About Me

Hi, my name is Zac. I am a guitarist, songwriter and producer from Copenhagen with more than 15 years of experience teaching and performing. Over the years I have worked as a sideman for well-known Danish artists such as Burhan G, Julias Moon, Noah, Cisilia and Jørgen Klubien, while also building my solo career with 4 full-length album releases.

I grew up surrounded by instruments – my father Christian is known for building some of the world’s best bass guitars – and I started singing in the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir before forming my first blues/rock trio at the age of 12. Inspired by Prince, Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Jimi Hendrix, I developed a deep love for Funk, R&B, Jazz and Soul, which has shaped both my playing and my teaching.

Highlights from my career include:

Performing with members of Prince’s New Power Generation (John Blackwell Jr. & Morris Hayes) during Prince tributes in Copenhagen.

Sharing the stage with Larry Graham (Sly & The Family Stone, Graham Central Station).
Studio collaborations with Skyler Jett (ex-Commodores) and Wilton Rabb (Larry Graham & Graham Central Station).

Recording projects with international musicians such as MonoNeon and Gorden Campbell.
In my lessons, I combine this experience with a passion for helping students develop their own sound. You will learn not just the techniques – funk rhythm, soulful chords, jazz harmony, improvisation – but also how to play with feel, groove and personality.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already advanced, I will guide you in a way that is practical, inspiring and always centered around the music you love.

Hi,

My name is Can. I've been teaching guitar for 28 years at all levels. If you want to learn to play the most useful and popular instruments in the music world you can join my lessons.

You can play almost all kinds of genres with the guitar. It is the only string instrument which is really polyphonic. The guitar is like an orchestra. Every instrument of the orchestra is inside the guitar but in a smaller sound size. It has many different colors, many different timbres.

Besides teaching this awesome instrument I will also teach you using the programs that help to improvise, recording, and making music. I will give you books, etudes to develop your speed and precision in a short time. After being advanced we will study different genres like rock, blues, jazz, improvisation and solo transcriptions.

All levels are accepted.

Hi there!

My name is Darius , I am from Germany and I am studying my Master's at the Rythmic Music Conservatory in "Music Performance".

I've been playing the piano since the age of 5 years and I started teaching when I was 14 years old. I have experience teaching all levels, including young childres (>6) and adults of all age - teaching privately and in music schools ever since.

I can offer basic to intermediate teaching in classical related and pop related piano / keyboards. Having a jazz background myself I can offer jazz lessons from basic to expert which might include preparing for auditions. I am very open to the interests of my students, but my only requirement is to take some time for people call "practising" - or just making yourself a nice time with music :)

I also offer other music related teaching in music theory, "ear training", production etc. on all levels.

I believe that we should do stuff that you're interested in. Maybe you'd like to learn this beautiful classical piano piece? Or you would like to play jazz piano? Or you'd like to accompany yourself on the piano? Anything is possible :)

I also believe that lessons should not be work that you need to do or be good at... For me it's all about fun, creativity, imagination, and taking a break, relaxing, expressing, listening, experiencing, getting more sensitive.. enjoying music both listening to it and playing it yourself :)

If you're interested, you can listen to my music in my hiphop/jazz band "Bokoya"!

Lessons would take place at Rythmic Music Conservatory in Holmen (Bus 2A from Christianshavn) or (within a reach of 1052) in your home. Timing is pretty flexible. Let's meet each other :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

GuitarMap is a book I've penned, with plenty of shortcuts to understand harmony and how it works in guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, etc. Lessons are based on the book, which makes it easy to keep track of progress.

I teach music through a practical, student-led approach focused on real-world skills, confidence, and creative independence.

My goal is not just to show what to do, but to explain why it works, so students can apply the knowledge across styles, tools, and situations.

Teaching techniques and methods:

I tailor lessons to each student rather than following a rigid syllabus. Teaching is hands on and example driven, using demonstrations, guided exercises, and problem solving. I focus on breaking complex ideas into simple, usable steps, and I prioritise understanding over memorisation. For production and DJ students, this means working directly in their software or setup; for instrumentalists, it means technique applied immediately to music they care about.

A typical lesson plan:

Each lesson usually begins with a short check-in: what have you been working on? What’s got you stuck? And what do you want to do next? We then focus on one or two clear objectives—such as improving a technique, understanding a concept, or developing a track or performance idea. Lessons end with a practical takeaway: a focused exercise, creative task, or workflow to work on between sessions. Including your own SAMPLY portal to share home work and ideas and track messages.

Special characteristics as a teacher

I bring professional, real-world experience into every lesson. I’m direct, patient, and honest about what works and what doesn’t. I’m especially good at helping students who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or self-critical regain clarity and momentum. I adapt quickly to different learning styles and keep lessons grounded and encouraging.

Who I teach

I teach teenagers and adults at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. This includes hobbyists, aspiring professionals, and working musicians who want to level up specific skills. I regularly work with students who are self-taught, returning to music after a break, neurodivergent, or lacking confidence. Lessons are adapted to individual goals, pace, and circumstances.

Accordion is a versatile instrument, used across both folk and classical traditions. In this course, I offer personalised accordion lessons tailored to your level, goals, and musical interests.

I specialise in both button accordion and piano accordion, and I work with students who are complete beginners through to more advanced players looking to refine technique, musicality, and repertoire.

My teaching approach is supportive and flexible. I combine practical playing with a strong focus on listening skills, musical understanding, and expression.

Lessons can include:

Basic technique and posture
Learning tunes and repertoire
Reading music and/or playing by ear
Rhythm, timing, and musical expression
Music theory and understanding what you play
Building confidence and performance skills

Each lesson is adapted to your personal goals, whether you'd like to explore pop songs, folk songs, or classical. My aim is to make learning the accordion enjoyable, structured, and inspiring, while helping you make steady progress at your own pace.
