Musikunterricht – Harmonie, Improvisation & Gehörbildung

Für wen ist der Unterricht geeignet?

Für Musiker:innen auf Mittelstufen- oder fortgeschrittenem Niveau, die über Muster und Automatismen hinausgehen und wirklich verstehen möchten, was sie spielen.

Arbeitsweise:

• Ausgangspunkt sind stets konkrete musikalische Situationen (Spielen, Hören, Improvisieren).

• Harmonie wird über Funktionen, Spannungen, modale Systeme, modalen Austausch und Alterationen erschlossen.

• Theorie dient als praktisches Werkzeug und nicht als abstraktes Regelwerk.

• Gehörbildung ist unmittelbar in die musikalische Praxis integriert.

• Improvisation wird als harmonisches Denken in Aktion verstanden, mit direkter Anwendung auch auf die Komposition.

Ansatz:

Mein musikalischer Weg, geprägt durch intensives Hören, Komposition und vertieftes Selbststudium der Harmonielehre, spiegelt sich in einem Unterricht wider, der die Distanz zwischen Theorie und Praxis verringern und musikalische Eigenständigkeit fördern möchte.

Jeder Lernweg ist individuell gestaltet; ich arbeite nicht mit standardisierten Programmen.

Notenlesen steht nicht im Mittelpunkt – der Fokus liegt vor allem auf Hören und funktionalem Verständnis.

Der Unterricht findet in Präsenz in Berlin statt.
Keine Online-Stunden und kein Hausunterricht.
Sprachen: Englisch / Deutsch / Italienisch.


English:

Music Lessons – Harmony, Improvisation & Ear Training

Who the lessons are for:

Intermediate and advanced musicians who want to move beyond patterns and automatisms and truly understand what they are playing.

How I work:

• We always start from concrete musical situations (playing, listening, improvising).

• Harmony is explored through functions, tensions, modal systems, modal interchange and alterations.

• Theory is treated as a practical tool, not as an abstract set of rules.

• Ear training is fully integrated into the practice.

• Improvisation is approached as harmonic thinking in action, with direct application to composition.

Approach:

My path, shaped through listening, composition and in-depth harmonic study, is reflected in a method that aims to reduce the distance between theory and practice while developing musical autonomy.

Each learning path is personalized; I do not follow standardized programs.
Musical notation is not central — the focus lies primarily on listening and functional understanding.

Lessons take place in person in Berlin.
No online lessons and no home visits.
Languages: English / German / Italian.

Acerca de mí
Ich bin Musiker und Musiklehrer in Berlin tätig.
Ich bin Gitarrist, Komponist und Improvisator mit über 25 Jahren musikalischer Erfahrung, die ich als Songwriter, Bandleader und Performer gesammelt habe.

Meine didaktische Arbeit entsteht aus dem Bedürfnis, die Lücke zwischen Musiktheorie und musikalischer Praxis zu schließen, wobei Hören, Wahrnehmung und das funktionale Verständnis musikalischer Zusammenhänge im Mittelpunkt stehen.


English:

I am a musician and music teacher based in Berlin.
I am a guitarist, composer and improviser with over 25 years of musical experience, gained as a songwriter, band leader and performer.

My teaching practice is driven by the need to bridge the gap between music theory and real musical practice, placing listening, perception and the functional understanding of musical mechanisms at the center.
Formación
Mein musikalischer Weg entwickelte sich autodidaktisch durch Hören, Komposition und Improvisation und wurde durch jahrelanges selbstständiges Studium von Harmonie und improvisatorischen Prozessen ergänzt, mit besonderem Fokus auf die systematische Erforschung von Modi und Alterationen.


English:

My musical path developed through a self-taught approach grounded in listening, composition and improvisation, supported by many years of independent study of harmony and improvisational processes, with a particular focus on the systematic exploration of modes and alterations.
Experiencia / Calificaciones
Parallel zu meiner künstlerischen Tätigkeit absolvierte ich eine musikpädagogische Ausbildung und arbeite als Lehrer mit Einzelpersonen sowie Gruppen.

Jadenir
After successfully completing his music studies (Music Bachelor), he won a grant from the Brazilian government and emigrated to the Netherlands to take up postgraduate studies at the Rotterdam Conservatory with Prof. Vladimir Mendelssohn. He received his Masters in Solo Performance and Chamber Music with Honors. His diverse musical activities have taken him - both as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher - on concert tours to Brazil, Portugal, France, Germany, Austria, Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia.
Jadenir lived in Vienna from 2007 to 2016. There he performed between 2005 and 2010 as principal violist of the “Spirit of Europe” chamber orchestra, in which he was also a member of the artistic advisory board and was involved in planning-relevant decisions on artistic and organizational issues. He also played in the RSO Vienna and the Ambassade Orchestra Vienna.
Jadenir has lived and worked in Berlin since 2016. With chamber music as the center of his life, he founded several ensembles with different line-ups in 2017. In addition to his artistic activity, viola lessons have been an important part of his life for many years. As a viola teacher, he has been in close contact with music festivals and music schools since 2007, especially those that are dedicated to social projects.

About my viola lessons

I offer dynamic and playful lessons. The goal of my lessons is to break the barrier between music and technology, so these are not taught separately from each other. Rather, I see technology as the merging of movement, breathing and sound.
Beginners and advanced learners of all ages from 10 years are welcome. I convey all kinds of music, their style and technique. I am happy to help advanced students prepare for entrance exams, auditions, auditions and competitions. I also offer coaching for chamber music ensembles.
The key to successful viola lessons lies in a transparent and open exchange: I therefore encourage the students to share their needs and expectations; and the family is also involved in their musical development.
My two main instruments were made especially for me and I was able to exchange ideas with the violin makers during the instrument making, which gave me extensive knowledge of the manufacture, setup and care of a string instrument. I am also happy to pass on my knowledge to my students in this area. Because with the growing understanding of the acoustics of the viola, one's own playing technique and trust in the instrument develop.
English, Portuguese, Spanish or Italian are also possible as the language of instruction.

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
