Petros Stathatos
I am Petros Stathatos. I am a professional musician, guitarist, songwriter and tutor based in London covering many different genres from pop-rock to hard rock, blues, funk, jazz & fusion. My main influences include major international artists such as Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, David Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Scott Henderson, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson.
I have been working in the UK as a music instructor for the last 5 years teaching classes of all ages at JCM music school and currently at Marie De Bry Arts Academy covering different levels of students, from beginners & intermediate to the more advanced.
I have graduated from BIMM London (2017) where I was awarded with a Music Bachelor Degree, while before I was studying music and taking guitar lessons for another 8 years in my hometown Athens (Musical Praxis Conservatory & National Conservatory of Athens, Greece) where I was trained to teach both eastern & western contemporary music. Therefore, I teach my students to develop a wide and diverse approach while learning. Over this period in my career, I have attended lessons with some of the finest masters of the instrument like John Wheatcroft, Les Davidson, Jim Clark and have gained recognition following masterclasses with Nile Rodgers, Frank Gambale, Larry Carlton, Vinnie Moore, Mike Stern, Oz Noy & Nick Mason among others. I am also no stranger to the London music scene, having formed the rock band Seismic Moonfrog, as lead guitarist & joint songwriter, adding to my 10 years experience as a gigging session musician.
During the lessons, I help the students develop stylistic diversity, essential techniques, advanced popular/jazz theory & harmony, sight reading and ear training and fine-tuning of their favourite songs. Also I prepare students for internationally acclaimed music exams like the RGT & the RSL upon request. If you are looking for a tutor who is patient, highly organised, outcome-driven and professionally motivated, do not hesitate to get in touch.
