    Guitar/Music/Composition Lessons in Berlin (All ages and all levels welcome!)

    Hello!
    Alright, I'll break it down into parts. If you look for a more "narrowed description" just scroll down to where I made a list :)

    My name is Francisco, and I'm a guitar player from Argentina, currently living in Berlin.
    I am very enthusiastic about teaching and sharing the energy to grow musically with my students.
    I have taught music for 7 years in schools and privately at home. With private lessons, my aim is to adjust to the student's likes and abilities. I am attentive to the needs and the reasons why someone is wanting to play and learn music. And I try to encourage the curiosity and spirit of making music and not follow what is "considered" that you should learn.

    What to expect from the first lesson with me?
    To get to know each other. That way I see what you like and what you don't, what you already play, and your learning pace. Probably I can share with you something new already, and from there, we will build a "program" according to what you want your rhythm and time availability. I value singularity and I like to get to know who I teach, so that way I can help them better. It can be first chords and ways of learning new songs, improvisational tools, or pure harmony and theory stuff.
    Because everyone is different, for example, if you like Rock I will go in that direction and teach you the elements that make Rock sound like it does and I won't teach you Jazz Harmony, if you like Classical music we will go over the abilities that you have to have to execute this kind of music, the same goes for the styles that I play.

    My skills:
    I play and have played mainly Fingerstyle Guitar, Jazz, Argentine Tango, Jazz Manouche, Rock, Rockabilly, and Experimental. I have worked a lot playing Bossa Nova at some point. I don't like teaching something that I don't know. So for example, oriental music I couldn't teach. And if we come to a point where I am not helpful anymore, I will say so. What I do like is learning with students, it is often the case that your students teach you new ways of thinking about music and I find that super exciting!

    I was lucky to travel a bit of the world playing music with different projects and musicians that I admire, I always did this playing mainly Jazz music. I have played in bars and clubs and theaters in New York, Boston, Buenos Aires, and in different cities around Switzerland, Germany, France, Holland.
    I was also part of several orchestras (Jazz, Tango, and Rock) in Argentina and the US.

    I teach beginner - intermediate - advanced levels of different topics:
    - how to improve technique (right hand and left hand)
    - how to improvise (elements of improvisation, vocabulary, phrasing, etc.)
    - how to visualize the fretboard
    - how to learn songs by ear, and how to read music (or tab)
    - how harmony and music theory work
    - specific genres such as Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, Bossa Nova, Tango, Rock, and Fingerstyle.

    The lessons can be also in German (basic, so you might need a bit of patience with me!), Spanish (that's my mother tongue), or English. They can be at my place (Wedding), all corona safe, or online via Zoom/Skype.

    Shoot me a message if you are interested!
    All the best,
    Francisco

    About Me

    I always valued my teachers, and coming from a family of teachers, I have a passion for this.
    There are tons of people teaching online these days. So my aim is to be as personalized as I can, as truthful as it gets.

    I'm interested in having students who want to learn, or kids who have an interest in music and want to see if they like it more.

    Improve your musical creativity with personalised classes from multi-Instrumentalist singer and improviser
    Do you wish to learn writing music from scratch or improve your composition skills without a necessity of music theory knowledge? Do you want to produce your own music but struggle with the technical aspects? I'm a multi-instrumentalist singer, songwriter and performer and I offer applied classes on writing/arranging/producing pieces of music using various instruments of your choice, including your computer. I use a 'learning by creating' method, where we focus and go deeper on certain aspects depending on your needs on your music creation process. I like to use personalised methods that matches your desires, rather than following a certain curriculum. The goal is to help you gain or improve awareness on how a piece of music is written and learn various ways to begin and finalise a writing process. During our practices, I will naturally be transferring my knowledge on certain aspects such as: - Rhythm - Form - Dynamics - Texture - Melody making - Singing - Guitar playing - Placing words into music/making music around words - Improvisation as a compositional tool - Integration of Ableton Live into creative process - Recording - Mixing During the sessions, we'll either write together from scratch or work on your own material and tackle the issues of constructing a piece of music. Please contact me if interested, then we will have a first video call where we get to meet each other and discuss where you stand and your wishes. This way I can create a personalised program that suits your level and speaks to your area of interest.
