I can also help you explore pedals, effects, and looping, guide you in choosing the right guitar, and even assist with recording your demos – giving you everything you need to grow and develop as a musician.

I offer lessons in English at my home in Zurich or at yours – whichever feels more comfortable for you. Flexibility is key, and I’ll do my best to fit around your schedule.

A little about me: I’ve been playing guitar and singing for over 20 years, performed at various venues across London, and taught students of all levels and ages. Whether you’re aiming to jam with friends, write your own music, or just strum and sing along to your favorite tunes, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

🎶 Ready to start your guitar (and maybe singing!) journey? Feel free to drop me a message. Let’s make music together!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

More about my classes

My guitar teaching model is based on books and the approach of guitarist and pedagogue Abel Carlevaro.
In some way, it is about understanding and analyzing the nature of the movements we make to play the guitar in the simplest way possible.
Just as to build a building you need a good foundation, to build a system of skills that allows us to be musicians, we need to know and practice in a conscious way all the movements we do. These movements are what we do when we play just one open string or what we need to do to play the most difficult piece of the repertoire.

I pay special attention to achieve a good balance in teaching. I try to make the student develop at the same time the techniques to play the guitar and the artistic sensibility needed to make music. Because no matter the technical level of the student, my classes will always be oriented to making music and to be able to enjoy the processes that the musical activity involves. A simple guitar piece takes on another dimension if the basic principles of musical interpretation are applied.

After getting to know and listening to how my students play I propose a short and medium term work plan. This plan is presented taking into account the objectives and wishes of each student. Exercises and pieces are included that will also allow to know the repertoire of the guitar. Therefore, each work plan includes specific and general contents.

Warm sounds and stylistic versatility - the cello offers that and much more!
Ioanna gives her student body a lively and enriching approach to music. In this way, she awakens the joy of the variety of cello playing. She teaches the various playing techniques in a natural teaching atmosphere. She also experiments with simple melodies, scales and small improvisations. She also dares to work with her students on larger works from the wide range of cello literature.

In terms of pitch, the cello is most similar to the human voice - and thus also to the human soul.

I'm sure you'll enjoy our lessons, which are designed to provide challenges that encourage your progress. Whether you're just starting out or already an experienced guitarist, these lessons will help you reach new heights of guitar mastery.

Of course, your wishes are always our top priority, so you can decide what you want to learn and what kind of music you want to play. I look forward to working with you!
