About Me

Bringing over a decade of teaching in London music colleges and active session playing directly to our lessons, structured around the UK music curriculum. If you’ve just moved to Greece or simply want a friendly, trusted, English-speaking instructor, you get the ideal setup: genuine local availability backed by UK academic training. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an advanced player refining your craft, every session is warm, approachable, and tailored to help you play with real confidence.

Education

Starting with classical piano at the Apollonion Conservatory in Athens and jazz guitar at the Conservatory of Modern Arts in Thessaloniki, I earned my BMus in Jazz Studies in the UK while studying under guitar greats like Mike Outram and Martin Goulding. Alongside active session work, I spent six years training annually with the Tower Hamlets Music Service in London—delivering the UK music curriculum and holding full safeguarding certification across primary schools.

Experience / Qualifications

Beyond formal academic credentials, my teaching is backed by years of active session work across the UK and Greece, bringing real-world stage and studio experience directly into every lesson. I focus on complete musicality—moving beyond textbook theory to build solid groove, tone, performance confidence, and practical execution. Whether you are picking up the guitar for the first time or refining advanced technique, my goal is to provide warm, tailored, and highly effective guidance to help you play with real confidence and authority.

My name is Alessandro, i am an Italian musician and guitarist.

I have been playing guitar for 20 years, and i am in the music business for about 5 years.

I studied music in London, where I got a Bachelor Degree from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance, and privately with people like Phil Capone, Hugh Burns, Martin Goulding, Tolis Zavaliaris, Lee Hodgson and many others.

In the last 7 years i have been touring and recording around the world with the artist Theodore.

Some of the places where i recorded include Abbey Road Studios, Church Studios (London), Clouds Hill studios (Hamburg), and i played on stages around Europe, Canada, U.S.A.

I have skills in guitar performance, Theory, arranging, composition in different style of music such as Jazz, Classical and Pop (Reggae, Funk, R&B, Metal, Fusion, Blues etc.)

My objective is to teach you how to play and experience music in the purest form and to be as creative as possible.

About the Lesson:

Are you a music enthusiast that wants to start learning how to play? Are you an already good player but you want to further develop your skills?
In these lessons, we will create a curriculum together, based on your wishes, needs and musical taste. Our goal is for you to be able to express yourself through your instrument.
I will guide and help you to achieve this goal by providing the following classes:

- Contrabass (Jazz and Classical and any other style)
- Bass Guitar (Any modern style)
- Music Theory
- Solfeggio/ Ear training
- Jazz Harmony

All these classes can be taught seperately. Nevertheless, during our instrumental lesson we will cover a portion of the material of all the modules.

Being a music tutor for more than a decade and having working experience in different countries, gave me the opportunity to develop my teaching skills so that I can customize the lessons according to each individual's special needs. I have an in deep knowledge of the most popular exam systems and syllabus (ABRSM, Trinity & Suzuki). I always try to find the perfect balance between fun and discipline, I try to create strong relationships with my students. I do my best to share my love for l music. I devote my energy to my students with consistency, punctuality and passion!

Learning music and especially guitar can open your personality to a whole new world of emotions, knowledge and communication in such a unique way that only music can offer. After teaching for more than 25 years i can guarantee your improvement and your in depth knowledge of the technique and theory behind the particular instrument.

Everything goes step by step!

I wish I can always bring such great opportunities and successes to all of my "piano kids"!

Dive into the world of piano mastery with Kosmas — renowned pianist, pedagogue, composer, international competitions juror, and prolific recording artist with over 30 years of experience.

Master the piano with Kosmas, one of the most experienced and successful piano teachers. With over 800 students taught, thousands of competition adjudications, and more than 8 million music streams globally, Kosmas brings proven expertise to every lesson.

Whether you're a complete beginner, intermediate player, or advanced student aiming for competitions, exams, diplomas, or professional level, his teaching is fast, individualized, and highly effective.

The older I get, the more I love. Especially during these times of immense ugliness and hate, wars and conflict, music- that's always been all about love - is the home I keep returning to. To me, mentoring someone is all about sharing the love for the instrument, thirst about the material, desire to explore new musical paths and respect for whatever happens whilst playing.

Not only we will explore technical paths and understand rhythm under a totally different light but also communicate through improvisation and modal principles. My goal is for you to love the instrument a bit more, music a bit more and as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said "Perhaps love is the process of my leading you gently back to yourself".
So let's explore together the painstakingly beautiful process of music through the inner child.

My lessons are friendly, relaxed and interactive. We start from the music you enjoy and build your skills step by step.
In class we work on songs, chords, rhythm, technique and improvisation, always in a practical and musical way. Lessons are adapted to your level and goals, whether you are a beginner or already have some experience.
My goal is simple: help you understand the piano, enjoy music and feel confident playing.
Feel free to send me a message and tell me what music you love!
