From 386 CNY /h

Hi!

My name is Diego, I am a guitarist and composer currently living in Berlin. I am offering guitar and music lessons to everyone interested in learning music, from beginners to advanced players who want to improve their skills. I find teaching very inspiring and challenging. My goal is to help you find your way in music so that you can improve and enjoy the process.
I have been a teacher in different schools and privately in the last years in Spain and Berlin. I have a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from the University of the Basque Country, Musikene (Spain).

Each person is different, so I adapt to the needs and interests of each one. We always work on things that are important to you. Along with this, there are certain topics that I consider necessary for further development:
guitar technique, rhythm, harmony, ear training, improvisation, composition, different languages (jazz, blues, rock, folk), and a repertoire suitable for the student.

I can give extra material to the students with videos or Pdf to work at home.

There's also the option of doing the lessons in Baumschulenstr (Treptow).
I can go to your location for an extra fee.

Online lessons are also available via Zoom or Skype

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Diego

The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

Piano is an incredible instrument to learn - it provides you with a broad understanding of music, develops listening skills, and great dexterity, increases concentration, and much more.
I specialize in jazz piano but teach all musical styles according to the student's needs and wishes. Throughout the lesson we will learn music and songs, technique, harmony, ear training, theory, and rhythm - all subjects of music can be addressed through the piano!

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.

I know what it means to feel like an eternal beginner. You learn new songs but you struggle each time there’s a new chord or a different strumming pattern. You would like to improve faster and you are not really sure if you are learning right.

Although you are playing, you don’t get the results that you want. This was the exact same thing that happened to me many years ago. I was playing but I didn’t really have a clear understanding of what I was doing.

It took me a while to understand that I had to invest in a high-quality teacher, not only someone who could play but also someone who had a background in teaching.

My guitar lessons are designed so that you acquire a solid music foundation from the beginning! I see too many new musicians simply copying from YouTube tutorials! I am afraid- that's not enough!
Whether you are a beginner or advanced player, you deserve to progress in your musical journey at the right place and in the right way.

Get in touch if you want to:

· Acquire a solid music foundation;
· Learn how to play iconic rock/alt-rock/blues/pop songs;
· Learn new groovy strumming patterns;
· Learn how to improvise;
· Experiment with new techniques;
· Understand and apply music theory concepts.

Through time I have found out that starting by playing songs chosen by the student and creating exercises to practice that came out from the drums of that song is a very good way to learn how to play the instrument. Also keeps things interesting, since music is always the focus. I can help to choose the songs, but the student is always who decides which songs to play. This way, lessons become 100% personalized!

I have +10 years of experience as a teacher, and I'm an active musician in the Berlin modern jazz, creative music and improvised music scenes.
Obtained my bachelor's degree in the Manuel de Falla Music Conservatory in Buenos Aires (ARG) and the European Jazz Master degree at NTNU Trondheim, RMC Copenhagen and JIB Berlin.

👂 My motto for teaching music: Learn with your ear, before understanding it with your brain.

Music can be explained entirely from a theoretical point of view 🤯. But I'm convinced that the best approach is to feel and sing the music 🎤💖, before understanding and interpreting it theoretically.

I teach music theory intuitively 💫. More than just a way of reading sheet music, I can show you how to deconstruct a piece of music in any genre, how to interpret chords, and how to improvise simply and effectively.

How to work the voice ? Practice ? Perform ? Compose ? Interpret a song ?
It's through technic but also practising songs from your favourite artists that you understand how to place your voice and sing your song and achieve your musical journey. Starting from the basics like breathing support, vocal routines, learning songs to practising stage presence, composition.
In my classes, I go through all this points and focus on what the student needs and wish to learn.

I had the chance to learn with the greatest Jazz singers of the New York scene. I studied, Jazz, Pop, Classical singing, which lead me to understand the voice in its full. For five years I focused on performing and touring with my different projects, and there I built my skills for the stage and being comfortable in front of a crowd.

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!

Playing the drums is both fun and very rewarding, but it also carries a significant amount of responsibility. The drummer is the backbone of any musical community, creating a vital foundation for the other instruments to thrive upon. With a wealth of exercises and content available online at your fingertips to study, I can offer you valuable, personalized advice on three key aspects: technique, time, and touch. I like to call them the 3Ts.

Technique: Playing the drums is physically demanding, requiring an awareness of proper posture to safely build the muscles needed to maintain a seamless flow of movement for hours on end.

Time: Keeping a steady pulse is the primary focus of being a drummer. We need to build up our confidence to consistently maintain the desired time, even under adverse conditions.

Touch: While presenting steady time, we need to open our awareness to make our beat feel good. It’s an attitude. It’s about being musical. This means using dynamics and personalizing our four limbs to create our own unique groove. This is where it gets deep.

I love teaching beginners. They usually can jump ahead quickly in a short time. There is no mystery. The way forward means dedicating a little (or a lot) of time daily to the drums. Even just 10 minutes a day can lead to significant improvements. That’s the secret.

I recommend using an intensive approach with the classes.

Beginners take 5 weeks of 60-minute classes to learn the basics and then continue working on your own, returning for follow-up “check-ups” as needed.
For intermediate-level students, I recommend a 90-minute class where I present a comprehensive overview, all tailored to your immediate needs. You then come back for more when the information has been digested.
For advanced-level students, the same. There is so much to cover that we can focus on very specific topics. Styles, the rudiments etc... I have a lot of experience with traditional jazz and the rudimental history behind the craft.

In the end, it's about creating time to connect with the drums every day. This connection is a wonderfully rewarding and grounding addition to our lives. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
