Hello (future) musician!
Do you also have a song in your head that you would like to play?
Always wanted to play electric or acoustic guitar or bass guitar?
Have you never touched a string, or are you advanced and looking for new challenges?

I have been giving guitar lessons since 2007 with great pleasure. In addition to these private lessons, I worked at the Guitar Academy in Amsterdam, at Muziekles Den Bosch and at Art in Music in Utrecht, next to my work as an executive musician. I studied at the Rockacademie in Tilburg and Musicology at Utrecht University. Broad interests, reflected in the hoevelheid styles I play and education (from pop and rock to salsa, tango and gypsy to metal and jazz). I also give solfège and music theory.
It does not matter how exotic your interest, I can help you get better! In addition, I can choose and arrange songs for you, so that there is no limit to your imagination: learn to play what you want to learn to play.

These lessons are not given in a large, impersonal music school: lesson duration and lesson dates are discussed and are flexible. Personal and smooth, easier for everyone. Besides guitar enthusiast teaching is a big passion of mine, and I think that is essential to be able to offer good lessons. Whether I teach you how to play your first songs in a few lessons, or whether we are going to pick up some tough pieces, it is a pleasant and productive learning process. Lessons in Wittevrouwen, Utrecht or at extra cost at home. If you have questions, mail or call!

I am a Canadian classical guitarist and guitar instructor offering lessons in either English or Dutch. I am primarily educated and professionally active in classical guitar, but I teach in a variety of styles and genres. Every student has different goals, backgrounds, and abilities, so I teach each student with a custom-made approach. I work to help students develop strong guitar technique, musical knowledge, and literacy, and to be able to achieve their own goals with whatever music they want to learn and play.

I have years of teaching experience, both in Canada and the Netherlands, so I am comfortable working with students of different ages and levels. I hold a bachelor of music degree and a master of music degree from the University of British Columbia. I am currently pursuing a second master's in guitar performance at Conservatorium Maastricht.

I can teach in-home lessons or lessons at my studio, the price will vary depending on location, please contact me for exact pricing.

Lessons will be flexible and based around what the student wants to learn. The duty is to prevent notorious bad habits from being unknowingly learned, common when people don't have a tutor. I encourage students to break the rules of music theory to carve their own path while sticking to a strict practice routine to build technique and drive forward progress in their ability. Classes can be focused on electric guitar of all styles or acoustic classical guitar. I am an experienced guitarist of the last 18 years, touring many countries of Europe with a band and tutoring students from beginner to intermediate. I take great pride in seeing progress in my students and look forward to seeing it in you.

I love teaching guitar, and I am good at it. Learning music is similar to learning a language. We learn by imitating the sounds that we hear. During this stage, I also incorporate proper technique; how the instrument should be held and how the strings should be strummed or plucked. Once the sound is adequately imitated, we look at influences and start developing vocabulary. Finally, I want to ensure the student can replicate these precise sounds. I do this by teaching the theory and reasoning behind the vocabulary.

Music and guitar is my passion. I love to share my passion with anyone wanting to learn. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

Learning guitar is a great way to connect with music — whether you want to go all in with it, or just looking to set aside a little time each week to do something creative. A good teacher helps make the process smoother and more enjoyable, and that’s what I aim to offer.
I’ve taught kids, teenagers, and adults, and I tailor lessons to each student. We’ll start with the music you enjoy listening to, and use that as a foundation to learn the fundamentals, develop your sound, and build your skills — all while playing songs you actually like. In my experience, this approach keeps lessons interesting and helps things click more naturally.
Whether you're a total beginner or you're at whatever stage in your musical growth, feel free to reach out.
Let’s play some guitar together!

PS: Ik heb niveau B1 in Nederlands en geef al les op een muziekschool; dus we kunnen ook les in het Nederlands krijgen als je wilt! Ik ben niet geweldig, maar ik word elke dag beter :)

Hi,

My name is Sotiris and I’m a guitarist from Athens, Greece. I discovered my passion for the guitar at the age of seven it all started when I first heard Led Zeppelin.That sound pulled me into the world of guitar and soon led me to the blues, where my musical journey truly began.Over the years, I’ve explored many styles, from electric blues, jazz, rock, and pop to acoustic fingerstyle solo guitar.

I studied Jazz and Pop Guitar at the HKU Utrechts Conservatorium,where I deepened my understanding of both performance and teaching.I’m currently offering electric and acoustic guitar lessons,as well as music theory. Each student learns differently, so I always adapt my lessons to fit their individual goals, taste, and pace. My aim is to help students grow as musicians, discover their own sound, and enjoy every step of the learning process.

Now based in Utrecht, I’m active as both a performer and teacher, constantly inspired by the connection between creativity, expression, and learning.

My teaching covers a broad range of elements, from jazz, blues, pop, and rock on electric guitar to fingerstyle, blues, folk, pop, and different tunings on acoustic guitar. I teach all levels:from beginners taking their first steps to advanced players looking to explore creative approaches and develop their own musical voice. Having played in bands and studied at the HKU Conservatorium, I enjoy sharing both practical experience and musical ideas with my students.
For me, teaching is more than just sharing skills it’s about creating a friendly, inspiring environment where students can have fun, explore, and grow at their own pace. Whether you want to learn songs, improve technique, try improvisation, or experiment with sound, I’m here to help you reach your musical goals.
