Hi! My name is Finlay.
I'm a 26 year old musician from Ireland.
I have been playing guitar for 12 years.
I offer classes for beginner and intermediate guitar players personalized to your tastes. I want to get people who are new or improving excited to play music and give them the skills to play the way they wish they could. The way I teach my class is by breaking down your favourite songs and helping you master the techniques used so you can use them yourself. The key to learning guitar is learning to play what you love.
I love playing music and helping others to enjoy it as well. I will design my classes to suit your tastes and goals.
I offer classes in English. I speak German but not enough to provide the best lessons I can.
So if you would also like to practice your English, then we could be a perfect fit!
Get in touch!
Extra information
Bring a notebook to write down learnings each class! I have multiple guitars we can practice on. However, they are all full-sized, so if you are younger and need a smaller one, be sure to bring your own!

Hi!
My name is Finlay.
I am 26 years old from Ireland and have moved to Vienna to become a professional musician.
I have been playing music for 20 years and recording music myself for 7 years. Music is my passion, and i know now what it is that a beginning musician needs to know, and what i wish i knew when i was starting out!
I offer music production and recording lessons. This includes recording and production techniques, microphone placement and techniques, studio gear knowledge, how to use a professional production software, as well as broader music technology lessons.
I am happy to create personalised lessons based on whatever it is that you wish to know the most. We can discuss what it is that you want from this and we can go from there :)
All lessons are done at my home and I provide the tools needed to learn the basics.
I also offer guitar lessons if this is not exactly what you're looking for!

All lessons are done through English, so if you also want to work on that too then we could match perfectly!

Everyone who wants to learn to play the cello is very welcome: children (from 4 years), beginners (children and adults), students (preparation for entrance exams, competitions), advanced...

My focus: classical, modern music, improvisation, individual learning plans

Nice to meet you!

I offer private music theory tutoring lessons to students of beginner level of different ages Depending on the student's final goal we adjust the knowledge and skills that we focus on with the student. I mostly focus on classical music theory, but can also provide an introduction to jazz and pop music theory.

My goal as a teacher is to keep and increase the students' love for music as well as to offer necessary and appropriate knowledge/skills to keep the student challenged and of course enjoy the fun of music!

Hello and welcome to my music studio! It is absolutely fabulous that you are interested in music, and I hope you have lots and lots of fun with it! However, diving into the wonders of the piano/keyboard can be a bit overwhelming... and that is where I come in!
This course is for anyone from complete beginners to advanced students, from lessons that focus completely on classical music to lessons that include or focus on the basics of jazz/pop. If you like to sing, we can also work on the basics of jazz/pop vocal, so you can learn to accompany yourself at the piano.
In our lessons, technique will be an inherent part of the training, as well as analysis, basic music theory, and efficient ways of practicing music. If that all sounds good to you, then please reach out to me and we can start ASAP!
Lessons can be in English or Dutch.

So who am I?
In a nutshell, I am a professional pianist, vocalist, lyricist and blogger. Since 2014, I have taught in various music schools, teaching piano, ensemble, jazz vocal, and solfege.
On a more elaborate note, I obtained my Master of Arts in classical piano, summa cum laude, at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent (KASK) in 2017, and studied as a Fulbrighter at Indiana University Jacobs School of Music in Bloomington USA during the 2019-2020 academic year.
Every day, I strive to become a better musician and person, and I aim to transfer that passion to my students.

Drumset lessons for beginner or intermediate players focusing on technique, rhythms, groove and breaks. Students will learn to improvise and learn how to structure songs, as well as the basis of music theory.

From a very young age I had a passion for rhythm, so naturally, percussion was my choice. I've been studying percussion and music theory for over 15 years now, and I would like to share my knowledge with whoever shares this passion.

Whether you want to become a pro, take your first steps in guitar playing or are looking for an excellent teacher for your child, the difference is only in the pedagogical approach, because the most important thing is a solid foundation.

And that's exactly why you should consider me as your guitar teacher.
I have been playing guitar for 15 years and due to my rich education I have reached international concert stages.
I've been passing on the know-how I've learned from some of the world's leading guitarists to my own students for years, regardless of age, ambition and musical style.

And that's how it works:
- we ensure that basic technical skills and basic musical knowledge are strengthened to avoid unnecessary frustration in the future
- we create a consistent exercise plan, compatible with the student's daily activities, always with the idea of achieving the student's goal in the shortest possible time

My own goal is to reach a level where a student is able to become his own teacher. They set their own goals, organize their development and learn how to achieve them.

Hello! My name is Matei, I am 21 years old, I have been studying guitar for over a decade and I have 5 years of experience in the teaching domain. I am currently studying jazz at the Jam Music Lab conservatory in Vienna. I have studied classical guitar for 5 years, electric guitar for another 5 years, and jazz guitar for 3 years.

I can teach you music theory concepts ranging from fundamentals like chords, intervals, scales, and arpeggios to the more advanced: circle of fifths, modes, tensions, and triads. Regarding the technical aspect of guitar playing, I can create a good practice routine for the improvement of different styles of playing such as alternate picking, fingerpicking, legato, taping, hybrid picking, economy picking, etc.
Although these concepts may sound frightening at first, I can help you understand them more easily.

The lessons are thought to be suitable for beginners who never picked up a guitar before, intermediate players who know some songs and fundamentals but don't know what to do next, and advanced players who want to deepen their skills.

I can also help you build a good foundation for improvising over any tune you like, help you master composition, and teach you music-making and recording programs such as Reaper, to be able to start your solo projects.

I will provide my personal insights regarding what I think you should improve, but I can also just help you learn something specific like a song you want to play.

Do you want to learn how to play various styles while having fun? Or you just feel stagnated and you dont progress anymore?
Then you should try out my classes: I dont specialize in any specific style, but I grew to learn at least the basic tricks of the main styles (flamenco, blues, acoustic folk, electric pop, a bit of jazz)
It would truly be a pleasure to me to show you the keys about becoming a better guitar player, the details that make the difference. I can of course also show you how to play specific songs that you like, and how to slowly figure songs and melodies out by ear. If necessary I will correct your technique and show you how to maintain your guitar.

Ill be looking forward to you!

Hello, my name is Pia and I'm a flautist. :) I started learning the flute at the age of 8. I loved it right away, so after music school, I continued my studies at the conservatory in Maribor (Slovenia). I then studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Graz. In 2024, I completed my bachelor's degree at the Gustav Mahler Private University in Klagenfurt. There, I earned a degree in concert performance and a degree in instrumental pedagogy.
During my studies, I also completed a specialization course in early music, majoring in transverse flute. Therefore, I also offer lessons for beginners on this beautiful baroque instrument.
During my studies, I had several private students with whom I explored the sounds of the flute and various genres (classical, pop, jazz, folk music, improvisation, etc.). My lessons are relaxed and communicative, full of collaborative music-making.
Classes can also take place online.

Beginners are just as welcome as those who want to deepen their knowledge or start playing the flute again after some time! :)
