You set the direction
The music you love is the curriculum. We start with what excites you.
About Lucas
I'm Lucas Terhaar, a guitarist and music educator in Berlin. I have been teaching since 2018, I have taught more than 200 students, and I play in the band Tropica myself.
Lucas Terhaar
I fell in love with the guitar at a very young age, but only started playing and practicing as a teenager. After school, I studied Music Education and jazz guitar, played and recorded with a lot of different bands and musicians, and eventually turned my passion into a career helping others to discover theirs.
How I teach
Whether your child is picking up a guitar for the first time, or you are an adult who finally wants to learn the song you always loved, I build the lessons around what excites you.
Four ideas stand behind it: you set the direction, you make real music from the start, small wins build confidence, and you learn by doing. For me it is about growth, not perfection.
Real music from day one
No weeks of scales before the first song. You make music from the very first lesson.
Small wins build confidence
One goal a week that you can reach. When you get somewhere, you want to keep practicing.
Learn by doing
Less theory in one block, more guitar in your hands. You learn guitar by playing it.
