Adam - Granby, MA$95

$95Unlock your musical potential with engaging and personalized lessons tailored to your goals.

In my teaching approach, beginners will receive comprehensive instruction in music fundamentals, including music theory, reading notation, rhythm, key signatures, chord progressions, proper instrument posture, and playing simple melodies. As their skills progress, they will have the opportunity to explore more advanced concepts, such as modes, intricate timing and rhythm patterns, advanced chord structures, harmonization techniques, improvisation, and a diverse repertoire within their chosen genre and style. For instance, classical musicians will delve into the works of composers spanning the Renaissance to the Romantic era, while folk musicians will explore various European dance music styles and American genres like bluegrass, country, western swing, jazz, and blues, among others. The curriculum is tailored to meet the specific needs and aspirations of each student, allowing for continuous growth and musical development.

Antonio - The Hague, Netherlands$54

$54Guitar, Mandolin, Music Theory lessons by enthusiastic tutor and performer

Trusted teacher: Enthusiastic guitar tutor and performer. I started playing classical guitar at the age of 6, and my formal musical education began at the age of 9 when I started attending a music school in Croatia. After 6 years of primary school, I continued studying classical guitar at a secondary music school in Varazdin, Croatia. During that period I received training in classical harmony, Counterpoint (polyphony), Solfeggio, Music history and gained plenty of experience in orchestral playing and choral singing. I decided to continue my musical education in Manchester where I was studying for an undergraduate degree at the Royal Northern College of Music and currently I am studying at the Royal Conservatoire in the Hague. As a performing guitarist, I have successfully participated and won prizes in a number of international competitions in the UK, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Hercegovina. Although my studies are primarily related to classical music, I am comfortable playing and performing music in a range of other styles and genres. I am also experienced with mandolin and Croatian folk instrument called tamburitza.

* Learn your favourite songs * Learn musicianship skills * Learn techniques such as strumming, plectrum, and fingerpicking * Learn to improvise * Flexible and student-centred approach * Lessons tailored to the student's interests * Option to take grade exams * All styles and abilities welcome I teach Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Mandolin, Ukulele, Guitar Theory and Songwriting I am a professional musician and have performed at Barbican Centre, South Bank Centre, Royal Albert Hall and live on the BBC. My music has been aired on the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Sky and other media worldwide. I have taught guitar for over 15 years. I trained with The DaCapo Music Foundation where I was a Senior Teacher and Mentor. I currently teach privately and at Christchurch School, Chelsea. I hold a First Class BA Honours in Music and have an up-to-date DBS Certificate. “An artist to watch” BBC London  “I’m really loving the feels of that” BBC Introducing “Filled with delicate nuances” Folk Radio TESTIMONIALS: "My son has had Josh as a guitar tutor for 6 years. I can highly recommend him. He has a fantastic manner and rapport with his students. He is an exceptionally skilled guitar player and tutor. My son has made phenomenal progress with Josh and has enjoyed working with Josh towards his Trinity Grades in classical guitar. In addition, Josh has motivated my son to compose his own music - with fabulous results." Amanda "Josh is very talented. He is flexible about what we play and finds things that suit my ability. He creates a fun environment to learn." Arthur, aged 14 "Josh has been teaching my son electric and electro-acoustic guitar for a year. His stimulating and relaxed approach means that I find my son plays his guitar on a daily basis just because he enjoys it, yet he is still covering quite a lot of technical stuff." Polly "My 12-year old daughter has been taking guitar classes with Joshua Geffin for over a year now. Previously she tried a couple of different instruments and music teachers but even though she is very musical and loves music, she would get bored and lose interest after a while. Josh’s inspirational and creative approach to teaching changed all this. She became passionate about playing her guitar, singing and writing her own music. Practicing is no longer a chore but fun and she looks forward to her class every week. In a relatively short period she made remarkable progress and has recently won a full music scholarship at Kingsdale." Duska "I took up the guitar in my 30s and am far from a natural musician! I’ve had a few teachers – all brilliant guitarists - but none have quite combined the same high level of patience, encouragement and flexibility as Josh. He let’s me play music I love and progress at my own pace. As a ‘mature’ student with an incredibly busy job, it is important that I don’t feel under pressure if I haven’t played between lessons. Josh is completely understanding of this and the fact that he teaches at my home is a massive bonus. He is a natural and talented teacher and I would not hesitate to recommend his lessons to anyone of any level." Jeanette "I have been having lessons with Josh for around 2 years now. He has really helped develop and improve the quality of my playing and also my appreciation of music as a whole and I am very happy with my progress. The lessons are always relaxed and enjoyable, but also professional with a focus and tailor-made according to my own personal goals, which I like. I prefer to concentrate on learning songs and to experiment with a variety of genres. Josh helps me do that and he keeps things fun by mixing in improvisation sessions and technique development to bring me on and help me improve as a player." Pete

Peter - Ireland$81

$81Traditional Irish music for fiddle and mandolin - all levels. Dance music, slow airs and Irish Baroque.

