Guitar lessons for beginners to advanced students of all ages

From 96.64 C$ /h

I love teaching guitar, and I am good at it. Learning music is similar to learning a language. We learn by imitating the sounds that we hear. During this stage, I also incorporate proper technique; how the instrument should be held and how the strings should be strummed or plucked. Once the sound is adequately imitated, we look at influences and start developing vocabulary. Finally, I want to ensure the student can replicate these precise sounds. I do this by teaching the theory and reasoning behind the vocabulary.

Music and guitar is my passion. I love to share my passion with anyone wanting to learn. Thank you, hope to hear from you soon.

About Me

I am a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Before moving to the Netherlands in 2022, I taught 50 different students a week on a variety of instruments; guitar, piano, drums, ukulele, bass, and voice. In 2017, I received my bachelors in music from a conservatory called Webster University in the United States. During my studies I focused on jazz guitar and songwriting/composition. Before pursuing my bachelors, I studied vocal performance in Los Angeles at Musicians Institute. I started playing guitar 20 years ago and did not have any lessons until college in 2015. The method that I use to teach is the method that I intuitively used to teach myself throughout the years. Listening and imitating is SO important when learning an instrument. This is how I taught myself, and it is how I will teach you. Music is my north star. It's occupy so much of my being and has for the majority of my life. I love sharing my knowledge with students that are truly interested in music and guitar. I hope my enthusiasm is contagious and inspires you. The journey with the instrument is a lifelong endeavor. One that I am happy to accompany you along the way.

Cheers :)

Hallo allemaal!

I have been working for 12 years as a piano and music teacher (I started very very young, when I was 14 years old, because I always liked teaching): I have experience in private lessons and official state music schools, with children from 2 years and adults of all levels, both teaching individually and in groups. I have taught piano, music and movement for children, music theory, solfeggio and choir.

I finished my bachelor studies with the highest marks, I have experience as a concert performer and have won prizes in competitions and several scholarships prizes.

I hope to have the pleasure that we both learn by making music together, do not hesitate to contact me!
Flexible timetable and teaching adapted to the student's preferences

The way I teach actually depends entirely on the student. The way I explain the concepts, plan and structure the lessons and approach each subject all depends on whether the student is a beginner, intermediate or advanced, and whether he or she has some experience on the subject.

Each student has different needs and different abilities. It's just a matter of getting to know the student, in order to identify both the weaknesses and strengths on which to work.

My lessons are completely personalized.

Based on your level, your goals and the time you can spend on the clarinet, we will decide together what is the best option for you.

I offer several options: online or live class, the duration is from 30 minutes to 90 minutes and it can be every week or every two weeks.

Are you curious about the clarinet but don’t have one to play on? No problem! I’ve got you covered with a fully sanitized instrument ready for you.
Ready to start your clarinet journey or have questions? Send me a message and I’ll be happy to help!

In addition, there is the possibility, once you have learned something, to join our saxophone group. Making music together is not only fun, but also inspiring!

Want to unleash your inner jazz master? I think you probably wouldn’t find anyone better than me who could teach you jazz harmony, theory and really help you to progress in piano music by developing your own approach on piano. 😎 Don’t hesitate to reach out. :)

Have you always wanted to learn to play guitar, but are unsure if it's right for you? Or are you a beginner looking to develop your skills? My lessons are perfectly tailored to your level and goals.

During the lessons, we'll work on a balanced combination of technique and music theory. We'll play songs together on the guitar, while simultaneously gaining insight into their musical structure.

Once you have developed sufficient basic knowledge, we can move on to writing your own music and exploring improvisation.

In addition, I have references from previous students, so you get a clear idea of my approach and teaching quality.
