The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Hello! my name is Sarah. I have a certificate in Classical Piano Performance. I have years of experience in teaching music in different languages (Arabic, English, German and French).
In 2020 I finished my master's in Music Therapy in Germany. At the end of my studies, I did my research on online music playing and wrote my thesis on music interaction through online platforms which gave me a great deal of experience when it comes to online teaching. In my online lesson, I use several cameras from several angles to give the student the chance to see what I am doing.
My lessons (Live and Online) are fun and very beneficial, and all my students showed fast progress

Hello there!

My name is Sara and I'm a classical pianist and piano teacher. I have been a pianist for about 15 years and started teaching it a while ago as well. I offer lessons in 3 different languages ( English, Arabic and German) for both beginner and intermediate levels.

I believe music should be enjoyed and comfortably played, allowing people to both connect with it and understand while challenging them to express themselves in new and different ways. Music lessons are fun and will be set to make the student confident and comfortable in their playing. If any student needs extra time or space to feel secure and safe, I will offer as much understanding and security as I can.
Trust is my number one motto, if for any reason a student feels pressured or uncomfortable they can come and talk to me directly and we shall figure out a way to make music learning fun and enjoyable for them.

I'd like to think of myself as someone who truly enjoys making a good change in the world and who tries to offer the best possible experience when getting to know the instrument and how to play it and I hope you find the trust in me to sign up for my class!


Thank you and have a lovely day

With over 18 years of professional experience as a musician and music teacher, I have created a specialized, proprietary curriculum proven to significantly enhance musical skills, regardless of the student's background.

My core approach is personalized pedagogy: I prioritize understanding each student's individual learning style and personality to create a perfectly tailored lesson plan. I don't just teach you; I empower you to master the art of self-instruction.

Areas of Specialization
1. Rock & Blues Guitar (Beginner to Advanced)

-Technique: Sweep picking, alternate picking, and speed development.

-Improvisation: Practical application of modes for rock and blues soloing.

-Repertoire: Learning through famous rock songs and exploring pedal/multi-effects.

2. Jazz Guitar (Intermediate to Advanced)

-Theory & Harmony: In-depth study of modes, triads, intervals, and advanced chord voicings.

-Practical Application: Analyzing standard chord changes (e.g., ii-V-I) and transcribing classic solos.

-Improvisation: Developing harmonic sensibility and fluency on the fretboard.
