General Music

General Music

I have a diploma from Athens (Greece) Music Conservatory where I studied for 4 years. I have a degree in Musicology from Stockholm`s University. I have been a working, performing/recording musician for the last 30 years. I have been teaching guitar & Music theory for 30 years. I have released three cds under my name. My 1996 Greek release was voted Rock Album of the year in Greece. I have been playing regularly at BBKING`s NYC since 2006.
Greek

Greek

I am a native Greek-Athenian. I graduated from High School and College in Athens (Greece). I have been teaching Greek in NYC since 2005, both in private and in schools, and I have had many satisfied students and plenty of recommendations. I focus on Modern Greek Language and you can start speaking Greek from the first lesson. I use the same books and method, as the ones used at the Athens Centre for Greek studies. (Voted the best school for learning modern Greek in Athens-Greece).
Guitar

Guitar

I have been studying and playing the Guitar since I was 16 years old. I studied classical guitar in the Athens Conservatory for three years, while I was also figuring out the secrets of Blues & Rock guitar virtuosos by transcribing their licks, via intensive listening to their records, which also improved my ear training. Later on I studied Jazz guitar privately for three years in Athens following the Berklee method which I still use with my own students. I have been teaching and playing professionally since the mid 80`s first at the ABF music school in Stockholm (Sweden) and later in different music schools in Athens (Greece) and privately. Since 2004 I have been teaching in my own studio at midtown Manhattan. Many of my students have been accepted in Music Colleges such as Berklee and the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. I have been a recording-performing artist since the early 90`s with three CDs under my own name. I customize my lessons to fit each student`s individual level and needs and I accept all levels of proficiency in Blues-Rock & Jazz. I have been playing regularly at a local venue since 2006 where many of my students come to get a live experience. I have been inviting the really good ones to share the stage with me and my band.
Music Theory

Music Theory

I have received a diploma in Music Theory from The Athens Conservatory (Greece) and I also did further studies in Jazz harmony and world music in Stockholm's University (Sweden). I apply music theory every day to my guitar students, many of whom I have prepared for Music Colleges.
Voice (Music)

Voice (Music)

I have a diploma from The Athens (Greece) Music Conservatory where I studied Music Theory & Harmony for 4 years, with emphasis in piano playing, singing and how to conduct a choir. I have released three personal CDs where I am the lead singer and I play the guitar and the keyboard.

Really happy that we chose Spiros!

My son is really enjoying his first lessons with Spiros. He has fully engaged him. After the lessons my son takes his guitar and sits on the sofa practicing by himself on his own free will. He does that because he has been inspired. I wish I could get him that inspired to do other things! Really happy that we chose Spiros!

Enthusiastic and patient tutor.

Spiros rocks. He assessed where I was at in terms of my present Greek knowledge and dove in assisting me with some basics I had glossed over in my studies that have clarified a great deal. It is wonderful to have someone to bounce questions off of and guide my progress. I greatly look forward to our future lessons and increasing my proficiency in conversational Greek.
