Trusted teacher: 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 :)

Trusted teacher: I have been immersed in music, and particularly the piano, for over 40 years. I was trained by concert professors, who were themselves trained by the greatest (my own professor's piano teacher was taught by Alfred Cortot). I learned music theory at the Conservatoire and harmony and counterpoint at the HEM in Geneva. At the same time, I have a Bachelor's degree in Musicology from the Université des Lettres de Genève. This allows me not only to teach the essential basics of music to students, but also to place each style and each composer in its historical context. This greatly facilitates learning. I teach all types of music, from classical to modern pop, including film music and more recent composers like Ludovico Einaudi. My goal is to give the student a good harmonic foundation and a good musical ear so that they can be independent in what they want to play and always have the pleasure of sitting down at the piano! My classes are aimed at beginners of all ages (children or adults) with no musical knowledge, as well as advanced students or those who want to prepare for theoretical or practical exams. The scores will always be chosen in agreement with the student, according to their objectives and desired progress, mixing all musical styles (classical, pop, film music, etc.) so that they always have fun playing their instrument. Each student is unique, which is why each lesson is prepared individually to meet their aspirations or objectives. It is very important to me that the course takes place in a kind and sharing atmosphere, with discussion. For children, I can conduct regular interviews with parents in person or by phone (after each lesson if necessary) to report on the progress made and the achievement of desired objectives. I am very flexible regarding the wishes of each student and therefore adapt easily to any situation. The strong points of the lessons: • In all styles (classical, contemporary, modern hits, film music) • All levels, courses in French • Possibility of courses or additional courses in English or Russian if necessary • All ages (for children under 6 years old, lessons of 15-20 minutes maximum with adapted price) • Organization of recitals in the presence of parents and the public in a friendly atmosphere • Kindness • Adaptation to each student, definition of objectives individually • The student can choose certain pieces that he would like to play • Improvisation: learning improvisation techniques so that the student can play pieces on the piano naturally and without sheet music. • For children: regular interviews with parents in person or by telephone (after each lesson if necessary) to report on progress made and achievement of desired objectives • Discount from the 2nd student per family • Listening to each student • Always in kindness and benevolence • Theory and practice are taught in parallel so that the student always enjoys everything they do. Possibility of taking the two separately (either piano or music theory) • Share my passion for music • Patience • Piano 4 hands • Canton of Geneva – free travel

Trusted teacher: Do you or your child want to broaden your musical horizons? Learn how to integrate technology into your music learning? Want to know how to turn a song idea into an audio file professionally? Maybe just introduce you to music in general? Or deepen your knowledge of computer composition? YOU'VE COME TO THE RIGHT PLACE! ☺♫ What I offer: → Complete training in DAW software (Ableton Live and others!) → In-depth exploration of electronic instruments (synthesizers, MIDI controllers) → Instrumental recording techniques and construction of audio models → Hearing training and awareness of the different characteristics of sound (timbre, pitch, audio effects) → Experimental sound creation and sound design (eg: reproducing the roar of the T-REX) → Introduction to music theory and composition → Support and coaching for your musical project → What you think is relevant to your journey!

Also, the accessibility of software today allows anyone with an artistic intention to be able to exploit it and offer it to the general public. ¤ Computer access is ideal for taking classes, but I am open to discussing alternative options! ¤

Trusted teacher: I am a 32-year old guitarist, songwriter and composer based in Den Haag, songwriting, composition, electric and acoustic guitar, in combination with music theory. I teach in English or in Greek. I am half Greek and half Scottish and I have been living in the Netherlands for the last 4 years. I offer lessons in all styles, to all age groups, and for any experience level (ranging from students who have never written a song before, up to experienced songwriters who are looking for fresh ideas and improving their skills to really make their songs shine). Face to face lessons are preferable, but I also teach online. I am a patient and open minded teacher, and my desire is to help you learn what you want to learn, and make sure you enjoy and take pride in your songs, learn to express your musical ideas as best as possible and nurture your curiosity and excitement about the world of music creation ! My Credentials: I hold a Bachelors of Music degree from Birmingham Conservatoire (UK), and a Masters of Music from The Hague Royal Conservatory. My experience as a songwriter and composer ranges from writing songs and singing in indie / off-beat rock bands, solo guitar and vocal performances, home-production of my own songs, creation of instrumental post-rock music, collaborative songwriting in bands, composition of works for classical players, creation of ambient, experimental and electronic music, creation of music for film, and I even some experience in beat-making. I have written songs, I have written orchestra pieces, I have worked as a DIY home producer, I have released albums, and I've performed in concert halls, rock venues, squats and festivals. I My music has been performed in and has taken me to several countries, including Portugal, The Czech Republic, The U.S.A., Canada, Korea, Greece, The U.K., The Netherlands. My Teaching style: My emphasis is to teach you based on your interests and your needs. The lessons are based around each individual student. You bring me the music you are creating and the skills you want to develop as a songwriter, and I build my lessons around that. My primary goal is help you develop your voice as a songwriter, so the starting point for our lessons will always be your music, and then I build our lessons around that. My aim is always to help you find what the heart of the song is about, and help you to bring this out and really make it shine. To help illustrate ideas about topics we discuss I will bring examples that can help inform the music you are creating, we will explore ideas of arrangement, orchestration, band leading and / or production to help flesh out your songs, and we will explore music theory too when that is helpful for us and / or if that is interesting to you. For more experienced songwriters we can explore how to write parts for other players, how to notate and orchestrate songs for acoustic instruments, how to record songs, or how to get the best playing out of your bandmates to help your song shine

Alan is a great teacher and super nice guy. He pay extra attention to your problems with piano and try to fix them using smart and innovative methods. I like the fact that he sometimes doesn't stick to the 60 mins and ask to extend it if he feels something is missing or incomplete. I already had 7 lessons with him and looking for more. Highly recommended.
