When I got my first guitar on my fifteenth birthday, the appointment was that I would also take lessons immediately to become proficient in it. So I took lessons with Cor, who lived a bit further down the street, and Cor played cowboy music. He saw my eagerness and led me to his supervisor. Songs singing and playing chords, that's what it was about.
This process was repeated on my eighteenth with a classical guitar; as a gift, but also take lessons. Classical lesson at Janine, there I learned to play notes and therefore also of leaves!

The guitar lessons take place after school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon. Other times are negotiable.
I really like teaching; so my enthusiasm for the instrument has an outlet!
Together we try to find out what makes you like that in guitar playing; that is what we are going to work with. Fingering, percussion and plucking techniques, playing notes and tablature, chords and melodies, songs and grooves, improvisation and performance; it is all covered!

With the classical guitar you can get a lot of different possibilities to play !

Born and raised in Northern Ontario, Canada, I've been playing music for over 40 years. I'm starting to get the hang of it. Classically trained and world influenced, I am proficient in both old and new musical styles My main instrument is guitar, but I am also quite taken by the piano. I would be happy to show you some of what I've learned. I have taught music to people of all ages and of various backgrounds. I have a nice rapport with kids and adults. I am friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and easy to have around for 45 minutes each week. I speak english, french, spanish, german, and some dutch.

Teaching varies depending on your desired style, level and what you want to achieve.

We will go through chords, both basic and advanced.
Memorizing freatboard through very efficient method.
Also learning all the scales and arpeggios, writing and reading the music.
I can also help with songwriting and singing while playing.

One of the objective is of course as well to learn how to improvise and play along with the band.

Main focus is on learning as much as possible through fun and games.

Will be giving electric guitar lessons for rock, pop,funk, heavy metal, etc. I have been playing for 5-10 years and am capable of teaching students of all levels within these genres. I am able to teach students depending on their needs(e.g whether they just want to be able to play a few songs or be a capable guitarist). Basic music theory can be taught too.

I'm from the Netherlands and I've been living in Lisbon for more than 3 years.

Hello!
I can teach you guitar at any level and share with you my tricks in composition!
I'm open to teach you anything that you are interested in, I have a lot of knowledge on theory, harmony and solfege and I can teach you when is the right time to break the rules. I can also prepare you to enter any music academy.

I teach my students to be independent and to think as professional musicians. I want them not only to be able to understand, perform and arrange music but I also want them to have the big and realistic picture on how the music industry works. And that is why I include in my teaching how to develop a growing mindset that makes you hungry for learning.
I love leading my students to the process of discovering their musical personality.

I'm originally from Italy but lived in Netherlands the last 7 years and New York. I live in Amsterdam at the moment

As I have taught students who not only do music as a hobby, but also students with serious career plans in music, I am open to various styles of playing guitar (jazz, blues, fingerstyle, and other popular genres) to all levels.

My approach is heavily focused on individual student's goals and needs: If you are just starting to play the instrument, for instance, we will focus on learning the basic technique through simple and easy songs. I
f you are intermediate or advanced player already, we will focus on refining your already existing knowledge and find improvements to work on. Or, we can focus on specific themes, for instance improvisation, transcribing, and so on.

I also enjoy music theory very much and as I too struggled with grasping the concept when I was younger I am now more than happy to be able to present the world of music theory to anyone who is interested. We can begin with the basics that can help you improve on your instrument or we can dive deeper into more advanced fields of jazz theory. Whether you would like to learn music theory for practicality or you have an exam soon and would like to revise/learn more, I am more than happy to help you out on your music theory journey.

Hi! I’m Oleg, a professional guitarist and music educator based in Groningen, Netherlands.

I hold a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Guitar from Prins Claus Conservatorium, however most of my musical education happened on real stages — performing, touring, and working full-time as a musician since 2016.

I’ve toured internationally aboard Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, P&O, Cunard, Ponant, and Princess Cruises, performing everything from solo sets and jazz nights to full-scale theatre productions with singers, dancers, and a full technical crew for audiences up to 1500 people.
This experience shaped me into a truly versatile musician — equally comfortable playing jazz, rock, blues, funk, bossanova, pop.
