Professional guitar lessons for begginers, intermediate and advanced players. Cracov/Online

Professional guitar lessons for begginers, intermediate and advanced players. Cracov/Online

Hello, My name is Michał, I’m 24 years old, and for the past several years I’ve been teaching guitar lessons. I started playing guitar myself as a child, and ever since then I’ve been developing my skills every day—because this is truly my biggest and most important passion. This offer is for anyone who either wants to see if guitar is right for them or already has some skills but isn’t sure which direction to take next to improve. I understand that the guitar is a vast and complex subject, which is why I approach each student individually—everyone has their own preferences and pace of learning. ---------------🎸 For beginners--------------------------- I’ll gladly introduce you to the world of guitar by starting with actual music—simple but impressive songs that sound great without requiring years of practice. (Yes, guitar can be tough at first, but trust me—it’s nothing to fear 😉.) ------------🎸 For those with some experience---- We jump right in. 😎 Besides working on songs you choose, we also explore more advanced and exciting topics like: -------------🎶 Music theory-------------------------------- I explain music theory in a clear and simple way, using examples from around the world and across genres. Most importantly, I focus on understanding the concepts—not just memorizing dry patterns—so you can apply them naturally and quickly. -----------✍️ Composing your own songs------- We combine theory with creativity to write complete pieces from scratch. We’ll shape the mood, structure, and arrangement to bring out the best in your ideas. -----------🎸 Improvisation------------------------------ This is my personal favorite. We use all the knowledge you’ve gained to jam together, creating spontaneous music and learning the most in the process—while having fun at the same time! ----------------💡 Creative guitar techniques------- Starting from the easiest tricks, I’ll show you how to spice up your playing and develop your own personal style. 🎯 In my lessons, the most important things are: a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, creativity and growth in many areas of musicianship. As a self-taught musician, I often use non-traditional teaching methods, so your progress will feel natural—and you’ll be learning by playing what you actually enjoy, rather than doing dry exercises for an hour straight. Bonus: I also have experience and certification as a recording technician, so if you're interested, we can record your playing during lessons, and I’ll help you learn about: working with DAWs, mixing and mastering, and how to record your own music at home. 📍 Location: Lessons take place at my home studio in Kraków (Prądnik Biały). I also offer online lessons (Messenger/Zoom/ETC) I do not tend to update the availabity of the spare hours, so feel free to ask :)

MAO on Ableton & Reaper: from the first note to the final mix: creative, technical and tailor-made coaching

MAO on Ableton & Reaper: from the first note to the final mix: creative, technical and tailor-made coaching

Do you want to learn how to compose, mix or finalize your tracks with real sound? Are you looking for someone who can explain things clearly, listen to you, encourage you and help you move forward without going around in circles? Welcome. My name is Tom and for 10 years I have been helping artists and enthusiasts create their music, better use their tools (Ableton, Reaper, Logic, etc.) and, above all, find their own sound. · A clear, personalized method, at your own pace · Solid foundations if you are a beginner (handling, composition, arrangements, etc.) · Mixing and mastering courses · Tools to unlock your creativity · And an artistic eye to help you achieve your vision Whether you are a complete beginner, with no knowledge of computer music or music, I will guide you step by step so that you quickly feel comfortable with the tools and can create your first pieces. If you're self-taught, you may have already accumulated a lot of knowledge, but in a somewhat disorganized way: together, we'll structure all of that, clarify your basics and solidify your approach. And if you are an artist already on the path, with projects or a vision under construction, I help you refine your universe, professionalize your sound, and go further in your artistic direction.

