Expert Online Guitar & Ukulele Tutor | Rockschool & Trinity Exam Prep, Technique & Creative Songwriting

From 42 C$ /h

Hello! I’m Vivek, a professional guitar instructor specializing in structured, goal-oriented online lessons for acoustic and electric guitar, ukulele, and music theory.

Why Learn With Me?

Internationally Recognized Curricula: I seamlessly integrate graded syllabuses from world-class examination boards like Rockschool and Trinity College London. These provide an incredible, structured catalog of song options and foundational exercises that guarantee steady, measurable progress.

Pedagogically Sound Sequencing: No random YouTube tutorials or guesswork. Every lesson follows a carefully optimized sequence designed to instill great physical habits, build fretboard fluency, and maximize your growth for the practice time you put in.

Creativity From Day One: Theory and technique are important, but music is about expression. From the very beginning in our lessons, we will work on crafting simple melodies, understanding chord progressions, and developing your own improvisational voice.

Comprehensive Practice Support: Every session is backed by custom digital resources, synced notation/tabs, demo & backing tracks, and structured practice routines so you always know what to focus on between classes.

Distance is never a barrier. My lessons run over a stable, high-speed fiber connection with HD video positioned so you always have a clear view of both my fretting and picking hands. Combined with musician-optimized audio settings and real-time screen sharing for tabs, chord charts, and notation, every session feels just as clear and interactive as sitting in the same room.

About Me

My connection to the guitar, 15+ years, has always been rooted in a genuine drive to make music with others. For years, I wrote and performed with my band, Maya's Grid (formerly The Malakar Experience). We released original tracks like 'Flying Heavy,' recorded live in a single-take studio session (Be Harmonic), both available on YouTube, and played at a few diverse venues in India. It was simply the honest pursuit of someone who genuinely loved the process of creating music.

As I dived deeper into teaching as my profession, I brought that holistic philosophy with me. I understand and support that learning your favorite songs gives you the musical vocabulary, and learning how to compose helps you understand how to use it. Whether you are strumming a famous chord progression or writing your first original melody, that intersection is where the real explosion in your learning tapestry happens. Every student naturally benefits from both.

Teaching is my main profession, so I take my responsibility to your progress very seriously and treat our time together with absolute respect. At the same time, my teaching style is intentionally moderate and grounded. I avoid high-stress, overly intense approaches. My goal is simply to provide clear, reliable instruction at a steady, comfortable pace so you can build a musical vocabulary you genuinely enjoy using. "YOUR GROWTH IS AFTERALL MY MAIN INTEREST."

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.

You’ve Always Wanted to Play the Accordion. Let’s Make It Happen.
For you or for your child, it can start with one free lesson.

Maybe you’ve loved the sound of the accordion for years but never believed you could play it yourself.
Maybe you already own one, but online videos have left you with more questions than answers.
Or maybe you’re looking for a patient teacher who will help your child enjoy music and feel proud of their progress.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
You bring curiosity. I’ll bring guidance, encouragement, and a clear plan.

Hi, I’m Nikola Spasic, founder of Accordion Joy Academy, an ArtEZ Conservatory graduate, and a two-time winner of the Dutch National Accordion Competition.
I teach live, private online lessons that start with you, your experience, your musical taste, your pace, and the time you have available.
You don’t need to read music before starting. You don’t need to feel naturally talented. And you don’t need to have begun as a child.
We’ll build the skills together, one manageable step at a time.

Here’s how I’ll help you move forward.
Personal attention in every lesson. Ask questions, get feedback, and understand how to improve.
A clear practice plan. Know what to work on between lessons, with manageable goals that fit your routine.
Music you actually want to play. Classical, tango, folk, musette, movie themes, and more—adapted to your level.
Support you can revisit. Lesson recordings, demonstrations, and sheet music help you practise with confidence.
Patient guidance through the tricky parts. We’ll work on the bellows, bass buttons, and coordination without rushing.
Encouragement along the way. See your progress, celebrate small successes, and connect with fellow learners in my private accordion community.

For children, lessons make room for curiosity, repetition, and small achievements that build confidence. For adults, they offer a structured way to finally make music part of your life.
Your first simple song in 30 days, or your money back.
We’ll start with a song suited to your level and build towards playing it from beginning to end. If you don’t get there within 30 days, I’ll refund your money.
Your first step is a free one-on-one trial lesson, with no obligation to continue. We’ll talk about your goals, try some practical exercises, and discuss lesson options and prices.

Don’t have an accordion yet? Contact me first, and I’ll help you understand what to look for.
Send me a message saying, “I’d love to learn”, and tell me whether the lessons are for you or your child.
Let’s give that wish a place to start.

Do you make music at home, but always wanted to record a song for fun?

If you are learning how to play it, I have the gear to help you create and record a song, so you can share it with your friends and family, or just have it for yourself.
I can play a lot of instruments and create tracks to accompany you. You can write a song or make a recording of you playing something you are working on. Depending on your level and experience with music, it would be a great way to learn some music theory too.

I am Julia, a professional musician originally from Montreal, Canada. I have lived in the Netherlands for 4 years and have a Master's degree in Music. I compose, engineer, and perform music. I also love to teach, I have experience with ages 9 to 90. I want to get the song in your head out into the air.

Would you classify improvisation as composition or performance? Well actually it is both! When you improvise you are composing music on the spot, performing what you have made up at the same time as you have composed it.

For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease.

The key to success is understanding chords. Once you know how chords are formed and know what notes make up a few chords you will be well on your way towards being able to improvise. We will, therefore, start by ensuring a firm knowledge of certain chords. After this we will progress to improvising a simple melody over the top of these chords. The next stage is to start using notes that are not in the chord. The process is then open ended with emphasis on developing the melody.

If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session.

Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
