Hello! My name is Marília and I'm a musician from Brazil, currently living in Istanbul. I teach and play violin for over than 10 years. In our class, we will learn not only classical music, but also you can learn and play popular music, like folk, rock, pop, etc. Violin is a very democratic instrument. :)

Hi Everyone,

This is Ricco from Istanbul, Turkey.

I am a professional guitar instructor who also is playing in various stages with different bands currently.

I have a solid 10 years of guitar experience in all genres, from pop to rock & blues and so on. Besides playing electric guitar professionally with different bands, I am also giving professional hands-on guitar lessons for the guitar enthusiasts.

There is one major rule for my guitar lessons which is ALL LESSONS ARE IN ENGLISH !!!

This is why most of my students are either childrens of expats working in Istanbul or students studying in colleges and private schools whose official language is English.

If you are interested in learning how to play guitar (either classic, acoustic or electric), please feel free to get in touch with me.

After the first lesson If we both agree that we can move further, we shake hands and plan your progress together.

Lessons can be done either in your own flat or mine, but the price per lesson may vary accordingly. Students may also use my own guitars which can be seen in the photos, my amp and pedals.

Looking forward to hearing from you !!!

I am a solo entertainer, who performs with guitar and piano. In my early ages i performed as a electro guitar player in the bands, after I performed on a big cruise ships as a solo entertainer. In my lessons I’m helping the people who likes to be a solo artist. In this process I’m teaching singing and playing at the same time with an any instrument that candidate choose.

My basic principle and method in piano teaching are to show how to work on piano as a self-education. Most students cannot continue their studies after they stop working with a teacher. I explain the efficient ways of working with the instrument. I suggest taking 4-8 hours of lessons per month. Each lesson can be between 1-2 hours. It depends on the level of the student.
During the class, I assign students to have at least 20 minutes of finger exercises, then to work on pieces that were individually programmed with the student. Additionally, I give listening, reading, and video as homework. I allow students to send me any progress or questions via recorded video or video interview so that they can follow their work until the next class.

Dear Students,

Since my graduation in 2016, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of students, from beginners to advanced players, and from ages 7 to 70. Some of my students are professional musicians, while others simply enjoy learning music as a hobby.

No matter the level or goal, we all understand how important it is to build a strong foundation—starting with proper breathing techniques and correct embouchure position.

What will we learn in class?
• How to breathe properly in order to control your sound
• How to position your embouchure correctly, and how much pressure is needed for a good tone
• How to place your fingers on the instrument and develop finger speed
• How to read sheet music and solfège
• How to play songs and musical pieces

I’m excited to guide you through your musical journey!

Intro:
I will explain the structure of the guitar, basic playing techniques and correct hand positioning on the guitar. We will get to know each other and I will analyse your level of guitar skills, your musical taste and your goals in music.

Based on this analysis, we will be able to put together a personalised programme for your training.

The Path:
1.I will share with you useful exercises and show you how to do them properly.
2.Depending on your taste and level of technique, we will choose songs and learn them correctly under my supervision.
3.We will touch on music theory to the extent that suits your goals and in which you are willing to accept it.
4.We will learn to speak the language of music and learn how to improvise. We will learn songs by ear.
5.I will give small homework assignments that I will check at the beginning of the lessons.
You will receive all the tablature and materials you need.

Outro:
We will go from easy exercises and simple songs to complex solos and interesting improvisations, you will learn songs by ear. I will help you with your songwriting and prepare you for a concert and studio recording.

I would like to be your mentor, not just your teacher