Experimental electronic music composition / Free improvisation (theory & practice)

Experimental electronic music composition / Free improvisation (theory & practice)

Experimentation is an inherent characteristic of electronic music. Nowadays, composing music using technology creates endless creative possibilities that demand the musician/composer to adapt to numerous technical and artistic challenges. Do you like experimenting with sound and making music that does not clearly belong to a particular genre or style? Interested in bringing a fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking to your music production? Are you just starting out in electronic music composition and wondering how to develop your own style? This course is just what you need. In this class, you will learn: - how to transform sound using analogue and digital techniques. - how to create sound structures and organise them in a DAW enviroment to compose a piece of music. - how to record, edit and mix sounds using both conventional and experimental techniques. - how to use improvisation in both the context of live performance and composition. - about the theory and practice of free improvisation. - about the history and origins of electronic music and how it affected the music we listen today. - how to document and communicate procedures related to your artistic practice. - how to create an artistic portfolio. Aspiring musicians with a background in any genre can take advantage of this course. A formal education in music or experience with electronic music composition are not required to follow. However, you should be unafraid of experimenting with sound and music technology! Each class is customized to meet the needs of the individual student in an innovative and flexible way! The course can also serve as a preparation for applying to several Dutch educational programmes related to electronic music composition (Institute of Sonology, HKU, ArtEZ, etc.). The class is focused on small assignments that help the student develop a sense of orientation and set goals. Recording, editing, and mixing will be done via the DAW "Reaper," but we can switch to your preferred software at any time. We will use the first lesson to discuss your background, interests, and motivations in order to develop a course structure that is tailored to your needs.

Piano lessons according to the principle: the best and fastest way to Rome!

Piano lessons according to the principle: the best and fastest way to Rome!

Do you want to teach (electric) piano, keyboard or synthesizer? Then you have come to the right place! Gosse (1989) has been giving piano lessons for more than 10 years and we are proud to announce that almost all students who start the lessons actually continue. The lessons are primarily focused on fun and development. He knows from experience that the most important ingredients for learning to play the piano as effectively as possible are: 1: The pleasure of playing The fun is increased by learning to play numbers that the student experiences as beautiful or fun and that bring the right degree of challenge. Gosse mainly specializes in Pop, Soul, R&B, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, Bossa-nova, Latin and Light classical styles. Learn to play your favorite songs! 2: Learning in the way that best suits the student There are three different ways in which someone can learn to play the piano: sheet music, by ear and (the relatively new way) through software programs such as Synthesia. The correct method differs from person to person. 3: Knowing the music theory / shortcuts The three ways you can learn to play the piano described above help you press the right keys at the right time. But it can be easier. Namely by knowing the underlying music theory and / or the shortcuts! Gosse also teaches music production (songwriting and producing). He is most specialized in the Logic Pro and Ableton studio programs. He also helps vocalists who want to accompany themselves on the piano. Feel free to contact us for a trial lesson, for a more detailed version of the above 3 points or if you want to know more!

“ We just have started to work with Yannis, but I am really happy about how we progress and feel inspired and looking forward to future lectures. Yannis teaches me to develop a vision on how to approach working with sound, while recording, processing and using it in electronic composition. I would say he is opening my mind in a way toward the analysing a character of sound as a compositional element. I like that lessons are not only just about a particular technique (and there are so many to learn from Yannis), but about developing a workflow and a mindset. Examples from historical electronic pieces to listen and analyse from legendary electroacoustic composers are really inspirational. After each lesson there is a home task and in the following lecture there is an analysis of the results and based on that Yannis gives lessons on what needs to be changed, improved, pay attention to etc, in order to develop compositional skills. I highly recommend Yannis as a teacher, if you are into modern experimental electroacoustic composition and improvisation. ”

“ I enjoy our lessons with Guido - he is a knowledgeable musician and a great teacher. He strikes a perfect balance between the student's comfort zone and the steps toward future growth, allowing you to learn slightly beyond it while still feeling ‘safe’. Appreciate his attention to various small details and the different examples he provides when a musical concept is difficult to understand. These are things that are hard to grasp and then fix on your own, and that’s the true beauty of in-person lessons. I wholeheartedly recommend him 🤌 ”

“ First lesson went of quite well considering that I'm a novice, but with help from Nuno who is a very patient and pleasant guy i do feel a bit more confident. He explains it in a simple format giving you the time to understand what you are actually trying to play. I look forward to my next session ”
