I've only just started my guitar course with Gergely from PlayMusicPeople!, but I can already say his approach is incredibly welcoming and open. He's easy to reach and you can tell he loves what he does. With his vast experience, Gergely has a way of simplifying concepts which is really comforting for someone like me who has no music background but always wanted to play. I was nervous about it, yet he breaks down the process into manageable stages, making it much easier to understand and learn. It's not all about the notes with him; we focus on patterns, which makes things less daunting. We have a weekly group chat session, and he provides videos that explain things step-by-step—each video covers a different topic including finger movements—which simplifies learning even more. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn guitar; his method takes away the fear and replaces it with progress.

I've been taking guitar lessons with Gergely from PlayMusicPeople! and I must say, they're exactly what I was looking for. The lessons totally align with my musical interests and goals. We have weekly Zoom sessions which are super convenient to manage online. Gergely is always available for questions, making my experience with him fantastic. There's also a Facebook group for all the students which is great for motivation and support among us. He's always reachable via WhatsApp and phone, punctual, open to discussion, asks questions that help in my progress - basically everything you'd want in a teacher. I'm very satisfied with the service provided by Gergely; he's truly helped me improve my guitar skills.

I've been taking online guitar lessons with Gergely at PlayMusicPeople! from the comfort of my own home, and I'm really pleased with how things are going. The lessons are perfectly aligned with my musical interests and goals, going beyond just reading notes to understanding the feel of music, which is more than I expected. Gergely's teaching approach is excellent; he emphasizes that there's no rush and that enjoying the journey is key. This mindset has significantly improved not only my playing but also my relationship with learning music—it's about enjoying it rather than just focusing on the end goal. What I appreciate most is that Gergely tailors the curriculum to me whenever I want changes or need extra time on certain topics. He's always available for reviewing material, demonstrating great generosity in his teaching. Overall, it has been a rewarding experience learning guitar with him.

I've been taking guitar lessons with Elad and I must say, he's not only an incredibly talented musician himself but also a true professional as a teacher. He has this knack for identifying your weak spots and provides the right tools to work on them, all while tailoring the learning experience to match your personal strengths and weaknesses. Learning with Elad is not only educational but also enjoyable; he's just a great guy to be around. The learning environment is super comfortable and well-equipped, which makes a big difference. Plus, his lessons fully aligned with my musical interests and goals – so spot on there! His teaching methods were really effective for me. Whether you're just starting out or already playing at a professional level, Elad can definitely cater to your needs – he's great with kids too!

I hired Paulo for guitar lessons to improve my basic skills and gain confidence in improvising. Over a year of lessons, we covered everything I wanted and more. Paulo made theory accessible and chose music that fit both my taste and skill level. His fun, clear teaching style really helped me understand what I was learning. Most importantly, he motivated me to keep going, which meant a lot to me as a student. Thanks to him, I've gone from playing alone at home to performing my own songs and joining live jams! Our sessions were always comfortably challenging, and he was great at incorporating the music genres I love.

I'm in my late 50s, early 60s, and I struggled to find someone who could teach me how to play the guitar until I met Paulo. He's been my teacher for about four months now. Paulo has a lovely teaching approach; despite our different music tastes, he takes the time to research and suggest songs that align with what I enjoy. He personalizes each lesson for me, which makes a big difference. Learning at this age takes time, but Paulo is incredibly caring and patient—qualities that must come from his experience teaching kids too. Highly recommend him if you're looking for a guitar teacher who truly tailors the lessons to your preferences!

Why we created Locallista?
As expats, we understand how overwhelming it can be to settle into a new city, where even simple tasks become difficult without a network, complicated by language barriers and cultural differences. That’s why we created Locallista — a closed platform where expats connect with trusted service providers recommended by the community, ensuring clear communication in English or their native languages, making life easier.
