Ever wanted to play guitar like a rockstar? Maybe you have plans to join a band, just play for fun or maybe even become a youtube guitar star.

However you want to play, this course will take you on some very simple steps starting with the basics of guitar (if you're a complete beginner)and going on to explore several different rock genres until you decide which route you would like to take!

We'll go over several fun exercises and classic rock/pop songs so you can start to play over backing tracks very quickly and build your confidence in becoming a competent guitar player!

Happy students = happy me.

'Ondrej is excellent at setting the right goal posts for your level: challenging, but not so challenging as to be discouraging. He has a discerning eye and ear and knows how to direct his advice to see immediate results.' - Lauren (student)

- 10+ years experience – private & school teaching
- Lessons catered to your needs and wants
- Individual attention
- Taught ages 5-60
- Beginner to professional
- Individual & group lessons
- Experience teaching students with dyslexia, helping students with injury
- Student success:
o graded exams
o music scholarships
o admittance to music colleges
o playing their favourite pieces
- Flexible lesson times (including weekends and evenings)
- All are welcome!

One of the parts of teaching I most enjoy is the variety of my students’ backgrounds and finding an individual approach that works best for each student. I always do my best to create a supportive, stress-free environment so that the students can have a really fun time learning, while encouraging them to expand their capabilities at a pace that suits them best.

Music theory is crucial in order to communicate with other musicians and also crucial to help under your instruments. However, it is a hard topic to understand and can be taught in a complicated way but I have been taught some great techniques that make learning music theory much simpler. I am a college student studying music at a HND level and before that I had an A every year for music in my SQA Exams so I can teach anyone up to Higher Music.
I can teach online and in person, it is all up to personal choice.

I’m a violinist with 20+ years experience in playing and 8 years of experience in teaching.

I can provide one to one classes either at my home in Edinburgh or online.

I’m happy to teach people of all levels, ages 7 and up.

I adjust my classes to everyone’s needs, starting from holding the violin and basic music theory to working on different techniques and phrasing.

I specialise in advanced Classical and Jazz Piano, Composition and Arranging, as well as fundamentals of Theory of Music for students from ABRSM Grade 5 to Diploma level. I offer substantial discounts for families and for bundles of 5 or 10 lessons.

I have a well-equipped studio with a new grand piano as well as other keyboards and music tech gear, and teach both in-person for students living in Edinburgh, and online internationally. As many of my students are from Edinburgh university, where I also teach Orchestration and Screen Composition, daytime lessons can be flexible from week to week.

My classes are helpful to students seeking to pass the higher performance and theory grade examinations, as well as to university undergraduates seeking to fill knowledge gaps and to explore composition and orchestration in greater depth. Students I have taught invariably achieve excellent results, as high as 144/150 in recent ABRSM practical piano examinations, and as high as 100% in Theory of Music.

I also teach Music Technology, specialising in Cubase DAW as well as Sibelius and Dorico scorewriter applications.
