Learn Guitar with an Experienced Singer-Guitarist – Fun, Friendly, and Flexible! 🎸🎤
Hi there! My name’s Duncan, and I’m a passionate singer-guitarist, performer, and teacher originally from London, now living in beautiful Zurich. I’ve spent years playing, singing, and performing in London’s vibrant music scene, and I’d love to share my experience and love for music with you.

Whether you’re an absolute beginner or looking to refine your skills, my lessons are tailored to your goals and pace. We’ll work on everything from learning your favorite songs to exploring techniques, improvisation, and even a little music theory – all while keeping it fun and inspiring!

I can also help you explore pedals, effects, and looping, guide you in choosing the right guitar, and even assist with recording your demos – giving you everything you need to grow and develop as a musician.

I offer lessons in English at my home in Zurich or at yours – whichever feels more comfortable for you. Flexibility is key, and I’ll do my best to fit around your schedule.

A little about me: I’ve been playing guitar and singing for over 20 years, performed at various venues across London, and taught students of all levels and ages. Whether you’re aiming to jam with friends, write your own music, or just strum and sing along to your favorite tunes, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

🎶 Ready to start your guitar (and maybe singing!) journey? Feel free to drop me a message. Let’s make music together!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Duncan

My lessons are aimed at people of all ages and levels who enjoy music in all its facets – from classical to jazz, pop/rock, blues and folk to improvisation.
I recently completed my Master's degree in Music Education and have over five years of teaching experience. I tailor each lesson to the individual interests and goals of my students. Together, we define personal learning objectives, which we work towards step by step – in the areas of technique, ear training, and music theory as the unifying language of music.
Lessons are available in German, English, or Arabic. I look forward to accompanying you on your musical journey and discovering the world of the clarinet together!

My name is Marie and I'm originally from Paris. I began my music studies at the age of 5 and then studied flute with F. Chatoux, the principal flutist of the Paris Opera. After receiving the highest study award at the Conservatoire à Rayonnement Régional de Paris from N. Rozat, I joined P. Grehl's class in music at the HSLU Lucerne in the summer of 2018. In the summer of 2021, I completed my bachelor's degree with Pirmin Grehl in Lucerne and am currently completing my music education studies at
Pirmin Grehl with a minor in orchestra under Sarah Rumer. I have won first prize twice in national competitions in France and Switzerland.

I would like to pass on my passion and skills to everyone who wants to play this wonderful instrument, whether to support the teacher at the conservatory or for your own enjoyment.
I adapt to each individual's personality, their musical wishes for the repertoire and their goals.
I will accompany you as far as you wish, with fun with music, hard work and a good mood!

I have 10 years of experience in being a music instructor. That's not only piano lessons, it's also a theory of music, history of music, and vocal and orchestral projects.

I've worked with students from all around the world - most of them attended the American School of Warsaw and the British School of Warsaw. The idea is not only to teach how to play the right notes and to know the main composers, but I also want my students to feel the music, to be able to find out what the idea of an art piece is. It is also very important for me to encourage a child to find his own style of playing. From my point of view, there are no people deaf to music, just people who aren’t acquainted with music, till now!

It is well known that music classes are not only pleasant but as well music classes are very helpful and important in a child’s education and development. Kids who play instruments learn languages faster and more productively, focus better, and it has been shown to perform better in math and science. My own experience and that of my students show me that music has a positive effect on a student's overall education results.

Moreover, music is not just an art, it is the language of the soul, waiting to speak for your child's feelings and moods.

Love – is a very important component of the human happiness. And my goal and duty as a Music teacher is to develop and protect Love towards Music in every student’s heart. I’m looking forward to meet the new students who are looking for the joyful and fruitful studies of Music, holding such a beautiful instrument, as Guitar.

All styles of playing will be offered, including jazz, blues, funk, classical, fingerstyle, and modern improvisation; and you will be encouraged to focus or branch out as you wish.

Hello! I offer professional guitar lessons for electric, acoustic, classical, and ukulele in a friendly, stress-free atmosphere for both beginners and advanced players. I've been teaching for about six years and have been involved with the instrument for over twelve years.

I'm a finalist in global competitions and a winner in national contests, both as a solo artist and in groups.

Whether you're taking your first steps or need help with technique and theory, you've come to the right place! I approach the instrument comprehensively. We can work on specific styles: technical prog metal playing, rock, jazz standards, blues, classical, fingerstyle. I also have significant knowledge of recording and guitar processing in DAW software and can assist in that area as well.

Online lessons via Skype, Zoom, Google Meets

During lessons, we mainly focus on:

Developing proper playing technique,
Playing songs you enjoy,
Improvisation,
Mastering music theory,

Guitar course for children and teenagers
This course is ideal for children and young people and has five main objectives:

Learn Chords: You will learn basic and advanced chords that will give you a strong foundation for playing the guitar.

Developing a sense of rhythm: We work on developing a good sense of rhythm so that you can play your favorite songs in time and with feeling.

Mastering Fingerstyle Techniques: Instead of using a pick, you'll learn to play with your fingers. This method will help you develop a more expressive and versatile playing style.

Practicing Arpeggios: We practice fingerstyle arpeggios to get beautiful, clear sounds out of your guitar.

Reading and Playing Melodies: You will learn to read and play melodies, which will help you express yourself musically and experience the joy of making music.

I aim to make my lesson fun and engaging while incorporating the essential theory and musicianship skills needed to provide a well-rounded musical education. Each student is different, so I therefore create an individual curriculum for each one, allowing them to learn at their own pace while playing music they enjoy!

Lessons take place near Hardbrücke or at the student's location. I know that piano lessons are a big financial commitment, so I offer a trial lesson so we can get a chance to know each other and see if we are the right fit!

Lessons take place in English, Greek(Native Language) or German!
Do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions!

Have you ever secretly dreamed of playing the piano? Whether you’re just starting out or returning to the keys after many years, now is the perfect time to begin!

With years of experience across genres and in professional music education, I’m committed to helping each student grow in confidence, technique, and musical understanding – all while keeping lessons engaging, inspiring and fully adapted to your level, interests, and goals.
