In these lessons you will learn how to study and play the piano. You can ask for specific pieces that you really want to play, or we can start togheter a training with exercises and pieces. I also teach sightreading (how to read a score!), how to play with singers or other musicians and solfeggio. Regarding composition, I can give you the first base and teach how to approach, how to analyse a piece, and how to train the ear, and a bit of harmony and contrapoint.

Hallo, Ich komme aus Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, und spiele Gitarre sehr gern!

Deutsch:

Von Anfänger bis University student, Ich kann dir E-Gitarre, Akustische Gitarre, oder Ukulele beibringen. Entweder ein paar Akkorde um deine Lieblingslieder zu spielen oder durch komplexerer Themen wie Jazz harmony. Ich lehre gern auch Musiktheorie/Komposition, also wenn du Theorie Nachhilfe oder Vorbereitung auf Universitätsprüfungen brauchst, dann kann ich dir damit auch helfen!

Englisch ist natürlich meine Muttersprache, aber ich würde gern auch auf Deutsch unterrichten!

English:

From beginner to university student, I can teach you electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or ukulele. Whether it's just a few chords to play your favourite songs or through more complex topics like jazz harmony. I also like to teach music theory / composition, so if you need theory tutoring or preparation for university exams, I can help you with that too!

With 16 years of guitar playing experience and Bachelors Degree in Jazz & Contemporary Popular music, I've had the opportunity to play Jazz, RnB, Folk/Singersongwriter, Bluegrass, Funk, Heavy Metal, Rock. From Jazz Bigbands and Musical Pitbands, to accompanying singer songwriters, to playing solo guitar concerts. I know how the guitar fits into many different types of ensembles and with many styles of music.

I'm now studying a Master of Jazz Composition and Arranging at KUG in Graz and I love to help others understanding complex musical theory and how it can be used to write new music! I love writing music for Bigband, Classical Chamber ensembles, and small jazz ensembles as well as for singer-songwriters.

English is of course my mother tongue but I would be happy to teach in German as well!

Welcome to my guitar courses!

I graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz with a bachelor's degree in jazz guitar and am currently pursuing a master's degree, which I expect to complete in 2026. Starting in 2025, I will also be studying IGP (instrumental and vocal pedagogy) in jazz guitar at the KUG.

With over 9 years of teaching experience – from my beginnings in Athens, Greece, to my current residence in Graz, Austria – I have worked with students of all ages and experience levels.

Every student is unique – therefore, lessons are individually tailored to your musical interests and goals.

What we can work on together in class:

1.Guitar & fretboard knowledge
Learn to truly understand your instrument – this will not only help you learn your favorite songs, but also help you make music creatively.

2.Song accompaniment
Develop your skills as a rhythm guitarist: chords, strumming and fingerstyle techniques, rhythmic patterns in different styles.

3. Improvisation
Especially essential in jazz – together we work on the necessary tools such as arpeggios, triads, theoretical basics and phrasing.

4.Rhythm training
Improve your sense of time and develop a solid rhythmic foundation – essential for any musical style.

5.Harmony, modern music theory & composition
Dive deeper into the structure of music and learn how to write your own pieces.

6. Playing technique
We work specifically on your technique – e.g. alternate picking, sweep picking, hybrid picking, legato, etc.

7.Repertoire
Learn songs and solos in your favorite style – whether rock, jazz, pop, funk, metal or more.

Whether you are just beginning or already advanced, I would be happy to support you in developing your full musical potential.

**Let's make music together!**

I am a cellist, composer and pianist from Chicago currently residing in Graz, Austria! I received my Bachelors in Cello and Composition in the USA from Indiana University and am currently pursuing my masters in Cello Konzertfach at Kunst Universität Graz. I have years of experience working as a private cello, piano and composition teacher. I am used teaching all levels, and have certification to teach string students as young as six years old from Indiana University's String Academy Program. In addition to teaching instrumental and composition lessons privately, I also have experience teaching music theory and aural skills as a graduate teaching assistant.

I adjust my teaching based on what you or your child would like to learn. From helping you learn to play a Bach cello suite, to Bohemian Rhapsody on piano, or get feedback and mentorship on your own compositions, I would be happy to play a part in your musical journey! :)

*Piano/Keyboard lessons for students of all ages

*If you are interested, there is the opportunity to take part in an audition evening at the end of the school year

* Lessons on request from pop to classical

*Units: Can be flexibly selected between 30 and 60 minutes

I believe it's important to look at the learning process holistically. I think you are the music itself. You bring all the wonderful and beautiful things about it with you. The guitar is the means of expression you've chosen, and WOW! It's definitely cool, and it's amazing that you're even taking this step and want to take it (more) seriously :)

So... simply learning scales and theory isn't my approach. (although there's no way around it haha)

Everything you experience and have experienced contributes to who you are and will become as a musician. It shapes your expression with and without a guitar, and above all, the way you learn.

