From 40.06 € /h

Music is a beautiful thing that today can be anything from a brief escape from reality, to a passion, to a hobby to enjoy. I help people learn about all types of music, and aid them in forging their own relationship with it. Experienced in many different genres and styles, I seek to expand people's musical views and show them that regardless of who you are, where you're from and what you do, music can be whatever you want it to be for you, and it's my job to help you figure out what that is and find what your passion in music is.
