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.

I teach music through a practical, student-led approach focused on real-world skills, confidence, and creative independence.

My goal is not just to show what to do, but to explain why it works, so students can apply the knowledge across styles, tools, and situations.

Teaching techniques and methods:

I tailor lessons to each student rather than following a rigid syllabus. Teaching is hands on and example driven, using demonstrations, guided exercises, and problem solving. I focus on breaking complex ideas into simple, usable steps, and I prioritise understanding over memorisation. For production and DJ students, this means working directly in their software or setup; for instrumentalists, it means technique applied immediately to music they care about.

A typical lesson plan:

Each lesson usually begins with a short check-in: what have you been working on? What’s got you stuck? And what do you want to do next? We then focus on one or two clear objectives—such as improving a technique, understanding a concept, or developing a track or performance idea. Lessons end with a practical takeaway: a focused exercise, creative task, or workflow to work on between sessions. Including your own SAMPLY portal to share home work and ideas and track messages.

Special characteristics as a teacher

I bring professional, real-world experience into every lesson. I’m direct, patient, and honest about what works and what doesn’t. I’m especially good at helping students who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or self-critical regain clarity and momentum. I adapt quickly to different learning styles and keep lessons grounded and encouraging.

Who I teach

I teach teenagers and adults at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels. This includes hobbyists, aspiring professionals, and working musicians who want to level up specific skills. I regularly work with students who are self-taught, returning to music after a break, neurodivergent, or lacking confidence. Lessons are adapted to individual goals, pace, and circumstances.
