Göteborg
Ludwig Störholt
"Mitt huvudfokus är klassisk musik av vilket jag studerat på HSM i Göteborg, men hyser ett stort intresse för andra genrer som jazz, blues, folkmusik och improvisation. Jag anser att musiken inte har några gränser och att man kan ha stor nytta av att röra sig inom flera olika genrer. Jag ger lektioner med elevens egna genuina intresse i absolut största fokus. Utöver klassisk musik och ovan nämnda genrer är jag väl bekant med musikteori, arrangering, komposition och musikproduktion. Jag erbjuder lektioner för både nybörjare och mer erfarna pianister som vill fördjupa sina kunskaper inom klassisk musik, teknik, notläsning, jazz, komposition, musikteori och/eller mer allmänt pianospel som att kunna ackompanjera sig själv eller andra."
