About Maria-Alexandra

Professional musician and guitarist, obtained a first-class music degree at Middlesex University London in 2023. I have started music theory and piano lessons at the age of 7, and classical guitar at the age of 11. I have privately taught classical guitar, as well as acoustic guitar, followed by exceptional results on both sides.

About the lesson

Nothing but happiness I feel to teach you what I have learnt in 13 years of studying music and playing the guitar, known as the most versatile instrument of all western instruments. My approach is tailoring each lesson to the individual needs of the student, including technique focused, music theory and musical literacy or different genres of music (classical, jazz, bossa nova, pop, etc). What you will get: - audio/video recording as a prop up for your individual study - a music notebook - supporting materials (personalised scores, exercises, pdfs) What you will learn: - your favourite song on guitar - finger style and strumming techniques - reading score notation/tabulature - body posture - music theory - guitar percussion You can choose to learn guitar for various reasons, but you might want to know that playing an instrument develops cognitive functions of our brain and contributes to the general wellbeing of the mind.

EN: A lot of potential, very good communication. Watch out for the hands position when you do the exercise. Also try and play E major chord when you are bored.

Ro: Mult potențial, foarte bună comunicare. Rezultatele se vorbvedea rapid. Nu uita să ai grijă la poziția mâinilor atunci când cânți exercițiul. De asemenea verifică fin când în când acordajul prin sunarea acordului Mi Major ( E major).

Numai bine! Pe curând!

Alexandra is just amazing. I have never been too good at concentrating but somehow she has managed to make me learn musical notation, chords and even make them sound nice in just a few weeks :)) She gives really good tips and is always composed when I make mistakes. I really recommend her if you’re looking into guitar lessons.

When did you first develop a passion for music and your favourite instrument?
There always been a passion for music inside of me, but I didn't image myself playing guitar until I actually started playing it in middle school. I have never let this instrument down since.
Is there a particular type music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?
Music is a very broad term, but I do have my favorites, especially classical music composers. Some of them are Debussy, Bach, Chopin, M. Giuliani, F. Tarrega, J. Rodrigo, just to name a few. Regarding artists, I truly enjoy listening to Paco de Lucia, Julian Bream, Ana Vidović, Beatles, 3 Doors Down or Beyonce.
Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.
A initiation in stylistic harmony, together with a profound understanding of music theory would require a good amount of hours and subjects the student to a high degree of difficulty.

A second difficult course I could give to a music student would be about advanced techniques for sound quality.
What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?
I believe that the most complicated instrument is the human brain, and, if we succeed to control and understand it, then we will unlock the key towards mastering music as well.
What are your keys to success?
My keys to success are discipline, mindfulness and nurture.
Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.
Although I don't see them to be meet often in bar at early hours, these artists would be Ana Vidović and Galina Vale. That is because I am very curious to find out about their journey toward success in a men dominated music sector.
Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.
My guitar teacher used to say: "As in life, so in music. As in music, so in life".
What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?
I am trying my best to be a dedicated and very patiante teacher for my students. I am always asking for their feedback and I am keen to discover their questions. I also provide all sorts of supportive materials, specific to what we are working on.
