I am a 25-year-old British classical guitarist from London.
I have been living in Graz for 4 years, having completed my Master studies here at the Kunstuniversität Graz. I have been awarded prizes at many international competitions and I regularly perform both solo and duo at festivals and concert series' across Europe. Alongside classical music, I also regularly play pop/acoustic/latin/flamenco music around Graz.
I have been playing the guitar for almost 20 years now and therefore know the instrument like the back of my hand. Now I'd like to share my knowledge with you. I teach with absolute enthusiasm because I think that music is a wonderful way to express oneself – for me, music should be a part of everyone’s life.

Together we can improve your flute sound, fulfill your repertoire wishes, simply learn the instrument and most importantly - have fun with music!
Everyone is welcome - beginners and advanced learners, we will find the right form of teaching. We will make music together, read music and discuss the basics of music theory.
I'm Kate, I come from Latvia, I've been playing the flute for 13 years and I'm currently studying with the principal flutist of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. I love dealing with people and passing on my music knowledge and experiences.

I am pleased to meet you and that you have chosen music and flute!
Kate

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!

I believe it's important to look at the learning process holistically. I think you are the music itself. You bring all the wonderful and beautiful things about it with you. The guitar is the means of expression you've chosen, and WOW! It's definitely cool, and it's amazing that you're even taking this step and want to take it (more) seriously :)

So... simply learning scales and theory isn't my approach. (although there's no way around it haha)

Everything you experience and have experienced contributes to who you are and will become as a musician. It shapes your expression with and without a guitar, and above all, the way you learn.

So, of course, we look at the technique and playing styles, but just as importantly, we look at what aspects of mindset and personal development contribute to the musical development. A lot happens there :)

I would appreciate your trust.

Methodologically, we will work together to understand you and see how you prefer to learn and what you need to stay motivated and grow as a musician (and therefore as a person).

And if you don't know that yet, we'll find out together, slowly, step by step! :)

LET'S DO THIS! Woohoo!

Feel free to send me a message, no matter why!

All the best until then,

Cantata

You can learn to play the classical guitar from the beginner to an advanced level on the lessons with me. My main goal is to teach my student very strong basic skills with which one can develop her-/himself later on her/his own.

Personalized Repertoire: Together, we'll curate a repertoire that aligns with your preferences and aspirations. This ensures a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience as we work towards mastering suggested and favorite pieces.

Joyful Learning: Music is an expression of joy, and I believe that learning should reflect that. Each lesson is designed to be engaging, interactive, and inspiring, fostering an environment where your passion for the classical guitar can truly flourish.

Progressive Advancement: Whether you're just starting your musical journey or seeking to refine your existing skills, this course accommodates all levels. I'll progressively elevate your proficiency and challenge your capabilities, marking significant achievements along the way.

For beginners (in every age group) to show the beauties of playing the cello, for advanced players - tips and tricks, equally useful practice methods, preparation for auditions, and for problems - finding common solutions.
Flexible lesson times.

Music theory - ear training and also musical composition.

The lesson is completely customized to your needs and preferences. We can work on your technique and musicality, or simply learn how to play your favorite songs. I consider myself a truly patient person, and I believe that with hard work, anyone can achieve anything.

The lessons are optimized for everyone — from beginners to experienced piano players. In my teaching, I use several different method books that are ideal for beginners, but also include exercises that further develop the playing skills of more advanced students. I also have books for music theory, so we can start completely from scratch — learning notes, musical terms, and symbols — or review specific topics if needed.

I am available every day of the week for communication, and anything that is unclear during the lesson can be additionally explained afterwards through videos. With my lessons, you don’t just get 45 minutes of instruction — you also gain a friend and a mentor throughout the week, ready to help you with any problem related to your pieces or practice.

• I try to be creative in my lessons and it is important to me that the students are not physically or mentally tense when playing. I also teach basic theoretical knowledge that makes playing the piano easier and if the students have an inclination or interest in improvisation, I develop these skills as well.
• Since I have had many different students with many different needs, I can adapt the lessons to your individual needs.

Whether you're into jazz, musical theatre, pop, soul, rock, classical music, or just love to sing or play piano - I’m here to help you level up your skills!

I offer customized lessons in voice technique, piano, solfège (ear training), and music theory, along with simple yet effective techniques for accompanying yourself on piano while singing.

My goal is to help you improve your skills while also encouraging creativity and personal expression in music in a positive, supportive environment.

All skill levels welcome—whether you're a total beginner or looking to polish your skills. No stress, no pressure – just learning music in a way that works for you!

I find piano lessons very important because they stimulate our brains and develop our coordination. Playing the piano is also challenging, as you have to pay attention to many things and have a lot of patience. For me, teaching is a collaboration in which student and teacher achieve a common goal. With motivation, patience, and an individualized approach, I want to accompany my students on their musical journey.

My name is Noga,
I am an experienced guitar teacher who teaches privately and also in conservatories, with bachelor’s degree in composition.
In my class you’ll deepen your guitar perception and techniques, but also learn to understand music better in general.
Every lesson is suitable for your needs- we can focus on the guitar, or take it to composition or ableton.

Hello everybody!
I am Pijus, a musician with a great love for the classical guitar!
During my studies in Lithuania, Belgium, and Austria, as well as through master classes with renowned classical guitarists, I gained valuable knowledge and experience. These have helped me win 15 competitions and perform in numerous concerts in Lithuania, Belgium, and Austria. That's why I want to share everything I've learned with you, so you can discover the world of the classical guitar and fall in love with it!

In class, we will look together at how to work on a piece independently and play it by heart.
There are also practical exercises for technique and musicality – and a bit of music theory to help you better understand how the guitar and music work together.

I play Panflute, Zampoña, Sikus since I was 8 years old. Later I learned to play Quena, Guitar and Charango. I attended to private Harmony and Music Theory Lessons in Spain with a Jazz Guitarrist and later studied acoustic and Music Production. I have a Music Band Project named Amaru Sunqu.

With all this experience I can teach you whatyou need to play this beautiful andean instrument!

This class focuses on professional music notation and practical arranging using Sibelius.

You will learn how to create clean, readable and performance-ready scores – from piano reductions to small ensemble arrangements. The emphasis is not only on software operation, but on real-world workflow: layout, part extraction, clarity, structure and professional presentation.

This is not a DAW or beat production course. It is designed for musicians, composers or students who want to improve their notation skills and learn how to prepare scores at a professional level.

Lessons are adapted to your experience level and can focus on technical software skills, arranging techniques, or the complete process from musical idea to finished score.

Welcome to my music lessons! I am an experienced teacher and can help you achieve your musical goals, whether you want to make music for fun or prepare for an entrance exam at a music academy.

In my piano lessons you will:

1) Improve your technical skills through my personal collection of technical exercises.
2) Expand your repertoire in any style you like. My specialty is classical music, but together we can also learn pop songs and any other song you enjoy or are interested in.
3) Learn and apply arrangement techniques on the piano: You will be able to play songs by your favorite bands on the piano alone, without losing any musical information! (for advanced students)

Ultimately: Learn the art of playing the piano effectively and constructively, and have fun doing it!

I am a very experienced teacher also at University level.

I am mostly into classical music from 1300 to 2026.

I can successfuly assist you in doing entrance exeminations on music universities/ conservatories.

I teach through listening, asking questions and giving assignements.

Together we can improve your flute sound, fulfill your repertoire wishes, simply learn the instrument and most importantly - have fun with music!
