Guitar, Composition, Theory, Piano lessons - Copenhagen, all levels

From 76 C$ /h

Whether you are just starting to play the guitar or piano, or you are already an advanced musician interested in exploring complex compositional ideas and developing your own improvisational language, I am glad to help you in your musical journey. With seven years of teaching experience, I offer lessons for students of all ages and levels of advancement.

I focus on helping students develop both their instrumental skills and creative awareness. My teaching combines structure, intuition, and critical listening — whether we work on guitar technique, harmony, and phrasing, or on broader concepts of form, texture, and composition.

A typical session may include practical exercises on the instrument, analysis of selected works, guided improvisation, or composition tasks. Depending on your interests, we can also explore digital tools such as DAWs and live electronics.

My goal is to give students both technical precision and artistic freedom — helping each person build a deeper understanding of sound and their own musical identity.

About Me

As an independent musician and leader of two musical projects, I have acquired first-hand experience in many roles in the music industry (composer, bandleader, producer, guitarist, arranger). I am always happy to share my experiences, and find it very rewarding to help other musicians work on their craft and spark curiosity in developing their own personal voice on the instrument.

I hold a Master’s degree in composition from the Syddansk Musikkonservatorium in Odense, where I studied with some of the leading Scandinavian composers, Erik Ørum von Spreckelsen, Ejnar Kanding, and Rasmus Zwicki. Over the years, I’ve refined my approach through workshops and artistic residencies with artists such as Christian Fennesz, Maja S. K. Ratkje, Simon Steen-Andersen, Christian Lillinger, Kit Downes, Lage Lund, Samuel Blaser, Jim Black, John Escreet, and Marc Ducret.

As the leader of two projects, Semiotic Quintet and Akimbo, and an active instrumentalist, I have performed at festivals such as the Warsaw Summer Jazz Days, Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Central European Jazz Showcase (Brno), Polska Jazz Festival (Budapest), and Jazz Juniors (Kraków).

I draw on these experiences to help students shape their own artistic voice — connecting creative exploration with clear musical thinking.

Hi,

My name is Can. I've been teaching guitar for 28 years at all levels. If you want to learn to play the most useful and popular instruments in the music world you can join my lessons.

You can play almost all kinds of genres with the guitar. It is the only string instrument which is really polyphonic. The guitar is like an orchestra. Every instrument of the orchestra is inside the guitar but in a smaller sound size. It has many different colors, many different timbres.

Besides teaching this awesome instrument I will also teach you using the programs that help to improvise, recording, and making music. I will give you books, etudes to develop your speed and precision in a short time. After being advanced we will study different genres like rock, blues, jazz, improvisation and solo transcriptions.

All levels are accepted.

GuitarMap is a book I've penned, with plenty of shortcuts to understand harmony and how it works in guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, etc. Lessons are based on the book, which makes it easy to keep track of progress.
