About Me

My passion is music and helping students find their voice on their instrument and to help them achieve their goals; whether it’s playing songs, passing exams, understanding theory or preparing for a performance etc.
With infinite patience and empathy I focus on your strengths and weaknesses and will gently encourage you to broaden your repertoire, break down barriers and polish your skills. I am very good at identifying areas of improvement that will not only instil confidence but will also take your playing to new heights.

Education

I studied at the University of West London where I got my 'Masters Degree' in music and I am also RGT graded on guitar and bass guitar

My Musical Beginnings
My fascination for music began at an early age listening to recordings and going to as many gigs as i could. I was given an acoustic guitar for my 10th birthday and haven't put it down since. My interest was mostly in Rock as a child (with the big power chords and even bigger hair styles but don't tell anyone)! With this solid foundation, my tastes then broadened and after a few years of playing i started playing bass guitar. I have been learning both instruments even since, along with many other musical instruments and equipment.

Experience / Qualifications

Teaching Experience
With over 15 years of teaching a wide variety of students of varying levels and abilities at Chichester College, and now offering private music tuition, I understand that everyone picks things up at different speeds and has their own way of learning. I adapt my methods and approach to help achieve each students potential. I cover many different musical styles and have studied many of the greatest musicians in the world!

Performing Experience
I have been playing live professionally since the age of 14, from solo performance to full 8 piece bands and everything in-between. Folk, Country, Rock, Pop, Funk, Blues and Rock & Roll/Swing. In addition to venue gigs, I’ve also performed at many Festivals and occasionally, when my schedule allows it, fill in to help out other bands on short notice.

Session Musician & Studio Work
I studied Music Technology at college and went on to work as a Music Engineer at Whaus Haus Recording Studio for 5 years where i played with and recorded many great artists. Working in studio is a different experience from playing live, and takes additional skills. These skills can also be applied to your guitar learning or if you already have some musical experience and want to record some tracks, I now offer recording sessions in my studio.

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

My guitar lessons are designed to make learning guitar fun and rewarding. I break down new concepts into simple, easy-to-understand steps, so students can build their skills and confidence without feeling overwhelmed.

From your very first lesson, you’ll start learning a real song! I teach the fundamentals of guitar through carefully selected songs, giving you the opportunity to start making music right away. Once you’ve learned the basics, you get to choose songs you actually want to play, and we use those songs to continue building your skills and expanding what you can do on the guitar. I believe learning guitar is much more enjoyable when you get to play the music you listen to and love. Whether you’re a complete beginner or already have some experience, I’ll help you develop the skills you need while keeping lessons fun and motivating. No prior experience is needed—just bring your enthusiasm and a love for music!

I’m excited to help you begin (or continue) your musical journey!

- Fundamental techniques of playing electric bass
- Understanding and coming up with a bassline
- What makes it groove?
- How to improvise: soloing and walking bass
- How to change the underlying harmonies of a song to make it sound cooler (or weirder!)
- Understanding how the musical elements are glued in a song, and if you dare, how to write one yourself
- How to learn music or play music by ear

Languages: English (fluent), German (B1 and improving), Korean (native)

PROFESSIONAL GUITARIST, COMPOSER, MUSIC AND GUITAR TEACHER

Beginner-Advanced Level

Experience:
I am a professional musician and have been teaching students of all ages for over 20 years. My experience as a teacher and my pursuit of self-improvement as a musician have led me to develop an effective method that I have already tested with over a hundred students.
Throughout my career I had the satisfaction of studying with great masters of different specialties or styles, each one emphasizing different aspects of flamenco, classical or modern guitar and each one has given me their approach (technique, rhythms, accompaniment, harmony, etc.), which has led me after years of study and compilation to take the best from each one to develop my method.

My role in my classes is more that of a personal trainer than a teacher, where I will be very attentive to bringing out the best in my students, finding the right technique to help them develop a good rhythm, working on their rhythm, etc.
For me, the role of a teacher, in addition to teaching, is to be part of a team, to maintain morale and constantly improve oneself while always maintaining a love for music.

