Hallo, Ich komme aus Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, und spiele Gitarre sehr gern!

Deutsch:

Von Anfänger bis University student, Ich kann dir E-Gitarre, Akustische Gitarre, oder Ukulele beibringen. Entweder ein paar Akkorde um deine Lieblingslieder zu spielen oder durch komplexerer Themen wie Jazz harmony. Ich lehre gern auch Musiktheorie/Komposition, also wenn du Theorie Nachhilfe oder Vorbereitung auf Universitätsprüfungen brauchst, dann kann ich dir damit auch helfen!

Englisch ist natürlich meine Muttersprache, aber ich würde gern auch auf Deutsch unterrichten!


English:

From beginner to university student, I can teach you electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or ukulele. Whether it's just a few chords to play your favourite songs or through more complex topics like jazz harmony. I also like to teach music theory / composition, so if you need theory tutoring or preparation for university exams, I can help you with that too!

With 16 years of guitar playing experience and Bachelors Degree in Jazz & Contemporary Popular music, I've had the opportunity to play Jazz, RnB, Folk/Singersongwriter, Bluegrass, Funk, Heavy Metal, Rock. From Jazz Bigbands and Musical Pitbands, to accompanying singer songwriters, to playing solo guitar concerts. I know how the guitar fits into many different types of ensembles and with many styles of music.

I'm now studying a Master of Jazz Composition and Arranging at KUG in Graz and I love to help others understanding complex musical theory and how it can be used to write new music! I love writing music for Bigband, Classical Chamber ensembles, and small jazz ensembles as well as for singer-songwriters.

English is of course my mother tongue but I would be happy to teach in German as well!

I am a professional guitarist, composer and music educator based in Graz, Austria. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Jazz Guitar at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in 2023, followed by a Master's degree in Jazz Guitar with honors in June 2026.

Alongside my artistic work, I am currently studying Instrumental and Vocal Pedagogy (IGP) in Jazz Guitar at the same university, with additional focuses on arrangement and ensemble direction.

With over ten years of teaching experience, I have worked with children, teenagers and adults of all ages and ability levels—from complete beginners to advanced musicians and students preparing for university entrance examinations.

Every student is unique. For this reason, each lesson is individually adapted to your musical interests, goals, experience and preferred learning pace.

- What We Can Work on Together

1. Understanding the Guitar and Fretboard

Develop a clear understanding of your instrument and learn how notes, chords, scales and musical patterns are organized across the fretboard. This will help you learn songs more efficiently and express your own musical ideas with greater freedom.

2. Song Accompaniment

Develop your skills as a rhythm guitarist through chords, strumming patterns, fingerstyle techniques and accompaniment approaches from a variety of musical styles.

3. Improvisation

Improvisation is an important part of jazz, but it can also be applied to rock, blues, funk, pop and many other styles. We will work with practical tools such as arpeggios, triads, scales, phrasing, ear training and harmonic concepts, always connecting them directly to real music.

4. Rhythm and Timing

Develop a stronger sense of pulse, groove and musical timing. A solid rhythmic foundation is essential for every musician, whether you are playing alone, accompanying singers or performing with a band.

5. Harmony, Modern Music Theory and Composition

Explore how music is constructed and learn to understand chord progressions, melodies, scales, song forms and harmonic relationships. Students who are interested in composing can also develop their own pieces and musical ideas.

6. Guitar Technique

We can work systematically on different technical areas, including alternate picking, economy picking, sweep picking, hybrid picking, legato, chord transitions, articulation and coordination between both hands.

Technique is always approached as a tool for musical expression rather than as an isolated exercise.

7. Repertoire

Learn songs, compositions and solos in the styles that inspire you, whether that is jazz, rock, pop, blues, funk, metal or another musical direction.

Your favorite music can become the foundation for developing technique, theory, rhythm and creativity.

8. Creativity and Musical Expression

Students are encouraged to develop their own musical ideas, experiment with sound, improvise, compose and discover a personal connection with the instrument.

9. Preparation for Performances and Entrance Examinations

Advanced students can receive structured support in preparing for concerts, auditions and entrance examinations at music schools, conservatoires and music universities.

10. Personal and Supportive Lessons

My aim is to create a positive, patient and respectful learning environment. Mistakes are treated as a natural part of the learning process, and each lesson is built around realistic goals and sustainable progress.

Whether you are picking up the guitar for the first time or looking to take your playing to a more advanced level, I will support you in developing your skills, confidence and individual musical voice.

Let's make music together!
