Learn to play guitar and write music with LIUKE !!

From 48 € /h

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

About Me

Hi, I'm 27 years old and have quite some experience with teaching thanks to a minor on "how to teach" where I had the opportunities to teach in person through the conservatory. I'm very open and funny so the lesson will never be boring, like for real. And I'll make sure that you learn while having fun because as Victor Wooten say: "Music is a language and you learn it the same way you learnt talking: by listening" .

On top of that I graduated from Prins Claus Conservatorium from Bachelor and Master where I spent an exchange half year in New York where I recorded an album, so you can check my music on online platforms (Spotify) by typing LIUKE (Artist)
