Guitar Lessons - Gitaarles - Classical, Pop, Rock, Folk, and More - In English or Nederlands
I am a Canadian classical guitarist and guitar instructor offering lessons in either English or Dutch. I am primarily educated and professionally active in classical guitar, but I teach in a variety of styles and genres. Every student has different goals, backgrounds, and abilities, so I teach each student with a custom-made approach. I work to help students develop strong guitar technique, musical knowledge, and literacy, and to be able to achieve their own goals with whatever music they want to learn and play.
I have years of teaching experience, both in Canada and the Netherlands, so I am comfortable working with students of different ages and levels. I hold a bachelor of music degree and a master of music degree from the University of British Columbia. I am currently pursuing a second master's in guitar performance at Conservatorium Maastricht.
I can teach in-home lessons or lessons at my studio, the price will vary depending on location, please contact me for exact pricing.

About Me
Michael is a Canadian classical guitarist who performs a variety of music, re-imagining historic and new works on the instrument. Michael fell in love with the classical guitar because of the variety of colors and textures available in its rich repertoire, and that’s what he strives to share with audiences around the world. He has performed as a soloist and chamber instrumentalist across Canada, the northwestern United States, and the Netherlands, and has been heard in solo recitals for guitar societies from Ottawa to Vancouver and the Tri-cities. He has been a soloist with the Ambrose Chamber Orchestra and the Calgary Arts Orchestra and has performed chamber music alongside artists such as Jonathan Crow and Joseph Johnson. Michael works to expand the repertoire for the classical guitar, both through transcription and commissioning new music, which is why he gravitates especially towards modern, contemporary, and baroque music. His debut CD ‘Sketches’, recorded in 2015, includes new music written for Michael by Toronto-based composer William Beauvais. In September of 2019, he will be performing a tour of concerts alongside the Canadian guitarist and composer Nathan Bredeson, where he will premiere new music he has commissioned in a program of all Canadian music for guitar. He also performs in Duo Tinüviel with soprano Jessica Turje, including in 2018 for the Mountain View International Festival of Chamber Music and Song. Aside from their regular performances in the Netherlands, they will be going in July of 2019 to perform and take part in the Camino Artes Guitar workshop in Carrion de Los Condes, Spain. Michael currently lives and teaches in Utrecht, the Netherlands, while he studies at Conservatorium Maastricht with Carlo Marchione.Ask a question

Electric, Acoustic, Classical guitar lessons in Jazz, Rock, Blues, Pop, classical, eastern traditional folk music. Composition, singing.Hello there! My name is Vasilis Papadopoulos and I am a jazz/rock/eastern traditional and classical guitar player, , singer and songwriter currently studying as a 3rd year student in the Jazz and Pop guitar department of HKU conservatory. I am coming from Greece where I graduated from my first bachelor on classical guitar and the last three years I live, study, work and play in Utrecht.
My teaching career started very early, 12 years ago when my classical guitar teacher let me teach my first student and since then I have worked in multiple music schools and in private lessons with students of every age. This year I also started giving my first band coaching group lessons.
In my lessons I try to create a learning path that is formed arround the interests and taste of each student. Since I am a singer and songwriter the lessons can also focus on the creating part of music if of course the student is interested in that. I work with empathy and sensitivity arround the needs of each student.
As for my playing career, I play with multiple bands on original songs of mine or covers in different venues and festivals in Europe. The genres differ between pop, jazz, rock, eastern traditional and blues so I can give a big variety of stylistic directions to each student.
Last but not least, I am also a singer and because of my good performance in school, I was awarded from the HKU Conservatory the oportunity to follow the vocal curriculum of the school as well. So I can help you with singing too!
And these are some videos of me playing:
Jazz : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Mvq6S-m1wdw
Rock (with my band Citrus Blossom where we play my own compositions) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z5LHGzUrsU

Classical Guitar methods and techniques, repertoire and basic theoryI have been playing Classical Guitar for 14 years. I have always practiced the greatest repertoire from Ancient Music (Dowland, Sanz, Bach), Modern and Contemporary (Paganini, Tarrega, Villa-Lobos, Brouwer) while experimenting other genres (Blues, Rock, Ragtime, Progressive, Pop) and composing music myself.
My goal is to valorise an activity that is both methodical and rigorous as well as creative and entertaining as Music itself.

GUITAR LESSON for ALL LEVELS ✨ taught by a seasoned CONSERVATOIRE PROFESSOR! 🎶The lessons can be conducted in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸 , or Italian 🇮🇹 , ensuring accessibility for all students.
Age and musical preferences are not limitations; with qualitative daily practice, rather than sheer quantity, progress can be swiftly observed. 💪🏼 🎶
My approach to classical guitar lessons is centered on tailoring them to each student's individual needs and potential. I prioritize fostering enthusiasm and motivation as primary tools for conveying technical and theoretical concepts, alongside a deep love for music. Lessons are open to students of all ages and skill levels. 🚀
The focus of the course revolves around the joy of playing music. Your favorite genres and pieces will take center stage, with a thorough exploration of their codes and secrets. Together, we'll delve into technical exercises and learn to play pièces of your choice or mine, enriching your repertoire and enhancing your playing style. 🤩
For example, we can reimagine pieces by applying advanced techniques such as the CAGED system, incorporating new chords, positions, and techniques like arpeggios and fingerstyle playing. This expands the instrument's capabilities and your playing skills, ensuring continuous progress and improvement. 👨🏻🏫
Upon request, the program also includes theoretical studies, which are presented in an accessible manner suitable for both beginners and experienced musicians. Exercises, pieces, and theoretical explanations are structured in a progressive order of difficulty.🔥
The theoretical program covers a range of topics, including guitar tuning, chord theory, scales and modes, finger picking techniques, strumming patterns, metronome practice, learning favorite songs, improvisation, harmony, melody, and rhythm theory.⚡️
Together, we'll embark on a musical journey tailored to your goals and aspirations, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching experience with the classical guitar.🔝☄️

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.
For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).
For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).
Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:
-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.
Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.
THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.
PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

Learn Guitar, Acoustic, Electric or Classical and/or Music TheoryLearning to play an instrument is an amazing skill to possess! I have been playing guitar for 12 years now and piano for 2 years. Playing instrument provides me with a hobby that is equal parts calming and fun, it brings joy to me and to others. It is best to start learning music at a young age however, it is never too late to pick up a new skill! I myself have recently tried learning the cello and it is exciting to say the least. I have many years experience tutoring and teaching both academically and musically. I have taught ages 4-15 years old in the past as well as having many years experience in customer service.
I can teach chords, fingerstyles and plucking, full songs or melodies, in either tab form or standard music notation.
