The guitar is undoubtedly one of the most popular instruments of the modern age. It is so versatile and used in many genres ranging from classical music to Death Metal and even Electronic Music.

I will teach you the basics of playing the guitar, and I'll spice it up later with my experience in composition and songwriting. We will learn by example through the famous songs that shaped our understanding of the guitar. Whether you prefer singer-songwriter-style songs, or thrash metal we'll get there together.

I will teach mainly using the guitar tablature format, we can do sheet music which is generally unneeded for anything besides classical, but I will need to refresh my music sheet reading skills as I haven't had to read any in the last 10 years.

I offer professional guitar lessons for kids & adults in your home or online.

I am a concert guitarist with an Italian master's degree in “classical guitar” at the Conservatorio di Musica (Music Academy) in Benevento, Italy. I have studied guitar for over 10 years and attended the master classes of the world-famous guitarist Edoardo Catemario for 6 years as a student. I gave numerous concerts in my home country (Teatro la Fenice - Venice; Festival Rosso di Sera - Siena; Centro di Musica Antica Fondazione “Pietà de Turchini” - Naples, etc.)
Since I have been teaching at music schools in Naples (Italy) for several years, I have a lot of teaching experience with both children and adults.

I speak Italian, English, and German.

Playing the classical guitar can be utterly gratifying for professionals and amateurs alike; molding unique sounds with our fingers and expressing our inner selves. Even more so, playing an instrument is a way to escape some of our everyday problems.

Learning to play the classical guitar, on the other hand, can often be frustrating; progress sometimes feels impossibly slow, and there are way too many things that need our full attention.

I'm here to help you make your practice more focused, purposeful, and efficient; establish a routine that will allow you to develop a solid technique, with a musical touch and an all-around repertoire.

I only work with a small selection of students, and I treat each of them individually.

If you are interested in learning more and discussing my approach or taking lessons, feel free to contact me. I teach both online and at my place in Berlin.

Hi!

My name is Diego, I am a guitarist and composer currently living in Berlin. I am offering guitar and music lessons to everyone interested in learning music, from beginners to advanced players who want to improve their skills. I find teaching very inspiring and challenging. My goal is to help you find your way in music so that you can improve and enjoy the process.
I have been a teacher in different schools and privately in the last years in Spain and Berlin. I have a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from the University of the Basque Country, Musikene (Spain).

Each person is different, so I adapt to the needs and interests of each one. We always work on things that are important to you. Along with this, there are certain topics that I consider necessary for further development:
guitar technique, rhythm, harmony, ear training, improvisation, composition, different languages (jazz, blues, rock, folk), and a repertoire suitable for the student.

I can give extra material to the students with videos or Pdf to work at home.

There's also the option of doing the lessons in Baumschulenstr (Treptow).
I can go to your location for an extra fee.

Online lessons are also available via Zoom or Skype

Looking forward to hearing from you!
Diego

Hi there! I'm a professional, award-winning guitarist with over 18 years of experience playing Jazz, Blues, Funk, Pop, and Finger-style. I have worked internationally as a bandleader, accompanist, and solo performer.

My approach to teaching is very pragmatic, time-efficient, and fun and I prefer not to overwhelm students with too much information or technical exercises. I believe that the number one priority both in playing and teaching music should be enjoyment, and that's why I tailor each lesson to the uniqueness of each student, making sure that we are learning about things that YOU want to learn about and moving towards YOUR unique goals.
I look forward to hearing from you and learning together!

My teaching is also informed by years of research into areas such as neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and meditation. This background has allowed me to develop a truly holistic approach to music, one which promises not only faster improvement, but also greater musical EASE, ENJOYMENT, and CREATIVITY.

Philip :)

🎸 Guitar & Ukulele Lessons – All Levels, All Styles 🎶

I’m a professional musician with over 20 years of experience, having been trained at the Escuela de Música Contemporánea in Buenos Aires and holding a Master's degree in Creative Production from Berlin. I offer guitar and ukulele lessons tailored to your musical taste and goals.

I offer personalized guitar and ukulele lessons for all ages, designed to help students truly connect with their instrument. My approach is based on learning repertoire that the student genuinely enjoys, while developing strong technique and music theory in a practical and musical way.

A key element of my teaching is improvisation, as it allows students to connect immediately with the language of music, build confidence, and express themselves freely from the very beginning.

I also incorporate breathing exercises into my lessons to help students relax, improve focus, and develop a deeper physical and musical connection with their instrument.

In addition to instrumental lessons, I offer early music education for children aged 3 to 5, focusing on musical initiation through rhythm, listening, movement, and play in a fun and nurturing environment.

Lessons are available in Spanish, English, French, and German, and are always adapted to each student’s age, level, goals, and musical interests.

🔹 Format: Online or in-person
🔹 Lesson type: Individual or group classes
🔹 All ages and skill levels welcome

My approach is warm, flexible, and student-centered: you’ll learn at your own pace, with lessons designed just for you — and most importantly, you'll enjoy the process.

I believe that learning music should be fun, and I adapt my lessons to the wishes and needs of the students.
