Guitar for beginner or intermediate children or adults - Copenhagen - Private lessons

Guitar for beginner or intermediate children or adults

From 43.78 Fr /h

An ex-professional musician with 25 years experience teaching hundreds of children guitar, I am also a qualified primary school teacher with a British degree and several years experience. Privately I have taught chldren from the ages of 7 upwards, and several adults. Two of the children I taught some years ago I'm still in touch with and they are now pursuing degrees and careers in music.

I am an expert at engaging children (and adults, when they have the time to practise!) in the guitar and making their learning fun so that they can start playing recognisable tunes quckly, and progress to advanced skill confidently. I encourage good technique fro the start so that the pupil doesn't have to 'unlearn' a skill and learn it properly in the future.

My approach also teaches musical theory (reading music) simultaneously, so that a pupil can change between instruments at a later date. I do NOT use guitar TAB, which is for guitar only, because it limits the child to the one instrument. My approach is also flexible, meaning that the pupil can gravitate towards whatever style they like with me.

Extra information

You will need a guitar and the desire to practise at home because that's the fastest way to progress!

About Me

I am a British teacher based now in Østerbro.
I have three children of my own (aged 9, 8 and 5) so evenings are generally out I'm afraid.
I am a fullly-qualified teacher with many years of teaching guitar and bass and several years experience teaching in UK primary schools.
This means I'm also able to teach English, maths, science, geography, history, religious education, PE, sport, as well as classical guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, lead guitar and some guitars they haven't even invented yet.
I am terrible at art so I can't teach that, unless you desire to get much worse than you already are, which I don’t recommend. I'm good at photography though, so that's nice.
I can speak Japanese, Danish and some Spanish and French.
I have been a professional and semi-professional musician for a long time.
I make the best lemon tea in the world, I'm told. Honestly, there is only one way to find out…

I teach English varying the focus based on the student's needs. We can prepare for US college applications, or focus on essays for school.
I also tutor French for students who want to practice outside of school, or beginners.
In addition, I've studied classical voice and cello and teach both at the beginner level.

I am an English speaking academic, writer and editor who also plays piano and knows all about music. I have a great piano in my home in Østerbro. I can teach piano and all sorts of music theory. I also can teach singing and guitar, and how to listen to classical music.
I can pass on a deep cultural experience of music.
I also play piano and am looking for people to accompany. Contact me to find out more.

There is not a better time to study the piano! Experienced, dedicated, and fun instruction for your goals at the instrument.
I am a University music professor, now based in Østerbro, Copenhagen, with 20 years of experience teaching across Canada and the United States.

My students work in classical and popular styles, toward goals of examination preparations, university and conservatory acceptances, as well as learning a specific style or set of pieces, or simply for life enrichment. Music is the ultimate way to communicate and to express, and it is my goal for my students to equip themselves to do just that.

Lessons are taught at my home in Østerbro or online.

As a teacher of certificate programs for twenty years, and with over 5 years teaching at the college level to undergraduate and graduate students, my skillset is constantly developing.

Available to teach at all levels for piano, music theory and history lessons, as well as tutoring for conservatory music courses.

I would give a piano lesson that would help improve the student's aural training, piano technique and musicality. Different levels of each student will be taken into account and catered to the student's musical interests and goals that they set when they start the piano lessons.
I'm a Suzuki trained piano player who learnt Kodaly from the age of 5 years old. Some singing may be used in lessons to help with the student's ear training.

Hello, I'm Jia. I'm currently in my first year of pursuing a Master's degree in cello at the Royal Academy of Music in Denmark. I completed my undergraduate studies at the Central Conservatory of Music in China and have 5 years of teaching experience. Whether you are a complete beginner with no prior experience, someone who's interested in learning the cello just for the love of it, or if you aspire to use the cello for university admissions or competitions, I can help you.

About me : I started playing the violin at a very young age and soon joined an orchestra. Moving frequently with my family allowed me to study with teachers of many different backgrounds and to explore a variety of techniques. Now based in Copenhagen, I continue to play in an orchestra and the violin still has a great place in my life.

With over ten years of experience, I’m passionate about sharing my love for the instrument. I believe music should be learned in a respectful, supportive and motivating environment, while following a clear and structured progression. This is exactly what I aim to offer my students: high-quality, personalised teaching in a positive atmosphere that inspires progress and joy in music !
