Classical guitar, composition, and music theory lessons

From 85 C$ /h

Playing the classical guitar can be utterly gratifying for professionals and amateurs alike; molding unique sounds with our fingers and expressing our inner selves. Even more so, playing an instrument is a way to escape some of our everyday problems.

Learning to play the classical guitar, on the other hand, can often be frustrating; progress sometimes feels impossibly slow, and there are way too many things that need our full attention.

I'm here to help you make your practice more focused, purposeful, and efficient; establish a routine that will allow you to develop a solid technique, with a musical touch and an all-around repertoire.

I only work with a small selection of students, and I treat each of them individually.

If you are interested in learning more and discussing my approach or taking lessons, feel free to contact me. I teach both online and at my place in Berlin.

I offer professional guitar lessons for kids & adults in your home or online.

I am a concert guitarist with an Italian master's degree in “classical guitar” at the Conservatorio di Musica (Music Academy) in Benevento, Italy. I have studied guitar for over 10 years and attended the master classes of the world-famous guitarist Edoardo Catemario for 6 years as a student. I gave numerous concerts in my home country (Teatro la Fenice - Venice; Festival Rosso di Sera - Siena; Centro di Musica Antica Fondazione “Pietà de Turchini” - Naples, etc.)
Since I have been teaching at music schools in Naples (Italy) for several years, I have a lot of teaching experience with both children and adults.

I speak Italian, English, and German.

Hi there! I'm a professional, award-winning guitarist with over 18 years of experience playing Jazz, Blues, Funk, Pop, and Finger-style. I have worked internationally as a bandleader, accompanist, and solo performer.

My approach to teaching is very pragmatic, time-efficient, and fun and I prefer not to overwhelm students with too much information or technical exercises. I believe that the number one priority both in playing and teaching music should be enjoyment, and that's why I tailor each lesson to the uniqueness of each student, making sure that we are learning about things that YOU want to learn about and moving towards YOUR unique goals.
I look forward to hearing from you and learning together!

My teaching is also informed by years of research into areas such as neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and meditation. This background has allowed me to develop a truly holistic approach to music, one which promises not only faster improvement, but also greater musical EASE, ENJOYMENT, and CREATIVITY.

Philip :)

Ever wanted to make music but felt overwhelmed or unsure where to start? Think electronic music is too complicated or requires special talent?

I’ve been there. A decade ago, I faced the same challenges. Now, as a producer, composer, and DJ based in Berlin—I help others break through those barriers. I’ve performed at Abbey Road, BBC Maida Vale, and Hammersmith Apollo, and released music on 3024, Rhythm Section, Holding Hands, and more.

My Teaching Approach
I make music production simple and fun—whether you use Ableton, Logic, or any DAW. Beyond technique, I focus on the psychology of creativity, helping you build confidence and develop a workflow that feels natural.

What You’ll Achieve
✅ Two finished tracks
✅ A clear, structured process – Start, Build, Finish
✅ Creative confidence to make music independently

Let’s turn your ideas into music. 🎵

With over 10 years of professional experience recording, producing, and touring across Europe and North America, I offer personalized lessons in music production, recording, and songwriting. My approach is rooted in mentorship and artistic growth—when I was starting out, I wished for someone to challenge my ideas, help me see things from new perspectives, and guide me toward my own voice in music. This is what I aim to offer: helping you develop your creative identity while learning essential production techniques.

I have worked in big professional studios, recorded albums in old barns, basements, and bedrooms, and learned how to get the best results from any setup. Whether you have a high-end studio or just a laptop and a microphone, I’ll help you maximize your tools and make your craft matter.

What You Can Expect:
Recording & Mixing – Microphone techniques, sound shaping, and dynamic control
Sampling & Synthesis – Creative sound design, modular setups, and textures
Experimental Approaches – Breaking conventional structures and exploring new ideas
Utilizing Your Own Setup – Work with what you have, no big-budget studio required
These lessons are for musicians, producers, and songwriters of all levels who want to expand their technical skills and artistic vision. My goal is to mentor and challenge you, offering new perspectives and helping you unlock the full potential of your music.

Let’s explore your ideas and push your music forward.

I’m a professional musician with over 20 years of experience, having been trained at the Escuela de Música Contemporánea in Buenos Aires and holding a Master's degree in Creative Production from Berlin. I offer guitar and ukulele lessons tailored to your musical taste and goals.

I offer personalized guitar and ukulele lessons for all ages, designed to help students truly connect with their instrument. My approach is based on learning repertoire that the student genuinely enjoys, while developing strong technique and music theory in a practical and musical way.

A key element of my teaching is improvisation, as it allows students to connect immediately with the language of music, build confidence, and express themselves freely from the very beginning.

I also incorporate breathing exercises into my lessons to help students relax, improve focus, and develop a deeper physical and musical connection with their instrument.

In addition to instrumental lessons, I offer early music education for children aged 3 to 5, focusing on musical initiation through rhythm, listening, movement, and play in a fun and nurturing environment.

Lessons are available in Spanish, English, French, and German, and are always adapted to each student’s age, level, goals, and musical interests.

🔹 Format: Online or in-person
🔹 Lesson type: Individual or group classes
🔹 All ages and skill levels welcome

My approach is warm, flexible, and student-centered: you’ll learn at your own pace, with lessons designed just for you — and most importantly, you'll enjoy the process.

📍 Contact me for availability. Let’s start your musical journey!

I will be offering singing lessons across multiple genres, tailored to each student’s individual goals, experience level, and learning style and will also take an approach that allows students to really express themselves and their voice.

I believe great music tuition is about far more than technique; it is about building a student’s confidence, nurturing their curiosity, and making every lesson something they genuinely look forward to. In my singing lessons, I can adapt my approach to everyone’s goals and learning style, whether that means preparing a student for an examination, developing performance confidence, or simply helping a beginner fall in love with their instrument.
