    Electric & Acoustic Guitar Lessons (Songwriting) [EN]

    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 Bernauer Str.

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

    About Me

    I am a professional teacher, guitarist, singer and songwriter who has been teaching and working in the music industry for over 9 years. I am originally from Finland but have been living in Berlin for 7 years. I love guiding my students on their musical journey and seeing their love of the craft develop as their skills improve.

    The focus of my teaching is on individual development. That means no 'cookie-cutter' songs, instead we focus on the songs that you love and want to play. Each lesson is tailor made for the student and is centered on the songs and skills that you want to develop.

    I believe strongly that your own enjoyment of your instrument and writing is the key to learning. If you are not enjoying what you are doing then taking the time and effort to improve is difficult. With my guidance I aim to expand your skills and help you find your inner voice.

    Native English piano lessons from an experienced tutor
    ENGLISH-SPEAKING PIANO TUTOR I teach adults of all levels! I often mentor people who are just starting out, helping them develop their interest in the instrument and play the music they love. A lot of students come in with anxiety about how good or fast they're going to be able to learn. I work to build a respectful, supportive environment where you feel comfortable developing and learning at your own pace. For intermediate and advanced students, I teach with a particular focus on fundamental technique through études, and developing musicality. Oftentimes, as hobbyists, we have holes from our early studies that prevent us from developing later in life. My aim is to help correct that. You should leave with renewed confidence to tackle pieces that have intimidated or eluded you in the past. I hope to teach you soon!

    Professional guitar lessons - jazz/rock/theory/technique
    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.
