My name is Nicolás Ramírez, I´m a musician and a guitar teacher. To me music is more than just a hobby. It´s a way of expressing myself, my emotions and experiences. At the same time it is a form of therapy as it is a path of self-exploration. Also a way to have fun and to comunicate.
I like to teach with a practical approach, adapted to the student. I try to help the student tpo internalize the music,also to be able to play from heart and ear, not only by theory. We also learn the theory bases neccesary to play in a harmonic way, also to understand the musical language and to comunicate with other musicians. I adapt myself to the students' wishes and needs on how he/she wants to play and learn, taking into consideration favourite styles and songs, motivation, needs and wishes.
My classes are directed towards beginners as well as advanced players. Each class will be different for each student as I believe that each person has it´s own way of learning and expressing itself through music. Classes can be given in spanish, german or english.
Aproximately and depending on the student´s level, needs and wishes, classes will include:
-Solid fundations for begginers
*Basic Chords
*Good posture (to prevent injuries on long term)
*Strumming techniques and fundations to learn other strumming patterns, pick and
fingers)
*Arpeggios
*Songs adapted to each step and, if possible and wished, chosen by the student
* First steps toward some specifice genres: blues, rock, raeggae, funk, rock, pop,
bluesgrass, country, ...
*Musical expression without specific song
*Tuning by ear
*Initiation in improvisation and study of basic scales to deepen pur musical
knowledge and understanding
*....
- Deepening of the advanced student´s skills and knlowledge
* Refinement of already known skills (if wished and necessary)
*In depth study of some genre(s)
*Initiation on improvisation
*Further development of improvisation and backing
* Deepening into study of scale and their use

As I studied psycology I´m much aware of the benefits and value of music for our mental health and general well being. That´s why I also like teaching and talking about the following subjects (if interested):
-Musical expresion and it´s therapeutic value
-Free musical expression
-Expression of ones feelings and thoughts through own songs
-Creativity training and how to open up to it
-Using our voice for singing and improvisation
...
If you are interested you con reserve a free first session, in which we can get to know each other and talk about your objectives, level, doubts about my method or any other relevant question.
I´d be happy to help you find your sound and way through music.
