About Mischa
With 15 years experience I am friendly, patient and enthusiastic and my lessons encourage you to enjoy playing, express yourself, and grow as a musician.
I have extensive experience teaching all ages and abilities in one-to-one and group settings.
Whether you're just starting or looking to deepen your musical skills, my teaching style is fun, focused and tailored to how you learn best. Learning an instrument takes time —there are no hacks or cheat codes. I focus on building your passion for the instrument, while giving you the tools and structure to keep progressing over time.
Beginner Lessons
* I’ve helped many students through the early hurdles—sore fingers, fret buzz, tricky hand positions etc — with patience and encouragement.
* We set clear goals based on the styles you want to play
* I’ll ask for your favourite songs and inspirations to use as material to guide you through the early stages of guitar or bass.
* Learn chords, strumming patterns, fingerpicking, scales, beginner riffs and solos.
* After 10 lessons aim to be able play along to most popular songs
Intermediate Lessons
I specialise in helping intermediate players deepen their musicianship and instrumental skills.
I encourage a multi-instrumental approach in my teaching— using the keyboard to help visualising harmony, drumming to help embody rhythm and singing to help internalise melody.
Here are some areas I focus on in intermediate lessons:
Fretboard & Harmony
* Learn to pick up songs by ear and join in with jams
* Move beyond first‑position pentatonic‑boxes
* Learn to use familiar chord and scale shapes to follow chord changes.
* Expand across keys, positions, inversions and broaden your harmonic vocabulary.
* Music theory concepts are only introduced through playing hearing and feeling.
Groove & Rhythm
I specialise in teaching rhythm guitar, and groove-oriented bass. These lessons focus on developing a strong time feel—essential for strong musicianship!
* Deep dive into right and left-hand rhythmic techniques
* Learn to play the drums through your guitar/bass
* Explore groove patterns, claves, syncopation, note length and dynamics
Improvisation & Composition
These lessons help you to develop your int...
