Do you want to learn how to play saxophone or flute but don't know where to start? Have you been playing for few years already but lost your motivation and you feel stuck? Do you want to take your playing skills to higher level? Do you want to feel free when improvising? Do you want to know what is the theoretical background behind the music you love so much? I can help you with all of that.

I offer saxophone and flute lessons in jazz (especially), but also classical, pop... you name it. Bring your favourite music pieces and I will help you to play them and improvise. In addition, I can help you with better understanding of music theory. If you are also interested in composition, I am the right address for you. Every student is unique, this is why I will do my best to find out what is the best and the most fun process for you to learn and improve fast.

You love your violin or viola and know that your path is different from the traditional one. Your soul tries to express itself through your own art, so you want to deal with technology and theory.

That was my path and I offer you to share everything I have learned over the years!

Focus:

- Jazz and popular music
- improvisation
- band composition
- songwriting
- computers and music

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!

Welcome to my guitar courses!

I graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz with a bachelor's degree in jazz guitar and am currently pursuing a master's degree, which I expect to complete in 2026. Starting in 2025, I will also be studying IGP (instrumental and vocal pedagogy) in jazz guitar at the KUG.

With over 9 years of teaching experience – from my beginnings in Athens, Greece, to my current residence in Graz, Austria – I have worked with students of all ages and experience levels.

Every student is unique – therefore, lessons are individually tailored to your musical interests and goals.

What we can work on together in class:

1.Guitar & fretboard knowledge
Learn to truly understand your instrument – this will not only help you learn your favorite songs, but also help you make music creatively.

2.Song accompaniment
Develop your skills as a rhythm guitarist: chords, strumming and fingerstyle techniques, rhythmic patterns in different styles.

3. Improvisation
Especially essential in jazz – together we work on the necessary tools such as arpeggios, triads, theoretical basics and phrasing.

4.Rhythm training
Improve your sense of time and develop a solid rhythmic foundation – essential for any musical style.

5.Harmony, modern music theory & composition
Dive deeper into the structure of music and learn how to write your own pieces.

6. Playing technique
We work specifically on your technique – e.g. alternate picking, sweep picking, hybrid picking, legato, etc.

7.Repertoire
Learn songs and solos in your favorite style – whether rock, jazz, pop, funk, metal or more.

Whether you are just beginning or already advanced, I would be happy to support you in developing your full musical potential.

**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

My name is Giuseppe and I'm an Italian musician living in Graz.

Before moving, I worked as a guitar and music theory teacher at a music school, as I have a degree in electric guitar.

During my studies and my work as a player and teacher, I studied and played different types of music, from blues, rock, to the most extreme metal.

I am available for online and private lessons, but also as a session man in the studio or for concerts.

During the lessons we will deepen the different aspects and techniques of the instrument and combine practice and theory.

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.

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.
