Teaching
Modal approaches to guitar
I am an experienced teacher. For several years I was an instructor of jazz guitar to some of the best young Chinese guitarists at the Beijing Institute for Contemporary Music. I have also taught music at schools, and to private students.
I can teach specialisms including:
Creative experimental use of loopers and other time-based effects
Solo 6- and 12-String acoustic guitar performance
True modal improvisation basd on Central Asian musical study
Basic, intermediate and advanced guitar technique
Free improvisation and long-form modal improvisation
I am a highly curious and adventurous musician, and my most compatible students are mostly interested in developing their own eclectic improvisational voice on the guitar.
I can teach in person (around Amsterdam), or remotely via Forte or other similar platform.
