In the Cultural Department of Thermaikos Municipality (Thessaloniki) where I work, I started in 2008 the Guitar (C)Lab. In this Lab/Club, I teach classical guitar and organize concerts all year long.
I teach guitar to people of different ages and levels. More specifically, for the needs of my classes, I
- choose suitable pieces for every student
- teach a rich repertoire aiming to overcome technical and musical difficulties and widen the music horizons of my students
- introduce students to important performers and composers and guide them towards useful and inspiring musical listening
- recommend interesting recitals and concerts
- talk about history, theory and analysis to support performance and enhance understanding
- guide students to collaborate in ensembles (project Synolakia)
- take videos and promote guitar music in social media
- organize student concerts
- motivate exceptional students to become members of Guitar Heroes
The goal is to enjoy guitar music, make progress and introduce good music to our audience!
