Greetings Fellow Music Lovers!
I am a guitarist, composer, and educator from the US newly relocated to NL, based in Delft and offering guitar lessons and a wide spectrum of educational and musical services in South Holland and beyond. 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 both as an instrumentalist and composer.
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 and jam on the riffs to some simple songs or have more ambitious goals I'm sure that I can guide you on your journey.
I teach primarily at home in my living room in central Delft as well as at the Max Guitar Store in Den Haag Scheveningen, but am reachable from nearby cities such as: The Hague, Leiden, Rijswijk, Voorburg, Leidschendam, Pijnacker, Nootdorp, Delfgauw, Berkel en Rodenrijs, Zoetermeer, Schiedam, Rotterdam etc.
Please feel free to get in touch to express interest, discuss pricing and availability or with other questions or proposals. Looking forward to working with you and wishing you all the best on your musical journey!
Sincerely,
Alexander Baboian
