About Me

I have been teaching the guitar since 2016 to students of all ages and levels. I am really passionate in transmitting all the knowledge I have acquired over the years and making the students love music as much as I do.
I have studied the guitar next to Michalis Kontaxakis and Antonis Hatzinikolaou, two of Greece's most acclaimed performers. I have also traveled the world to take classes with a lot of the most notable guitarists of our time (e.g. Zoran Dukić, Hubert Käppel, etc).
Studying Musicology at the University of Athens gave me a lot of insight into the deepest meanings in the musical works and gave me strong grounding in the different musical styles of western music. This knowledge is valuable to be able to appreciate music in its entirety and I am always eager to transmit that to my students.

My name is Panagiotis and I am a guitar teacher/player. I have two bachelor degrees: Classical Guitar (Philippos Nakas Conservatory), Jazz&Pop Guitar (HKU Utrecht Conservatory). I have been teaching in music schools and giving individual lessons for the last 14 years. In 2017 I moved to Utrecht to continue my studies in jazz guitar at the Utrecht Conservatory and explore the Dutch music scene.I teach electric, acoustic, classical guitar and music theory. Besides the basic technique and theory knowledge, which Ι make sure to provide to each of my students , I individually prepare their study line, according to their taste and abilities. My goal is to help my students to find their own musicality and reveal their inner voice by giving them the most appropriate tools. Besides teaching I have two bands which I give lots of concerts with , at several venues and festivals.

I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

Learn to enjoy music together while playing cello with me!

- I help to prepare for music/cello exams towards Music Academies as well as I assist students with practicing.

- I work with beginners, helping them with the basics of cello techinque together with basic music theory

- One of my methods while teaching is to play together with a student as much as possible to teach them the art of chamber music but also good communication skills while practicing together.

- I combine different methods depending on the student's needs (and technical level)

- as a professional cellist with an educational studies background I implement different psychological ideas including observational learning, ideas of Piaget and Vygotsky, and others

- I use the background in Feldenkrais technique lessons in my own teaching

Feel the urge to spread your musical talents outside of the bathroom? Bored with watching Netflix and looking for a new hobby? Or do you want to become a professional, and need help preparing for auditions?

Good news! Coming December I will start giving individual singing lessons!

Who I am?
Hi! My name is Jobbe. Once upon a time, I was an aspiring academic, but longing for a more creative way to share my voice I started singing and quite I recently graduated form the Master of Music program direction Music Theatre. I know how arduous the artistic journey can be yet, we take it none the less, because we are all striving for this little moment of magic that arises when everything falls into place. For me, I saw this happening many times during a performance but also in coaching others and it gives me chills every time. And I would be honoured to help you pass on this little spark of magic to others!

As I am only just starting with these individual lessons for a limited time they are available.

From the technique and theory of singing to performative qualities and coaching, I can help! Together we can work to get your singing to the next level!

So feel free to send me a message and I hope to hear from you soon!

Wil je nu ook wel eens buiten de douche wil zingen? Zoek je een nieuwe hobby in deze tijden.
Wil je verder in het vak? Dat treft want ik heb tijden beschikbaar om zanglessen te geven.

Wie ben ik?
Ik ben Jobbe, aangenaam! Recent afgestudeerd aan het conservatorium in tilburg in een Master of Music richting muziek theater. Mijn eigen focus ligt op musical, klassiek en kleinkunst repertoire, maar ik kan ook op andere genres coachen.

Van techniek en theorie tot performance, alle facetten van het zangvak kan ik je bij helpen.
Samen kunnen we werken om je zangkunsten naar een nieuw niveau te tillen!

Dus schroom niet en stuur me vooral een berichtje! Hopelijk tot snel!

Hi, I’m Heewon from South Korea and I currently study music in HKU Conservatory.

For about 14 years I have studied various aspects of music, I’ve studied piano, vocals and composition, and now I am studying piano in the jazz and pop course. Not only have I played lots of jazz and pop, I have played lots of classical, neo-soul and gospel, to me it’s important to be well versed in lots of genre’s. How amazing is it to play the music that lives in your head?
Piano is by no means difficult, it make’s for a great hobby and is a wonderful stress reliever.
My class is open for people of all skill levels and is held in English or Korean.

Essential parts of my lessons are:

-Tailor-made lessons to suit your skill level and needs.
*For beginners we’ll go through basic piano skills, basic music theory and reading sheet music.
*If you're an intermediate, you'll be given a class that suits your level, needs and wishes.
(ex. How to improvise, how to accompaniment, how to arrange, etc.)
-I will provide my own materials and documents.

If you are interested or if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me!

I want to base my lessons on playing the guitar and related instruments in a way that feels mastered and personal.

I therefore want to focus on expression, technique and the aurally malleable nature of the instrument, for example by discussing extended techniques and the use of effect pedals. I want to invite the students to learn to listen carefully to the impact of different playing techniques and audio effects.

During the lessons I want to cover different kinds of music theory, especially in an "applied" way that is valuable to the student. I also want to deal with recording and producing my own work.

Owning your own effects pedals, a guitar amplifier or recording equipment is not required for this course.

Learn guitar with me! I'm an experienced educator and a musician that has struggled himself with learning music, and working on the field. We can work from any level that you might be and make music and guitar learning fun and interesting! As a working musician for many years I have experience in a lot of music genres and styles, so I think we can explore anything that you're interested in, in a very deep and detailed level!

Have you always wanted to learn to play guitar, but are unsure if it's right for you? Or are you a beginner looking to develop your skills? My lessons are perfectly tailored to your level and goals.

During the lessons, we'll work on a balanced combination of technique and music theory. We'll play songs together on the guitar, while simultaneously gaining insight into their musical structure.

Once you have developed sufficient basic knowledge, we can move on to writing your own music and exploring improvisation.

In addition, I have references from previous students, so you get a clear idea of my approach and teaching quality.
