Classical Guitar Lessons from a Conservatorium-Trained Teacher

From 60 € /h

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.

Extra information

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.
