Conall - Islington50€

50€Guitar (Electric/Acoustic/Bass) of any genre or ability level

It might be easy to find an average guitar teacher, but genuine insight is much harder to come by - over the years, I've seen it all, and I want to use my experience to help you! ABOUT ME I am a friendly, solid, inspiring, patient, real-world music teacher, with over a decade's experience as a working, touring, studying, writing, teaching, musician! APPROACH Creating a nice atmosphere is really important to me. I'd love to know more about your goals and what excites you - your dreams might be as big as building a career in music, or as small as being able to perform a few songs to no-one but yourself and your cat. Anything and everything in between is totally valid and worth exploring! THINGS I CAN HELP WITH - How to get the most from music, whether that be through following a grade system, or just learning how to play the music you love. - Getting to that "next level" of guitar playing, wherever you are at the moment - Organising the fretboard, rhythm, inspiration, what to practice (at any level) - Providing helpful real-world context for the things you might be learning at school/college/university/YouTube - Songwriting/Arranging/Production, from very first steps to advanced concepts - Blocks/worries you might have about any aspect of music, or a kind of music coaching role (I'm not a licensed therapist but I'm here for it!) FIRST LESSON This would be an introductory session, where we get a feel for each other and what your aims are. By having a chat, I find that "what we should work on" flows pretty naturally from this, and we'd be able to set out a rough syllabus of what we would work on for the next while. FURTHER INFO/EXPERIENCE - Professional musician for over a decade, most notably touring as a guitarist with US Artists Theo Katzman and May Erlewine, as well as a Fleetwood Mac tribute show. - Taught 1-on-1 and ensemble lessons both privately and in schools, with a wiiiiide range of ability levels. - I produce and release my own original music with 17k monthly listeners. - Have worked as a session guitarist on a huge variety of genres (I can help you with pretty much any kind of music you can think of, but I'll be open and upfront with you if I feel my expertise doesn't match what you want. I'll be sorry to disappoint you that my, say, Bulgarian Folk knowledge isn't too hot...) - Have composed/arranged music for national TV ad campaigns (TUI, Redbull and Vodafone IE)

Luke - Blackheath50€

50€Guitar Tutoring - Any Style, Any Level, All Welcome!

Trusted teacher: My name is Luke and I am a 24 year old, multi-award winning guitarist from Greenwich, London. I am an experienced and enthusiastic teacher and am adept at all varieties of guitar playing, including, classical, acoustic, electric and bass. Regarding my previous experience in tutoring, I have given 1000's of hours of guitar tuition both privately and in school settings. These experiences have given me a keen sense of how to motivate students and offer them concise and useful advice. I have worked at many excellent institutions in the past, including Streatham and Clapham Girls' School (one of the top private girls schools in the country), Orpington Music Studio, The Royal Arsenal School of Music and Canada Blanch Music Academy. I have found over my experiences of being taught and then eventually teaching that the best method for getting the most out of a student is to listen. If the tutor is acutely aware of where their student needs help and where they are already confident, they can tailor classes carefully to make the best use of the time allowed and to get the maximum potential out of them. This philosophy leads to classes being student-oriented, in that the student leads the tuition. The tutor acts as a supportive crutch, first working through problems together, then allowing them to explore it themselves with the tutor to lean back on. In my first years of training, like many others, I completed grades. Because of this I have a very good knowledge of what it takes to move along this system. However, the grade system should not be seen as the only way to learn an instrument. The same achievement can be gained through simple discussion between student and teacher and the correct prescription of pieces and studies to work on. I am more than happy to walk down whatever avenue they wish to explore. I would love to hear from you in the future. Thank you.

Brendan - Mitcham57€

57€Songwriting lessons for beginners to intermediate.

Trusted teacher: Songwriting is a fantastic skill whether you are a beginner or want to improve your songwriting capabilities. Not only will your musical abilities improve but so will you english language capabilities as we look to marry music and lyrics in the best possible way. Not only is it a great industry to get into, songwriting has enormous benefits to mental health as it provides a platform for creative expression which in my many years of experience has helped so many of my younger as well as older students. In my class, you will learn the foundations behind creating a great song including: Songwriting forms and structure in all genres, music theory and understanding chord progressions and modes, breaking music theory conventions in order to create a unique sound, great songwriting tools to help with 'writers block', performance coaching and how to convey your songs message on stage as well as all things music industry, including the importance of copyright and how to protect your songs. My students will be working with me on constructing songs as beginners and my more experienced songwriting students will work with professional music industry briefs that I will provide. Students will be able to write songs comfortably and autonomously after only a handful of lessons with me.

Paolo - Acton57€

57€Learning to play GUITAR is a magical journey, and you deserve a great tutor!

Trusted teacher: "I strongly believe that anyone can achieve great results and learn anything when they’re motivated and enthused. As we know education is often focused on passing exams but too often the joy of learning for the sake of just learning is missing. I can certainly help with passing exams, but in such a way that enthuses my students to want to learn more, developing their talent and curiosity. It’s important to me to create a nurturing environment to enable my student to explore their ideas without fear of failure, building confidence and ultimately excelling. I take pride on being able to discover the way a student thinks and the style of learning that best matches them. Above all though: a good sense of humour and fun goes a long way to ensuring the whole learning experience is positive.” PAOLO I qualified to teach: - Classical, Acoustic and Electric guitar lessons up to Grade 8 and DIplomas (Trinity College, ABRSM, RockSchool). - Piano, Bass guitar and Singing lessons up to Grade 6 (Trinity College and ABRSM). - Music technology, sound design and audio editing tuitions and workshop on Cubase (v. 7 to 11) and Logic Pro X . - Music theory, songwriting classes, and private tutoring for GCSE students who need extra help are also available.

Lou

Highly recommended! It was really nice to receive a message from Lou regarding our search for guitar lessons! Due to corona and a closed school, my 13 year old had more time to play guitar and she wanted to learn more about composition/scales. How cool that for online lessons, distance is no obstacle (we live in Luxembourg). We highly recommend Lou's enthusiastic and professional lessons!
