How lessons work

Lessons are one-to-one in Berlin, at your home or in the studio, in German or English. A lesson lasts 30, 45 or 60 minutes and costs €25 for 30 minutes, €40 for 45 minutes, €50 for 60 minutes. We work on the music you want to play, and I plan the technique around it.

Four ideas I teach by

They are the reason lessons look different for every student.

You set the direction

The music you love is the curriculum. We start with what excites you.

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.

A typical 45-minute lesson

The flow gives a lesson a frame without making it rigid.

Warm-up, 5 minLoosen your fingers and arrive.
Technique, 10 minOne thing, practiced on purpose: chords, picking, changes.
Song work, 15 minA piece you chose yourself. The core of the lesson.
Creative play, 10 minImprovise, play along to a backing track, try something new.
Review and goals, 5 minWhat worked, and what to practice until next time.

The start: the trial lesson

You start with a free trial lesson of 30 minutes. We talk about the music you like and what you want to play. I have instruments for the first lesson, so you do not need to bring anything.

Afterwards you know how lessons with me work. If it fits, we find a regular slot. If not, you have lost nothing.

Four instruments, many styles

I teach electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar and ukulele. Styles such as rock, pop, blues, jazz, funk, R&B, classical, fingerstyle, improvisation and songwriting are all possible.

Electric guitarFrom rock to jazz: sound, picking and techniques that sound like you.
Acoustic guitarAccompaniment, fingerstyle and your own songs.
Bass guitarGroove and rhythm: the foundation of every band.
UkuleleSmall and handy, an easy way into your first songs.

How much to practice?

The answer depends on age, and it is never a must.

Ages 5 to 8: Just play for fun.
Ages 9 to 12: 10 to 15 minutes a day.
Ages 13 to 18: 20 to 30 minutes a day.
Adults: As much as fits your life.

Practice should feel like play, not like a chore.

Where, when and in which language

I come to your home or we meet in the studio, anywhere in Berlin. Lessons run in German or English, whichever you prefer.

If you take lessons regularly, you can book a 12-lesson package with 10% off and a reserved weekly slot.
