I am a Canadian classical guitarist and guitar instructor offering lessons in either English or Dutch. I am primarily educated and professionally active in classical guitar, but I teach in a variety of styles and genres. Every student has different goals, backgrounds, and abilities, so I teach each student with a custom-made approach. I work to help students develop strong guitar technique, musical knowledge, and literacy, and to be able to achieve their own goals with whatever music they want to learn and play.I have years of teaching experience, both in Canada and the Netherlands, so I am comfortable working with students of different ages and levels. I hold a bachelor of music degree and a master of music degree from the University of British Columbia. I am currently pursuing a second master's in guitar performance at Conservatorium Maastricht.
I can teach in-home lessons or lessons at my studio, the price will vary depending on location, please contact me for exact pricing.

About Me
Michael is a Canadian classical guitarist who performs a variety of music, re-imagining historic and new works on the instrument. Michael fell in love with the classical guitar because of the variety of colors and textures available in its rich repertoire, and that’s what he strives to share with audiences around the world. He has performed as a soloist and chamber instrumentalist across Canada, the northwestern United States, and the Netherlands, and has been heard in solo recitals for guitar societies from Ottawa to Vancouver and the Tri-cities. He has been a soloist with the Ambrose Chamber Orchestra and the Calgary Arts Orchestra and has performed chamber music alongside artists such as Jonathan Crow and Joseph Johnson. Michael works to expand the repertoire for the classical guitar, both through transcription and commissioning new music, which is why he gravitates especially towards modern, contemporary, and baroque music. His debut CD ‘Sketches’, recorded in 2015, includes new music written for Michael by Toronto-based composer William Beauvais. In September of 2019, he will be performing a tour of concerts alongside the Canadian guitarist and composer Nathan Bredeson, where he will premiere new music he has commissioned in a program of all Canadian music for guitar. He also performs in Duo Tinüviel with soprano Jessica Turje, including in 2018 for the Mountain View International Festival of Chamber Music and Song. Aside from their regular performances in the Netherlands, they will be going in July of 2019 to perform and take part in the Camino Artes Guitar workshop in Carrion de Los Condes, Spain. Michael currently lives and teaches in Utrecht, the Netherlands, while he studies at Conservatorium Maastricht with Carlo Marchione.Ask a question

Electric, Acoustic, Classical guitar lessons in Jazz, Rock, Blues, Pop, classical, eastern traditional folk music. Composition, singing.Hello there! My name is Vasilis and I am a jazz/rock/eastern traditional and classical guitar player, singer and songwriter currently studying as a 3rd year student in the Jazz and Pop guitar department of HKU conservatory. I am coming from Greece where I graduated from my first bachelor on classical guitar and the last three years I live, study, work and play in Utrecht.
My teaching career started very early, 12 years ago when my classical guitar teacher let me teach my first student and since then I have worked in multiple music schools and in private lessons with students of every age. This year I also started giving my first band coaching group lessons.
In my lessons I try to create a learning path that is formed arround the interests and taste of each student. Since I am a singer and songwriter the lessons can also focus on the creating part of music if of course the student is interested in that. I work with empathy and sensitivity arround the needs of each student.
As for my playing career, I play with multiple bands on original songs of mine or covers in different venues and festivals in Europe. The genres differ between pop, jazz, rock, eastern traditional and blues so I can give a big variety of stylistic directions to each student.
Last but not least, I am also a singer and because of my good performance in school, I was awarded from the HKU Conservatory the oportunity to follow the vocal curriculum of the school as well. So I can help you with singing too!

Classical Guitar methods and techniques, repertoire and basic theoryI have been playing Classical Guitar for 14 years. I have always practiced the greatest repertoire from Ancient Music (Dowland, Sanz, Bach), Modern and Contemporary (Paganini, Tarrega, Villa-Lobos, Brouwer) while experimenting other genres (Blues, Rock, Ragtime, Progressive, Pop) and composing music myself.
My goal is to valorise an activity that is both methodical and rigorous as well as creative and entertaining as Music itself.

- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.
THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
