Electric & Acoustic Guitar Lessons (Songwriting) [EN]

Van 30 € /h

Hi!

Have you ever dreamed of strumming your guitar to your own original songs, feeling that electric thrill of creating something truly yours? My name is Aleksi and I am a Berlin based guitar teacher, singer, musician and professional songwriter. I am offering private guitar lessons (EN) with an added focus on songwriting. With me you can learn techniques like:

🎸 Guitar Mastery: From basic chords and fingerpicking to advanced techniques like soloing and singing and playing at the same time. I'll help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be.

📝 Songwriting Skills: Unleash your creativity and learn how to craft songs that resonate. From writing legendary lyrics to creating memorable melodies, I'll help you find your unique voice.

Whether you are a beginner (looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to even start) or an experienced player (playing the same chords over and over again wondering what the next step is); my lessons are open to everyone with a love of music and a willingness to learn.

Lessons are provided in my dedicated home studio room near Sonnenallee.

I am really looking forward to hearing about you and what you are looking to learn!

Over

I am a professional teacher, guitarist, singer and songwriter who has been teaching and working in the music industry for over 9 years. I am originally from Finland but have been living in Berlin for 7 years. I love guiding my students on their musical journey and seeing their love of the craft develop as their skills improve.

The focus of my teaching is on individual development. That means no 'cookie-cutter' songs, instead we focus on the songs that you love and want to play. Each lesson is tailor made for the student and is centered on the songs and skills that you want to develop.

I believe strongly that your own enjoyment of your instrument and writing is the key to learning. If you are not enjoying what you are doing then taking the time and effort to improve is difficult. With my guidance I aim to expand your skills and help you find your inner voice.

Hi there! I'm a professional, award-winning guitarist with over 18 years of experience playing Jazz, Blues, Funk, Pop, and Finger-style. I have worked internationally as a bandleader, accompanist, and solo performer.

My approach to teaching is very pragmatic, time-efficient, and fun and I prefer not to overwhelm students with too much information or technical exercises. I believe that the number one priority both in playing and teaching music should be enjoyment, and that's why I tailor each lesson to the uniqueness of each student, making sure that we are learning about things that YOU want to learn about and moving towards YOUR unique goals.
I look forward to hearing from you and learning together!

My teaching is also informed by years of research into areas such as neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and meditation. This background has allowed me to develop a truly holistic approach to music, one which promises not only faster improvement, but also greater musical EASE, ENJOYMENT, and CREATIVITY.

Philip :)

I view teaching vocals and songwriting as a therapeutic, holistic process, where my students learn techniques and practical tools that help them hone their craft, but also work through psychological blockages that make them into greater artists.
