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.

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.

Music Theory, Conducting, Composition, Orchestration, Arranging

Happy students = happy me.

Hello there! My name is Inês and I am a harpist from Portugal!

With over 8 years of experience teaching music, to both children and adults, I am passionate about inspiring my pupils through art and music! I have experience in teaching both celtic and pedal harp, music theory and piano.
Being passionate about learning new things and expanding my own knowledge, and I strive to instill this same enthusiasm in my students. As a teacher, I have a professional and individual approach to each student, aiming to uncover and explore one’s unique talents and abilities, through tailored methods and approaches.

I strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment where students take an active role by asking questions, sharing ideas, and exploring new horizons. With my students, I focus on developing musicality and technique, whilst also helping them getting acquainted with music theory and perfоrmаnce prаctices, to become autonomous musicians, able to use their instrument as a mean of expression.

Hi Music Lovers!
I teach piano, musical composition writing, ear training, musical improvisation.
I am Asli, a Classical composition student at Royal Danish Academy of Music studying my Bachelors degree at the moment. I have finished my High school in the Purcell School in London, UK with joint first study composition and piano. I had my pieces premiered internationally such as in London, Birmingham, Rotterdam, Istanbul, Manchester and Copenhagen. I also studied piano as my first study from the ages 7 to 18 and participated in international festivals, Masterclasses and concerts in London, Birmingham, Amalfi, Ankara, Istanbul, Manchester and Glasgow. I have also participated in various workshops for music teaching to young kids and those with disabilities. I also have experience teaching for people in all ages and with disabilities.
The lessons would be in either English or in Turkish.

If you are starting from scratch or are a beginner, I can teach you guitar while having fun in a relaxed atmosphere and learning to play your favourite songs. We can play both acoustic and electric guitar, and our goal will be to reach the level where you can have a blast playing along to your favourite music.

Are you curious how to play your favorite song? Do you want to play solos like your favorite artists? Do you want to understand the harmony of the music you like? Or you're looking for someone who will explain to you the first steps of playing piano...

I'm a pianist and composer with a rich background in classical, pop, and jazz genres, embracing diverse musical ideas and genres. With years of experience in music theory and the music industry, I offer a unique perspective to aspiring musicians. Reach out to me on our teacher platform to book a meeting and explore your musical aspirations together.

Whether you are just starting to play the guitar or piano, or you are already an advanced musician interested in exploring complex compositional ideas and developing your own improvisational language, I am glad to help you in your musical journey. With seven years of teaching experience, I offer lessons for students of all ages and levels of advancement.

I focus on helping students develop both their instrumental skills and creative awareness. My teaching combines structure, intuition, and critical listening — whether we work on guitar technique, harmony, and phrasing, or on broader concepts of form, texture, and composition.

A typical session may include practical exercises on the instrument, analysis of selected works, guided improvisation, or composition tasks. Depending on your interests, we can also explore digital tools such as DAWs and live electronics.

My goal is to give students both technical precision and artistic freedom — helping each person build a deeper understanding of sound and their own musical identity.

Hej! My name is Steaph, I am a harpist from Scotland. I have lived in Copenhagen for 4 years.

Being from Scotland, where the lever harp is a traditional instrument, I have a lot of experience with celtic and folk music. I am a professional classical musician in Copenhagen, but I also have a passion for arranging and performing pop music!

So please write to me with the pieces you dream of playing - I would love to help you work towards these goals!

Master of Music The Royal Danish Academy of Music- 2023 (Harp)

1st Class Bachelor of Music with Honors- 2017 (Royal Northern College of Music)

What to expect from my lessons:

I believe that everybody has the ability to play music and I can help you improve your confidence with my positive and encouraging attitude! This includes everybody from absolute beginners who have never performed in front of anybody. I like to provide a fun and relaxed atmosphere for my students to be able to play to the best of their ability.

I can help you develop a healthy technique: every student I have is different therefore I introduce exercises for each of my students according to their abilities and goals.

I love to help students with the interpretation and performance of different pieces in any genre.

I can help you to create a practice plan that is unique to your needs, time and goals.

Learn to play guitar with focus on R&B, Funk and Jazz – from soulful chords and rhythm grooves to expressive improvisation.
Whether you are a beginner wanting to learn the basics or an advanced player looking to refine your style, I adapt the lessons to your level and musical goals.
We will work with:
Rhythm guitar techniques for Funk & R&B
Jazz harmony and improvisation
Developing your own sound and style
Playing by ear and creating your own arrangements
The lessons are practical, creative and always centered around the music you love.

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.

Finally there is an international guitar school in Copenhagen where all students are not only learning how to play properly the guitar from a professional guitarist but also how to appreciate the meaning of the music and arts.

Students will also be prepared for professional music education. So whether the student wants to become a professional guitar player or play the guitar as a hobby, they will always learn a constructive way to play the guitar and perform with the instrument.
