About Me
Hi, my name is Zac. I am a guitarist, songwriter and producer from Copenhagen with more than 15 years of experience teaching and performing. Over the years I have worked as a sideman for well-known Danish artists such as Burhan G, Julias Moon, Noah, Cisilia and Jørgen Klubien, while also building my solo career with 4 full-length album releases.

I grew up surrounded by instruments – my father Christian is known for building some of the world’s best bass guitars – and I started singing in the Copenhagen Royal Chapel Choir before forming my first blues/rock trio at the age of 12. Inspired by Prince, Stevie Wonder, George Benson and Jimi Hendrix, I developed a deep love for Funk, R&B, Jazz and Soul, which has shaped both my playing and my teaching.

Highlights from my career include:

Performing with members of Prince’s New Power Generation (John Blackwell Jr. & Morris Hayes) during Prince tributes in Copenhagen.

Sharing the stage with Larry Graham (Sly & The Family Stone, Graham Central Station).
Studio collaborations with Skyler Jett (ex-Commodores) and Wilton Rabb (Larry Graham & Graham Central Station).

Recording projects with international musicians such as MonoNeon and Gorden Campbell.
In my lessons, I combine this experience with a passion for helping students develop their own sound. You will learn not just the techniques – funk rhythm, soulful chords, jazz harmony, improvisation – but also how to play with feel, groove and personality.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already advanced, I will guide you in a way that is practical, inspiring and always centered around the music you love.

Hi,

My name is Can. I've been teaching guitar for 28 years at all levels. If you want to learn to play the most useful and popular instruments in the music world you can join my lessons.

You can play almost all kinds of genres with the guitar. It is the only string instrument which is really polyphonic. The guitar is like an orchestra. Every instrument of the orchestra is inside the guitar but in a smaller sound size. It has many different colors, many different timbres.

Besides teaching this awesome instrument I will also teach you using the programs that help to improvise, recording, and making music. I will give you books, etudes to develop your speed and precision in a short time. After being advanced we will study different genres like rock, blues, jazz, improvisation and solo transcriptions.

All levels are accepted.

I would give a piano lesson that would help improve the student's aural training, piano technique and musicality. Different levels of each student will be taken into account and catered to the student's musical interests and goals that they set when they start the piano lessons.
I'm a Suzuki trained piano player who learnt Kodaly from the age of 5 years old. Some singing may be used in lessons to help with the student's ear training.

Whether you are just starting to play the guitar or piano, or you are already an advanced musician interested in exploring complex compositional ideas and developing your own improvisational language, I am glad to help you in your musical journey. With seven years of teaching experience, I offer lessons for students of all ages and levels of advancement.

I focus on helping students develop both their instrumental skills and creative awareness. My teaching combines structure, intuition, and critical listening — whether we work on guitar technique, harmony, and phrasing, or on broader concepts of form, texture, and composition.

A typical session may include practical exercises on the instrument, analysis of selected works, guided improvisation, or composition tasks. Depending on your interests, we can also explore digital tools such as DAWs and live electronics.

My goal is to give students both technical precision and artistic freedom — helping each person build a deeper understanding of sound and their own musical identity.