Methodology:
I tailor the lessons to the student's level, style, or goals. Generally, the first half of the lesson is dedicated to technique, focusing on proper placement, execution, and relaxation, which will result in a good sound. Over time, I've realized that it's also a way to connect with the guitar, concentrate, and warm up. So, little by little, we'll develop our routine, which will begin by working on basic rhythmic aspects.
The second half is dedicated to playing, trying to put into practice what we learned about the technique with the sticks or studying other concerns of the student, which may be a theme, harmony, falsetas, improvisation, or even other styles, etc., always obviously taking into account the search or interest of the student.

FLAMENCO
- Flamenco technique
- Palos (Tangos, Bulerías, Alegrías, Soleá, Taranta...)
- Accompaniment to singing and dancing
- Clapping and rhythms

MODERN GUITAR
- Harmony
- Improvisation
- Repertoire (rumbas, pop, jazz, rock, etc.)

CLASSIC
- Reading, solfège and interpretation.
- Works
- I work with progressive learning books

Hello! I am a professional music educator with 16 years of experience dedicated to making music an indispensable part of life rather than just a lesson. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 1,000 students individually, guiding hundreds of them to successfully enter Conservatories and Fine Arts High Schools. 🏆

My philosophy is simple: Music is loved first, then learned. I prioritize building a deep connection between the student and their instrument. Whether you want to master the Piano, Violin, Guitar, or Oud, I offer a holistic approach that combines technical skill, ear training, and rhythm development.

I don’t believe in rote memorization. My teaching system is based on logic and understanding the "mathematics" of music. By simplifying complex music theory and "Makam" knowledge into practical and engaging methods, I ensure my students reach a stage-ready level in as little as one year. 🎼

In my online studio, I provide a high-quality learning experience using multi-camera angles and professional sound setups that rival face-to-face lessons. Whether you are a preschooler, a young aspiring artist, or an adult beginner, I create personalized, goal-oriented roadmaps to help you reach your musical dreams. 🌍

Let’s start this journey together and build a solid foundation that lasts a lifetime

Hello and nice to meet you! My name is Sara ~

My experience with guitar started with classical guitar when I was 6 years old and moving on to playing electric guitar at age 14.
Being immersed in playing primarily blues and jazz music.

I have taught students who not only do music as a hobby, but also students with serious career plans in music. I am open to various styles of playing guitar (jazz, blues, fingerstyle, funk, free improvisation and other popular genres) to all levels.

My approach is heavily focused on individual student's goals and needs: If you are just starting to play the instrument, for instance, we will focus on learning the basic technique through simple and easy songs.
If you are intermediate or advanced player already, we will focus on refining your already existing knowledge and find improvements to work on. Or, we can focus on specific themes, for instance improvisation, transcribing, technique and so on.

I also enjoy music theory very much and as I too struggled with grasping the concept when I was younger I am now more than happy to be able to present the world of music theory to anyone who is interested.
We can begin with the basics that can help you improve on your instrument or we can dive deeper into more advanced fields of jazz theory.
Whether you would like to learn music theory for practicality or you have an exam soon and would like to revise/learn more, I am more than happy to help you out on your music theory journey.

Hello, my future student!
I would love to offer you a different approach to the guitar music you love!

I am an experienced guitar teacher with seven years of teaching experience in both public and private schools. During the pandemic, I also started teaching online, and I have continued offering online lessons ever since.

My students come from different backgrounds and have a wide range of musical interests. Sometimes they introduce me to music I have never heard before — and I love that! We can learn the songs and repertoire you enjoy while also building the skills you need to become a confident and versatile guitarist.

Of course, good musicianship comes with good technique, and I will make sure you develop a solid technical foundation so that you can feel more comfortable and free when playing the music you love.

Whether you are looking for a guitar teacher for your child or finally want to make your dream of learning guitar as an adult come true, you can expect our lessons to be both fun and effective.

My international experience includes concerts and studies across Europe, including Serbia, Slovakia, Poland, and Spain. Along the way, I studied music pedagogy and earned diplomas in both Performing Arts and Music Pedagogy from the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava.

Lessons are available in English, Spanish, Serbian, or Slovak.

If you would like to know more about the lessons, feel free to get in touch. I would be happy to answer your questions.

See you soon! 🎸
