Qualified Teacher of Electric/Acoustic Guitar/Theory and Composition gives lessons specializing in the musical genre of worldfusion. Techniques taught on electric guitar: rhythm and lead, staccato (alternate picking, economy picking), legato (hammer on, pull off, hybrid picking, bend, strum, palm muting, whammy bar (hard rock, blues, far eastern-middle eastern vocal lines, tapping, sight reading, chords, arpeggios, sweep picking, Ebow, Bottleneck Slide, alternate tunings. Usually most students are interested in integrating and using these techniques to personify non-European music on the electric guitar, both on an equal temperament and non equal, as the electric guitar can "play" in both worlds equally. Finally, I use embodied self-awareness techniques (body scan, breathing awareness, etc.) which are found in Alexander's Technique and Mindfulness Meditation practices, thus helping to improve the student's technique and musicality on their instrument. Why would someone prefer you? My specialization is the electric guitar in the musical idiom of worldfusion, i.e. the osmosis of elements of western popular music with non-European idioms and traditions. The art of music is structured on its 5 worlds: melody, harmony, rhythm, form and timbre. On a cross-cultural level, one can equate each of these 5 parameters with a musical culture and thus unlimited possibilities of original musical creation can arise. For example, imagine a musical composition or improvisation with Indian melody, jazz harmony, Greek rhythm, in ballad form with rock timbre. My teaching can be focused for anyone interested in learning ways to achieve similar musical combinations. Also, due to my studies in the sciences of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnomusicology, all technical and theoretical musical knowledge is also documented on a historical and cultural level based on selected scientific literature that I provide to the student. All in all, together we can explore its worlds: A) popular music (rock, pop, metal, indie, blues, progressive, world music, ambient, cinematic) B) western art music (medieval, Baroque Renaissance, Classicism, Romanticism, 20th century) C) traditional and non-European music (Greece, Balkans, Ireland, India, China, Japan and Indonesia, Africa and the Middle East) D) methods of embodied self-awareness (Mindfulness Meditation, Alexander's Technique) EXPERIENCE/EDUCATION Teaching private lessons (2014-present) Participation in music ensembles, bands and theatre performances as electric guitarist and composer (2014-present) National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - Department of Music Studies/ direction Ethnomusicology and Cultural Anthropology (M.A.) (2023) Counterpoint and Harmony (honors) from the Athens Conservatory (2021) Poetry workshop "Takis Sinopoulos Foundation" (2021) Mindfulness Meditation (2019-present) Alexander's Technique (2023)
