Professional guitar lessons - jazz/rock/theory/technique
My name is Robert. I am offering bespoke, high-quality one-to-one guitar lessons in Berlin. Lessons are catered for beginners to advanced/university-level students. If you are serious about learning the guitar or furthering your current skills, then please read on.
WHAT I TEACH!
I specialize in teaching advanced students in fretboard mapping, strong technique, and all aspects of harmony and improvisation. I believe in hard work and building strong foundations, leaving no stone unturned, and developing a thorough and usable "matrix" on the guitar. True learning and progress take time and dedication and practice time is precious. I aim to have every student I teach in a place where they can facilitate their own learning and development. I don't just teach "jazz" improvisation but rather a holistic approach to improvisation in Western music. However, I am also very experienced with beginners and I would be happy to take on any student who is serious about learning.
So if you are interested in having a quality service from an experienced, passionate tutor, then please enquire and we can discuss what it is that you want from a teacher.

About Me
- I am an experienced, creative, and enthusiastic teacher, passionate about helping students find their way to effectively practice and develop their skills and musicality. Music is for life and should be enjoyable. Even though there is a lot of hard work involved, the right methods and a good teacher can make a huge difference.- I love to teach jazz, improvisation, harmony, and general music theory but am very experienced in performing and teaching other styles such as Rock, Folk, and Pop. My main stand-out quality is methodology over style. This makes me suitable for many learners.

I have a 1st class master's degree under Frank Möbus at HfM Weimar Franz Liszt and a bachelor's degree in jazz studies from Leeds Conservatoire (UK) as well as a teaching diploma in further education.
- In addition to my teaching and studies, I am a professional performer specializing in jazz, folk, and improvised music. I have played all over the UK and Europe as a leader and sideman and have played with artists such as Dave Newton (Martin Taylor) and Steve Waterman. I have taught university students from Bristol University, BIMM, and UdK as well as led numerous workshops for Bristol University students. I lectured for 3 years in jazz, world music, and performance in a top UK Further Education college. Also a member of LiveMusicNow and SuperAct. I am currently teaching and performing in Berlin.

Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student.
My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music” (under the guidance of esteemed professor Sergei Edelmann). Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (with Prof. Lydia Artymiw) and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (with Dr. Tamas Ungar). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

Private Guitar and Music Theory LessonsGuitar and Music Theory classes, beginner level.
The classes are private (1 student per class) and are personalized, adapting to the tastes and objectives of each student.
They last one hour and are 100% virtual via Zoom. The idea is to learn dynamically, seeing concrete examples with songs, and always putting theory into practice.
In the case of support classes for music students, we will see what topics the student is studying and will cover them with simple explanations and practical examples.

Music Fundamentals: Music Theory & Music AppreciationMusic Fundamentals: Music Theory is an intro-level class that breaks down the building blocks of music. You’ll learn how to read music, understand rhythm, scales, key signatures, intervals, chords, and basic harmony. It’s all about giving you the tools to understand how music is written, played, and structured—whether you’re composing, performing, or just trying to make sense of what’s on the page. Think of it as learning the grammar and vocabulary of the music language.

Let’s learn basics of guitar.Guitar Basics
The guitar is a versatile and popular stringed musical instrument, widely used across genres like rock, pop, blues, classical, and more. Understanding the basics is essential for beginners to start playing and progress effectively. Here’s a concise overview:
1. Parts of the Guitar
• Body: The main part, which amplifies sound in acoustic guitars or houses electronics in electric ones.
• Neck: The long, thin section where the fretboard is located, used for pressing strings to form notes.
• Fretboard: A flat surface with metal frets, dividing the neck into segments for different pitches.
• Headstock: At the end of the neck, it holds the tuning pegs to adjust string tension.
• Strings: Typically six, labeled (from thickest to thinnest) E (low), A, D, G, B, and E (high).
• Bridge: Anchors the strings to the body, transferring vibrations to produce sound.
2. Types of Guitars
• Acoustic: Produces sound naturally via the hollow body; ideal for folk, country, and classical.
• Electric: Relies on an amplifier and pickups to produce sound; common in rock, jazz, and metal.
• Classical: Features nylon strings, suited for classical and fingerstyle playing.
• Bass: A four-string variant for lower pitches, used to anchor rhythm and harmony.
3. Tuning
Standard tuning for a six-string guitar is E-A-D-G-B-E. Use a tuner (electronic or app-based) to adjust each string’s pitch by turning the tuning pegs. A properly tuned guitar ensures notes and chords sound correct.
4. Basic Techniques
• Holding the Guitar: Sit with the guitar resting on your dominant leg (right leg for right-handed players), keeping the neck slightly tilted upward. For electric, a strap allows standing.
• Fretting: Press strings down on the fretboard with your fingertips (left hand for right-handed players) to change notes. Use light but firm pressure just behind the fret.
• Strumming/Picking: Use a pick or fingersਸ
System: your fingers to strum or pluck the strings with your right hand. Start with simple patterns.
5. Chords and Notes
• Chords: Combinations of notes played together. Beginners often start with open chords like C, G, D, A, and E, using multiple fingers to press strings.
• Notes: Single pitches, found by pressing a string on a specific fret. Practice simple scales like the major or minor pentatonic.
