About the teacher

I am a 25-year old guitarist from Estonia. I moved to Berlin in September 2014 to study electronic music production in dB's Music Berlin. I studied pop-jazz guitar in Georg Otsa nimeline Tallinna muusikakool and graduated from it in 2013. I was an active freelance musician laying on albums and in different projects. I play electric guitar most of the time but can teach acoustic as well.

The main thing I like about teaching is that when when you have a shared passion for music with the student, you both can inspire each other. Because I had a really good teacher in my school I find it very important to pass my skills on to keep the craft alive. I think you can't learn guitar only from tabs and YouTube, because you have to have a person who is present when you are practising your techniques and can give you real-time information about your development. I teach different playing techniques, jazz theory, ear training and styles (rock, indie, pop, funk, soul, jazz, blues etc.).

At the moment one of my main interests is electronic music, which I am studying too and incorporating it into my own music. I also like literature, movies and good coffee.
