Hurdy-gurdy lessons Online

Let’s explore the world of hurdy-gurdy together - online or in-person!

Are you looking for a hurdy-gurdy teacher? Do you feel overwhelmed with practicing or the instrument itself? Are you ready to become a well-equipped and independent hurdy-gurdy player?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, maybe it's time for some hurdy-gurdy lessons! :)

If you would like me to teach you, here is how it works:

1. Book a lesson via Calendly: https://calendly.com/michalina-malisz/experiment1et

2. Pay with Paypal (michalina.malisz@gmail.com) or online transfer (details under Pricing section)

3. Everything’s set! Now it’s time to meet on Skype or in-person :)

During our first lesson, we will:
- take a look at your instrument and address any questions you might have
- play a few simple melodies and exercises
- talk about your goals with the hurdy-gurdy
- talk about the music you like to listen to and would like to play
- find a repertoire fitting your individual taste and preferences

In our further meetings, we will:
- learn the basic technique of playing the hurdy-gurdy, do a lot of right (crank and trompette) and left-hand (keyboard) exercises, talk about the maintenance of the instrument
- break down and learn the songs & tunes you would like to play

If you don’t have a hurdy-gurdy and you come to a one-on-one lesson in Kraków (Poland), you can rent one from our workshop.

What my students say:

Michalina is very knowledgeable and patient and immediately picked up on small mistakes that were hindering my playing that other instructors had not. My playing has dramatically improved in the few months I've been taking lessons with her and reignited my interest in the gurdy. She also has gone out of her way to find pieces that I actually enjoy playing! I highly recommend her to all levels of students.

Michalina is an amazing teacher. She breaks down complex ideas into fun and manageable programs I can practice at home. I see progress week to week that I definitely wouldn't be able to achieve on my own. The hurdy-gurdy has a lot of moving parts and I feel like I’m starting to really understand the instrument after working with her.

I started my hurdy-gurdy path in January 2022, and from the beginning, Michalina has proven to be outstanding: she has shaped a perfect study path, focusing on my interests and time availability. Her expertise has led me to be interested again in learning music, and I am really grateful for that. I definitely recommend her lessons!
