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.

Piano Lessons in Classical and Contemporary Styles for Beginning-Advanced Levels (ages 6 and up)
Welcome to my piano teaching studio! I am a professional pianist offering private piano and theory lessons for students of all levels. As a pianist with over 14 years of teaching experience in Europe and the USA, as well as over 23 years of playing/performing, I enjoy motivating my students with music of their own preferred style and interest, whether that be classical or contemporary. My main goal is to promote a positive experience and love for music-making during the learning process. If the student is interested in a more structured approach, I guide preparation for grades 1-8 of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) piano and music theory exams where my students consistently receive highest marks. I also have successful experience preparing students for conservatory entrance auditions, masterclasses, and competitions in the Europe, the USA, India, and Canada. We have class concerts at Pianos Maene for interested students twice per year. I am happy to provide either a more relaxed or a serious approach to learning piano, we simply need to discuss the personal goals and preferences of each student. My own studies are as follows: I have obtained two postgraduate performance degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp: "Concertsoloist" in Piano Performance and "Chamber Music." Prior to this, I received my Bachelor and Masters degrees in Piano Performance/Music from the University of Minnesota - Minneapolis and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth (USA). My experience includes collaboration with many different instrumentalists and singers, performing as a soloist and collaborative member in several orchestras, and receiving top prizes in several competitions. While maintaining my performance and recording career in Belgium at present, I am developing my private music studio in central Antwerp and look forward to meeting new students.

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.

Getting to Grips with Music Theory is simpler than you think!
The theory of everything tends to be really scary and music theory can be too. I am very keen to make music theory easy for everyone. For some people there is only one way to tackle the unmentionable but I believe there are many different approaches and one of them will click with you. It is simply finding out what is best for each person. Once we find the key we can unlock the problems that have puzzled you for ages. Music theory needs to be more than a requirement, it needs to be the way to really appreciate the music you are playing. Certain aspects can also lead to additional practical skills such as improvisation which can be very useful as well as very enjoyable. Whether you want to understand a particular aspect of music theory or If you struggle with music theory in general, then this is the class for you - why not give it a try?
