We’ll focus on building a strong foundation while playing real music from the start.

About Me

I’m a passionate and patient music teacher with over 15 years of experience as a guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, and educator. I believe learning music should feel motivating, structured, and enjoyable, not intimidating. My teaching style is friendly but focused. I aim to help students build real skills while enjoying the process of making music.

I adapt my lessons to each student’s goals, whether that’s learning songs, improving technique, understanding music theory, or gaining confidence with the instrument. I enjoy teaching beginners who are just starting out as well as intermediate players who want to deepen their understanding and musicality.

Having worked with students of different ages and backgrounds, I value clear communication, encouragement, and consistency. I especially enjoy teaching motivated adults and teens who want a practical, modern approach to guitar and music learning. Lessons are taught in English and can be structured or flexible depending on what works best for you.

I am an experienced and enthusiastic guitar tutor from Leeds, England, living in Berlin. I have a bachelor’s degree in jazz guitar from Leeds College of Music although I also play and teach rock, pop, funk, folk, and indie music.

In lessons, I aim to get students to play something they know as soon as possible in order to get excited about progress early on. We balance this with paying attention to proper technique and having one eye on the theory behind what we are playing to broaden your understanding of how music works.

I am actively engaged in playing within the music scene and have a real excitement for all types of music, whether it’s learning your first chords on guitar or working on improvisation or music theory. We'll go at the right pace for you and achieve your goals together.

I have experience teaching all ages and abilities of students, having taught in primary and secondary schools as well as private tuition for adults. From complete beginners to preparing a student for their college auditions.

Lessons are tailored to suit the needs of the student, in order to have lessons that push you to learn to the best of your ability whilst still being fun and musical.

My name is Robert. I am offering bespoke, high-quality one-to-one guitar lessons in Berlin. Lessons are catered for beginners to advanced/university-level students. If you are serious about learning the guitar or furthering your current skills, then please read on.

WHAT I TEACH!
I specialize in teaching advanced students in fretboard mapping, strong technique, and all aspects of harmony and improvisation. I believe in hard work and building strong foundations, leaving no stone unturned, and developing a thorough and usable "matrix" on the guitar. True learning and progress take time and dedication and practice time is precious. I aim to have every student I teach in a place where they can facilitate their own learning and development. I don't just teach "jazz" improvisation but rather a holistic approach to improvisation in Western music. However, I am also very experienced with beginners and I would be happy to take on any student who is serious about learning.

So if you are interested in having a quality service from an experienced, passionate tutor, then please enquire and we can discuss what it is that you want from a teacher.

My name is Tomasz, I have been a guitarist (also a composer and singer) for 30 years and have also been a guitar teacher for over 25 years.

Due to the current situation, I offer you online guitar lessons via Skype. I have a lot of experience teaching via Skype and a lot of happy students.

Many are surprised to see that grasping and plucking can be perceived better and learned faster via Skype. How is that possible?
It happens thanks to the fact that I use three cameras. They are set so that the perspective of seeing changes. The student sees the guitar on the screen from the same perspective from which he sees his own guitar.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely

Tomasz

I offer lessons on Piano with personalized lessons for each student according to the goals and the music the student wants to play. We will work on several topics as recognition of the instrument, technique, reading, repertoire, harmony, ear training and composition among other topics. The lessons are in English or in Spanish by the moment. I will reply gladly any questions you have.

My method is based on each student in particular. It doesn't matter your leveI, I enjoy teaching to people who have a commitment with music and art. The main topics we'll work on are: Recognizing piano, technique, sound, ear training, transcribing, harmony and harmony applied to the instrument, and reading and studying the instrument through the music you like and choose.

Hello!
Alright, I'll break it down into parts. If you look for a more "narrowed description" just scroll down to where I made a list :)

My name is Francisco, and I'm a guitar player from Argentina, currently living in Berlin.
I am very enthusiastic about teaching and sharing the energy to grow musically with my students.
I have taught music for 7 years in schools and privately at home. With private lessons, my aim is to adjust to the student's likes and abilities. I am attentive to the needs and the reasons why someone is wanting to play and learn music. And I try to encourage the curiosity and spirit of making music and not follow what is "considered" that you should learn.

What to expect from the first lesson with me?
To get to know each other. That way I see what you like and what you don't, what you already play, and your learning pace. Probably I can share with you something new already, and from there, we will build a "program" according to what you want your rhythm and time availability. I value singularity and I like to get to know who I teach, so that way I can help them better. It can be first chords and ways of learning new songs, improvisational tools, or pure harmony and theory stuff.
Because everyone is different, for example, if you like Rock I will go in that direction and teach you the elements that make Rock sound like it does and I won't teach you Jazz Harmony, if you like Classical music we will go over the abilities that you have to have to execute this kind of music, the same goes for the styles that I play.

