Bio

My name is Janis and I am a musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer and, of course, teacher from Greece. My life has always been full of music, as I started with piano lessons when i was 9 years old and then I enrolled in the Music School of Thessaloniki, where I learned the saxophone, the guitar and the double bass and explored a lot of different musical paths. After the music school, I got my Bachelor’s and Master’s degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki on Musicology and Music Education. My main instrument is the guitar, on which I have already been giving lessons for the past 14 years. My experience includes lessons with students from 5 to 50 years old, either in group or individual lessons, in private and in institutions. All these years of academic and practical teaching experience can guarantee an education process that will take care of students needs, preferences and requests. My method is always respectful and adaptive to my students’ personality, with my goal always being for my students to learn and enjoy themselves at the same time!

Guitar Lessons (electric / acoustic)

Guitar lessons are my forte, I have a teaching experience of 14 years, in which I have acquired a variety of educational skills and methods. In my lessons I incorporate some elemental but much needed hints of theory to help put a context in the practical knowledge I provide. This practical knowledge may consist of a variety of things. From simply exploring the instrument, to creating a distinct sound, to working on technique, to building a repertoire, to improvising and “jamming”, all accordingly to the students artistic orientation, I aim at building a global approach of the essence of the modern guitarist. For lessons at my location the students don’t have to bring their own instrument, as they can use my own.

 Lessons are only given on a weekly basis. Adults can choose between lessons of 45' or 60' minutes.

Je merkt dat Ioannis een ervaren docent is die lesgeven leuk vindt en zeer muzikaal is, en goed aanvoelt wat ik wil leren. Ik kijk uit naar de komende lessen!

Fijne lessen, waarin ik een start kreeg om te leren improviseren. Doordat ik tijdelijk geen saxofoon heb stop ik nu versneld. Maar het is ook jammer dat de digitale verbinding met Giannis niet altijd goed was. Van de laatste les kon ik weinig verstaan...

De proefles was ontzettend fijn. Janis weet ontzettend veel van de materie rondom de (bas)gitaar en het was heel fijn om, naast het praktijk gedeelte, ook een stukje achtergrond mee te krijgen.

Ik vond het een goede proefles waarbij de docent inspeelde op mijn niveau (niet muzikaal). Ik voelde me op mijn gemak en kon hierdoor goed de les volgen.

Ioannis has this ability of compressing vast knowledge in very small but understandable pieces, thus putting an order in the chaos of music theory and harmony and the possibilities that are hidden in them. He is actually the reason I managed to get accepted in the HKU Conservatory in Utrecht.

In our lessons with Ioannis I learned a lot of new stuff, but more importantly, I managed to put many things I already knew in their right place and order, which helped me make better sense of them and also helped me use them as a steady base to develop them more.

What's good about Ioannis is that he knows how to approach you, respecting your personality, level and orientation. It was with his help that I managed to unlock some artistic territories in my mind that I didn't even know existed.

Saxophone Lessons

If you'd like to learn the saxophone, then you came to the right place! Having studied and played the saxophone for 20 years, I can help you explore the world of improvisation, as paved by great masters such as Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins and others, or even make a path of our own! The lessons are focused on topics such as theory, technic and performance, that, when combined, they guarantee the most efficient learning experience! Whether you like jazz music, rock, pop or anything else, I can give you the tools to navigate in this wonderful world that is the saxophone! Lessons can be given to children, but adults will be preferred.

An instrument of your own will be requiered!

 Lessons are only given on a weekly basis. Adults can choose between lessons of 45' or 60' minutes.

Ukulele Lessons

The guitar’s younger brother, the ukulele is an instrument that is easy to get accustomed to and can be very fun to play! I am here to help students learn their favourite songs and also help them navigate through different chords and rhythms, in such a way that they will learn how to learn or compose songs themselves! For lessons in my location students will have to bring their own instrument
