Hello

Six strings, a lifetime.

I'm Markus. Since studying at the Jazzcampus Basel I've spent more than twenty years on stages across Europe, in studios and in teaching rooms around Aargau.

To the music
“The best of music is not to be found in the notes.”
Gustav Mahler, 1860 – 1911

Lessons

Joy first. Notes second.

You'll still learn the vocabulary of music. Nobody masters an instrument without it. But the joy of playing comes first. With or without sheet music, chart songs or classics from another era, your own tunes or improvisation: if you enjoy it, you'll get good at it. You sign up for guitar lessons directly with the music school.
