With over 20 years of teaching experience and my unique approach to learning, you will not only make the quickest progress possible but have a lot of fun on the way. • Are you an absolute beginner no idea where to start? • Are you finding that the books and DVDs don’t seem to help you progress? • Want to play that song you’ve had in your head? • Always wanted to play that Jimi Solo? • Got a guitar gathering dust but never got around to playing? • Stuck in a rut - Can’t stop playing the same old riffs? • Want to be able to play over the entire fretboard? • Want to know what scales fit with what chords and vice versa? • Music Theory - the hows and whys.

Conall - IslingtonC$80

C$80Guitar (Electric/Acoustic/Bass) of any genre or ability level

It might be easy to find an average guitar teacher, but genuine insight is much harder to come by - over the years, I've seen it all, and I want to use my experience to help you! ABOUT ME I am a friendly, solid, inspiring, patient, real-world music teacher, with over a decade's experience as a working, touring, studying, writing, teaching, musician! APPROACH Creating a nice atmosphere is really important to me. I'd love to know more about your goals and what excites you - your dreams might be as big as building a career in music, or as small as being able to perform a few songs to no-one but yourself and your cat. Anything and everything in between is totally valid and worth exploring! THINGS I CAN HELP WITH - How to get the most from music, whether that be through following a grade system, or just learning how to play the music you love. - Getting to that "next level" of guitar playing, wherever you are at the moment - Organising the fretboard, rhythm, inspiration, what to practice (at any level) - Providing helpful real-world context for the things you might be learning at school/college/university/YouTube - Songwriting/Arranging/Production, from very first steps to advanced concepts - Blocks/worries you might have about any aspect of music, or a kind of music coaching role (I'm not a licensed therapist but I'm here for it!) FIRST LESSON This would be an introductory session, where we get a feel for each other and what your aims are. By having a chat, I find that "what we should work on" flows pretty naturally from this, and we'd be able to set out a rough syllabus of what we would work on for the next while. FURTHER INFO/EXPERIENCE - Professional musician for over a decade, most notably touring as a guitarist with US Artists Theo Katzman and May Erlewine, as well as a Fleetwood Mac tribute show. - Taught 1-on-1 and ensemble lessons both privately and in schools, with a wiiiiide range of ability levels. - I produce and release my own original music with 17k monthly listeners. - Have worked as a session guitarist on a huge variety of genres (I can help you with pretty much any kind of music you can think of, but I'll be open and upfront with you if I feel my expertise doesn't match what you want. I'll be sorry to disappoint you that my, say, Bulgarian Folk knowledge isn't too hot...) - Have composed/arranged music for national TV ad campaigns (TUI, Redbull and Vodafone IE)

Daniel - IslingtonC$70

C$70Music/Audio Production & Guitar Performance & Music Theory

I currently offer teaching and mentoring in the following areas: - Music/Audio Production - Guitar Performance - Music Theory My methods are generally adapted to each individual’s needs and objectives, however, they do not include classical music training approaches, such as sight reading or formal classical music training. Instead, my approach focuses on developing an intuitive understanding of music, through understanding elements such as intervalic structures, mathematical permutations, analogies derived from other disciplines etc. The ultimate goal of my approach is to allow the individual to form a way of thinking, which will allow she/he to compose, produce or play ANY type of music.

Leandro - Amsterdam, NetherlandsRecently activeC$60

C$60Flamenco, Modern, and Classical guitar lessons - professional musician with over 20 years of teaching experience. Effective method.

Trusted teacher: PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST, COMPOSER, MUSIC AND GUITAR TEACHER Beginner-Advanced Level Experience: I am a professional musician and have been teaching students of all ages for over 20 years. My experience as a teacher and my pursuit of self-improvement as a musician have led me to develop an effective method that I have already tested with over a hundred students. Throughout my career I had the satisfaction of studying with great masters of different specialties or styles, each one emphasizing different aspects of flamenco, classical or modern guitar and each one has given me their approach (technique, rhythms, accompaniment, harmony, etc.), which has led me after years of study and compilation to take the best from each one to develop my method. My role in my classes is more that of a personal trainer than a teacher, where I will be very attentive to bringing out the best in my students, finding the right technique to help them develop a good rhythm, working on their rhythm, etc. For me, the role of a teacher, in addition to teaching, is to be part of a team, to maintain morale and constantly improve oneself while always maintaining a love for music. Methodology: I tailor the lessons to the student's level, style, or goals. Generally, the first half of the lesson is dedicated to technique, focusing on proper placement, execution, and relaxation, which will result in a good sound. Over time, I've realized that it's also a way to connect with the guitar, concentrate, and warm up. So, little by little, we'll develop our routine, which will begin by working on basic rhythmic aspects. The second half is dedicated to playing, trying to put into practice what we learned about the technique with the sticks or studying other concerns of the student, which may be a theme, harmony, falsetas, improvisation, or even other styles, etc., always obviously taking into account the search or interest of the student. FLAMENCO - Flamenco technique - Palos (Tangos, Bulerías, Alegrías, Soleá, Taranta...) - Accompaniment to singing and dancing - Clapping and rhythms MODERN GUITAR - Harmony - Improvisation - Repertoire (rumbas, pop, jazz, rock, etc.) CLASSIC - Reading, solfège and interpretation. - Works - I work with progressive learning books

Music Made Easy: Piano, Guitar, Bass & Ukulele for Everyone! (Quezon City)

Mary

Mary has been great in our interactions. At the moment, we are meeting twice a week for an hour each session. She started with a class in which we got to know each other and she listen to my goals. Then, she prepared exercises and lessons specially designed to help me reach those goals with practice and also prepared lessons to help me continue growing as a guitar player. Moreover, she goes often out of her way to get songs challenging to my level, but that are doable with enough practice. In all, I am enjoying quite a lot of our classes and I am always looking forward to them.

I highly recommend Elias to anyone who wants to learn classical guitar the right way. He genuinely cares about his students progress and focuses on building a strong foundation from the start. He pays close attention to proper technique and makes sure everything is learned correctly. He is patient, attentive, and adapts his teaching to each student’s needs. He also creates a supportive and encouraging environment, which makes learning enjoyable and motivating. If you’re looking for a teacher who truly invests in your growth, he is an excellent choice.
