Fun and Structured Guitar Lessons in English for Beginners and Beyond

From 67.82 C$ /h

These guitar classes are taught in English and are tailored to your individual goals, level, and musical taste. Whether you’re a complete beginner or an intermediate player looking to improve technique and confidence, the lessons are designed to be practical, structured, and enjoyable.

We’ll focus on building a strong foundation while playing real music from the start. Lessons can include chords, strumming, fingerstyle, scales, rhythm, timing, music theory explained simply, and learning songs you actually want to play. If you’re interested in songwriting, improvisation, or understanding how music works on the guitar, those areas can also be explored.

Each class is adapted to your pace and interests, with clear exercises and guidance so you know exactly what to practice between lessons. The aim is not just to play songs, but to help you become an independent guitarist who understands the instrument and enjoys playing it.

Classes are suitable for adults and older teens, and can be held online or in person. No previous experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to play

About Me

I’m a passionate and patient music teacher with over 15 years of experience as a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and educator. I believe learning music should feel motivating, structured, and enjoyable, not intimidating. My teaching style is friendly but focused. I aim to help students build real skills while enjoying the process of making music.

I adapt my lessons to each student’s goals, whether that’s learning songs, improving technique, understanding music theory, or gaining confidence with the instrument. I enjoy teaching beginners who are just starting out as well as intermediate players who want to deepen their understanding and musicality.

Having worked with students of different ages and backgrounds, I value clear communication, encouragement, and consistency. I especially enjoy teaching motivated adults and teens who want a practical, modern approach to guitar and music learning. Lessons are taught in English and can be structured or flexible depending on what works best for you.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I have a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar from Leeds College of Music although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk, and indie music.

In lessons, I aim to get students to play something they know as soon as possible in order to get excited about progress early on. We balance this with paying attention to proper technique and having one eye on the theory behind what we are playing to broaden your understanding of how music works.

I am actively engaged in playing within the music scene and have a real excitement for all types of music, whether it’s learning your first chords on guitar or working on improvisation or music theory. We'll go at the right pace for you and achieve your goals together.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition for adults. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions.

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons that push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

(German version further down)

I enjoy teaching because it requires a deeper knowledge of the material than if one is only performing music. I am continuously learning too.
I do not think that it is important how old you are or in what environment you grew up.
To engage with music as a result of learning an instrument can bring your brain into a healthy state of ongoing change.
People who are "without any talent" for music do not exist. Everyone can engage with music and enjoy it.

I can teach piano:
- involving sheet music or not, depending on what you prefer.
- or/and music theory lessons
- or/and improvisation
- or/and Jazz
- or/and Ear Training
- or/and Composition.

The lessons can be held in English or German or a mixture of both.
I teach close to Friedrichstraße in Berlin. The lessons can be done via Skype too.

You can read about me as a performing musician here:
Julius (*1995) is a German pianist and composer, graduated from the University of Arts Berne in Switzerland in 2017 with honors.
In July 2019 he finished his Masters in the European Jazz Masters Program through the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen with exchange semesters in Berlin and Amsterdam.
Throughout his studies, he was lucky enough to receive artistic guidance from Colin Vallon, Django Bates, Harmen Fraanje, Simon Toldam, Peter Bruun, Greg Cohen, and Michael Moore.
Julius was granted a scholarship by Lyra Stiftung Zürich in 2015 and 2016. Tours with his own bands have been supported by different fundings from Switzerland and Germany.
He performed all across Europe during the past years.

German:

When teaching, it's important to have a deeper understanding of everything than when "just" making music. I'm always learning as a teacher.
It doesn't matter how old you are or whether you grew up in a music-rich or music-poor environment. Engaging with music can put our brains into a healthy state of constant change and growth.
There are no people who are "talentedless" when it comes to music. Everyone can engage with music and enjoy it.

I offer lessons with or without sheet music, depending on your preference. If you're interested, I also teach music theory, improvisation, jazz, ear training, and composition.

Classes are held in German or English, or a mixture of both. I teach near Friedrichstrasse in Berlin. Classes can also be held via Skype.

Here is an insight into my musical work:

Julius (*1995) is a German pianist and composer working in the fields of jazz and improvised music. He completed his bachelor's degree at the Bern University of the Arts in 2017 with distinction. In July 2019, he completed the European Jazz Masters at the Rytmisk Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, with exchange semesters at the Jazz Institute Berlin and the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.

In 2015 and 2016, he received a scholarship from the Lyra Foundation in Zurich. His bands' tours have been regularly supported by German and Swiss foundations in recent years.
Julius has played concerts all over Europe in recent years.

My name is Tomasz, I have been a guitarist (also a composer and singer) for 30 years and have also been a guitar teacher for over 25 years.

Due to the current situation, I offer you online guitar lessons via Skype. I have a lot of experience teaching via Skype and a lot of happy students.

