Hallo Allemaal!

Ik ben een gitarist uit Hongarije en ik studeer momenteel in Rotterdam bij Codarts. Ik geef gitarles in het Nederlands en in het Engels maar ik vind het belangrijk om te vertellen, dat mijn Nederlands is ongeveer op B2 niveau, dus ik spreek het en begrijp het naturlijk wel maar niet als een moedertaliger. Ik geef les voor alle leeftijden, van beginner tot semi-advanced. Meer over mijn ervaring als docent en muzikant kan je hieronder in het Engels lezen!

Hi all, I am Tomi, a fusion-oriented guitarist from Hungary, currently studying at the jazz guitar department of Codarts.

I started playing the guitar at the age of 12 and was self-taught for a few years, then started getting private lessons mainly focusing on the basics of technique and how to play and improvise in certain styles of music. I later did my first bachelor in pop music at the "Kőbánya Music Studio"  in Budapest and now I am relocated to Rotterdam for my jazz studies.

As a guitarist I've had many experiences playing many genres of music both live and in studio recordings. I've played gigs behind big pop artists, played on on cruiseships, did many sessionwork and I am currently mostly focused on my own project under my own name, which is a jazz-rock fusion band that I started in 2022.

As for teaching, I've started giving guitar and theory lessons at the age of 18 and began to build my base of private students which consisted of both children from 6 years old to adults, as well as taught in a musical institute (Kőbányai Zenei Stúdió) in Budapest, where I had around 20 students between 18 and 30-year-olds. Now I am starting to build this base in the Netherlands, and I am happy to see students, regardless of age or level so from total beginners to semi-advanced players I am happy to help anyone!

I like focusing on what the students want to learn and try to give them the knowledge in the most digestable way, which of course differs from person to person. If you are someone who needs theoretical knowledge to support your playing or ear training I am happy to help but if you just want to learn your favorite songs ,improvise or just generally want to learn more about music I am also honoured to help you.

The lessons can take place personally at Charlois (Rotterdam Zuid) on Mondays and at the WMDC building (near Coolhaven) in the rest of the week or online video lessons via Zoom are always an option. In the case of video lessons, you'll recieve a Zoom invitation link from me!
