(Italiano sotto) The first concert I ever went to was Metallica when I was 14. As a teenager I loved rock and metal and spent hours and hours practicing to become better and play those cool guitar solo's. When I turned 17 I really started to like classical Spanish music, playing the likes of Francisco Tárrega and Antonio de Lucena. For the past few years I have focused more on guitarists like John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Jason Mraz and other more mainstream western-style artists. With 14 years of experience playing solo and in a band, and 6 years of teaching experience at high schools and universities, I am convinced I can teach you a thing or two about the 6-string ;). If you are interested in learning any of these styles, or you just want to get started on the basics, I would love to help you become the guitarist you want to be! Il primo concerto a cui sono andato è stato quello dei Metallica, quando avevo 14 anni. Da adolescente amavo il rock e il metal e passavo ore e ore a esercitarmi per diventare più bravo e suonare quei fantastici assoli di chitarra. A 17 anni ho iniziato ad apprezzare la musica classica spagnola, suonando brani di Francisco Tárrega e Antonio de Lucena. Negli ultimi anni mi sono concentrato maggiormente su chitarristi come John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Jason Mraz e altri artisti occidentali più mainstream. Con 14 anni di esperienza da solista e in una band e 6 anni di insegnamento in scuole superiori e università, sono convinto di potervi insegnare qualcosa sulla 6 corde ;). Se siete interessati ad imparare uno di questi stili o se volete solo iniziare con le basi, mi piacerebbe aiutarvi a diventare il chitarrista che volete essere! Sto lavorando molto sul mio italiano, e ora parlo italiano a livello B2, ma a volte ho bisogno di un po' di tempo per pensare quando parliamo :)

Hi! My name is Melina and I am a passionate pianist and piano teacher with Master degree in Piano Performance, offering personalized piano lessons tailored to your musical goals and individual pace. Whether you are an absolute beginner or looking to advance your piano playing skills, my lessons blend proper technique, music theory with classical music repertoire to help you progress. Book a session today to start your musical journey! Five years of experience working with children from year 4 to adult professionals and adult beginners.

My approach is to help you develop your ears so they become the main instrument for your music journey. That applies to guitar, piano, etc. I teach you to learn theory as map for your musical journey and not as strict rules to follow. I teach you to teach yourself.

Every lesson is one-to-one and built around your voice, not a fixed method. We start by listening: what your voice does well, where it tightens, and what you want from singing. Then we work on the foundations that change everything: breathing that supports rather than pushes, releasing tension in the throat and jaw, and finding a tone that is free and your own. A typical lesson begins with a warm-up tailored to you, moves into technical work, and then applies it to a song you want to sing. You leave with a few clear exercises to practise, never a long list. I work especially well with adult beginners who have always believed they can’t sing, choir singers who want more freedom and stamina, people returning to singing after many years, and performers preparing for auditions and concerts. Classical, musical theatre and popular styles are all welcome.