My skills:
I play and have played mainly Fingerstyle Guitar, Jazz, Argentine Tango, Jazz Manouche, Rock, Rockabilly, and Experimental. I have worked a lot playing Bossa Nova at some point. I don't like teaching something that I don't know. So for example, oriental music I couldn't teach. And if we come to a point where I am not helpful anymore, I will say so. What I do like is learning with students, it is often the case that your students teach you new ways of thinking about music and I find that super exciting!

I was lucky to travel a bit of the world playing music with different projects and musicians that I admire, I always did this playing mainly Jazz music. I have played in bars and clubs and theaters in New York, Boston, Buenos Aires, and in different cities around Switzerland, Germany, France, Holland.
I was also part of several orchestras (Jazz, Tango, and Rock) in Argentina and the US.

I teach beginner - intermediate - advanced levels of different topics:
- how to improve technique (right hand and left hand)
- how to improvise (elements of improvisation, vocabulary, phrasing, etc.)
- how to visualize the fretboard
- how to learn songs by ear, and how to read music (or tab)
- how harmony and music theory work
- specific genres such as Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, Bossa Nova, Tango, Rock, and Fingerstyle.

The lessons can be also in German (basic, so you might need a bit of patience with me!), Spanish (that's my mother tongue), or English. They can be at my place (Wedding), all corona safe, or online via Zoom/Skype.

Shoot me a message if you are interested!
All the best,
Francisco

Like with languages, intuition plays a huge part in learning an instrument. Most often in music, the correct choice will the the one that ~feels~ the most natural. This is what my teachers, from when I was a kid, all the way to the end of my studies at the conservatory, have prioritized in lessons; Working less hard to sound better.

I’m here to help you in the same way, to decipher with you certain sounds, certain gestures in recorder playing, so that we can map out together your skill set, and eventually find your own style of play.

When it comes to the grammar part of music, I’m ready to teach you everything about reading notes, intervals, chords, and all the principles of music theory, with examples and fun exercises.

I am a very patient person, and have experience with beginners as well as “matured” amateurs :)

I hold a masters in early music, along with a bachelors in classical composition.

My dream is to live from composition mainly, writing music for concerts, film and ballet. Currently I’m working on a ballet commission from the Schauspielhaus in Zurich, and more original music for a series of concerts next summer in France.

My favorite composers are Bartok... and a bunch of anonymous medieval ones.

How about you?

Let me teach you to write your own songs, learn any song by ear, create your own style or begin your journey into the world of music and playing the piano. My method is based on learning music from listening, perception and creativity. My classes are extremely practical and adaptable to the needs and interests of the student, from piano applied to songwriting or the understanding of musical language and harmony, to the preparation of different repertoires and the writing of your own songs.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello ! My name is Wassim I am a guitar teacher recently arrived to berlin, and I’m thrilled to List this class !
With 14 years of playing guitar and 5 years of teaching all ages (starting from 8 years old), I’ve developed a knack for making learning fun and engaging for my students.

I’ve recently written a book called "Modern Method of Learning Guitar," which will be published soon. It sums up my teaching philosophy and the program I’ve created over the years. I focus on interactive lessons that help students come out of their shells and really enjoy the process of learning music.

I co-founded a music school that’s been really successful back in my home town, Algeria. We had many students who all gave us positive feedback and achieved great results. And I can confidently say that while I don’t have an academic degree in music, my hands-on experience and deep love for music have more than prepared me for this role.

I’m a sociable person who loves creating a welcoming classroom environment. Seeing students grow in confidence and skill is the best part of my job. I’m excited about the possibility of bringing my passion and experience e to your learning process.

Thanks for considering my class ! I’d love to chat more about how I can contribute to your music Journey.

Dear music lovers,
I am a concert pianist and piano teacher and offer piano lessons with home visits.

I think it is important to see music studies as a complex education in close relationship with other arts. Whether you are a professional or an amateur, with the diverse and deep insight into the world of classical music you will feel freer and, what's more, be able to express yourself much better. I use a mixture of the classical Russian piano school, European heritage and the individual repertoire selection that is unique for each student.
For these reasons, I teach young people from about 15 years of age with no upper age limit.

Give yourself the chance to spread your possibilities!

Hi!

Have you ever dreamed of strumming your guitar to your own original songs, feeling that electric thrill of creating something truly yours? My name is Aleksi and I am a Berlin based guitar teacher, singer, musician and professional songwriter. I am offering private guitar lessons (EN) with an added focus on songwriting. With me you can learn techniques like:

🎸 Guitar Mastery: From basic chords and fingerpicking to advanced techniques like soloing and singing and playing at the same time. I'll help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be.

📝 Songwriting Skills: Unleash your creativity and learn how to craft songs that resonate. From writing legendary lyrics to creating memorable melodies, I'll help you find your unique voice.

Whether you are a beginner (looking at a blank piece of paper and not knowing where to even start) or an experienced player (playing the same chords over and over again wondering what the next step is); my lessons are open to everyone with a love of music and a willingness to learn.

Lessons are provided in my dedicated home studio room near Sonnenallee.

I am really looking forward to hearing about you and what you are looking to learn!
