Guitar/Bass/Ukulele Lessons! Over 15 years of teaching experience

Von 31.62 $ /Std

My main teaching philosophy is to teach students to play the music they enjoy. It sounds like a no-brainer but I have had teachers in the past who only showed me songs that they enjoyed or used method books that teach you "Mary Had A Little Lamb" or "Hot Crossed Buns" (and if you like those songs then we can learn those). All that to say, whatever the student's goal on the instrument, I will take them step by step until they reach it.

For a beginning musician, the fundamentals of the instrument are given the highest priority: how to tune your instrument, names of all the notes, essential chords, basic strumming, playing in time, and understanding basic rhythm. For someone who already plays but needs a little help getting out of the rut, we'll spend time fixing bad technical habits, hammering home the fundamentals, expanding their repertoire, and slowly moving outside of the comfort zone to new horizons. With advanced players, listening (ear training), transcribing, song analysis, exploring advanced theory concepts, and focusing on composition and improvisation are most important.

With all levels of students, I make playlists that I update after each lesson so they can hear real examples of what we are covering, as well as provide detailed written notes in TAB and standard notation so they can refer to everything we covered and know what to practice. Also, it's fun!

Über mich

I began playing electric guitar in my early teens inspired by the pop-punk music of the time which I quickly dropped once I heard Jimi Hendrix. Soon I was playing poor covers of classic rock tunes with some buddies of mine, but we eventually got a little bit better and wrote a few of our own tunes and made it into a Battle Of The Bands and were even featured at an international music festival!

After high school, I went onto study classical guitar and composition. In my university days, I had a very inspiring, multi-genre teacher who taught me jazz and improvisation, and was able to play in the university Big Band until I graduated. Along with classical recitals, I also performed with my jazz quartet (and sometimes octet depending on who was around) at bars, weddings, corporate functions, banquets and pretty much any gig we could get.

After graduating I moved to Montréal and began to focus more on writing and recording original music. I played with a few different groups (even a gypsy/klezmer band), backed singer-songwriters, and even played the odd jazz gig on bass. My band of several years have released two EPs, a slew of singles, and are expecting to put out a full album in 2022. Currently I am living in Berlin, Germany and involved with several exciting projets.

P.S. For most of this time I have also worked as a guitar and bass transcriber for a few popular music learning websites and several prominent Youtube guitar channels which has exposed me to many styles and playing techniques, so whatever style you are into, I can teach it!

Bildung

I received a Bachelor of Music degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. There I studied classical guitar, jazz improvisation, composition, advanced music theory and orchestration.

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen

15 years of teaching experience, a degree in classical and jazz performance, years of on-stage and in-studio performance, and have composed many songs.

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

In my 45-year career as a musician (guitarist, singer, and composer) I have always seen how music enriches our lives. In this sense, I am motivated to positively influence people around me through music and to get them to actively participate. Of course, I am interested in introducing children and young people to music. It is very exciting for me to witness how you have your first contact with tones and instruments.

With me, you get a seasoned musician with a sense of mission and empathy for the "future" musicians

Hello, I'm Shanice, 23 years old and I studied jazz / pop at the HfMT. I offer bass lessons for beginners and advanced players of all ages.

I am stylistically very flexible because of my work in various bands. I play for Kat Frankie, Sookee and Marla Glen and shared the stage with acts like Akua Naru, KLAN, Alli Neumann and Fil Bo Riva. I also made a studio recording for Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson's guitarist).

My core competency is teaching groove and timing across genres of pop, rock, jazz, funk and especially hip hop (swagtime, in-between timing).
We are also happy to talk about ear training and harmony, as well as synth bass and VST synth programming and music production.
In addition, I also offer band coaching (as soon as it is possible again).

If you are interested in a free trial lesson (30min), I would be very happy to hear from you.

For those who do not have time for lessons every week, there is also the option of purchasing a single lesson or tickets for 5 or 10 courses.

Best regards,

Shanice

Hi,
I'm Chris, 33 years old and would be happy to explore the guitar with you.
I completed my Bachelor of Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Mannheim and mainly play jazz, funk, blues, rock and samba/bossa nova.
When teaching, on the one hand it is very important to me to respond to your wishes and musical goals and on the other hand to convey instrumental-specific basics.
And all in a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of space for trying things out and having fun with the music, because that's what making music is all about!

I’m a professional musician with over 20 years of experience, having been trained at the Escuela de Música Contemporánea in Buenos Aires and holding a Master's degree in Creative Production from Berlin. I offer guitar and ukulele lessons tailored to your musical taste and goals.

I offer personalized guitar and ukulele lessons for all ages, designed to help students truly connect with their instrument. My approach is based on learning repertoire that the student genuinely enjoys, while developing strong technique and music theory in a practical and musical way.

A key element of my teaching is improvisation, as it allows students to connect immediately with the language of music, build confidence, and express themselves freely from the very beginning.

I also incorporate breathing exercises into my lessons to help students relax, improve focus, and develop a deeper physical and musical connection with their instrument.

In addition to instrumental lessons, I offer early music education for children aged 3 to 5, focusing on musical initiation through rhythm, listening, movement, and play in a fun and nurturing environment.

Lessons are available in Spanish, English, French, and German, and are always adapted to each student’s age, level, goals, and musical interests.

🔹 Format: Online or in-person
🔹 Lesson type: Individual or group classes
🔹 All ages and skill levels welcome

My approach is warm, flexible, and student-centered: you’ll learn at your own pace, with lessons designed just for you — and most importantly, you'll enjoy the process.
