Professional violinist, soloist, concert master and teacher offering online violin lessons. I am currently employed as an assistant violin professor at the Ljubljana Music Academy and have been working as concert master of Philharmonie Salzburg and Ljubljana Soloists for the better part of the last decade. My concert experience involves soloistic and chamber music performances at prestigious venues and festivals in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia and China. My pedagogical approach is very systematic and includes technical preparation, musical interpretation, performance practice of different styles and orchestral audition preparation. I studied violin with Igor Ozim at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg and Rainer Schmidt at the Music Academy Basel as well as baroque violin with David Plantier at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. I have lately been dedicating special attention to the performance practice of the baroque and classical eras so you are welcome to consult me on this topic as well as any other violin playing aspect. I am a young and relaxed teacher, willing to adapt my way of teaching to the level and expectation of every individual. Students of all ages and levels are welcome to contact me. I teach in English, German, Slovene or Serbian.

If you want to dive deeper into the wonderful world of music and learn to play the piano or organ and understand the theory behind it, please feel free to contact me.

I have many years of professional experience, master's degrees in both instruments, as well as in musicology.
I focus on both musical and technical aspects of organ and piano playing and work with students of all levels and ages: from beginners to conservatoires.

I have a handful of love for my job, as well as the will, the desire and the passion to share my knowledge and skills.
I look forward to your message and our creative journey together.

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!

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!

My goal is that you come out of the lessons feeling inspired and enriched by music and of course, trying to enjoy together. There is no need to have a minimum level for the lessons, whether you are a beginner or have an advanced level for violin-viola or Music theory, my lessons will be adapted to your needs and desires to get the best out of each student. Flexible lesson times, without stress and of course having fun and pleasure in music-making!

Lessons online in English, German (beginner), Spanish and Basque

*Piano/Keyboard lessons for students of all ages

*If you are interested, there is the opportunity to take part in an audition evening at the end of the school year

* Lessons on request from pop to classical

*Units: Can be flexibly selected between 30 and 60 minutes

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

Dear students, if you want to learn to sing, play piano or you are interested in music theory, you are on the wright place. I have two master degrees - Pedagogy of music and solo singing. Now, I am on my third master degree of voice in Graz. I worked in Music school for two years and I had great results in my work with a students. Also, I love to work with an adults. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me.

Professor with a Higher Diploma in Piano from the Liceu Conservatory of Music in Barcelona and specializing in Spanish music from the Frank Marshall Academy (founded by Enrique Granados).

My curriculum is comprehensive and progressive. My teaching method focuses primarily on good sight-reading, combined with refined piano technique.

I also address learning difficulties such as postural problems, tension, and faulty touch.

My piano technique is based on the Enrique Granados school and his specific touch-based method, emphasizing sound and proper pedal use.

We will work on three basic sections: technique exercises, studies, and works from all styles (Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc.).

We will also cover music theory (theory + daily exercises from the ABSRM method), solfège, choral singing, written ear training, score analysis, and concert listening exercises.

In addition to my in-person lessons, my online classes feature high-quality audio and video specifically designed for musicians: via the Zoom video call app (with settings that typically offer better sound for piano), and using OBS production software so you can clearly see the keyboard and hands from different angles.
Sound is captured with Behringer stereo microphones (piano) and a separate microphone for vocals, and multiple screens are used to combine sheet music, explanation, and real-time demonstration.

The goal is to make the online lesson as close as possible to an in-person class.

I have 30 years of experience as a teacher. Lessons are personalized to each student's needs, for all levels and ages (children and adults).

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.

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.

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!

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 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.