So, of course, we look at the technique and playing styles, but just as importantly, we look at what aspects of mindset and personal development contribute to the musical development. A lot happens there :)

I would appreciate your trust.

Methodologically, we will work together to understand you and see how you prefer to learn and what you need to stay motivated and grow as a musician (and therefore as a person).

And if you don't know that yet, we'll find out together, slowly, step by step! :)

LET'S DO THIS! Woohoo!

Feel free to send me a message, no matter why!

All the best until then,

Cantata

My name is Giuseppe and I'm an Italian musician living in Graz.

Before moving, I worked as a guitar and music theory teacher at a music school, as I have a degree in electric guitar.

During my studies and my work as a player and teacher, I studied and played different types of music, from blues, rock, to the most extreme metal.

I am available for online and private lessons, but also as a session man in the studio or for concerts.

During the lessons we will deepen the different aspects and techniques of the instrument and combine practice and theory.

• Professional and personal coaching in all areas of electronic music production at your home or via Skype/Zoom
• Accompaniment, elaboration and development of your own music
• Analysis and feedback on existing tracks
• Building an album, including advice on promotion

I'm Jacob, graduate Composer and music producer and have coached more than 50 students in 6 years. Among them many who now publish regularly, such as Holger Rohmann, Robert Getzner and Mila Chiral.

I try to place special emphasis on musical approaches in my lessons.
How do I start, how do I turn my first idea into a whole track and how do I deal with form, harmony, melody and of course rhythm; are all questions that are dealt with in my classes.

Genre doesn't matter too much as my classes are more about composing electronic music in general. In contrast to the usual workshops, the individual lessons allow me to respond very precisely to individual needs and interests.

Are you interested about learning to play the French horn or trumpet? Would you like to hear more about brass instruments? Do you need help with improvisation? I would be honoured to get in contact with you.

In February, 2022 I graduated as a Jazz French horn player at the University of Music and Dance, Cologne in the class of Prof. Shannon Barnett, Hubert Nuss and Frank Gratkowski. Currently, I am doing my Master studies at the Kunstuniversität, Graz.
My activities reflect my passions in diverse musical styles including various settings from big band, symphonic music to contemporary, folk music and all things African.
My latest musical associations is my with my quartet, inspired by different cultural and musical elements. Through the freedom of composition and improvisation.

Hey, if you want to learn music and have fun at the same time, then this is the right course for you! As a qualified music theorist, I can offer you a wide variety of music theory courses, from reading and learning music notation for beginners to analysis for advanced students. As a student of music theory and composition pedagogy, I can help and guide you in composing your own music! I've also been playing the violin for 15 years and the piano for 7 years, and I'd be happy to give you lessons on both instruments and help you revisit basic music theory on both. I look forward to hearing from you :)

You can learn to play the classical guitar from the beginner to an advanced level on the lessons with me. My main goal is to teach my student very strong basic skills with which one can develop her-/himself later on her/his own.

Personalized Repertoire: Together, we'll curate a repertoire that aligns with your preferences and aspirations. This ensures a meaningful and enjoyable learning experience as we work towards mastering suggested and favorite pieces.

Joyful Learning: Music is an expression of joy, and I believe that learning should reflect that. Each lesson is designed to be engaging, interactive, and inspiring, fostering an environment where your passion for the classical guitar can truly flourish.

Progressive Advancement: Whether you're just starting your musical journey or seeking to refine your existing skills, this course accommodates all levels. I'll progressively elevate your proficiency and challenge your capabilities, marking significant achievements along the way.

I am currently studying jazz guitar at KUG - Kunstuniversität Graz. I learned guitar at Conservatory for music and ballete in Ljubljana and I have been playing guitar for 12 years. I am a jazz guitarist but I can also offer you knowledge in other musical genres (classical music, funk, rock, pop, soul, etc.). I enjoy working with everyone who want to learn to play the guitar.
I am looking forward to working with you!

About me:
I'm Yuliya! I graduated from the University of Arts in Graz with a bachelor's degree in jazz guitar. Before that, I studied rock and jazz guitar for three and a half years at the College of Music in Minsk. While studying, I worked as a guitar teacher at a music school for two years. After moving to Graz, I taught a lot both privately and at a music school.

Hello everybody!
I am Pijus, a musician with a great love for the classical guitar!
During my studies in Lithuania, Belgium, and Austria, as well as through master classes with renowned classical guitarists, I gained valuable knowledge and experience. These have helped me win 15 competitions and perform in numerous concerts in Lithuania, Belgium, and Austria. That's why I want to share everything I've learned with you, so you can discover the world of the classical guitar and fall in love with it!

In class, we will look together at how to work on a piece independently and play it by heart.
There are also practical exercises for technique and musicality – and a bit of music theory to help you better understand how the guitar and music work together.

In these lessons you will learn how to study and play the piano. You can ask for specific pieces that you really want to play, or we can start togheter a training with exercises and pieces.
