Lucas Terhaar
I have been teaching since 2018 and have taught more than 200 students. I studied Music Education and jazz guitar in Wuppertal, and I play on stage myself with the band Tropica.
I care about passion and patience, and about growth over perfection. It is never too late to start.

Two journeys I have been part of
Back to the guitar at 67
A student had stopped playing at university. At 67 he picked the guitar up again. Within two years he went from stiff fingers to jamming and improvising blues.