Many are surprised to see that grasping and plucking can be perceived better and learned faster via Skype. How is that possible?
It happens thanks to the fact that I use three cameras. They are set so that the perspective of seeing changes. The student sees the guitar on the screen from the same perspective from which he sees his own guitar.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Tomasz

After successfully completing his music studies (Music Bachelor), he won a grant from the Brazilian government and emigrated to the Netherlands to take up postgraduate studies at the Rotterdam Conservatory with Prof. Vladimir Mendelssohn. He received his Masters in Solo Performance and Chamber Music with Honors. His diverse musical activities have taken him - both as a soloist, chamber musician and teacher - on concert tours to Brazil, Portugal, France, Germany, Austria, Eastern Europe, North Africa and Asia.
Jadenir lived in Vienna from 2007 to 2016. There he performed between 2005 and 2010 as principal violist of the “Spirit of Europe” chamber orchestra, in which he was also a member of the artistic advisory board and was involved in planning-relevant decisions on artistic and organizational issues. He also played in the RSO Vienna and the Ambassade Orchestra Vienna.
Jadenir has lived and worked in Berlin since 2016. With chamber music as the center of his life, he founded several ensembles with different line-ups in 2017. In addition to his artistic activity, viola lessons have been an important part of his life for many years. As a viola teacher, he has been in close contact with music festivals and music schools since 2007, especially those that are dedicated to social projects.

About my viola lessons

I offer dynamic and playful lessons. The goal of my lessons is to break the barrier between music and technology, so these are not taught separately from each other. Rather, I see technology as the merging of movement, breathing and sound.
Beginners and advanced learners of all ages from 10 years are welcome. I convey all kinds of music, their style and technique. I am happy to help advanced students prepare for entrance exams, auditions, auditions and competitions. I also offer coaching for chamber music ensembles.
The key to successful viola lessons lies in a transparent and open exchange: I therefore encourage the students to share their needs and expectations; and the family is also involved in their musical development.
My two main instruments were made especially for me and I was able to exchange ideas with the violin makers during the instrument making, which gave me extensive knowledge of the manufacture, setup and care of a string instrument. I am also happy to pass on my knowledge to my students in this area. Because with the growing understanding of the acoustics of the viola, one's own playing technique and trust in the instrument develop.
English, Portuguese, Spanish or Italian are also possible as the language of instruction.

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello ! My name is Wassim I am a guitar teacher recently arrived to berlin, and I’m thrilled to List this class !
With 14 years of playing guitar and 5 years of teaching all ages (starting from 8 years old), I’ve developed a knack for making learning fun and engaging for my students.

I’ve recently written a book called "Modern Method of Learning Guitar," which will be published soon. It sums up my teaching philosophy and the program I’ve created over the years. I focus on interactive lessons that help students come out of their shells and really enjoy the process of learning music.

I co-founded a music school that’s been really successful back in my home town, Algeria. We had many students who all gave us positive feedback and achieved great results. And I can confidently say that while I don’t have an academic degree in music, my hands-on experience and deep love for music have more than prepared me for this role.

I’m a sociable person who loves creating a welcoming classroom environment. Seeing students grow in confidence and skill is the best part of my job. I’m excited about the possibility of bringing my passion and experience e to your learning process.

Thanks for considering my class ! I’d love to chat more about how I can contribute to your music Journey.

Dear music lovers,
I am a concert pianist and piano teacher and offer piano lessons with home visits.

I think it is important to see music studies as a complex education in close relationship with other arts. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, with the diverse and deep insight into the world of classical music you will feel freer and, what's more, be able to express yourself much better. I use a mixture of the classical Russian piano school, European heritage and the individual repertoire selection that is unique for each student.
For these reasons, I teach young people from about 15 years of age with no upper age limit.

Give yourself the chance to spread your possibilities!

Hi!

Have you ever dreamed of strumming your guitar to your own original songs, feeling that electric thrill of creating something truly yours? My name is Aleksi and I am a Berlin based guitar teacher, singer, musician and professional songwriter. I am offering private guitar lessons (EN) with an added focus on songwriting. With me you can learn techniques like:

🎸 Guitar Mastery: From basic chords and fingerpicking to advanced techniques like soloing and singing and playing at the same time. I'll help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be.

📝 Songwriting Skills: Unleash your creativity and learn how to craft songs that resonate. From writing legendary lyrics to creating memorable melodies, I'll help you find your unique voice.

Whether you are a beginner (looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to even start) or an experienced player (playing the same chords over and over again wondering what the next step is); my lessons are open to everyone with a love of music and a willingness to learn.

Lessons are provided in my dedicated home studio room near Sonnenallee.

I am really looking forward to hearing about you and what you are looking to learn!

Music Lessons – Harmony, Improvisation & Ear Training
(Berlin – in person)

I am a musician and music teacher based in Berlin.
Guitarist, composer and improviser with over 25 years of experience, trained as a Musikpädagoge, I combine artistic practice with a teaching approach focused on deep musical understanding.

Who the lessons are for:

Intermediate and advanced musicians who want to move beyond patterns and automatisms and truly understand what they are playing.

How I work:

• We always start from concrete musical situations (playing, listening, improvising).

• Harmony is explored through functions, tensions, modal systems, modal interchange and alterations.

• Theory is treated as a practical tool, not as an abstract set of rules.

• Ear training is fully integrated into the practice.

• Improvisation is approached as harmonic thinking in action, with direct application to composition.

Approach:

My path, shaped through listening, composition and in-depth harmonic study, is reflected in a method that aims to reduce the distance between theory and practice while developing musical autonomy.

Each learning path is personalized; I do not follow standardized programs.
Musical notation is not central — the focus lies primarily on listening and functional understanding.

Lessons take place in person in Berlin.
No online lessons and no home visits.
Languages: English / German / Italian.
