Introduction
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.

Gitaarlessen zijn mijn specialiteit. Ik heb 12 jaar leservaring, waarin ik een verscheidenheid aan onderwijskundige vaardigheden en methodes heb ontwikkeld. In mijn lessen verwerk ik enkele elementaire maar broodnodige stukjes theorie om context te geven aan de praktische kennis die ik aanbied.Die praktische kennis kan uit allerlei zaken bestaan: van het simpelweg verkennen van het instrument, tot het creëren van een eigen geluid, het werken aan techniek, het opbouwen van een repertoire of het improviseren en “jammen”. Alles wordt aangepast aan de artistieke oriëntatie van de leerling, met als doel een brede benadering van de essentie van de moderne gitarist te ontwikkelen.Voor lessen op mijn locatie hoeven leerlingen geen eigen instrument mee te nemen, want ze kunnen gebruikmaken van het mijne. Lessen kunnen aan kinderen worden gegeven, maar volwassenen hebben de voorkeur. Lessen worden uitsluitend wekelijks gegeven.

De jongere broer van de gitaar, de ukelele, is een instrument dat gemakkelijk aan te leren is en heel leuk kan zijn om te bespelen! Ik ben er om leerlingen te helpen hun favoriete liedjes te leren en hen tevens wegwijs te maken in verschillende akkoorden en ritmes, op een manier waarop ze leren hoe ze zelf liedjes kunnen leren of componeren.Voor lessen op mijn locatie moeten leerlingen hun eigen instrument meebrengen.
