About Me

i started guitar at the age of 14, with my heart open to rock music. Soon enough I realized I needed a teacher and so I started lessons in classical guitar, which I fell in love with. Eventually I decided to become serious with the guitar and took on the path of life-long study of this instrument, which brought me to many places and introduced me to many people.
Sharing this knowledge has also become a goal of mine, lately, because i realized there is no better way to learn, but together. So I have been sharing everything I know about the guitar with people in the last few years.
I love jazz, rock, classical, electronic, world and basically all the music that sounds good to me! I have been exploring also music production, composition, arranging and other aspects of the music makiing. If there is anything I can help you with, I gladly would!
I speak English, Bulgarian and Dutch (still not completely fluent, but already able to teach in that language).

With 20 years of experience as a guitar teacher and as a professional musician, I like to pass on my passion for the guitar to others.
I teach at all levels; from beginners to advanced, and specialize in jazz, flamenco, classical, bossa nova, rock, funk and metal.
On the basis of the level of the student I make a program that suits them, including learning songs with chords, playing riffs, rhythm theory, speed, improvisation, specific techniques, transcription of solos.
I also teach entire bands, using control so that they can play well together.

See you soon !

Piano, harmony, music theory, aural training, arrangements and composition dedicated teacher. Vast experience with different ages and levels, preparation for international exams, auditions and competitions.

"I am a superior piano professor and I have started teaching in Buenos Aires, Argentina, my home country, 8 years ago. Recently I was living in London, UK, where I worked as a full-time piano teacher in WKMT Piano Institute where I have trained and developed my pedagogic skills working with students from all around the world. This experience allowed me to mentor from professionals to early ages with very diverse backgrounds. These are the kind of experiences worth working for, and that confirm my engagement to my pedagogic aims.
Building structures that fight to give a voice to the speechless is one of the values I learnt to care the most as a working woman, and that is the reason why I feel engaged with teaching music. Music is a tool to learn a whole different language and improve intelligence and creativity, no matter which is your background. Music is a way of finding how to express yourself in a specific language, and it is at the same time a fun and fascinating process. As a music teacher, I face a challenge every time I train a student, because learning music and learning piano implies a very personal developement.
I continued this project in Rotterdam, Netherlands, where I became a Master of Music in World Music (Tango-Jazz Composition) at CODARTS University. I intend to keep sharing my knowledge and experience with new students."

I specialize in teaching about Music and how to play the Guitar.
In class, I always make an effort to understand what are the goals and interests of all students, as well as their skills. This way we can address the issues at hand more effectively and make sure the student never loses his/her interest and focus in music and his/her instrument. I believe that an honest and friendly relationship between teacher and student is essential for this exchange of ideas to happen more clearly and fluently, so I do my best to make everyone feel comfortable enough to share their thoughts freely.
I offer good and personalized classes. This means that there will be special care with your interest in music and guitar, all basic skills will be worked upon and strengthened, all specific requests and ideas will be addressed, both improvisation and interpretation can be developed, and exploring potential, achieving goals and having fun are main priorities.
Come and enjoy learning more about Music and Guitar!

We can organize the lessons in a way that suit to the student needs. Them can be of one hour, thirty minutes, once a week or two weeks. I usually like spending some additional time in case by talking about music, students goals and their achievements.

During the bass lessons we are gonna deal with:
- left and right hand technique
- scales, arpeggios and chords
- Jazz accompaniment
- Improvisation
- sight reading
- harmony related to the instrument

I also teach harmony, composition and arranging lessons starting from the concept of "interval" and "motif" to arranging for big band.

Get into and explore the world of classical music through violin and viola !!

Dear music lovers,

I'm a professional violin and viola player who teaches students of all ages and levels.
During my musical education I had the opportunity to study in different conservatories in Spain, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands and Switzerland, awakening in me a passion for teaching the violin and viola and thus beginning to give private lessons and coaching youth orchestras.

In my lessons I help the student to feel enjoyment while playing, and feel happy with their instrument in order to connect with their musical imagination.
Considering the level and age, different methods and exercises will structure the lesson in order to get good aural skills, sense of rhythm and an optimal body posture.

Not only interested in classical music?
The stable technical base you will reach during the lessons will give you the tools to feel free and comfortable playing in other styles with your instrument.

Don't miss this opportunity!

I am an italian bass player, I'm 25 years old and actually I am finishing the last year of my bachelor in jazz music at Codarts. If you're a beginner i will teach you the basics of the instrument and the basics of musical theory (wich is essential to be a good bass player). We will also dive into various musical genres, trying to have a complete approach to music as possible. If you already play bass and want to improve your skills or your knowledge of musical theory i will teach you some advanced techniques and focus on advanced harmony and studies for improvisation. We will also work on finding your own voice on the instrument and learning how to create original basslines

Hi there! If you are looking for a patient, experienced, and passionate guitar teacher, look no further! I am here to help you achieve your musical goals and discover the joy of making music!

In my lessons, I focus on guitar posture, technique, sound, timing and rhythmic feel, strumming and grooves, music theory, improvisation, and repertoire. But my most important task as a teacher is to motivate my students and help them on their musical journey. The best lesson you can get is the one that after you can't wait to get home to practice! I also provide video material to make homework easy.

I'm a skilled and experienced guitar teacher based in Rotterdam. With a Bachelor's degree in Jazz from the Conservatory of Rotterdam and a diploma in music education from the Conservatory of The Hague, I've been teaching music for 10 years and have extensive stage and didactic experience in many different styles such as jazz, funk, pop, rock, acoustic, world music, and more.

Wether you're a beginner or an advanced player, I can tailor my lessons to your individual needs and interests. My combination of skills, experience, and passion for teaching make my lessons unique and reliable, and I look forward to helping you take your playing to the next level!

My lessons take place in my studios in Rotterdam or The Hague. Together we can find the ideal time for you, I'm very flexible!

We will find your needs together and start working from that point. You can come with no experience at all and I will help you to explore and develop your voice. It's also not important if you cannot read music, I can help you with that as well. If you are already a singer, we will work in order to refine your technique.

Although I have the most experience with classical, I am able and I am glad to teach other styles!

Voice, breathing, and posture are connected and fundamental for a healthy technique so we will also work on that while we focus on your voice.

Singing can be very personal and confronting but do not fear, we work in a safe environment.
Let yourself be surprised with what you can achieve!!
The lesson can be in English, Spanish, Portuguese, or Italian.

Hello! My name is George and I'm a fourth year student in jazz guitar at the Codarts conservatory here in Rotterdam, though my guitar journey began at the age of nine. I have been teaching a variety of students of different ages and backgrounds for the passed two years.

My aim as a teacher is not to overwhelm students with theory and sight-reading. Instead, I prefer to teach you practical ways to develop your own musical interests. If you are beginner struggling to achieve clear,clean notes or play a full song in tempo I can show you the most effective way to achieve rapid results. If you are passed the beginner stage I can help you with my specialised knowledge in jazz, pop, blues and rock. If you are compitent up to a certain level but can't move out of your comfort zone I can help you move onwards and upwards.
