    How to become a guitar master! Stop being an eternal beginner!
    I know what it means to feel like an eternal beginner. You learn new songs but you struggle each time there’s a new chord or a different strumming pattern. You would like to improve faster and you are not really sure if you are learning right. Although you are playing, you don’t get the results that you want. This was the exact same thing that happened to me many years ago. I was playing but I didn’t really have a clear understanding of what I was doing. It took me a while to understand that I had to invest in a high-quality teacher, not only someone who could play but also someone who had a background in teaching. My guitar lessons are designed so that you acquire a solid music foundation from the beginning! I see too many new musicians simply copying from YouTube tutorials! I am afraid- that's not enough! Whether you are a beginner or advanced player, you deserve to progress in your musical journey at the right place and in the right way. Get in touch if you want to: · Acquire a solid music foundation; · Learn how to play iconic rock/alt-rock/blues/pop songs; · Learn new groovy strumming patterns; · Learn how to improvise; · Experiment with new techniques; · Understand and apply music theory concepts.

    Private Lessons in Music Theory and Composition: tutoring in theory, songwriting, and composition
    Whether you're an aspiring composer, singer/songwriter, or musician wanting a deeper knowledge of harmonic and melodic frameworks – I can help. I believe in "the authentic voice" – exploring what makes your music unique while also building a solid foundation of technical knowledge and skill. I will guide you in cultivating technique, while helping you break through barriers – allowing you to express yourself freely. I've been a composer for over 10 years, and have been teaching since 2018. I have experience writing and teaching classical, song-writing, folk, jazz, electronic, and contemporary genres Beginner Music Theory: - ear training and conscious listening - introduction to melody, counterpoint, and harmony - introductory music theory exercises (playing instrument, singing, and/or written assignments) - score reading and song analysis - introduction to form and arranging - - - Intermediate Theory and/or Composition: - 20th century music theory & form - composition assignments given to assist in weak areas - reading and writing alternative music notation - how to generate new musical ideas - - - Advanced Composition - feedback on current works-in-progress - competition or application preparation - assistance with finding musicians/ensembles to play your work - ways to deal with writers block and methods for generating new ideas - improvisation - - - Lessons in Berlin, DE or online

    Piano Lessons for Improvisational Playing + Playing by Ear
    Throughout the years I have developed piano skills with which I can play all sorts of compositions by ear as well as improvise variations based on the main structure of a piece. In this course I will show you the practical and theoretical basics to improvise as well as learn pieces on the piano without note sheets. It will not be a "classical music lesson" although I will reference classical music and talk about music theory, music history and the physics of sound a lot. It won't have a "syllabus" either on the basis that every person needs different sets of skills to improve upon. It will be more of a discussion/dialogue accompanying the piano where we will expand on our ideas about music. What You'll Learn: -How to play Melodies, Chords, Songs. -Different Chord Shapes, Intervals, Scales etc. -Basic to Intermediate Music Theory: -Pitch -Modes -Harmony vs. Melody -Consonance vs. Dissonance -Chords & Chord Progressions -Rhythm & Meter -Timbre: Dynamics & Articulation I don't have any demonstration material up on this page so you can write to me if you want to meet up where I can demonstrate you my piano skills.

    Guitar and Improvisation - 18 years of musical experience
    Hi there! I'm a professional, award-winning guitarist with over 18 years of experience playing Jazz, Blues, Funk, Pop, and Finger-style. I have worked internationally as a bandleader, accompanist, and solo performer. My approach to teaching is very pragmatic, time-efficient, and fun and I prefer not to overwhelm students with too much information or technical exercises. I believe that the number one priority both in playing and teaching music should be enjoyment, and that's why I tailor each lesson to the uniqueness of each student, making sure that we are learning about things that YOU want to learn about and moving towards YOUR unique goals. I look forward to hearing from you and learning together! My teaching is also informed by years of research into areas such as neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and meditation. This background has allowed me to develop a truly holistic approach to music, one which promises not only faster improvement, but also greater musical EASE, ENJOYMENT, and CREATIVITY. Philip :)

You will build a solid foundation in guitar playing through carefully selected songs that you get to choose from. Once you get the hang of the fundamentals, you get to tell me which songs you want to learn during our lessons to expand your skills and become more proficient, and I will teach you how to read and play your favorite songs like a master! After learning the more common chords and basics of guitar playing, you will learn about strumming patterns, finger picking, and tabs through the songs of your choice. One benefit of this technological world is that we can find almost anything online if we know where and how to look, which includes most of our favorite songs. All you have to do is give me the names of songs you would like to play, and I will work my magic to help you achieve that goal. Playing the songs you listen to and love makes the lessons a lot more fun and rewarding for everyone. My guitar lessons inspire creativity and help develop new students into world-class players. All ages are welcome! Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student.
