Greetings Fellow Music Lovers!

I am a guitarist, composer, and educator from the US newly relocated to NL, based in Delft and offering music lessons and educational services in South Holland. I did my bachelor's in guitar performance at Berklee College of Music where I specialized in Jazz, and hold master's degrees from Yerevan State Conservatory and Royal Conservatoire Antwerp where I specialized in Performance, Composition and Electronic music.

While my background is in Jazz and I approach music from this perspective I am quite open minded and versitile and am happy to work with students at a variety of levels of experience, stylistic backgrounds and interests. Whether you are new to music and to the guitar and want to strum the chords to some simple songs or are interested in advanced techniques, challenging pieces and ambitious goals I'm sure with my background, education and experience that I can help you on your journey.

I teach at home in my living room in central Delft or can come to your location as well in Delft or nearby cities such as: Den Haag, Rijswijk, Voorburg, Pijnacker, Nootdorp, Delfgauw, Schiedam, Rotterdam.

Please feel free to get in touch to express interest, discuss pricing and availability or any other questions or proposals. Looking forward to working with you and wishing you all the best on your musical journey!

Sincerely,
Alexander Baboian
