Laura V.

About Laura
I am 24 and I live in Aarhus.
I am an electric guitar player, composer and arranger, graduated from Magna cum Laude in Jazz Guitar in Rome, Italy.

At the moment I am doing my Masters degree in Music Composition at Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium in Aarhus.

I mainly have a jazz background due to my studies of bachelor in jazz guitar, however, I have also played as a session guitarist in other musical situations such as reggae bands, acoustic duos, pop/folk songwriter bands and rock coverbands.

About teaching
I mainly teach rhythmic guitar, sight reading, harmony, theory and ear training. I have taught in different music schools in the past. I have experience teaching children as well as teenagers and adults.

Last year I have done a 6 month internship in Aalborg where I have taught guitar and sight reading in Det Jyske Musikkonservatorium in Aalborg.

I have basic skills also in piano, which I use when I teach harmony, theory, ear training and eventually also to explain theoretical concepts on guitar.

I am learning to speak Danish, but at the moment I am only able to teach in English. I am very flexible and I love leading my students towards their musical goals, listening to their needs and guiding them through the varieties in the musical world.

First lesson
Before the first lesson I like to have a conversation with the student to know their musical interests, their preparation (if any) and their goals, in order to focus the lessons on achieving it.

Once these elements are clear, I can organize some material for the first lesson, and then we can discuss together which direction to go.
