Translating the music from your head to your guitar! AMSTERDAM/ARNHEM Gitaarles

From 51.8 £ /h

The lesson can take many shapes and forms. The main benefit of learning with a teacher, rather than from a video or a book, is that each lesson can be different and tailored to your needs!

For example, you can bring a song you're trying or want to learn (recording or sheet music/tab) and we'll work on it together. You can come with a specific problem like a part or technique you cannot get right. Maybe you are just in a place where you don't know what to do next. Don't worry, I'll help you set your musical voyage on course. Finally, if you don't want or feel like bringing anything, you just want to come and have fun playing and talking about music — that's also great!

Here are the examples of different problems I can help you solve:

• arranging songs you like on the guitar,
• improving technique by playing music you like,
• upgrading the campfire chops,
• composing indie lines and sounds, talking about pedals,
• learning to improvise,
• learning music theory,
• learning jazz standards,
• basics of recording, making demos, and backing tracks.

About Me

My name is Piotr, I am a Polish guitarist living in the Netherlands. I studied guitar and music first at the University of Arts in Graz, Austria, and then did my master's degree at Conservatorium van Amsterdam (jazz guitar).

I believe a word that describes me the most accurately as a guitarist and musician is versatile. I have a lot of experience playing and making various styles of music: jazz, classical, alternative pop/rock, electronic. Besides leading my own band, I've been working with many professional jazz groups, have been a member of a rising alternative rock band, and part of a classical chamber opera as a classical guitarist. Well, you might think 'jack of all trades, master of none'. My experience is that in music it's quite the opposite. Each project let me learn more about guitar, understand music in a broader sense, and actually make me an overall better musician.

Experience / Qualifications

In my life, I have taken countless music lessons. From private small-town guitar teachers, and university professors to star musicians. I have experienced countless teaching approaches and the way I do it is a mix of what I found interesting in all of them. Having studied both jazz and classical guitar I have the tools to help the students both with conceptual (abstract) and methodological aspects of the learning process.
