Andrew - Edinburgh£36
£36Music and Drumming: Becoming a Confident Personality Behind the Kit
Becoming a confident musician is a skill that requires discipline, dedication and hard work. However I strongly believe that whether you wish to progress your skills on an instrument to a professional level, simply get the most out of playing In a band with friends or jamming along to your favourite playlists, the art of learning an instrument is an incredibly rewarding skill. In our lessons we will focus on building a solid foundation across the basics of playing the Drum Kit. We will discover the rich and diverse history of the instrument and move through the jazz, funk, rock and pop era's of music. While I am happy to tailor all of these lessons to the student's needs, I do believe having a basic knowledge of where the instrument and it's vocabulary came from is essential and will have a positive impact on the students playing. Listening is important! We will work through a number of landmark recordings that carve the path of the Drum Kit's evolution and continue the listening process all the way to your favourite songs and how the drums affect that music and the rest of the band! I am also happy to work through ABRSM, Trinity Guildhall and/or Rockschool exam grades. Music is all about communication, and being able to fluently communicate ideas on any instrument requires time and practice. However, like with your very first English lessons in school, over time you can develop the skill of communication to a point where you can exchange many different ideas and create interesting conversations (this time between musical instruments rather than your friends in the pub!). Although I understand music is a not a career for everyone, I strongly believe that learning how to play any instrument properly with discipline and good practice will enhance your life is more ways than anyone who doesn't play music will understand.

Jake - Bonnyrigg£48
£48Probably the Best Guitar Lessons in Midlothian/Edinburgh
My name is Jake and I am a skilled, calm and professional guitar tutor based in Midlothian. I have studied the guitar for over twenty years, and completed the BA (Hons) Popular Music course at Edinburgh Napier University in 2014 with a 1st Class Honours degree. I am PVG (Protecting Vulnerable Groups) certified; proof can be provided upon request. Quotes from current and past students: “Jake has been my guitar teacher since 2017, and I’ve been enjoying the lessons thoroughly. He’s got amazing talent and knows exactly what he’s talking about – theory (scales, modes), technique, improvisation etc. He’s able to teach all of that in an interesting way. He’s also very flexible and keen to either recommend a lesson subject or ask me what I’d like to learn instead. He’s also very friendly and easy to talk to, so the lessons just fly by. Overall, can’t recommend him enough!” – Lukasz. “I have been learning guitar with Jake since 2019 and he has helped me go from an absolute beginner with zero experience to being able to play songs which I want to learn. Its been a really good experience and has allowed me to learn how to do something which I had always wanted to try. Lessons were in person up until March 2020 and then moved to online Skype due to the covid lockdown. Jake had invested in equipment such as professional cameras and microphones to be able to provide digital lessons to the same quality and high standard which I was having in person and I have continued to improve my skills during this time. Now I have the option of online or in-person. I would highly recommend Jake's services if you are looking to learn guitar!” - Craig. I am the most often and best reviewed Midlothian/Edinburgh-based guitar tutor Affordable guitar lessons for ages 10+ and any style ranging from acoustic pop and jazz to blues/rock/metal. Chords, soloing, technique, songwriting or theory. Easy-going, friendly and effective teaching methods can help you quickly master a new skill. I can teach you everything you need to know, and the lessons will be focused around you, your style, and what you want to learn. Please contact me for details and prices. “I have been working under Jake's guidance for almost four years now, and I couldn't be more satisfied. Jake's approach to teaching is fresh and dynamic, he has the patience required of a great instructor, and always maintains high-quality standards. The learning materials he will provide are excellent and, as you will progress, more and more personalised. Due to the covid pandemic, Jake seamlessly moved his lessons to an online format (via Skype) setting up everything to match the in-person sessions, and nothing of note got lost in the transition and the quality wasn't affected at all. Could not recommend more if you are looking for an experienced and engaging musician to learn from scratch or grow further!” - Federico

Michael - Rosyth£35
£35Lets Write a Song Together - Think, Sing, Play, Smile!
I have been writing songs now for 30 years, including being asked to write lyrics for local charities and for special occasions. Songwriting theory and musical theory and compositions can often take the fun out of lifting and playing music - whether its a guitar, microphone, drum kit! These 1 hour sessions give the customer an opportunity to explore musical styles, rhythms, while personalising a song for their own use. Every song created will be supplied in an electronic copy, with the lyrics displayed in a certificate explaining the background to the song/ lyrics/ tune etc. Option1 : Tutor and customer discuss the scope of the song - whwether the song is to be personal - about someone, somewhere, a particular event - whether the song is to be uplifting or melancholy, with distortion, or smooth? These personalised songs can be so well received; especially with a copy of a certificate explaining why it was written, when it was written and for whom. Option 2: The Random Song - pick some random words and create a masterpiece; see the story come to life as the song verses merge into a meaningful chorus.... or let the fun begin, and let the children ( small and grown up) have loads of ideas which randomly converge into YOUR song! Can be done in person as part of a 'party' or online over Teams etc. No two sessions are ever the same; and multiple members can dial in if you want them to share in the Songwriting process! Please feel free to ask questions, I have sample certificates available, and would love to hear from you! Every session comes with an e version of the recorded song, and an electronic copy of the certificate, showing the lyrics and details of the songwriter, date created/recorded.

Piano lessons - music theory and harmony - for any level (Budapest)
Giorgia
I started my lessons with Giorgia four months ago, and I am so glad to have found her. As a 26-year-old beginner, I was not sure if I should even try to pursue learning an instrument at this point. But now I am so glad I did! I am learning online, and I was a little unsure of how lessons via webcam would go. Despite my prejudice, everything turned out great, even though my setup is quite basic. Her approach to teaching is very creative. She is able to explain things that seem hard to put into words, and she always finds comparisons and descriptions that convey clearly little details of approach that make a lot of difference in the end result. For any difficulty I encountered, she presented methods of exercise that helped correct it. Another thing that I appreciate is that from one lesson to the next, the volume of work is challenging enough that I feel I am making progress, but not to the point that I am overwhelmed. Also, even though I am just beginning and the pieces are not that complex, she explains the musical interpretation in a way that not only helps me advance my skill but also enriches the way I understand and listen to music, and I find great value in that. Her manner of teaching is very organic, and she is a patient teacher with a warm presence. I wholeheartedly recommend her lessons!

Instrumental Teacher ( Piano, Guitar, Bass & Ukulele)
Mary
Mary has been great in our interactions. At the moment, we are meeting twice a week for an hour each session. She started with a class in which we got to know each other and she listen to my goals. Then, she prepared exercises and lessons specially designed to help me reach those goals with practice and also prepared lessons to help me continue growing as a guitar player. Moreover, she goes often out of her way to get songs challenging to my level, but that are doable with enough practice. In all, I am enjoying quite a lot of our classes and I am always looking forward to them.

Flamenco, Classical and Modern Guitar lessons with or without theory (Madrid)
Leandro
I've been thoroughly enjoying my online music lessons with Leandro. What stands out to me the most is his thoughtful approach and attention to detail in every aspect of each class and exercise. Leandro goes beyond just providing material; he teaches how to practice it effectively. I particularly appreciate the well-laid-out assignments he provides after each class, which help me stay focused and motivated.
