About Me

I graduated as a Diploma Specialist in Art (Classical Guitar, Teacher Training) at the Bratislava State Conservatory, Slovakia, recorded with the National Radio Orchestra, worked as a session guitar player, music composer (radio, film, advertising) and tutor.
I have over 20 years of teaching experience in independent music, primary and secondary schools as well as in private one-to-one tuition. I have also worked as a music club, ensemble and school band leader.

I teach acoustic and electric guitar styles at all levels and exam grades, with the focus on understanding music and preparing students for live performances. I encourage songwriting, improvising, development of necessary guitar techniques and making music with others where possible, the joy of music being the key factor of it all. Genres covered include Classical Music and theory, Rock, Pop, Jazz, Folk, R&B and others. Instruments I teach include guitar, bass guitar, drums and ukulele.

I have experience in online tuition using all available platforms as well as recording, mixing and mastering music recorded by students remotely.
