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.

About Me

- I am an experienced, creative, and enthusiastic teacher, passionate about helping students find their way to effectively practice and develop their skills and musicality. Music is for life and should be enjoyable. Even though there is a lot of hard work involved, the right methods and a good teacher can make a huge difference.

- I love to teach jazz, improvisation, harmony, and general music theory but am very experienced in performing and teaching other styles such as Rock, Folk, and Pop. My main stand-out quality is methodology over style. This makes me suitable for many learners.

- I am a qualified, professional guitarist, composer, and teacher. I have 10 years of experience teaching students guitar and theory from beginners to degree level, 7 years and over. I have a 1st class master's degree under Frank Möbus at HfM Weimar Franz Liszt and a bachelor's degree in jazz studies from Leeds Conservatoire (UK) as well as a teaching diploma in further education.

- In addition to my teaching and studies, I am a professional performer specializing in jazz, folk, and improvised music. I have played all over the UK and Europe as a leader and sideman and have played with artists such as Dave Newton (Martin Taylor) and Steve Waterman. I have taught university students from Bristol University, BIMM, and UdK as well as led numerous workshops for Bristol University students. I lectured for 3 years in jazz, world music, and performance in a top UK Further Education college. Also a member of LiveMusicNow and SuperAct. I am currently teaching and performing in Berlin. I have also worked as a session guitarist for German TV (ARD) and production companies, most notably NativeInstruments.

Richard
Private guitar lessons for every level: from basic chords to out of the box improvisation
Hey! My name is Richard and I give private lessons to all levels. For guitar, it is important that you can improve yourself in a pleasant environment in a fun way where your interests are central. Do you want to delve deeper into a certain style? Do you want to create your own sound on your guitar using amps, and pedals, ...? I can help you with all that! Knowledge of solfège or music theory is not required, we can always discuss this in class if you wish, but that is certainly not mandatory ;) I have been playing the guitar since I was 9 years old and for several years now I have been playing in professional bands with which I have been able to play on sugar rock, for example. The lessons would take place at my home in Mol or via webcam. If necessary, we can always agree on something else. Be sure to let me know if you have any questions and I will answer as soon as possible. See you soon! Richard PS: my specified hours are a guideline, if this does not suit you, you can certainly send us a message and we will try to arrange something :)

The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students. Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶 My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀 The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩 For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻‍🏫 Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥 The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️ Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

Improvisation for beginners and intermediates (any instrument)
For many people improvisation is a scary word and having to improvise in a group or band is an alarming prospect. However, this really does not need to be the case. As long as you have a basic knowledge of how to play your instrument you will be able to improvise. Once you know the principle of how chords are formed you will soon be improvising with ease. If you play a keyboard instrument you will be able to improvise your own pieces and be able to entertain your friends at a moments notice. On the other hand if you play in a band or a group you will be well equipped to do a real 'jam' session. Whether you play a single line instrument (flute, saxophone, trumpet, violin etc.) or keyboard instruments, this class is for you.