Trusted teacher: I take all students from beginner to experienced musicians (who often need coaching in deportment and/or bowing technique) and encourage proper traditional Irish style. I teach aurally and written music using enough music theory to pass Irish state examinations in either TTCT (traditional) all levels, or up to RICM (classical) to level 4. While keeping lessons lighthearted and fun the idea is to quickly build up a repertoire of tunes that allow the learner to 'sit-in' on sessions as quickly as possible while also learning how to learn so one can pick up tunes easily. I myself have 7 All Ireland medals stretching from 1971 to 2001.

Diany - Brussels, Belgium$32

$32Violin Classes for all ages! Learn the songs you like!

I love teaching music to people of all ages and backgrounds, regardless of their musical preferences. As a passionate violinist, I enjoy guiding students from beginners to advanced levels, helping them grow both technically and artistically. My students have achieved great success in music competitions and exams, and they always perform beautifully in concerts. In our violin lessons, we start with foundational elements like scales, progressing through repertoire suited to each student’s skill level. I also incorporate specialized techniques, such as the Tune Day Method, to enhance their playing. Above all, I want my students to enjoy the music they play, so I encourage them to choose pieces they love.

Corban - United States$52

$52Mandolin, Guitar, Uke, Repertoire, Music Theory, Songwriting, and Harmony Vocals (all levels, many styles)

I am a singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, graduate of Berklee College of Music (BM), and a lifetime student of traditional music. I have been teaching music for 6 years, and I am passionate about fostering a love for music in my students instead of simply teaching by rote. A lot of teachers focus excessively on the instrument being taught, instead of focusing on the music. An instrument is a tool for expressing music, and while a good technique is important, the real goal is learning how to apply the technique to express yourself. I tailor to my students’ individual tastes, using the music they love to teach them how to use the instrument. At Berklee, I gained a strong knowledge of jazz harmony and was introduced to many music styles from around the world. I can teach Bluegrass, New Acoustic Music, Celtic Music, Folk Songs, Jazz, Jazz Manouche, Blues, Pop, and Rock. In addition, I can use my songwriting expertise to help critique and develop your original music.

Cristiano - The Hague, Netherlands$64

$64A new approach to Mandolin and Ukulele - Accompanying, improvising and understanding music in a practical way.

Trusted teacher: Big music from small instruments. Mandolin and Ukulele have been quite a hype in the past 10 years. Nevertheless, these two small ones are not often used up to their full potential. Have you ever thought you could be a virtuoso in one of these instruments? That you could actually play in any style and be a great soloist as much as a violinist or a guitarist? Aside from learning the basics, I will show alternative tunings that will provide you with a better sound, a bigger range to play in, more versatility and comfort for the hand, awesome voicings and a clear visual map of chords, modes, and harmonic movements. I will help you to rethink the mandolin and the ukulele as truly complete and professional instruments and show you how to play on them in a broad variety of styles such as folk, blues, pop, rock, and jazz. [According to the style we will also be working with loops and effects.] This class is meant to guide you from the very first steps on your instrument up to a professional level. From beginners to advanced musicians who want to challenge themselves and enlarge their perspective on the instrument. The lessons will be custom made for each student. I will work to adapt to your learning rhythm while keeping you challenged at the same time. You will receive regular feedback, advice, and guidance and materials Don't hesitate to contact me for more details!

Guitar, Mandolin, Music Theory lessons by enthusiastic tutor and performer (The Hague)

Antonio

Antonio has been teaching my daughter for three months and she is absolutely thrilled with him. He is very patient and knows how to adapt and keep the child interested for the entire lesson so that she has learned a lot in the time. He makes the lessons fun and the house is filled with the sound of music and laughter. We could not be happier with Antonio. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn the guitar, regardless of age.
