Level-up your guitar plucking with Yvette!!! Learn Guitar the RIGHT WAY!!!

From 65 £ /h

Have you been trying to teach yourself the guitar and still find it a pain to play? Or have you been taking lessons and still feel restricted and unhappy? Do not fear, Yvette (she/her) is here to help! With my classes, not only will you learn to play with ease, you will also be able to crack the code of music, so you will understand how notes, chords, rhythm and music theory relate to each other. You will no longer be simply playing through mindless memorization or repetition. You will also learn how to listen to yourself and recognize when you have played well, and when you have made mistakes.
Although I am classically trained, I started guitar playing rhythmic music, such as nirvana and the beatles, and I still have a deep understanding of the style and have taught it for years. I aim to teach guitar the right way, without taking short cuts that limit knowledge and development later on. I have a personalised approach to each student, refusing to force them to play exactly as I do, but helping them to refine their own innate technique. To that end, I create my own exercises for my students, compiling the best from the existing literature, and am working to creating my own guitar method book.

Hi there!

My name is Darius , I am from Germany and I am studying my Master's at the Rythmic Music Conservatory in "Music Performance".

I've been playing the piano since the age of 5 years and I started teaching when I was 14 years old. I have experience teaching all levels, including young childres (>6) and adults of all age - teaching privately and in music schools ever since.

I can offer basic to intermediate teaching in classical related and pop related piano / keyboards. Having a jazz background myself I can offer jazz lessons from basic to expert which might include preparing for auditions. I am very open to the interests of my students, but my only requirement is to take some time for people call "practising" - or just making yourself a nice time with music :)

I also offer other music related teaching in music theory, "ear training", production etc. on all levels.

I believe that we should do stuff that you're interested in. Maybe you'd like to learn this beautiful classical piano piece? Or you would like to play jazz piano? Or you'd like to accompany yourself on the piano? Anything is possible :)

I also believe that lessons should not be work that you need to do or be good at... For me it's all about fun, creativity, imagination, and taking a break, relaxing, expressing, listening, experiencing, getting more sensitive.. enjoying music both listening to it and playing it yourself :)

If you're interested, you can listen to my music in my hiphop/jazz band "Bokoya"!

Lessons would take place at Rythmic Music Conservatory in Holmen (Bus 2A from Christianshavn) or (within a reach of 1052) in your home. Timing is pretty flexible. Let's meet each other :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

GuitarMap is a book I've penned, with plenty of shortcuts to understand harmony and how it works in guitar, piano, ukulele, bass, etc. Lessons are based on the book, which makes it easy to keep track of progress.

If you are interested in enjoying music and want to improve your technique, I can guide you in yours studies.

From beginner flute to entrance exam preparation. We'll work on sound, technique, expressiveness, and repertoire, as well as how to incorporate these elements into your practice routine.

If you're interested in improvisation and modern music, we'll cover styles such as jazz standards—essential for playing at jam sessions—as well as swing, blues, and rhythm changes. I also specialize in Brazilian music, Cuban son, and Latin styles.

We'll look at modern music theory, transcriptions, harmonic analysis, and how to develop your creative process for improvisation.

A bit about me: I studied classical flute at the conservatory in Alicante, Spain. Later, I attended the SedaJazz school in Valencia. I also studied sound engineering—so I can help you with your productions and recordings too. I've collaborated with various musical groups, especially in Brazilian music and Cuban son.

It doesn't matter what your taste or current skill level is; we'll explore what you want so that music can serve the purpose it has in your life. If you want to learn how to play the piano, you will receive guidance on technique and interpretation to the degree that you find useful. If you want to better understand how music works, we will cover the basics of music theory and go further if you'd like. Finally, if you want to create music, whether that's producing it in a DAW or composing a piece of classical music, I'll give you all the tools you need to express yourself.
