Acoustic, Electric and Bass Guitar Lessons - Online and face to faceTranslate this text using Google Translate.

About the lesson My lessons are tailored to each student's skill level and goals, whether you're a beginner learning the basics or an experienced player looking to refine your skills. We’ll cover everything from essential techniques like strumming and fingerpicking to advanced topics such as soloing, music theory, and improvisation. For electric and bass guitar students, we’ll explore tone shaping, amplification, and various genres. My aim is to build your confidence through hands-on guidance and practice, ensuring that learning remains engaging and enjoyable. About me I’m a passionate musician with over 20 years of experience playing acoustic, electric, and bass guitar, and 15 years of teaching others to share my love for music. Growing up, I spent 8 years playing in a church band before heading to university. Although I went on to study engineering and then human resources, I continued teaching music — whether online or face-to-face. Have you ever listened to a song and wished you could just pick up a guitar and play along without checking the chords? My lessons will give you the tools to play by ear, enabling you to join in effortlessly and confidently without relying on chord charts. Whether you’re picking up the guitar for the first time or refining your technique, I offer a flexible and personalised approach to help you achieve your musical goals.

Guitar, music theory and ear training lessons with a professional session guitaristTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Hi there, I’ve been playing guitar since I was 12 and was immediately hooked. Within a year I started playing in youth bands and projects, and during high school I moved to a music school where I began performing with bands and teaching guitar to kids as my first job. I later completed two bachelor’s degrees, the second in jazz guitar, at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. Since then I’ve been working full time as a session guitarist, songwriter, and musical director with artists like Karsu, Alain Clark, Ruth Jacott, Jennie Lena, and many others, as well as releasing my own music as an independent artist under my stage name Jessy Hay. I’m extremely passionate about music theory, ear training, and music history, and I try to combine all of these with practical approaches to create a complete package for guitar enthusiasts. Over the years I’ve developed many methods and seen hundreds of students grow from being stuck on the instrument to becoming full-on improvisers and composers across many genres. I love to combine the theory and improvisation I’ve learned from jazz, together with the groove and rhythm from funk and soul, the attitude from rock, and the production and songwriting skills from pop music. I’m also very interested in Middle Eastern music, for students who want to explore other scales, Maqams, and musical languages. Lessons usually start by discussing the student’s goals and current level, followed by exercises and pieces tailored to their needs. I also provide guidance on instrument setup, tone, and technique, to ensure a solid foundation. My aim is to give students a full 360° view of music: understanding the language, knowing what you’re doing, and developing your own ways of improving by becoming more familiar with both the instrument and the musical language itself. If this sounds like something for you, I would love to hear from you.

My lessons are focused on building a solid foundation in jazz guitar while helping each student develop their own musical identity.

My goal is to provide not just information, but a structured method that helps you progress consistently, understand the music deeply, and enjoy the process of becoming a better jazz guitarist.

“ Alexandra has a solid musical background, is professional, motivated and pleasant as a teacher. She can guide the student improve their technique and musicality based on their needs and aims but also in a fun way. I would highly recommend her! Η Αλεξάνδρα έχει άρτια μουσική εκπαίδευση, είναι επαγγελματίας και ευχάριστη ως δασκάλα. Καθοδηγεί το μαθητή ώστε να βελτιώσει την τεχνική του και τη μουσική του αντίληψη και καλλιτεχνικότητα ανάλογα με τις ανάγκες και τους στόχους του. Το μάθημα όμως δεν είναι ποτέ βαρετό. Θα τη συνέστηνα ανεπιφύλακτα! ”
